Best player to choose and Tier List – Hot News

eFootball 2026 continues rewarding active players with special campaigns, and this time the spotlight is on the Show Time Worldwide Selection Contract. Unlike regular packs, where luck decides everything, this contract lets you choose one player from the pool.

With Semih Kılıçsoy, Neymar Jr, and Lee Kang-in available, each offering a very different profile, picking the right one depends heavily on your squad’s needs and playstyle. Since you only get one shot at this contract, making the wrong choice can sting.

So here’s a clear breakdown of the best player to choose and how each option ranks in the tier list.

Neymar Jr

• Position: AMF
• Playing Style: Hole Player
• Showtime Skill: Blitz Curler

A Neymar card with Blitz Curler instantly catches attention. That skill alone makes you think this could be a serious threat from the edge of the box. Well, another reason to rejoice is that he gets Hole Player, and I know, given the meta, you all play this particular playstyle.

On paper, his dribbling looks as smooth as you’d expect. Tight possession and balance are elite-tier, and speed plus acceleration can be pushed to good levels as well. If you tweak his progression properly, you can comfortably push dribbling and shooting into the strong 90s.

The catch is stamina and form. Stamina is not very high, and with the Hole Player playstyle, although being a boon, it is a stamina killer. His form being inconsistent might frustrate people. Super Sub could be the smarter way to use him.

Suggested Skills: Long Range Shooting, First Time Shot, One Touch Pass, Through Passing

Suggested Booster(s): Fantasista

Suggested Progression Points Allocation for Neymar Jr

Shooting	Passing	Dribbling	Dexterity	Lower Body Strength	Aerial Strength	Defending	GK 1/2/3
9	0	6	8	12	0	0	0

Semih Kılıçsoy

• Position: CF
• Playing Style: Goal Poacher
• Showtime Skill: Phenomenal Finishing

This is honestly a surprise kind of card. On paper, Semih looks like a very well-rounded Goal Poacher. Good pace, strong acceleration, solid physical contact, and excellent finishing. With Phenomenal Finishing, you’re boosting what is already his main strength.

He doesn’t have a weak foot issue, which is a big plus. That alone makes him feel more reliable in tight angles. He can also carry the ball decently, so he’s not just a static tap-in striker. Aerially, he won’t dominate. He feels more like an in-the-box predator rather than a cross-merchant.

The only small limitation is the kicking power sitting in the early 80s. That probably means long-range attempts won’t feel as powerful as we have experienced. I feel this is a very solid card, good ratings, but it depends on you if you want another striker amongst the big influx already in the game.

Suggested Skills: Long Range Shooting, One Touch Pass, Heel Trick, Marseille Turn

Suggested Booster(s): Striker’s Instinct

Suggested Progression Points Allocation for Semih Kılıçsoy

Shooting	Passing	Dribbling	Dexterity	Lower Body Strength	Aerial Strength	Defending	GK 1/2/3
5	0	7	10	8	5	0	0

Lee Kang-in

• Position: RWF
• Playing Style: Roaming Flank
• Showtime Skill: Phenomenal Pass

Lee Kang-In is one of those cards that might fly under the radar but actually offer a lot. Dribbling and tight possession are excellent, which surely are his strengths, and his passing numbers are strong enough to make that Phenomenal Pass skill put into good use.

Speed and acceleration are solid, so he shouldn’t feel slow on the wing. Finishing is decent too, won’t be a problem finishing, I feel. The Roaming Flank style also helps him drift inside, which suits his profile more than hugging the touchline.

Physical contact is low, but honestly, that’s the case with many successful wingers in the game. If you don’t rely on shoulder battles and instead focus on quick touches and positioning, that won’t be a major issue.

Suggested Skills: Long Range Shooting, Long Range Curler, First Time Shot, Fighting Spirit

Suggested Booster(s): Ball Carrying

Suggested Progression Points Allocation for Lee Kang-in

Shooting	Passing	Dribbling	Dexterity	Lower Body Strength	Aerial Strength	Defending	GK 1/2/3
5	3	8	10	11	0	0	0

Okay! After reviewing our three picks, here’s my final tier list of players.

Tier	Players
SSS (Overpowered)	NA
SS (Very Strong)	NA
S (Strong)	Semih Kılıçsoy, Neymar Jr, Lee Kang-in
A (Good)	NA
B (Average)	NA
C (Below Average)	NA

Honestly, all cards belong to the same tier, based on their strengths and weaknesses. I would say my personal choice would be Semih, but I already have a ton of CFs, so Lee Kang-in is a pick. Neymar is a strong card, but I feel compared to the other two, he falls a little short.
