How to Play 38-0-0
38-0-0 is a football draft game where you build an XI and chase a perfect Premier League-style season: 38 wins, 0 draws, and 0 losses. This guide explains the full flow from draft setup to final season review.
Step-by-step gameplay
Step 1
Choose a game mode
Start with the classic random club draft or choose a club legacy draft. Random drafts give you a different club season each round, while club legacy drafts focus the player pool around one club.
Step 2
Pick a formation
Your formation decides which positions must be filled. A 4-3-3 needs wide forwards and full backs, while narrower shapes place more pressure on midfield balance.
Step 3
Draw the player pool
Each round reveals a team or player pool. Review the available options before choosing, because every pick affects the rest of the squad.
Step 4
Draft one player per round
Pick one player who fits an open position. Strong drafts are not only about the highest overall rating; they also need positional coverage and useful attributes.
Step 5
Complete your XI
After enough rounds, your starting XI is complete. Check whether the squad has enough pace, finishing, passing, defending, dribbling, and physical strength.
Step 6
Review the season result
The goal is the perfect Premier League-style season: 38 wins, 0 draws, and 0 losses. If the run falls short, start again with a new draft path.
Beginner draft tips
- - Fill scarce positions early if the formation depends on them.
- - Use overall rating as a shortcut, but compare attributes before the final pick.
- - Keep midfield control in mind. A draft with only attackers can struggle across a full season.
- - Treat every run as a puzzle. The best choice changes with formation, current squad, and remaining positions.
How ratings affect a run
38-0-0 shows overall rating plus attributes such as PAC, SHO, PAS, DRI, DEF, and PHY. A striker may need finishing and pace, a defender needs defensive quality and physical strength, and midfielders often depend on passing, dribbling, and balance.
