Build A Soccer Squad Guide: How to Play
A complete how-to-play guide for Build A Soccer Squad on Roblox: the core loop, currency, packs, chemistry, captains and a roadmap of every guide on the wiki.
New to Build A Soccer Squad? This is your starting point. It explains the core gameplay loop, every system that matters, and links out to deep guides for each topic so you always know what to do next. Think of it as the map to the whole wiki.
What kind of game is this?
Build A Soccer Squad is a football card-collection game on Roblox, currently in early beta. You are not playing matches with a controller — at least not yet. Instead you collect footballers, over 1,000 of them spanning 1970 to today, and assemble the highest-rated squad you can. A simulated 1v1 ranked mode has been announced as the next major update, which will turn your collection into a competitive team.
The core gameplay loop
Almost everything you do flows through one simple loop:
- Earn currency through daily rewards, the shop and general play.
- Open packs (called rolls) to collect new player cards.
- Build your squad by slotting the best cards into each position.
- Improve chemistry using nation and league links plus secondary positions.
- Complete squads to unlock 99 OVR captains, the best cards in the game.
- Reroll weak cards into more chances and repeat.
Master that loop and the rest is optimization. Each step has a dedicated guide below.
Currency and the shops
The Captains update added an in-game currency, a daily shop, and an hourly shop of 100+ OVR Prime players. Currency is the engine of your progress, so learning to earn and spend it well matters more than luck. Start here:
- How to get coins fast — every reliable income method.
- Best packs to open — where your currency earns the most.
- Reroll and refresh guide — when bulk actions are worth it.
Building a strong squad
A squad is more than eleven high numbers. Two systems decide your real strength:
- Chemistry rewards linking players by nation and league. A well-linked mid-rated team can outscore a random high-OVR one.
- Secondary positions let cards cover more than one slot, which helps you complete a formation and tighten links.
Our chemistry guide explains both in detail, and the players tier list shows which cards to build around.
Captains: your end goal
The biggest prize for any player is a 99 OVR captain, unlocked by completing an entire eligible 2026 squad. Captains are the reason to focus your currency on one team at a time rather than buying scattered cards. Learn the method in how to unlock captains and pick your target with the captains tier list.
Codes and free rewards
Like most Roblox games, Build A Soccer Squad will use codes for free currency. The system is not live yet, but our codes page tracks it daily and our how to redeem guide gets you ready for the first drop.
