Verdict

The call

Lonely One and eFootball™ CHAMPION SQUADS both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of Lonely One's written reviews are positive against 58% of eFootball™ CHAMPION SQUADS's. Lonely One also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.0). eFootball™ CHAMPION SQUADS's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 82).
