Perfect XI is a free English top-flight draft game where you build an all-time XI from 11,077 player seasons spanning every Premier League campaign from 1992 to 2026.
Spin the wheel to land on a real Premier League club from a specific season, draft players from that squad, and build your team one position at a time. Mix modern superstars with legends from the 90s, 2000s, 2010s and beyond to create your ultimate XI.
Once your squad is complete, simulate a full 38-game season and see how far your XI can go. Matches are simulated with a Dixon-Coles model — the same statistical framework used in professional football analytics — with attack and defence ratings, home advantage and expected goals, so the results behave like real football rather than dice rolls. Can you go the season unbeaten?
Want a different challenge? Jump into World Cup 2026 mode and take a nation — or a hand-picked World XI — through a group stage and knockouts all the way to the trophy.
Every mode uses the same squad database and the same match engine. Pick the one that suits the time you have.
Take on the world. World Cup mode drops your XI into a 2026-style international tournament — a group stage followed by knockout rounds, all the way to the final.
Pick one of the qualified nations and draft from its real squad, or build a World XI by drafting a star player from a different country at every position. Then play through the group, survive the knockouts and try to lift the trophy.
Choose a country and draft its real squad, then chase World Cup glory.
Draft a different nation at every position to assemble the ultimate global side.
Every match plays out live, minute by minute. Chase the Golden Boot and Golden Glove — contested against the best players from every nation — and unlock a full set of World Cup achievements in your trophy cabinet.

One squad. Season after season. Your XI ages, grows, declines and retires — and you manage it all: the budget, the transfer market, and a board that expects results.
Every player gets a career age. Under-24s grow each summer, players peak through their late twenties, and the decline starts after 30. At 33+ they may hang up their boots — plan for it.
Your league finish earns a transfer budget each season — win the title and the board backs you with serious money. Spend it in the market on rising stars, or sell ageing legends while they still hold value.
The board sets a target every season based on your squad's strength. Hit it and your manager rating climbs. Miss it badly and the pressure builds…
Let your rating collapse and the board will act. A sacking ends the dynasty — your legacy is the trophies and seasons you leave behind.
Seasons now run on a Dixon-Coles model with real expected goals, home advantage and true scoreline distributions.
Earn XP every season, complete daily and weekly missions, build a streak and spend coins on unlocks.
Win the league to unlock harder tiers, and fill your collection of all 714 club-seasons.
Match audio, celebrations and haptics, plus colourblind modes, reduced motion and text scaling.
