The 1992 USA Basketball Dream was first Olympic team to feature active NBA players. It was widely regarded as the greatest basketball team ever assembled composed mostly of the greatest basketball players at that time such as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. In Genesis League Goals, it's also possible to create a team of the best and the brightest. Let's see how much it will cost.
Forward
The forward position is closest to the opponent's goal. We would look for cards with high stats on dribbling and shooting. With a high dribbling stat he can get closer to the goal and with high shooting, his chance to score is higher. Here are some gold foil cards that has great stats. We need two forwards so we can choose two among these.
The first has perfect stats on offense but not so much on defense. If you want players with defensive stats then the second and third are good picks. It helps if they can also intercept the ball from the opponent's goalkeeper. It would cost $21 if we pick the second and third cards.
Midfielder
For midfielder, we want cards with high defensive skills like intercept. We also want a high passing stats so that he can successfully pass the ball to our forward and high dribbling stats to get closer to his target.
The above cards are good choices. I'd lean on the first and second cards both having high defensive, dribbling and passing stats. Cost of both is $32.50. The fourth card has great defensive and passing stats but his dribbling is atrocious.
Defender
Similar to the midfielder, we want cards with high defensive, dribbling and passing stats.
For the same reasons with the midfielders, I'd pick the first and second cards. Cost is $19.50
Goalkeeper
Goalkeepers need high stats primarily on blocking. It would also help if his passing stats are high. With this in mind, I'd pick the second or sixth card. If the second, cost is $9.
Coach
The coach is similar to summoners in Splinterlands. The cards in the market do not show the buffs the coach gives so I'd assume the most expensive card is the best.
Other costs
We need a franchise to start the game, similar to spellbook in Splinterlands. The cheapest is $13. We also need some substitutes and let's say we spend another $30 for them.
Total cost
So if you want to build a dream team in Genesis League Goals, it would cost around $150. Keep in mind that these are all gold foils but not yet combined.
