How the Libertadores draft works
Each draw selects a club from the 32-team Libertadores field. Choose one eligible goalkeeper, defender, midfielder or forward from that club for your open position, then draw again. Three re-draws make each decision matter while the final XI can combine players from Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Bolivia and Venezuela.
The 2026 Libertadores format
The game follows the official eight-group format: four clubs per group, six home-and-away group matches, and a table that sends the top two into the Round of 16. Third place moves into the Sudamericana play-off and fourth place is eliminated. The simulation then uses two-legged Round of 16, quarter-final and semi-final ties before a neutral-site final.
FC 26 ratings and current squad pool
Player selection uses the fixed EA SPORTS FC 26 OVR snapshot for comparable drafts, paired with a current Libertadores squad pool for the 32 clubs. This keeps ratings stable for the leaderboard while allowing deeper squad names to appear beyond the headline stars.
