eFootball Epic Pepe Card Released: Should You Sign Him?

eFootball has given fans a pleasant surprise with the introduction of a brand new '30th Anniversary theme' epic card. The new legendary player is one of the fiercest defenders in the game's history. Former Real Madrid star and 3-time UEFA Champions League winner Pepe is the new legend joining eFootball. Pepe has been stacked with some great stats and skills that are sure to make him the 'wall' of your defence lines.

Despite being a new entrant, Pepe has already become a highly promising candidate for the best CB in eFootball. You can expect Pepe to be highly aggressive with his positioning, tackles and aerial duels. The newly released Pepe is going to be that no-nonsense defender for your dream team, much like his playing days. From the initial looks of it, Konami appears to have done justice to the new epic Pepe in eFootball.

eFootball Epic Pepe Card Released

In what comes as an eventful week for the fans just ahead of the Black Friday sale, eFootball took to its X (formerly Twitter) to announce the release of the new 30th Anniversary-themed legend. The information was posted on November 13, 2025, at 8:00 AM UTC.

The tweet also revealed the ratings, stats and unique skills of the new eFootball Epic Pepe card. You will be able to sign this card using eFootball coins from the European Guardians pack released today. If your dream team lacks a good defender, you can sign Pepe (ensure you have some coins saved in your account).

eFootball Epic Pepe Stats

The new eFootball epic Pepe card is equipped with the playstyle of 'Destroyer'. This means he will be highly aggressive and leave the back lines to press on the opposition's attackers. Pepe has decent stats on speed and acceleration, which is very important in the current meta. Pepe is also very dominant physically, and you will feel his presence while competing for aerial and ground duels. To add to this, his two rare skills, Long Reach Tackle and Fortress, will make him nearly impossible to get past. eFootball 30th Anniversary epic Pepe's detailed information is given below:

The stats on Pepe look no different from the recently released 30th Anniversary themed Epic Rio Ferdinand. With a height of 1.88m, Pepe is sure to command headers and also be an offensive threat with set pieces and corners. You can craft a booster like 'Defending' or 'Shutdown' on the new epic Pepe card to further boost his stats. eFootball epic Pepe card stats are given below:

eFootball Epic Pepe Build

Use this build to get the most out of the new eFootball Epic Pepe card:

The eFootball epic Pepe card is new and will perform outstandingly well for the next few weeks. If you are pushing division ranks, this card will surely come in handy in both PvP and AI mode. But the main question is, should you sign the new epic Pepe?

The answer is based on your dream team's requirements. eFootball has released plenty of good defenders for free, like Beckenbauer, Van Buren, Fabio Cannavaro, Costacurta and more. Should your dream team have Cannavaro and any 2 other free epic defenders, you can skip signing Pepe. If you are a Portugal and Real Madrid fan, then you should definitely sign him for your club and nation-based dream teams. The two pay-to-win skills are going to be most useful in the first few weeks post-release.
