Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Team OVR calculated in the DLS 26 Squad Builder?
The Team OVR is automatically calculated by taking the average (mean) base or maxed Overall Ratings of all 11 players currently placed in your starting formation on the pitch. Empty slots are not counted in the division.
How does the Auto-Import Team feature work?
When you select a club or national team, the algorithm scans the entire live database and automatically slots the highest-rated players for that specific team into the correct tactical positions on the pitch, prioritizing primary positions first, followed by categorical fallbacks.
Why does the budget calculator show 0 coins for some players?
Special edition cards such as Champion, World Cup Heroes, or Dreamstars are obtained exclusively through special agents, events, or season passes. Because they cannot be bought directly with regular coins in the standard transfer market, their coin value is nullified in the budget calculator.
