Maradona
If CAM is holding back your Starting XI, Maradona is worth chasing; his 99 OVR Legend card turns midfield into a real Cup push.
Players
With more than 1,000 footballer cards in the pool, chasing names can burn rolls fast. The safer pick is the player who fixes a starting XI problem: the right position, the right nation or league link, or the last card needed for a squad-completion path. If two cards look close, the one that starts in your 4-3-3 or pushes a captain unlock forward gives more progress than a higher number that stays on the bench.

When choosing Build A Soccer Squad players, compare OVR, position, chemistry links, and squad-completion value before spending rolls or shop currency.
A high-rated card changes more when it replaces the weakest starter than when it adds another bench name. A missing goalkeeper, center back, or striker can hold back the whole squad even if another position already has bigger numbers. When OVR and position pull in different directions, the card that fixes the starting spot is worth keeping first.
Nation and league links turn similar cards into very different squad results. A lower-OVR card that finishes a link can beat a higher card that breaks the shape, especially while your team is still climbing toward captain or Cup targets. When ratings are close, the card connected to more starters deserves the slot.
A card that completes a squad, opens a captain target, or adds a rare rolled variant pays twice: the team gets better now, and future rolls or unlock paths get better too. Packs can fill broad gaps, while the daily and hourly shops are better for known targets. Currency goes further on a player tied to a real collection goal than on a card that only looks impressive by itself.
The safest early keeps are cards that start in your 4-3-3, complete a squad, or preserve nation and league links. A high OVR substitute matters less than a slightly lower card that fixes a weak starting position.
No. OVR is important, but position fit and chemistry links decide whether the card improves the team you actually field.
Packs and rolls work when several positions still need upgrades. Daily shop, hourly shop, and quest-related unlocks matter more when you are chasing a known card.
