Ten rounds. Each round we drop you into a legendary European squad from a random decade, and you pick a player. Whatever they were rated for that attribute becomes yours. Then we play out their career.
Ballon d'Or Builder is a free daily football game where you build the greatest footballer of all time. Across 10 rounds, you're shown a random European club and era (from the 1970s to the 2020s), and pick one of 8 real players from that squad. Whatever their rating is for that round's attribute — build, left foot, right foot, heading, defending, shooting, passing, mentality, dribbling or IQ — locks in as your player's stat.
After 10 picks, your player's nationality and youth academy are randomly revealed, you choose their position (striker, midfielder or defender), and then their career is simulated: transfers, league titles, Champions Leagues, World Cup runs, career goals and — most importantly — how many Ballon d'Ors they win, from 0 up to 10.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Napoli, Atlético Madrid, PSG, Ajax, PSV Eindhoven, Feyenoord, Porto, Sporting Lisbon, Benfica, Lyon, Marseille, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest — with squads spanning six decades from the 1970s to the 2020s.
