If you’ve ever gone up against a squad stacked with prime Maldini, Maradona or Cruyff in eFootball 2022 online matches, you know how big of an edge these iconic cards can give you. Most new players assume you have to drop hundreds of dollars on premium coins to unlock legends, but that’s not actually true. I’ve been playing eFootball daily since its launch, and I’ve unlocked 11 legends so far without spending a single cent on in-game purchases. In this post, I’ll break down exactly how to get legends in eFootball 2022 using methods that are 100% allowed by Konami, no risky hacks or exploits involved.
How to Get Legends in eFootball 2022 Through Free Weekly Login Rewards
The easiest way to earn free legends is to take advantage of Konami’s regular weekly login campaigns. The company frequently runs themed events where if you log in 7 days straight during a legend event cycle, you get a free legend spin or even a guaranteed base legend card. I got my prime Pele last year from a 2-week login event where all you had to do was log in 12 days out of 14, no matches required.
You don’t even have to play a single match to claim these rewards, just open the game once per day on your console or mobile device. These events usually align with real-world football milestones, like World Cup anniversaries or legend birthdays, so keep an eye on the in-game news tab every Monday to see what rewards are coming up.
Some login rewards give you legend selection tickets that let you pick exactly which legend you want, instead of relying on random spins. That’s perfect for players who want to fill a specific gap in their squad, like a top-tier defender or a creative attacking midfielder. These events are often underrated by new players who skip logging in on days they don’t feel like playing, but missing just one day can make you lose out on a free legend that would take you weeks to grind for otherwise.
Farm GP and Coins Through Match Modes for Legend Spin Packs
GP is the free in-game currency you earn for every match you play, whether it’s offline against AI or online against other players. A full match of Division Rivals gives you around 3,000 to 5,000 GP, depending on your performance and if you win. Legend packs usually cost between 100,000 and 150,000 GP per 10-spin, which might sound like a lot, but you can farm that in less than a week if you play 3-4 matches a day.
These are the best modes to farm GP quickly, even if you’re a new player:
- Division Rivals: The most consistent GP source, with bonus rewards for ranking up divisions and completing weekly performance missions
- Event Matches: Limited-time themed matches that often give 2x or 3x GP rewards, plus bonus items for clearing all difficulty levels
- Tour Mode: Offline mode that lets you play through fictional tournament brackets for guaranteed GP and occasional free spin tickets
Don’t waste your GP on standard player packs, save all of it for limited-time legend banner drops. Konami usually runs new legend banners every 2 weeks, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to spend your saved GP. If you’re a new player who struggles to win online matches, you can still farm GP efficiently by playing offline Tour Mode on easy difficulty. You’ll get slightly less GP per match than you would for winning online, but you can finish a full match in 10 minutes on easy, so you’ll rack up GP faster than you would losing 30-minute online matches over and over.
You don’t have to be a pro player to earn enough GP for legend packs even casual players who play 2 matches a day can save up enough for a 10-spin legend pack every 2 weeks. If you prefer to use coins, you can earn free coins by completing daily missions, like scoring 2 goals with a midfielder or winning 1 match online. I’ve saved up 2,000 free coins multiple times just by completing daily missions over 2 weeks, no real money required.
Complete Event Missions for Guaranteed Legend Rewards
Konami runs special legend-themed events every month that have mission chains with guaranteed legend cards as the final reward. These missions are usually pretty straightforward, like scoring 10 goals with Brazilian players, winning 5 matches with a full Serie A squad, or assisting 7 times with wingers. Last quarter, I got my prime Paolo Maldini from an Italian football legends event where the final mission was winning 8 online matches with at least 3 Italian players in my starting 11. It took me 3 days to finish all the missions, and I didn’t have to spend any GP or coins to get the card.
Always check the mission tab first when a new event drops, so you can adjust your squad to meet the requirements as you play regular matches, instead of having to grind missions separately. Some events also have hidden missions that aren’t listed on the main tab, like logging in during a specific legend’s birthday, so it’s worth checking community forums every few days to see if anyone has found extra rewards you can claim.
Some event missions also give you legend training items that let you level up your legend’s stats faster than regular training items. For example, when I got my Maldini card, the event also gave me 10 special legend training kits that let me max out his defending and speed stats in one go, instead of having to grind for regular training items over 2 weeks. If you’re short on time, prioritize missions that give you permanent legend rewards first, then work on missions that give you training items or GP later. Most event legend rewards are permanent additions to your squad, but some are loan cards that expire after 30 days, so always read the reward description carefully so you know what you’re earning.
Avoid Scams That Claim to Give Free eFootball 2022 Legends
If you’ve searched for ways to get legends in eFootball 2022 before, you’ve probably seen dozens of websites and social media posts claiming to give you unlimited free legends or coins with a simple “generator” tool. I’ve tested a few of these out of curiosity, and none of them work. All they do is ask for your game account login details, then either steal your account or flood you with spam ads.
Konami never gives out free legends through third-party websites, so any offer that asks you to click a link outside of the official game or Konami website is a scam. Also avoid players who offer to trade legend cards with you in-game, there’s no official trading system in eFootball 2022, so anyone who says they can send you a legend card in exchange for coins or personal information is trying to rip you off.
Another common scam I see is people selling eFootball 2022 accounts with pre-unlocked legends for cheap on social media. Even if the account looks legitimate, Konami bans accounts that are bought or sold, so you could lose access to the account a few days after you buy it, with no way to get your money back. It’s always better to unlock legends yourself using the methods in this post, so you know your account is safe and you don’t risk losing all your progress. If an offer for free legends sounds too good to be true, it almost always is, so stick to official in-game rewards to avoid getting scammed.
Getting a strong squad of legends doesn’t have to cost you a fortune, or take hundreds of hours of grinding if you know what you’re doing. By checking in for login rewards, saving your GP for legend banners, completing event missions, and staying away from scams, you can build a squad of your favorite iconic players without spending a cent. I’ve used all these methods myself to build a squad that competes in the top 10% of Division Rivals, and I still get new legends every 2-3 months on average.
