Master eFootball Attacking: Score More Goals with These Pro Techniques

Struggling to score goals in eFootball? You're not alone. With the right attacking strategies, positioning, and timing, you can transform your offensive game and dominate matches. This comprehensive guide covers everything from basic shooting mechanics to advanced attacking patterns used by top players.

🎯 1. Master Your Shooting Mechanics

Power vs. Placement

  • Low Power (25-50%): Use for close-range finesse shots and chips over the goalkeeper
  • Medium Power (50-75%): Perfect for shots from edge of the box with good placement
  • High Power (75-100%): Long-range shots and when you need to beat the keeper's reactions

Shot Types and When to Use Them

  • Finesse Shot: Curl the ball around defenders and goalkeepers - ideal for far post shots
  • Rising Shot: Perfect for long-range attempts when you have space
  • Controlled Shot: Best accuracy for one-on-one situations
  • First-Time Shot: Catch defenders off guard with quick strikes

⚽ 2. Advanced Attacking Patterns

The Cutback Master Class

One of the most effective attacking patterns in eFootball 2025. Drive down the wings, cut back to the penalty spot, and finish with your striker or attacking midfielder.

Pro Tip: Use wingers with high Crossing and Dribbling stats. Look for players like Vinicius Jr., Mbappe, or Mohamed Salah for maximum effectiveness.

Through Ball Timing

  • Watch defender positioning - strike when they're flat-footed
  • Use "Manual" through balls for precise placement
  • Time your striker's run with L1/LB for perfect timing
  • Best execution: when your playmaker has space and time

🧠 3. Mental Game & Decision Making

Reading the Goalkeeper

Keeper Near Post

Aim far post or chip over for easy goals

Keeper Central

Use finesse shots to either corner

Patience vs. Aggression

The best attackers know when to slow down play and when to accelerate. Against high defensive lines, quick passing and runs work best. Against deep defenses, patient build-up and switching flanks opens up opportunities.

4-2-3-1 Formation

Utilize your CAM for through balls and late runs into the box. Perfect for possession-based attacking.

3-5-2 Formation

Your wing-backs are crucial. Use them for overlapping runs while your two strikers create space for each other.
