How is squad OVR calculated?
It is the plain average of the base ratings of the eleven cards you have picked. Nothing is weighted by position and nothing hidden is added, so the number is reproducible by hand.

The most commonly used shape. Needs three central midfielders and both wingers.
FAQ
Squad builder FAQ
Why is the chemistry rating a range instead of one number?
Because the size of the bonus has never been published. The only evidence is official art showing three fully matched cards at +14, +16 and +17 above their base ratings, so the projection spans that band. For a partial match nothing is projected at all — there is no evidence for what a 7-of-11 squad pays, and guessing it would be inventing a formula.
What is my chemistry-boosted OVR?
Once all eleven of your picks share a category, the builder projects it as a range. The projection comes from the only public evidence available — three cards in official art displayed 14 to 17 points above their Collection ratings. It is a projection from three data points, not a published formula, and the builder says so.
Why can I pick a card at a position it is not listed for?
The in-game position label cycles through the positions a card can play, and a single capture cannot catch every value. So the position list on each card is a floor rather than a complete set. Unticking the filter lets you use a card the data has not yet seen at that position.
Can I share my squad?
Yes. Copy share link puts your formation and all eleven picks into the URL. Anyone opening it sees the same squad. Your squad is also saved in your browser automatically.
Which formation should I use?
There are 5 to choose from. 3-5-2 and 4-4-2 are the easiest to fill because midfield and striker are the deepest positions in the Collection, while full-backs and goalkeepers are the thinnest.
