How to play 38-0

Four steps from group-chat debate to simulated glory.

1

Set your strategy

Choose a league, pick Classic or Expert mode, then select a formation that fits your style.

2

Spin a squad

The wheel lands on a real club and season. Draft one player from that squad.

3

Build your XI

Fill all 11 positions by spinning new squads and picking the best fit each time.

4

Simulate 38 games

Play one decisive 38-match campaign, with every score generated from your team strength and chemistry.

Two ways to play

Classic for the numbers, Expert for the purists.

Classic

Player ratings and stats are visible. Build the strongest XI you can and chase the perfect 38-0.

Expert

Ratings are hidden - only names and positions. Trust your football knowledge, not the numbers.

Why 38-0?

No Premier League team has ever gone 38-0. Arsenal's 2003-04 Invincibles went unbeaten with 26 wins and 12 draws. Manchester City's 2017-18 Centurions hit 100 points yet still lost twice. A perfect season is the ultimate football what-if, and 38-0 lets you chase it.

Mix players from any era. Drop a 90s cult hero next to a modern superstar. Pick the formation that fits your philosophy. Then play one simulated season and see if your all-time XI can back up the debate. Read the simulation methodology for the details.

Five leagues, five different drafts

Choose one league for a focused challenge, or bring every supported pool together.

Premier League

Choose the Premier League to keep every spin within curated English club-season squads and build the schedule from that competition’s opponent list. Read the exact club, season, and positions on each reveal, then complete a coherent XI for the simulated campaign.

La Liga

Choose La Liga to draft from curated Spanish club-season squads and face opponents selected from its league list. Judge each reveal by the roles still open in your formation, because the pool changes the available candidates without promising a particular style or result.

Serie A

Choose Serie A to keep the wheel among curated Italian club seasons and the completed campaign within its opponent pool. The useful differences come from the players, years, and registered roles actually revealed, so formation coverage still matters more than a league-wide assumption.

Bundesliga

Choose the Bundesliga to work through curated German club-season squads before meeting opponents from that competition’s list. Compare primary and alternate positions against the remaining vacancies, then let the finished XI and the stochastic season model determine the outcome.

Ligue 1

Choose Ligue 1 to draft from curated French club-season squads and build a schedule from its opponent entries. The same formation, fit, chemistry, and simulation rules apply, leaving the revealed players and your decisions—not a league stereotype—to shape the run.

All leagues

All leagues combines the five supported player pools for the widest range of club-season reveals. The season then selects 19 opponent entries from the combined lists, while position fit and chemistry still ask whether the drafted names function as one coherent football team.

Build a team, not a list of names

Give every selection a role, then use the game's signals to test whether the full XI works together.

Choose a shape before chasing names

Start with the football your team should play. A clear formation gives every selection a job: who carries the ball forward, who protects transitions, who creates chances, and who finishes them. Once those jobs are visible, famous players become easier to judge because you are choosing for a system rather than collecting a wall of highlights. A balanced midfield and sensible defensive cover often matter more than another attacker.

Learn how to build your XI

Read fit and chemistry separately

Position fit asks whether a player is being used where their profile makes sense. Chemistry asks how the group connects through position fit, era mix, legend status, and shared club context. They can point in different directions: a player may fit a role perfectly but reduce a connection elsewhere, or improve chemistry while leaving a tactical gap. Review both signals before you simulate, then make the trade-off deliberately instead of assuming a high rating solves every issue.

See the methodology

Treat ratings as game inputs

Ratings in 38-0 are inputs to a football game, not a definitive ranking of real careers. They help model relative strengths in attack, midfield, defence, and goalkeeping, then interact with your formation, team strength, and chemistry. Use them to compare options and understand why a result happened, but leave room for your own football judgement. The most interesting lineups are not always the highest rated; they are the ones with a convincing idea behind them.

Understand the model

What happens during the 38-match season

A 38-0 season places your XI against 19 opponents at home and away. Each fixture begins with the selected team strength, chemistry, and home advantage, so the scoreline grows from the shape and personnel you chose rather than a single overall number. The model also allows for stochastic scores, reflecting the uncertainty that makes football compelling from match to match.

At the end, you receive a final record that makes the campaign easy to compare, replay, and discuss. A new run can vary because of those stochastic scores, even when your lineup stays the same. These results are game outcomes, not predictions of real matches or a verdict on real players; they are an invitation to test an idea and refine it.

Frequently asked questions

Is 38-0 free, and do I need to sign up?

38-0 is free to play. You can begin building and simulating an XI without creating an account, so the focus stays on trying ideas and seeing how your team performs.

Which leagues are supported?

You can play against the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, or the combined All leagues pool. Each option gives the season a different opponent context.

Which football eras can I use?

38-0 is designed for cross-era team building, letting you bring together players from different periods. The game treats that choice as a creative football question rather than a historical prediction.

How do compatible positions work?

Compatible positions show where a player can reasonably contribute within the selected shape. Natural placement supports position fit, while stretching a player too far from their role can weaken the overall XI.

Why can a replay produce a different result?

Scores include controlled stochastic variation, so a replay can tell a different story even with the same lineup. The core team inputs remain important, but football games should retain some uncertainty.

What does 38-0 mean?

The name points to the ambition of a perfect 38-match league season: 38 wins and zero defeats. It is a playful target for your XI, not a promise that any team will achieve it.

Can you build the perfect team?
