Build A Soccer Squad Tier List: Best Players
This Build A Soccer Squad tier list ranks cards purely by the overall rating published for them — not by a subjective "meta" read. Every entry names its source. The game is still in Early Beta, so numbers are updated as new ratings are published.
How This Tier List Was Built
Every card below is ranked strictly by its confirmed overall rating (OVR), split into three tiers: S tier for 107+ OVR, A tier for 104–106 OVR, and B tier for everything below 104 — which now spans budget picks in the 80s and 90s alongside 102–103 cards. That's it — there's no separate judgment call about a card's playstyle value or meta strength layered on top. If a higher-OVR card gets confirmed later, or if Bloxheed changes rating curves in a future update, this page is revised.
Two outlets publish card numbers for this game — Pro Game Guides and All Things How. 19 of the 33 cards below appear in both outlets with the same rating for the same card, and the Listed by column names the outlet behind every card.

Sort by clicking Player or OVR, or filter by Tier/Type above — all client-side, the underlying data doesn't change.
GB and SB prefixes are the game's own card labels — see the note on what they mean below. "Type: standard" cards carry no special prefix in-game.
Check Your Own Squad Against This List
A tier list only tells you half the story — what matters is where your current Starting XI actually sits. Type in the OVR of the eleven cards you're fielding right now to get your squad average, then compare it against the tiers above to see which slots are dragging you down. This tool is pure arithmetic on the numbers you enter; it doesn't read anything from your account.
Enter at least one player's OVR to see your squad average.
Chasing a specific squad-average target instead? The Cup Mode guide covers the entry threshold and where that number is sourced from, and 100+ Rated Team walks through a full worked example.
How to Actually Get These Cards
None of the cards on this Build A Soccer Squad tier list are guaranteed pulls — they show up through the game's existing systems, and the realistic path to any of them is building toward those systems rather than chasing one specific name. The most commonly cited approach across guides is stockpiling roughly 200 Rerolls and Refreshes before making a concentrated push, since that gives you enough attempts to reasonably expect a high-OVR pull instead of gambling a handful of resources at a time.

GB and SB Cards
Several of the highest-rated cards on this list carry a GB or SB prefix — the game's own card labels, used here exactly as they appear in-game. See the Limitbreaker cards guide for the full breakdown of both prefixes.
