Build A Soccer Squad Card Types, Explained
Build A Soccer Squad card types split across two separate axes: how you earn a card, and whether it breaks past the normal rating ceiling. Mixing those up is where most confusion about card tiers comes from.
Axis One: How You Earn a Card
Most Build A Soccer Squad cards come from spending a Reroll on a pack pull with no special prefix — these are what the game's own data calls "standard" cards.
The four other categories below are earned a specific way rather than pulled randomly.
| Card Type | OVR | How to Get It |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Varies | Random pack pull via Reroll |
| Captain | 99 | Complete a full 2026 squad |
| Premium Captain | 99 | Complete a select 2002 World Cup squad |
| Prime | 100+ | Buy from the Hourly Shop (20 players rotate per cycle) |
| Cup Card | 105+ | Win 5 Cup Mode tournaments |
The 105+ OVR on Cup cards comes from Game Rant, and community guides put the Cup requirement at five tournament wins. The 99 OVR Captain rating and the standard/Premium split come from community guides, while PCGamesN ties the unlock to select teams from 2002 onward. The Captains and Cup Mode pages lay out each unlock path with its source attached.
Axis Two: Ceiling-Breaking Labels
Limitbreaker, GB, and SB are a separate label layered on top of a card, not a replacement for the categories above.
Limitbreaker cards are special player cards that exceed the game's normal overall-rating ceilings. The 2026-07-10 update added 10 new Limitbreaker cards alongside new Breakout card rewards and the LIMITBREAKER code, and the update notes live on the Roblox game page as of 2026-07-25 add 3 more.
GB and SB cards are a real card category. The official update notes on 2026-07-10 read "3 New GB and 2 New SB Cards", in the same patch as the Limitbreaker cards, and GB-prefixed players still show up in the card lists Pro Game Guides publishes.
See the full Limitbreaker cards guide for the breakdown of these two prefixes.
Why the Category Matters More Than the Number
A Limitbreaker or GB/SB label can push a card's OVR above a Prime or even a Cup Card, since it's breaking the normal ceiling rather than competing within it.
Ranking cards by raw OVR alone (as our tier list does) can put a ceiling-breaking card above a Captain or Cup Card, despite completely different unlock paths.
For squad planning, the acquisition method still matters more than the label. A guaranteed Captain from a completed squad is more reliable than hoping a rare Limitbreaker pull lands, even if the Limitbreaker card would rate higher on paper.
Which Card Type to Chase First
Pick the route that matches the resources you have right now. Prime cards (100+ OVR) are bought from the Hourly Shop, where 20 players rotate per cycle, so they are the most direct way to raise a squad's ceiling without relying on luck. Captains reward a focused collection goal — finish a squad rather than rolling at random.
Cup cards need a lineup that can already compete in Cup Mode (a 93 OVR average to enter, 100+ to go deep). Limitbreaker, GB and SB cards arrive with updates, usually alongside a new code, so redeem the code first and check the Update Log. For all of them, stockpiled Rerolls and Refreshes decide how many attempts you get, so redeem every active code on the codes page before a big push.
