Build A Soccer Squad sorts over 1,000 player cards into seven functional tiers. Knowing which tier your roster lives in determines whether you are ready for Cup Mode (93+ OVR) or still in the early economy phase.
The Limitbreaker tier exceeds standard card caps and is the newest end-game chase introduced in the July 2026 update.
Cup Standouts unlock as tournament rewards when you reach 5 Cup wins and are the main end-game card source for free-to-play players.
Captain cards act as chemistry wildcards for their nation and are unlocked by completing a full 11-player national collection.
Icons and Prime cards fill the 96-98 OVR bracket and are the top non-Limitbreaker cards available outside of Cup rewards.
Diamond cards live in the 90-95 OVR bracket and are the most common late-mid-game pulls.
Gold cards (80-89 OVR) establish your first OVR baseline and are common enough to fill 11 slots quickly.
Silver cards (70-79 OVR) are the high-frequency baseline cards used to populate early squads before you start upgrading.
Keep entries useful by separating source-backed facts, player-tested strategy, and update timing.
Keep rarity, obtain method, abilities, and summary tied to official posts or repeatable in-game testing.
Link tiers entries to matching builds, boss routes, and guide sections.
Keep tier values and obtain methods current after each game update.
