Build A Soccer Squad Players Database
A guide to the 1,000+ players in Build A Soccer Squad: how the collection is structured, how to find specific footballers, and which cards to prioritize.
With over 1,000 footballers spanning 1970 to today, the Build A Soccer Squad collection is huge — and knowing how it is organized is the first step to building efficiently. This database guide explains how players are categorized, how to find the ones you want, and which cards deserve your currency first.
How the collection is structured
Every card in the game is a footballer with an OVR rating, a position, and links (nation and league) that drive chemistry. Players come from across eras — historical legends from the 1970s through to today’s biggest stars — and are grouped into teams, including 2026 squads and premium Legend teams.
Cards reach your collection through four routes:
- Packs (rolls) — random pulls from the cards you have unlocked.
- The daily shop — rotating team and player offers.
- The hourly shop — around 20 100+ OVR Prime players.
- Quests — completing a quest unlocks that player as a rare rolled variant.
Finding a specific player
Because the pool is so large, finding one footballer takes a little strategy:
- Check the shops first. The daily and hourly shops are the most direct way to acquire a known player.
- Look for quests. If a quest is tied to the player you want, completing it unlocks them.
- Roll within the right team. Many cards are pulled from the teams you have unlocked, so owning the relevant squad improves your odds.
- Track your collection. Use the in-game collection screen to see exactly which players you still need for a squad.
The most valuable cards
Some cards are worth far more than their rarity suggests. Prioritize in this order:
- 99 OVR captains — earned by completing squads. See captains.
- 100+ OVR Prime players — from the hourly shop. See Prime players.
- High-OVR stars and legends that fit your formation. See best players.
- Chemistry-completing cards — mid-rated players who finish nation/league links.
Build around your collection
The smartest players do not chase every card — they build around what they already own. Audit your collection, find the squad you are closest to completing, and funnel currency there to unlock a captain. Fill the gaps with high-OVR cards that keep your chemistry intact.
Spend efficiently while you collect
A big collection is built on a healthy economy. Pair this database with:
