eFootball Epic Phillip Cocu Released: Know His Stats and Best Build

eFootball has released a new legend in the game. The former FC Barcelona legend, Phillip Cocu, has arrived with the 30th anniversary theme. From what can be seen initially, the eFootball epic Phillip Cocu card is going to compete for a position in the list of best DMFs.

This is the first-ever eFootball card of Phillip Cocou. The Dutchman played for Catalan giants for six seasons from 1998 to 2004. Cocu also became the third anniversary-themed card from FC Barcelona, the most of any club in the game. Cocu has been equipped with two rare skills and one booster. If you are planning to sign him or have already signed him, then you will require the best build to fully unlock his potential. You can check eFootball Phillip Cocu's build and stats below.

eFootball Epic Phillip Cocu Released

Konami has released the eFootball epic Phillip Cocu on Monday, January 12, 2026. One of the main data miners of the game, @efootball_pes, posted the tweet on January 12, 2026, at 2:39 AM UTC.

The tweet also mentioned the official stats, ratings, playstyles, and skills of the epic Phillip Cocu. This card has arrived in the pack of ‘Epic European Midfielders’, which also includes new cards of Edgar Davids and Hidetoshi Nakata. This pack has a total of 150 players, which include epics, highlights and standard cards. Phillip Cocu is going to be a very solid and versatile DMF capable of playing in any formation.

eFootball Epic Phillip Cocu Stats

The eFootball epic Phillip Cocu can play in two primary positions, being an 'Anchor Man'. You can either use him as a CMF or DMF in a single or double pivot formation. He has decent speed, physicality, and elite levels of defensive stats. He can also give a high work rate because of his top-notch stamina. When it comes to ball treatment, he is not the most nimble, but he can fend off the opposition press for a while. He can be very good for building up play because of his peak passing abilities.

The new epic Phillip Cocu can reach a max rating of 105 under any of the 89-rated managers, provided you play him as a DMF or CMF. You can check his detailed stats below:

eFootball Epic Phillip Cocu Build

The best way to build Epic Phillip Cocu is to make him stronger on the ground and aerially compact. You can choose to drop some of his stats on ball treatment and offensive positioning. He already has a +3 default 'Balancer' booster. You can use the build here to make him one of the best DMFs in eFootball.

The best additional booster for Phillip Cocu is 'Duelling'. This will boost his stats on defensive awareness, stamina, and acceleration. This build will make him rock solid defensively like Viera. As he is an 'Anchor Man', you can easily use him in single pivot formations like 4-1-3-2, 4-1-2-3, and more. If you are looking for a defensive workhorse, he is the one. The only downvotes for his card are his low stats on speed, which will make him vulnerable against flashy forwards like Mbappe, Owen, and Eto'o.

Should you sign the new Epic Phillip Cocu?

The answer to this question depends on what your dream team currently has. If you already have a Patrick Viera, Rodri, or Claude Makalele, then this Epic Phillip Cocu is only going to warm the bench. However, if you are only playing with a POTW or nominating contract DMF cards, then you can target Phillip Cocu as he will definitely make it into your starting XI.
