About All Eras XI
All Eras XI is a free football draft game. You spin a squad from football history, take one player from it for one position in your team, and repeat until you have an XI drawn from clubs and countries decades apart. Then the game plays a full season with it, match by match.
Who makes it
All Eras XI is made and run by Flavr Web Dev Ltd, a small software company registered in England and Wales (company number 14994358). Our registered office is 161 Cicero Crescent, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, MK11 4DR. We build and run a handful of apps and websites, and this is the one that settles the argument every football fan has had: who gets into your all-time team, and how good would that team be.
The game launched in 2026 under the name Galácticos and was renamed All Eras XI later that year. Your account, leagues and results carried over unchanged. It plays in a web browser at allerasxi.com and as an app for iPhone, iPad and Android, and one sign-in with Google or Apple keeps your progress in step across all of them.
What makes it different
Most dream-team games let you pick anybody. All Eras XI makes you choose under pressure. Each spin offers one squad, such as Brazil 1970, Arsenal 2003-04 or Milan 1989-90, and you may take one player from it. Take the great striker now and you might never see a left-back worth having. Hold out for a goalkeeper and the spins may run dry. The skill is in reading what the pool is likely to offer and spending your few re-spins well. The how to play guide covers the whole loop, and the picking guide goes through it position by position.
Because every squad is a real team from a real season, the game doubles as a tour of football history. That is why this site also carries articles on the great sides the pool draws on.
How the squads are put together
Every squad in the game is a real club season or a real national team at a real tournament, with the players who were actually in it.
- Historical squads are compiled from the public record: published squad lists, club histories and tournament records.
- Recent squads are built from a licensed football data feed, so current players, positions and appearances are right.
- The English Archive holds hundreds of club seasons from English football this century, so you can draft from mid-table sides and relegation battlers as well as champions.
When a player or a position is wrong, we fix it. If you spot one, tell us which squad and which player, and it goes into the next data update.
How the ratings work
No data provider can tell you how Pelé in 1970 compares with a forward playing today, so the ratings are ours. Each player has an overall rating out of 99 and separate ratings for goal threat, creativity, defending and goalkeeping. Recent players start from their real statistics for that season. Players from earlier eras are rated by hand against a common scale, so a great side from 1970 and a great side from 2020 can meet on level terms. They are estimates made for a game. They are our opinion, and arguing with them is half the fun.
The simulation uses those ratings and where you played each man. A player in his own position gives you everything he has; one pushed into an unfamiliar role gives you less. The scoring and ratings guide explains how an XI becomes a result, and every run is checked by our server so the leaderboards mean something.
The articles on this site
The guides are written by the people who make the game and checked against the game itself. The football history articles are researched and drafted with the help of AI tools, then checked fact by fact against the sources listed at the foot of each one before they are published. Where sources disagree we say which we followed. If you find a mistake, email us and we will correct it.
