A quick, tactical guide to Sete a Zero, the football draft game about smart picks, squad balance, and World Cup simulations.
Here's a quick look at the game:
Sete a Zero is not just about picking the most famous footballer on the screen. It is a World Cup draft game where you build an 11-player team from random national squads, then simulate matches to see if your choices can survive the tournament.
The best runs usually come from balance: elite attackers, reliable defenders, a proper goalkeeper, and enough flexibility to handle bad rolls.
The Core Draft Loop
You roll a random team and tournament year. The game shows players from that squad, and you pick one for your team.
That sounds simple, but each choice affects the rest of the run. Taking a striker now may block you from using a better striker later. Ignoring defense may leave your simulation exposed. Picking only icons can create an unbalanced lineup.
Your job is to turn random draws into a complete team that can win.
How to Build a Strong XI
Prioritize Hard-to-Fill Positions
Great forwards are common in many famous World Cup squads. Elite full-backs, goalkeepers, and defensive midfielders are easier to miss.
When a top player appears in one of those positions, consider taking him even if a more famous attacker is also available.
Watch Your Formation
Your formation controls how many defenders, midfielders, and attackers you need. A front-heavy formation can be powerful, but only if the draft gives you enough quality forwards.
A balanced formation is safer when you are still learning the player pool.
Use Skips Carefully
A skip is most useful when the squad offers no clear upgrade or when all good options play positions you have already filled.
Do not burn skips too early just because a roll looks boring. A solid defender from a less glamorous squad can still improve your team.

Practical Tips
- Do not chase attack only. Simulations punish weak defensive structure.
- Pick a top goalkeeper when you get the chance.
- Leave at least one flexible midfield or forward slot open for late legends.
- In hidden-rating mode, trust tournament impact, not club reputation.
- If you are unsure between two players, choose the one who fixes a lineup weakness.
Best For
Sete a Zero is best for players who enjoy football history, draft decisions, and quick “one more run” games. You can play casually with visible ratings, or make it harder by drafting from memory.
