EFootball Leo Messi Deluxe 2026 vs. Lamine Yamal Deluxe 2026 – Which one should you buy?

EFootball v5.0.0 is now live across PC, mobiles, and consoles, and the annual update has some incredible editions on offer at launch.

As usual, the game remains free-to-play for everyone, but you can get a boost by spending on microtransactions. Out of all the available editions, the Leo Messi Deluxe 2026 and Lamine Yamal Deluxe 2026 look the most stacked in terms of content.

While you can buy both, which is the better one if you have to decide between them? Let's find out.

The main headline of this edition is Leo Messi, who appears as a double booster Epic player in eFootball. Here's a list of all the other items you get with the pack.

EFootball Lamine Yamal Deluxe 2026 Edition contents

The main headline of this edition is Lamine Yamal, who is a double booster Epic player. Here's a list of all other items you get with this pack.

  • 10 highlight players: Aleksandar Pavlović, Anatolii Trubin, António Silva, Benjamin Šeško, Dean Huijsen, Josip Stanišić, Milos Kerkez, Nico Williams, Pedri, and Warren Zaïre-Emery.
  • Strip: Lamine Yamal Edition 2026 [Deluxe]
  • Stadium Elements (Stadium Choreo): Lamine Yamal Edition '26
  • Stadium Elements (Giant Props): Lamine Yamal Golden Statue '26
  • Avatar Icon: Lamine Yamal Edition 2026 (three types)
  • Avatar Background: Lamine Yamal Edition 2026
  • 22 Exp. 4,000 Token

Which one should you pick?

Most of the items in the two bundles are cosmetics, so we can ignore those aspects. The highlight players are decent, but chances are most existing players should have better cards than the ones on offer. If you're just starting, all the players will be valuable additions to your squad.

Between the two, I would go for Yamal, and there's a simple explanation for that. Compared to the Spanish prodigy, Yamal has had far fewer special cards in eFootball. This item on offer looks absolutely terrific, and you can boost the stats further with double boosters. The Messi item in the bundle is fairly strong, but we have had some amazing cards of the Argentine in the past. That's my conclusion, but you can't go wrong with either of them.
