- KONAMI may introduce a squad-exchange system in eFootball 2026 for the global version.
- The feature is inspired by the SBC-style exchange system existing in the Chinese version.
Getting Epic cards has always been an exciting part of eFootball 2026, especially if you have the coins, or even better, manage to pull one for free. But a new method might be on the way to obtain top-rated Epic cards through a squad-based exchange system in eFootball 2026. Curious? Let me break down the details.
KONAMI is reportedly planning to introduce an exchange-style feature in eFootball 2026, inspired by the SBC (Squad Building Challenge) system currently available in the Chinese version of the game. However, as per the details, the global version is expected to follow a different format.
Instead of submitting individual players or small sets, the global version may require us to assemble a complete squad of 11 players to exchange them for a reward, potentially an Epic player card. Not too sure if we can pick the player of our choice or be drawn at random from a pool of players.
Of course, the exchange might not be as simple as dropping random players and then getting one. There might be conditions, say to get a Big Time Lionel Messi card, we might have to sacrifice 5 Epic cards, 2 Show Time cards, and 4 featured cards. So such decisions are easy for those who have high-rated cards to exchange.
As for a comparison, a similar system is already part of another football title, EA Sports‘ FC Mobile. Here, Player Exchange is a feature that lets players trade unwanted footballers from their club for a chance to receive new ones. Instead of discarding players, you can recycle them into potentially better rewards.
If implemented properly, this system could provide a more structured and rewarding alternative to relying purely on pack luck, especially for players sitting on many cards they no longer use. It can also be a good game mode, collect cards and exchange option that helps players spend more time on the game.
