38-0

38-0 presents itself as a football gazette (columns, nets, small caps and a classifieds column included), and it sells a precise fantasy: the perfect campaign. You choose a competition, set up a ticket in three steps (format, tactics, role), launch the draw, you inherit a starting eleven, and the campaign is played. The daily challenge, numbered and accompanied by a countdown to the next one, takes the form of a duel: two footballers are featured on the poster, you pick a side before the draw, and the banner specifies that both enter with the same overall. The draw is the same for everyone. The list of competitions is long: Brasileirão, Copa do Brasil, Libertadores, Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, Euro, World Cup, with two entries announced as coming soon.

1. For the day's challenge: read the duel poster, choose your side between the two players offered, then press "PLAY THE CHALLENGE." The ticket is imposed: competition, role, formation and style are displayed under the two names.
2. For a free campaign: choose a competition from the list at the bottom of the page, sorted by country and by continent.
3. Build the ticket in three steps, as the page indicates: format, tactics, role. Each line in the "YOUR CAMPAIGN" block is editable by clicking.
4. Press "ROLL THE DRAFT" to draw the eleven.
5. Play the campaign. The daily leaderboard shows, for each participant, a total points score, a goal difference and a wins-draws-losses record.

The title says it all: finish the campaign without a single defeat. It's an almost impossible goal, and 38-0 makes failure fun by laying it out like a sports gazette: the day's poster in big caps, the top-three leaderboard, classifieds in the margin, yesterday's result at the foot of the column. The daily duel is the trick: rather than leaving you alone with a draw, it makes you pick a side between two footballers and shows in real time how many people chose as you did and what their yield was. You come back both for the campaign and for that citywide vote, and the list of competitions, from the Brasileirão to the World Cup via the Libertadores, gives you enough to keep going well past the day's challenge.

The landing page shows how the game positions you. The daily leaderboard shows the top three with points, goal difference and a numeric record. The duel table gives, for each of the two sides, an average points score, a win percentage and the number of participants who started on that side, so you can see in real time which way the day is leaning. Under the poster, a line recalls yesterday's share and the best score achieved. The "YOUR CAMPAIGN" block displays "best: no campaign yet" as long as no campaign has been played.

Réservé aux membres

Full Brazilian and English seasons (league and cups in the same save), Manager mode, Euro, and an expanded trophy room.

• The day's challenge can only be played once, and the draw is identical for everyone: the only decision that really belongs to you is the side you pick on the poster.
• Before deciding, look at the duel table: it gives, for each side, the number of players who chose that side and their average points. The most chosen side is not always the highest scoring.
• The settings of the last ticket are retained by the browser: competition, mode, formation, style. A free campaign therefore resumes from your previous configuration, which you can check before launching the draw.
• The competitions list distinguishes formats: Champions League in a 36-club league phase, Premier League home-and-away, Copa do Brasil in knockout format. The choice of competition determines how long the campaign you must survive will be.
