eFootball 2026 rolls out one of its more unusual crossovers with the Epic Worldwide Clubs ft. Naruto pack, featuring Gareth Bale, Marcelo, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The latter two are making their debut in eFootball as Epic cards.
The pack is available for a limited 14-day window, so there’s already less bit of urgency from the usual packs if you’re planning to go for it. And while the Naruto crossover adds the visual celebrations, at the end of the day, what matters is how these cards actually perform.
So the focus, as always, comes down to how good these cards are in-game, how you should build them, and whether this pack is worth your Coins or just one to admire and skip.
Gareth Bale
- Position: RWF
- Playing Style: Prolific Winger
- Show Time Skill: Magnetic Feet and Blitz Curler
Bale is one of those cards that can do a bit of everything. Pace, physicality, shooting, he’s got all of it. His skill set is pretty unique, and that’s the reason his New Year card has been one of the best cards still in the game.
Now, for the Show Time skills, Magnetic Feet is a big plus here. It helps him feel cleaner on the ball, especially when receiving at speed, which suits how Bale is usually played. Blitz Curler adds that extra threat when cutting inside, so you’re not limited to just running down the line.
Even though he’s listed as a Prolific Winger, this combination of skills works really well if you move him into a CF role. He won’t behave like a typical Goal Poacher, though. He tends to drop a bit, doesn’t constantly push the line, and plays more conservatively.
Weak foot is still the usual issue. You’ll feel restricted if you try to use him on the opposite side too much, so keeping him on the right or as a right-sided CF makes the most sense. The celebration is a good plus with him when you score, so picking him feels the best.
Suggested Skills: Double Touch, Heading, Fighting Spirit, Long-Range Curler, One Touch Pass
Suggested Booster(s): Striker’s Instinct
Suggested Progression Points Allocation for Gareth Bale
| Shooting | Passing | Dribbling | Dexterity | Lower Body Strength | Aerial Strength | Defending | GK 1/2/3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 1 | 9 | 10 | 10 | 2 | 0 | 0 |
Marcelo
- Position: LB
- Playing Style: Offensive Fullback
- Show Time Skill: Momentum Dribbling and Edged Crossing
The debutant Marcelo is a solid card at LB and LMF here, as he feels exactly how you’d expect him to. Very comfortable on the ball, very attacking, and always involved going forward, so he falls into the smooth category of fullbacks.
Dribbling is the standout here. With Momentum Dribbling, he should feel really smooth when carrying the ball at the attacking third. Even without high physical stats, he tends to hold his own because of how his player model is built.
Passing is also strong, and Edged Crossing fits well with his role. You can overlap, cut inside slightly, and still deliver good balls into the box. The downside is the weak foot. It limits what you can do when cutting inside, especially if you try to use him in more advanced roles like LMF.
Defensively, he’s decent but not someone you rely on purely for defending. This is more of an attacking fullback who helps in the buildup and carries the ball forward. So use him that way.
Suggested Skills: Heading, Weighted Pass, Track Back, Sliding Tackle, Interception
Suggested Booster(s): Agility, Crossing
Suggested Progression Points Allocation for Marcelo
| Shooting | Passing | Dribbling | Dexterity | Lower Body Strength | Aerial Strength | Defending | GK 1/2/3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 7 | 4 | 8 | 12 | 4 | 8 | 0 |
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
- Position: CF
- Playing Style: Goal Poacher
- Show Time Skill: Phenomenal Finishing and Acceleration Burst
Aubameyang is all about pace and runs. Maxed out awareness and acceleration means he’s constantly looking to break the line, and once he’s through, it’s usually a clean chance. Acceleration Burst is a fantastic ST skill addition.
On the ball, he’s decent, not amazing. You won’t be dribbling through defenders easily, but he won’t feel clunky either. Finishing is reliable, and he can use his weak foot better than most, and Phenomenal Finishing also helps.
The only real downside is kicking power. Shots from distance won’t feel strong, even if you add long-range shooting. This is a very direct striker. Release him early, and let him do the rest.
Suggested Skills: Double Touch, Long Range Shooting, One Touch Pass, Sole Control, Outside Curler
Suggested Booster(s): Striker’s Instinct, Off the Ball
Suggested Progression Points Allocation for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
| Shooting | Passing | Dribbling | Dexterity | Lower Body Strength | Aerial Strength | Defending | GK 1/2/3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | 0 | 8 | 12 | 8 | 2 | 0 | 0 |

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
