eFootball POTW UCL 17 Sep: Yamal, Haaland & Best Picks

The first POTW European Club Championship pack of the 2026/27 season is now live in eFootball, and it brings two of the biggest names in the game into the same weekly selection: Lamine Yamal and Erling Haaland.

Konami officially labels the pack POTW European Club Championship, while many players simply refer to it as the UCL POTW because it is tied to European club competition performances. The September 17 release contains 11 Trending cards and arrives immediately after weekly maintenance, making it one of the most relevant short-term packs for players building competitive Dream Teams.

Live card data shows a lineup built around elite attackers, but the pack also includes useful options at goalkeeper, center-back and midfield. Here is the full lineup, the standout cards and which players are the most interesting pulls.

POTW European Club Championship 17 Sep lineup

The live September 17 pack contains:

• Lamine Yamal

• Erling Haaland

• Diogo Costa

• Ferran Torres

• Serhou Guirassy

• Alexis Mac Allister

• Brahim Díaz

• Ezri Konsa

• Youri Tielemans

• Pau Torres

• Marc Bartra

This is the actual live selection after the September 17 maintenance, not the prediction lists that circulated before the pack released.

That distinction matters because several pre-release predictions included different players. For roster planning, only the live in-game lineup should be treated as final.

Lamine Yamal is the headline winger

Lamine Yamal is one of the two obvious headline cards.

His value comes from the profile eFootball players already associate with his strongest cards: quick changes of direction, close control and the ability to carry the ball from wide areas into dangerous central spaces.

For players who rely on a technical RWF or wide creator, Yamal is the card most likely to fit without requiring a major tactical change.

He is especially useful in teams that already have a physical center-forward. Instead of asking Yamal to be the main scorer, he can attack from the right, draw defenders and create the final pass or shooting angle.

Players who already own a strong Show Time, Big Time or other premium Yamal should compare versions carefully. A POTW card can be immediately useful, but it does not automatically replace every older premium version.

Haaland remains the direct goal threat

Erling Haaland gives the pack a completely different type of attacker.

Where Yamal is about control and movement in wide areas, Haaland gives players a powerful central target who can attack space, finish quickly and handle physical contact.

For squads that create chances through vertical passes, early crosses or direct transitions, Haaland is one of the easiest cards in the pack to understand. Put him near goal and build the attack around getting him the ball in high-value areas.

His biggest appeal is role clarity. He does not need to dominate possession to influence a match.

The important comparison is with your existing Haaland. eFootball has released multiple strong versions of him, including premium cards with higher ceilings. If your account already has a top-tier Haaland, this POTW version may be depth rather than a guaranteed starter.

Serhou Guirassy is more than a consolation pull

Serhou Guirassy is one of the best secondary attackers in the pack.

Live card data lists him as a 95 OVR CF with a 97 maximum overall, using the Fox in the Box attacking style. His profile includes 85 Offensive Awareness, 85 Finishing, 88 Kicking Power, 85 Speed and 85 Physical Contact.

He also has useful striker skills including First Time Shot, Heading, Long-range Shooting, Acrobatic Finishing and Aerial Superiority.

That combination makes Guirassy a very practical center-forward. He is not as headline-grabbing as Haaland, but players who need a physical striker can still get real value from pulling him.

For accounts without a premium CF, Guirassy is one of the cards that can immediately enter the squad.

Diogo Costa is a strong goalkeeper pull

Diogo Costa gives the pack a useful goalkeeper option.

His live card is listed at 95 OVR with a 97 maximum overall. Key goalkeeper values include 88 GK Awareness, 85 Catching, 88 Parrying, 89 Reflexes and 90 Reach.

He also comes with GK Low Punt, GK High Punt, GK Long Throw and GK Penalty Saver.

Costa uses an Attacking GK profile, making him better suited to players who are comfortable with a goalkeeper positioned more aggressively behind the defensive line.

Goalkeepers can be less exciting than attackers in a POTW draw, but Costa is not a wasted pull. For accounts still using a weaker standard keeper, this card can be an immediate upgrade.

Ezri Konsa adds speed and defensive engagement

Ezri Konsa is one of the most interesting defensive cards in the selection.

His card reaches a 96 maximum overall and combines 87 Defensive Awareness, 87 Tackling, 86 Aggression and 91 Defensive Engagement with 86 Speed and 86 Physical Contact.

That speed-to-defending combination is particularly useful in eFootball, where center-backs can be exposed when defending transitions.

Konsa also carries important defensive skills including Man Marking, Interception, Blocker, Aerial Superiority and Sliding Tackle.

He is not the biggest name in the pack, but for players who need a faster CB with solid defensive coverage, he may be more useful than his headline value suggests.

Marc Bartra is the more technical defensive alternative

Marc Bartra offers a different center-back profile.

His live POTW card is listed at 93 OVR and 95 maximum overall, with 87 Defensive Awareness, 87 Tackling, 89 Defensive Engagement, 84 Speed and 83 Physical Contact.

He also has One Touch Pass and Weighted Pass alongside Interception, Blocker, Aerial Superiority and Acrobatic Clearance.

The Extra Frontman style means he will not behave exactly like a conservative Build Up CB. That can be useful in aggressive systems but may be less comfortable for players who want both center-backs to hold position.

Bartra is therefore more system-dependent than Konsa.

What about Ferran Torres, Mac Allister, Brahim and Tielemans?

The midfield and attacking depth of the pack is also important.

Ferran Torres gives another wide or forward option, while Brahim Díaz provides a more technical attacking profile.

Alexis Mac Allister and Youri Tielemans give the selection central midfield variety rather than forcing every draw toward attackers.

These cards are most valuable when they fill a specific roster gap. Players with established Epic or Show Time midfields may see them as rotation pieces, while newer accounts can get much more immediate use from them.

POTW value always depends partly on what the account already owns.

Best pulls from the pack

For most accounts, the clear first targets are Lamine Yamal and Erling Haaland because they combine star power with immediately useful attacking roles.

After them, Serhou Guirassy is one of the strongest practical alternatives for players needing a CF, while Diogo Costa is a useful goalkeeper upgrade and Ezri Konsa stands out among the defenders.

That does not mean every other card is weak. The important question is whether a pull improves your current squad.

A newer account may get value from almost the entire pack. A high-end account filled with Epics, Big Time cards and premium Show Time players should be much more selective.

Should you spend on this POTW?

This pack is attractive because it has two major headline attackers and enough useful depth that missing the top two does not automatically mean a bad result.

However, POTW cards are still short-term weekly opportunities. Players should compare the pack against upcoming Epic or Big Time selections before committing coins, especially if they already own premium versions of Yamal or Haaland.

The best reason to pull is not simply because Yamal and Haaland are famous. It is because one or more of these cards fills a real squad need.
