Pep Guardiola’s Best Formation in eFootball 2026

This third edition will discuss Pep Guardiola’s best formation settings with the Link-up Play Diagonal Long Pass B version.

Surely those of you who are eFootball players are certainly familiar with the name of this coach, right?

However, it seems People rarely use this manager considering that the Possession Game playing style doesn’t seem to be very popular in eFootball at the moment, especially for those of you who often play PvP Rank Division.

This was also conveyed by one of the eFootball Gaming YouTubers with almost 60 thousand subscribers named Trivela Game.

He said that Pep Guardiola is a famous icon in modern football, but when Konami released this manager in their game, pro players, YouTubers and people in the eFootball community group were completely less hyped about the release of Pep Guardiola’s manager.

One of the reasons is that the Possession Game is no longer relevant to use considering that eFootball now demands high intensity play.

So what about the people who have already bought and have Pep Guardiola on their team?

Don’t worry, friends, that’s why I wrote this article to provide a few recommendations in the form of using Pep Guardiola’s best formation in eFootball 2026.

See the complete discussion below.

This 4-2-1-3 Out Wide formation will be very suitable to use when you face an opposing team who likes to play Low Block.

The wing will be one of the main axes in carrying out attacks. The placement of wingers and attacking full-backs will give you many options for attacking via crossing.

Apart from that, this tactic of spreading to the sides will also allow you to play attacking patterns using the switch play method effectively later. This is because there are several wingers who are placed in areas far from the wide side.

The presence of 2 midfielders in the middle such as CMF and DMF will also give you tight compactness in the middle so that your middle area is protected from counter transitions made by the opponent.

Even so, you also need to always anticipate the AMF which can sometimes be late in coming down so this will result in the central space being short of midfielders when defending.

To optimize this formation, try to place the players accordingly role players below:

• GK position type Attacking GK
• The right CB position is type Build/The Destroyer
• Type left CB position The Destroyer/Build
• Type RB position Attack Full Back
• Type LB position Attack Full Back
• DMF position type Human Anchor/orchestra
• The right CMF position is type Orchestra/Box-to-Box
• AMF position type Hole Player/Dummy Runner
• LWF position type Creative Playmaker
• RWF position type Cruising Side
• Type CF position Target Hunter/Target Man

Pep Guardiola’s Best Link-up Play Formation (4-2-1-3 Out Wide) in eFootball 2026

To activate Pep Guardiola’s Link-up Play, make sure you have placed one of the players LWF type Creative Playmaker as well as players R.B type Attacking Full-back. That way, Link-up Play can be activated.

Therefore, it is very important for you to follow as much as possible the recommended player roles that I have given above. So you just need to activate Link-up Play in Pep Guardiola’s formation.

So, I will first explain the game scheme of Pep Guardiola’s Link-up Play in eFootball 2026.

Pep Guardiola has a game scheme with a type of Link-up Play called Diagonal Long Pass B.

The scheme is that the player in the role of Key Man will move quickly forward if the player in the Centrepiece role is holding or carrying the ball in the middle (middle third).

The Key Man will move forward to anticipate the ball which will be given via a breakthrough or diagonal pass from the Centrepiece.

Therefore you need a Centerpiece that has playing style ‘Creative Playmaker’ with the position of LWF and requires a Key Man with players who have it playing style ‘Attacking Full-back’ in the position of RB.

If all of these things are fulfilled then you can activate Pep Guardiola’s Link-up Play into this 4-2-1-3 Formation.

By using this 4-2-1-3 Possession Game pattern, later you will be even more solid in building attacks from below and have many creative options for carrying out attack combinations up front.
