Efootball Server Maintenance
The eFootball servers have officially gone under maintenance today, October 23, 2025, and if you’ve tried hopping onto Dream Team this morning, you probably ran into that familiar maintenance message. Yep, Konami’s at it again. But before frustration kicks in, there’s a good reason behind the pause: update patch v5.1.1 is rolling out, and along with it comes a fresh batch of Player of the Week (POTW) stars set to spice up our squads right after the downtime ends.
What’s Happening During Maintenance?
During this time, all online game modes, matchmaking, and transfers are suspended. Offline practice? That’s still your friend.
What makes this update special isn’t just stability improvements. The v5.1.1 patch brings under-the-hood performance tweaks that should reduce the pesky lag some players have been complaining about since the last update. One can hope, right?
And yes, if you’ve been grinding with that same old tactical preset, now’s your chance to revisit it. A new set of manager parameters is rumored too. These small updates often build up to the bigger seasonal events, so this one’s definitely worth the wait.
The Exciting Bit: POTW “Worldwide 23 Oct ’25”
This week’s Player of the Week selection has fans buzzing on X (formerly Twitter). The cryptic tease from Konami “Can you guess who they are?” was all it took for the community to start guessing lineups like detectives in football kits.
Predictions floating around include names like:
-
Rafael Leão (AC Milan) – blistering speed, counter-attack specialist.
-
Mason Greenwood (Marseille) – that deadly right foot as a super-sub.
-
Ronald Araújo (Barcelona) – because we all need a rock at the back.
-
Harry Maguire (Manchester United) – surprisingly strong aerial dominance card.
These predicted cards are rumored to range between 95 and 97 overall ratings, with unique skills that align with their real-life performances this week. And honestly, a Leão card with first-time shot ability? That’s something players are already clearing GP space for.
What to Expect After the Update Ends
Once maintenance wraps up, you’ll notice a few subtle but welcome changes. The menus feel smoother, animations are more fluid, and connection stability looks to be prioritized this round. Those who play eFootball Mobile can expect a slightly bigger download, roughly around 1.6 GB, depending on your device.
If you’re logging in later today, here’s what’s waiting:
-
Fresh POTW Worldwide pack drop
-
Minor bug fixes and balance adjustments
-
Server backend optimization (less invisible lag on passes, fingers crossed)
By the way, European users usually report servers returning a little earlier than Asia, so if you’re refreshing at exactly 1:30 PM IST and still see “under maintenance,” just grab a coffee it’ll be live soon enough.
