1. Select Skill Tokens give you direct control
The biggest improvement is choice. Konami says 100 Select Skill Tokens can train a player in the skill of your choice. That is more predictable than spending resources without knowing which skill will appear. It should make squad planning easier because you can save toward a specific role instead of accepting a random result.
2. Select Position Tokens target proficiency
The new Select Position Token works on Position Proficiency. Spending 100 lets you choose the position you want to train. This matters for versatile players, alternative formations and cards that have strong attributes but do not naturally cover the role your squad needs.
3. Advanced Skill Tokens are being removed
Advanced Skill Tokens will disappear from the game when v6.1.0 arrives. Konami explicitly advises players who intend to use them to do so before the update. The right decision depends on whether you value their current function or prefer the guaranteed conversion into the new system.
4. Every old token converts into 20 new tokens
The conversion rate is simple: one Advanced Skill Token becomes 20 Select Skill Tokens. Because a chosen skill costs 100 Select Skill Tokens, five converted Advanced Skill Tokens equal enough currency for one selected skill. Ten old tokens would become 200 Select Skill Tokens, enough for two chosen skills.
| Advanced Skill Tokens before update | Select Skill Tokens after conversion | Chosen skills affordable |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 20 | 0 |
| 5 | 100 | 1 |
| 10 | 200 | 2 |
| 25 | 500 | 5 |
5. Conversion is automatic
You do not need to exchange the tokens manually. Konami says the conversion happens during the v6.1.0 update. Still, take a screenshot of your current inventory before maintenance. It gives you a clear record if the post-update balance does not match the announced rate.
6. Should you spend Advanced Skill Tokens now?
Spend them before v6.1.0 only if their present use provides immediate value to a player you actively use. Otherwise, saving in multiples of five creates a clear path to selected skills after conversion. Do not spend simply because a deadline is approaching; compare the current benefit with the control offered by the new system.
7. The exact update date is still unconfirmed
Konami has announced October 2026, not a specific day. Maintenance schedules, leaks and community predictions are not official confirmation. Check the in-game News section and the official eFootball announcement before making a time-sensitive decision.

- Multiply the total by 20 to estimate your new balance.
