How the 38-0 Game Works
The 38-0 game is a free browser-based Premier League draft and simulation game. You don't choose your players freely. A wheel spins and lands on a real club from a real Premier League season — Arsenal's Invincibles, City's Centurions, Ferguson's United — and you pick one player from that squad into your starting eleven. Eleven spins, eleven picks, and then the engine simulates a full 38-match season to see how close your dream XI gets to the impossible: 38 wins, 0 draws, 0 losses.
Choose Your Formation
Pick from seven formations — from an attacking 4-3-3 to a rock-solid 5-3-2 — and set the shape of your side.
Spin the Wheel
Each round, the wheel lands on a random Premier League club and season. You can re-spin a limited number of times, but otherwise you live with the draw.
Draft a Player
Pick one player from the drawn squad and place them into an open slot that matches their position. Strikers go up front, centre-backs at the back, and so on.
Fill Your XI
Repeat for eleven rounds until every position is filled. Your team overall climbs with each pick — or doesn't, if the wheel is unkind.
Simulate the Season
The engine weighs your keeper, defence, midfield and attack, then runs 38 matches. Watch the results roll in: wins, draws, defeats, goals and scorers.
Get Your Verdict
From "The Perfect Season" down to "Dropped to the Championship". See your final record, points tally, projected position, and where your spine was strongest — or weakest.
What Does "38-0" Mean?
A Premier League season is 38 matches long. 38-0 means winning every single one: 38 played, 38 won, 0 drawn, 0 lost. It has never happened in the history of English top-flight football. Arsenal's 2003-04 Invincibles went unbeaten but had 12 draws. Manchester City's 2017-18 Centurions won 32 and lost twice. A perfect 38-0 season remains the ultimate impossible dream — and that is exactly what this game challenges you to chase.
Why the Spine Beats a Glamorous Front Three
It is tempting to load up on famous forwards, but a 38-game season is won down the middle. The simulation weights the goalkeeper, centre-backs and central midfield most heavily, because that is where dropped points happen. A weak keeper caps your ceiling no matter how many goals your strikers score. An overrun midfield leaks late equalisers that turn wins into draws — and draws are exactly what separate "unbeaten" from 38-0. Draft like a manager building for May, not a fan picking a fantasy front line.
Three Decades of Premier League Greatness
The player pool spans the entire Premier League era. The 1990s give you the founding giants — Ferguson's treble-chasing United, Shearer's Newcastle, Blackburn's title winners. The 2000s bring the rivalry years: Arsenal's Invincibles, Mourinho's first Chelsea, Gerrard's Liverpool. The 2010s are defined by City's dominance and Leicester's impossible fairytale. The 2020s deliver the modern monsters — Haaland's goal records, Salah's relentless numbers, Arsenal's young challengers. Because each spin can land on any era, your XI is almost always a cross-era fantasy: a 90s hard man at the back, a 2000s playmaker in the middle, a 2020s machine up front.
