Xabi Alonso 23-24 vs Guardiola 13-14: The ultimate showdown

The analyses of both Manager Packs in eFootball 2024 Season 6 indicate that the Guardiola 13-14 Manager Pack is a better choice.

Some key points that helped us reach the conclusion

• While the ratings for the Possession Game ratings of the Guardiola pack and Quick Counter ratings of the Xabi Alonso pack are the same, Guardiola has a better affinity for another playstyle (Quick Counter 74), than Xabi (Possession Game 72).
• Unlike Xabi Alonso's 23–24 pack, you won't have to find and recruit young players to get the Coaching Affinity.
• Furthermore, since this is a balanced meta in eFootball, where both defensive and attacking aspects of the game have been improved, having a +1 rating in Tight Possession might help you more than a +1 rating in Acceleration.

However, since Quick Counter in eFootball is among the most popular tactics as of writing, the Xabi Alonso 23–24 Manager Pack might serve better to those who adopt that play style.
