Binder and search
Last updated Sep 12, 2026
Binder
Binder is every card in your collection, on one shelf, in the order EA's own binder pages came back in.
Filters compose: inside one facet the options add up, across facets they narrow.
| Filter | What it does |
|---|---|
| Search | Matches a name, a position, a program or a club abbreviation |
| Position | QB, HB, FB, WR, TE, OL, DL, LB, DB, ST — specialist slots land in the family they play in |
| Program | Any program in your binder |
| Team | Any club in your binder — this is what a Chemistry row links to |
| State | In lineup, Auctionable, Bound, Locked, Protected |
| Kind | Players, Coaches, Playbooks, Stadiums, Uniforms, Collectibles |
| OVR | A range |
| Sort | EA order, Overall, Name, Program, Team, Acquired, Market median |
Every filter and the open card are in the address bar, so a view is something you can send to somebody. A big binder loads the first page and offers Show more rather than mounting hundreds of cards at once.
The card detail here is the same panel My Team opens, with the same 55 ratings, the same Plays at list and the same chemistry — a card that looked one way in the binder and another in the lineup would be two products. Left and right arrows walk the shelf while it is open.
Coach markers sit on the cards here too, and Protect this card is one click from the tile. A protected card never receives auction advice.
Search
⌘K on a Mac, Ctrl+K everywhere else. The same box opens from the magnifier in the header.
It searches seven things at once:
- Cards — every card you own, with its art, its state chips and its coach marker.
- Lineup slots — all 35, each showing its starter and rating, or Empty — gap in your lineup.
- Position filters — the ten binder families, with how many cards you hold in each.
- Programs and Teams, both drawn from your own binder.
- Pages — My Team, Binder, Market, Insights, Settings.
- Actions — Sync my team, Analyze my team, jump to a Settings section, or Find a replacement at RLE for any slot that is empty.
"WR" deliberately returns two different things: the *slot* on your lineup, and *every receiver* in your binder. They are separate rows because they are separate questions.
Arrow keys move, Enter opens, Tab cycles between groups. On a wide screen the right-hand side previews what Enter will do, in words, before you press it.
