eFootball Epic El-Hadji Diouf Build

The new epic El-Hadji Diouf is a 'goal poacher' centre forward. He also has the special skill 'Phenomenal Finishing' in his arsenal. He is strong and is decent both in the air and on the ground, as per his stats. You can use him in double striker formations along with a 'Deep-Lying Forward' or 'Hole Player'.

While the auto-allocate feature will maximise his ratings but it is not the best to play him in the goal poaching role. You can find the best build for this card below:

This build will make El-Hadji Diouf not only nimble on the ball, but also boost his passing stats that will allow you to play 1-2 passes and score bangers. He will be decent aerially, but don't expect him to win every duel against the best CBs in eFootball. For free-to-play players, he will be a reliable customer and a good addition to the dream teams.
