Build a Soccer Player questions

How do I build a soccer player?

You build an outfield player. One spin, one real soccer star: the seven traits preview his peak, from pace and finishing to heading. Keep one trait, spin again, and complete all seven.

Can I build a goalkeeper?

No. Goalkeepers never spin. Forwards, midfielders and defenders do, and a World Cup counts as a season of its own, so a star can hand you his tournament form.

Which footballers can come up?

Any of 1,684 real footballers, with careers from 1930 to 2025, from club legends to World Cup heroes. Six of the seven traits are peak ratings held from 2004, so a star who retired before then can give only Finishing, and the spin passes him over once Finishing is taken.

How are the soccer traits measured?

Finishing is goals per 90 minutes. Pace, Passing, Dribbling, Defending, Physical and Heading are each a 0–99 rating of the player at his peak: acceleration and top speed, the range and vision of his passing, close control and agility, tackling and interceptions, strength and stamina, and how well he heads the ball.
