eFootball 2025 Club International Cup 2025 pack review

The combination of having Big Time and Show Time cards in a pack continues as eFootball 2025 brings the Club International Cup 2025 lineup this time around. Again, three great picks from the recently concluded FIFA Club World Cup, and all three look fantastic picks.

Cole Palmer is your Big Time card here, after a fantastic showing at the finals with a double, as fellow teammate Joao Pedro is here as a Show Time card. Marquinhos from PSG completes the ST lineup. So, how do these cards fare? Time to find out.

Again, a 150-card player pack and you have 1 Big Time card in Palmer, with the other two being Show Time.

Cole Palmer

• Position: RMF
• Playing Style: Creative Playmaker
• Showtime Skill: Momentum Dribbling

Palmer feels slick on the ball. His tight possession and ball control are elite, making him super smooth in those wide attacking areas. He’s got that tall, lanky body type, but it doesn’t feel clunky; his movement is sharp and smooth to move around. Those numbers go up insanely high, but mid-90s is a sweet spot.

Speed and balance are high, and the Double Touch and Cut Behind & Turn skills combo make him fun to dribble with. Passing is great, especially short and through balls in the final third. He isn’t a heavy shooter, but good shooting skill options give him options to surprise the keeper and can push it if you want more accuracy.

The weak foot stats are a letdown; don’t expect consistent results with the right. Play him SS or AMF if you want someone who can carry the ball forward and create chances consistently. The build should also be something similar. For the skills, Outside Curler is a must in my opinion.

João Pedro

• Position: CF
• Playing Style: Deep-Lying Forward
• Showtime Skill: Phenomenal Finishing

Here’s an interesting card, a Deep-Lying Forward isn’t something that is preferred by many, but yes, here Joao Pedro is someone who ticks the right boxes. Right off the bat, I can say this card feels explosive. That high 90s Acceleration shows immediately, a burst of pace is always nice to have on a striker.

This, combined with high balance and decent physical contact, makes him hard to push off the ball. He has a good player ID. He can shoot with power, and the finishing is very reliable in most situations, so you can chip it down from the mid-90s to allocate it to speed, which I feel was lacking.

For a DLF, he surely isn’t someone who fits the bill; he’s got through passing but lacks One Touch Pass, which is a must for this playstyle. Decent weakfoot too, so overall your typical Show Time striker but would have moved better if he had a Goal Poacher style, but there are plenty in number anyway.

Marquinhos

• Position: CB
• Playing Style: Build Up
• Showtime Skill: Fortress

Marquinhos is one of the more complete CBs in the game. He’s fast, aggressive, and excellent in both ground and aerial duels. His defensive stats are stacked, and god, his autobuild numbers in defense go to ridiculous.

Many have this problem with him, where they find he isn’t very tall and loses headers. Well, this doesn’t seem to be a problem with him. With the right build, he goes over 80s in Speed and Acceleration, so he isn’t slow in any case.

Physically strong too, so he holds up well against bigger strikers. Jumping is top tier, making him great at defending set pieces. But what could have made this card a solid pick was giving him the Aerial Fort ST skill over Fortress. Don’t forget to give him Sliding Tackle and Aerial Superiority skills, two must-haves.

To be really honest, none of these are end-game cards, and we have had so many of the cards that have been dropped to this game, so these look strong, but they don’t match the prowess. Again, if you are a new player, stellar pack to open, rest okay.
