It is Show Time! Yeah, I’m talking about the pack that’s live in eFootball 2026, the Offensive Genius pack. As the title suggests, we will have three ST picks that are offensive players, and the lineup consists of Erling Haaland, Romelu Lukaku, and Kaoru Mitoma.
All three on paper carry strong stats, and it looks like we have a good pack in our hands. But again, we need to see how these three fare in the current meta, which becomes important to form our respective squads. So here’s my review and verdict for the three.
This is a 150-player pack, and all three get a Show Time skill. Haaland and Mitoma get two each.
Erling Haaland
- Position: CF
- Playing Style: Fox in the Box
- Showtime Skill: Phenomenal Finishing and Bullet Header
Haaland is easily the face of this pack and the biggest reason anyone would pull for it. The stats come in as pretty dope, and you also have two of the best striker Show Time skills slapped onto him. Already a solid finisher, he gets Phenomenal Finishing, so that really helps in tackling his lower balance numbers.
Combined with the Bullet Header, he becomes a nightmare for defenders on crosses, and his physical frame is actually handy to dodge past defenders and win headers. No complaints about pace, he is fast off the ball and with the ball, I do feel sluggish, so improve his dribbling numbers.
Lurking in scoring areas, always ready to pounce. The sheer physicality and pace he brings allow him to shrug off defenders easily, and I also felt balance was better compared to other cards. His shot power is insane, just like rockets.
With all being said, I can totally see players struggling to adapt to him if they don’t know how the Fox in the Box playstyle works. Honestly, it does need time to understand movements, and if you rely on passing the most, Haaland might sometimes frustrate you.
Romelu Lukaku
- Position: CF
- Playing Style: Goal Poacher
- Showtime Skill: Visionary Pass
A confusing card for me, because I don’t remember any striker getting only Visionary Pass as a Show Time skill. It is a strong Second Striker (SS) skill, but Lukaku gets it. He also gets a passing boost because of this, servicable for the link-up plays.
Speaking about the card, Lukaku arrives in this pack as another strong forward option, though not quite at Haaland’s level. Makes you think because stats are almost similar, but Haaland has a superior player ID and two strong ST skills.
Physically, he’s a tank, which makes him dangerous when holding up play. He has the strength to bully his way into scoring positions, but his finishing isn’t very accurate, 8/10 I would say. Good pace, no problems with dribbling either, although I did feel sluggish at times, overall a solid Poacher option.
Kaoru Mitoma
- Position: LMF
- Playing Style: Cross Specialist
- Showtime Skill: Momentum Dribbling and Acceleration Burst
Here’s a dribbler’s delight following two striker options. Still, there is a nice twist, which I will explain. Mitoma gets a good treatment when it comes to stats, ticks boxes in dribbling, which are solid numbers, and can even hit the 100s range.
Passing treatment is also good, can push those numbers if you want him to cross and create. The card also allows him to cut inside and create shooting chances for himself, and decent finishing for himself. Two strong dribbling ST skills, so he is absolutely easy to dribble with.
With the Cross Specialist style, he stretches wide, and here’s where Edged Crossing would have been a nice pick. The playstyle with Edged Crossing and Acceleration Burst would be too good, but I’m sure makers are saving for another card.
This pack has clear strengths, but doesn’t feel evenly stacked. Haaland is the best pick, followed by Mitoma, which is the most exciting of the three. I rate this pack highly, as you have an easy starter card in Haaland, but the other two options could see some competition. Awaiting more powerful packs.
Pack Rating: 3 out of 5
