What are we all collecting next season ?

[Peakster]

Yes - I know we still have the WC to wade through and the current EPL season hasn't quite finished but it would be interesting to hear what people are going to be looking out for next season.

Personally - I'll definitely be collecting

EFL Stickers
WSL Stickers
EPL Stickers
WWC 2027 Stickers

I may collect the CL Stickers and I'll probably get some of the EPL cards after the initial rush has died down.

I won't be going for any of the FIFA 365 collections and I'll give the MA collections a miss because there are so many add-ons now it's just too frustrating and uneconomic to bother with them these days.

I daresay something else will come along that takes my fancy but those are my plans at present.

What else are we thinking about going for come August/September ?

 

[Phil7]

Well for what I hope to collect for 2026/27 seasons just about finished the WC2026 ,I hope to collect

PANINI COPA LIBERTADORES
TOPPS CHAMPIONS LEAGUE STICKERS 26/27
PANINI FIFA 365 STICKERS 26
PANINI EPL STICKERS 26/27
PANINI EPL CARDS 26/27 ?
The Copa Libertadores I have been collecting from 2023 But I just buy a complete set for the rest I have been collecting for a long time as for example
i have all the fifa 365 sticker albums but as PEAKSTER said I do not collect MA as it is just to hard to finish and Ido not know about EPL card this year
as looks that it could be expensive to do as for last years EPL cards I just done the basic set .

 

[Pillman]

For the 26-27 season I'm thinking about the following,in no particular order - only stickers

Superliga Romania
Bundesliga - will most likely buy a complete set because the past albums were just mediocre and didn't want to open packs etc
Champions League
Premier League
EFL 25-26 - this doesn't count buuut since the collection is too big I'm hoping Panini will release a complete set after the 26-27 collection launches so I can have it
Calciatori 25-26 - pretty much the same as EFL but the problem for me with Calci is that there's too many extras so I just buy a complete set to not bother with that
Maybe I will collect FIFA 365,even though I haven't collected the 2025 & this year's collection,will probably end up buying complete sets for them at some point
Maybe I will collect WWC,still need to get a full set for the 2023 album

There are so many older albums I'd like to have but I've accepted that collecting all of them is pretty much impossible,unless I become filthy rich that is haha

 

[StickazMan]

Wow, people, think I already asked this but I get no one wants to go into details, but I can only imagine your annual spend on stickers. I am planning to go for:

Champions League Topps
Premier League Topps
Bundesliga Topps

Potentially La Liga, if only as there is nothing much to go for in September - October and despite the fact I do not like the fact that newcomers are at the back in a Fichajes section and I can only hope the Commemorativos are not a yearly feature.

 

[alex1992alex]

Strictly FIFA 365 2027
Uefa Champions League 2026-2027
Superliga Romania 2026-2027
and maybe Women World Cup 2027 if it will have hardcover version.

 

[Peakster]

I just bought a set of the 2023 WWC stickers for about £60.

I haven't stuck them in yet.

 

[GStephens]

For me I will be avoiding all FIFA 365 again. I've only ever done 1 set which was Adrenalyn, the design of the normal cards was meh but I liked the limited. They were impossible to get them all though which is irritating so I never went back.

The Topps EPL stickers were very good and affordable so I will do those again. The Panini EFL set was the highlight of the year, absolutely excellent and I will go for that too.

I decided to collect the Topps UCL stickers by swapping doubles from other sets and I do quite like them so if distribution is better next year I might do those too.

I got wrapped up in the Topps EPL cards a bit and quite liked them. There's definitely a good way of doing them and I'll be doing that. I certainly won't bother with the Chrome EPL cards as they are a beautiful waste of money.

I'm sure something else will jump out to surprise us all too.

 

[LFC1892]

I will be jibbing Topps and their MA and maybe even their outdated squad PL release. I will get a set of all the LFC players and that's it. Had enough of all the bollocks rare, ultra rare and exclusive limited editions from 70924 products they release.

IF Panini AXL FIFA365 is released without many teams in generic shirts then I might consider it. If not I will be ditching this old girlfriend of 11 years. Again I will get a full set of LFC players and done.

As for stickers, this will come down to how good the designs are for both topps cl and fifa365. Otherwise, am saving my dosh.

 

[Peakster]

I'll save money by bundle collecting from ebay and filling in the gaps from other sources as I've done for some time now.

The only sets that I can see myself collecting from packets are the EPL and EFL collections.

I collected the FIFA 365 Adrenalyn set last year - but it was a frustrating and somewhat costly endeavour and I won't be doing it again.

The start of next season looks like a very quiet collecting period for me at least.

 

[Gto]

Probably only bother with EFL & EPL, may do the Champions League. Won't bother with any of the card sets ever again. In all honesty I'm rapidly losing interest in sticker/cards, huge sets, 9 billion parallels and poor quality on some doesn't exactly excite me.

Will sell most of the loose sets & empty albums I have left, and try and replace all the complete albums I sold a few years back.

 

[CS24]

Do we know how long the EFL Panini partnership is for? I loved the collection barring the album quality and now my club Burnley is back in the EFL I’ll aim for whatever cards are available too. But I just don’t want to set expectations if the deal is not a long term one

 

[Peakster]

It's a good few years I think - my team (Cambridge United) will be in League One next year so won't be on the very small stickers that the League Two clubs had in last season's collection.

It will be the highlight of next seasons collections for me when it comes out.

I am disappointed that Panini are only (so far at least) producing cards in Hobby Boxes, which I don't "do".

But at least we have something for the EFL now, which we did not have for a long time.

 

[CS24]

Hopefully they do an Adrenalyn style one next season, they were capable to do it with 48 teams so reduce the number of cards per team to 6/9, and it’s great

 

[gibson]

Hopefully they have the EFL collection next season. I personally don't support any club in the divisions, other than EPL, but i honestly enjoy collecting the EFL stickers more, as I just feel the PL collections are just downgrading, they are overthinking what to do with the collections.
So I will probably go for the UCL and EFL, but hopefully they somehow redeem themselves in the EPL so I might go for it if it is better or improved, but I doubt it. Panini did better with the PL than Topps are at the moment.

 

[Suisse]

I wait for World Cup 2030 the last

 

[Pillman]

I wait for World Cup 2030 the last

You will not collect the ones made by Topps then ? Even if they're decent or better than Panini's ?

 

[Suisse]

2034 Topps , yes too

 

[Alanbee]

Does anyone know if there will be a EFL 26/27 sticker collection, and if there is when is it released.

 

[GStephens]

Yes, the first sticker is already released. It’s the Robbie Williams limited edition, obviously not an album sticker but it has 2026/27 on the back.

I expect it to be a similar time to last year with all the updated squads.

 

[rickyshark98]

I'll probably be collecting the Champions League stickers
