01
Roll a club season
Each turn draws one club from the top five leagues and a year from 1980 on. Liverpool 84, Milan 89, Barcelona 09 — you take what the dice give.
Roll a side from England, Spain, Italy, Germany, or France and a season since 1980. One footballer per draw. Then take the XI into Europe, or play UCL with friends.

Ratings stay visible. Take the useful name, not just the famous one. Tap an empty role before you roll to call it. The next squad only offers players who can fill that role. Tap a player for the armband, or use First pen and Swap under the pitch.

Roll a nation and a year.

Game guide
What is Club mode?
Club mode in Seven Nil is a separate draft. You roll one club from the top five leagues and one season since 1980, take one footballer who wore that shirt, and simulate a European run.

How does a turn work?
A turn is one roll and one pick. The dice give you a single squad. You take the one footballer who fits an empty role, then that squad is gone. Eleven turns fill the XI.
02
Take one footballer
Same rule as the World Cup draft. The shirt has to fit an open role. One pick, then that season is gone.
03
Simulate Europe
The finished XI is thrown into a European campaign: a league phase, then knockouts, then a final. The seven-nil still means champions, unbeaten, nothing conceded.
What do the ratings mean?
A rating is that year only, on a scale from the low 70s to the mid-90s. Classic shows the number. Almanac hides it. A name above 90 is gold. You have five redraws, and names lock when the draft starts.
Rules
One draw, one squad, one player. The formation owns the board. Classic mode shows ratings; Almanac hides them. Five chances cover a bad draw. Another team and another cup each spend one. Another cup keeps the side and changes the year. Names are set before the draft starts.
Build the spine first
Keepers, centre-backs, full-backs, and central midfield win campaigns. Attackers are cheap in the draw. Rare defenders are not. Take the scarce role, then let nostalgia in.
Common questions
What is Club mode?
A separate draft from the World Cup game. You roll historic club sides from England, Spain, Italy, Germany, and France, from 1980 to now.
Which leagues?
The top five: First Division / Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Division 1 / Ligue 1. Famous European nights only, no filler squads.
Is the pool mixed with countries?
No. Club mode never draws a national team. World Cup mode never draws a club. They are two games.
Can I play club drafts with friends?
Yes. Club friends is a separate lobby: friend vs friend on one device, a Rivalry 1v1 online, or a UCL knockout of 4 to 32. Those rooms never mix with World Cup friends.
What does the simulation judge?
A European campaign against other clubs. Same dream: champions, unbeaten, nothing conceded.
The numbers the draft uses
TL;DR: Seven Nil rates the season on the card, then simulates from that XI.
- 83 national tournament squads, from 1958 through 2026.
- 105 club seasons from the top five leagues, starting in 1980.
- 2,275 player ratings. A score above 90 is written in gold.
- Five redraws. Another cup and another team each spend one.
- 11 players. One open role, one pick.
According to FIFA, the men's FIFA World Cup article began in 1930 in Uruguay with 13 teams. The 2022 tournament used 32 teams and 64 matches. The 2026 tournament, shared by Canada, Mexico, and the United States, expanded to 48 teams and 104 matches. Those figures are the real cups. Seven Nil borrows the bracket shape, not the licence.
A rating here is not a career badge. Pelé in 1970 and a quiet year for a famous name are different numbers. The match model then uses the XI: overall, attack, midfield, defence, and how well the shirts fit together. A stronger side wins more often. It does not win every time.
Take the scarce role first. Attackers are common in the draw. A real left-back is not.
Only a match between two people is played minute by minute. The next round stays closed until that match is finished.
What the board is built from
Seven Nil keeps 83 national tournament squads and 105 club seasons. That is 2,275 player ratings. A rating is that year only. Above 90, the name is gold. A quiet tournament does not keep a career score. The written notes are on Guides, ratings, World Cups, and club seasons.
Champions, unbeaten, and nothing conceded. That is the seven-nil.
| Mode | What you draft |
|---|---|
| World Cup | One nation, one tournament year |
| Clubs | One top-five club, one season from 1980 |
| Friends | A final, or a cup seeded by ranking |
- Five redraws. Another cup and another team each spend one.
- World Cup rooms and club rooms never share a player.
- Only a match between two people is played minute by minute.
The real competitions this game borrows its shape from are the FIFA World Cup (played since 1930) and the UEFA Champions League. Seven Nil is not those competitions and is not licensed by them. Squad notes also follow public tournament reports such as the 1970 World Cup and the 2022 World Cup.
