What Are Team-Year Cards?
Team-Year cards are the core roster pieces in Soccer Card Draft by ForExampleNothing. Each card represents a real footballer tied to a specific national team and World Cup or tournament year — for example Brazil 2002 or France 2018. When you draft a nation, all subsequent rolls pull from that country's Team-Year pools.
How Team-Years Connect to Drafting
Your draft pick locks the nation for a run. Rolling then generates players from available years for that nation. Strong nations with deep year spreads produce higher average OVR — see country teams before committing rerolls from codes.
Year Tier Framework
| Tier | Year Profile | Draft Value |
|---|---|---|
| S | Legendary World Cup winning squads | Chase for cup meta |
| A | Deep semifinal-era rosters | Stable F2P ceiling |
| B | One-star star + weak depth | Situational |
| C | Thin historical pools | Avoid unless meme run |
Rolling Team-Year Cards
Roll outcomes depend on Luck upgrades — luck guide — and the years you prioritize. Some eras within the same nation differ by 10+ OVR at the same position. Use the OVR calculator after every major pull.
Team-Year vs. Captain Cards
Team-Years fill standard lineup slots. Captain Cards are separate premium pulls from packs with leadership bonuses. You need both systems for top cup brackets.
Collection and Index Progress
Many players chase full year sets for index completion rewards. Track progress in the draft planner and cross-reference tier list for priority targets.
