What European league mode is
The widest pool in the game. Every draft reaches across the five strongest domestic divisions in Europe, 2015 to 2025, which means eleven spins can hand you a Bundesliga keeper, a Serie A spine and a Ligue 1 front three and expect you to make them work together.
That breadth is the difficulty. In a pool this size you will be shown squads you have no opinion about at all, and the only honest way through is to read the six attributes on each card rather than trusting a name you recognise.
The five divisions
| Division | Country |
|---|---|
| English top flight | England |
| La Liga | Spain |
| Serie A | Italy |
| Bundesliga | Germany |
| Ligue 1 | France |
Want the English clubs on their own, without the rest of Europe in the draw? English top flight mode is exactly that — the same game over 35 English clubs and 220 squads, with its own leaderboard.
How likely is a perfect season?
Measured over thousands of simulated drafts of this pool: a careless draft goes unbeaten roughly once in 3,639 attempts. A careful one — players in their natural positions, a protected spine, attributes read rather than skimmed — manages it about once in 120.
That gap is the whole game. Luck decides which squads you are shown. Everything after that is yours.

Questions
Which leagues are in it?
The top division of England, Spain, Italy, Germany and France — 165 clubs and 1,074 club-seasons between them, 2015 to 2025.
A club appears once for every season it played, so Barcelona 2018 and Barcelona 2025 are separate squads with separate players and separate ratings.
Can I mix players from different leagues?
You will have to — a single draft draws from across all five. There is a small synergy bonus for ending up with five or more players from one league, on the theory that men who have played against each other understand each other, but it is deliberately minor. It should be a nice moment, not a strategy.
Is it harder than English top flight mode?
A little, at the very top end, and not for the reason you would guess. The simulation does not know which competition you picked — your season is played out from the eleven players you drafted and nothing else — and the two pools have almost identical average squad quality: the median squad here fields a best XI averaging 72.4, the English pool 72.2.
The difference is in the tail. This pool holds 165 clubs, so the great sides are a smaller share of what you are shown; the English pool is a fraction of the size, so they come round more often. Measured over 30,000 drafts each, a perfect season is roughly 2.1 times rarer here for a careless drafter and about 2.6 times rarer for a careful one. The deeper pool simply shows you the great sides less often, and over thirty-eight games that compounds.
What really differs is texture. This pool is deeper and will show you clubs you have never watched, which makes reading the attributes rather than the badge much more important.
Why does the season have 38 games?
Because that is the length of a season in four of the five divisions, and it is the number the game is named after. Thirty-eight wins, no draws, no defeats — 114 points, and no club in any of these leagues has ever come close.
