How to Play 38-0 Premier League

From empty squad to perfect season — every step of the game, explained.

Skip the manual — play 38-0 free No download, no account. You will learn everything in your first draft.

38-0 is a free Premier League perfect season simulator that runs entirely in your browser. The goal is simple to say and almost impossible to do: build an all-time XI from the greatest squads in Premier League history, then win all 38 league matches — 38 wins, 0 draws, 0 losses. Here is exactly how a game plays out, start to finish.

Step 1: Club Setup

Give your club a name and pick a difficulty. Normal shows every player's OVR rating during the draft. Legend hides all ratings — you draft on real football knowledge alone, with a single reroll as your only safety net. There is also a Daily Challenge: the same draft seed for every player in the world that day, always on Legend difficulty.

Step 2: The Draft

A slot machine spins through the 44 historic squads in the pool — from the Arsenal Invincibles and Manchester United's Treble winners to Leicester's miracle and the modern Manchester City dynasty. Wherever it lands, you pick exactly one player from that squad's 18-man roster. Eleven spins later, your all-time XI is complete. Every squad in the pool is documented in the squads database, and the biggest prizes are ranked in our best players guide.

Step 3: Pick Your Formation

You choose one of six formations: 4-3-3, 4-4-2, 4-2-3-1, 3-5-2, 4-4-2 Diamond and 3-4-3. Your drafted players slot into the shape you pick, and players with alternative positions give you extra flexibility. The full breakdown of what each tactic needs is in the formations guide.

Step 4: Choose a Manager

Twelve legendary managers are available — from Sir Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola (both +12 team bonus) through Wenger, Klopp and Mourinho down to value picks like Kevin Keegan and Rafa Benítez (+8). The bonus applies to your whole team across the season, so this choice matters more than it looks.

Step 5: The 38-Round Season

Your XI takes on a 20-team league of historic Premier League sides across 38 rounds. Every match comes with a live scoreboard, possession, shots, xG and momentum stats, minute-by-minute commentary, a real league table and a top scorers chart. Drop points and the perfect season is gone — but the title, top four and your final record are always still alive.

Step 6: Results, Records & the Hall of Fame

When the season ends you get a shareable record card — Champions, top four, or worse. Completed seasons are stored in your local Hall of Fame, and milestones along the way unlock achievements, up to the ultimate prize: The Impossible, a perfect 38-0-0 campaign.

FAQ

Is 38-0 free to play?

Yes. 38-0 runs entirely in your browser with no download, no account and no paywall. Your records are saved in local storage on your own device.

How long does a full season take?

A 38-round season takes roughly 10 to 20 minutes depending on how much of the live commentary and match stats you watch. You can simulate rounds quickly if you only care about the final table.

What is the difference between Normal and Legend mode?

Normal mode shows every player's OVR rating during the draft. Legend mode hides all ratings, so you have to draft from real football knowledge — and you get just one reroll.

Has anyone ever achieved a real 38-0-0 season?

No. No club has ever won all 38 Premier League matches in a season. The Arsenal Invincibles of 2003/04 came closest, going unbeaten with 26 wins and 12 draws.
