Historic seasons. Every goal, every assist, every card really happened. The thrill of not knowing. Build your squad, take on your friends and relive the golden era of Italian football.
How it works →Scores that change minute by minute and live text commentary: the same thrill as following the league update after update, just like the old days.
Pick the rules, invite your friends. RetroFC draws a random historic season and keeps it hidden. It could be the year of Maradona's Napoli, of Milan's Dutch trio or of Inter's Treble. You won't know until you've picked your players.
You can see the players' names, but what did they do that year? Totti in 2001 is not Totti in 2006. Who dares to bet everything on a name without knowing the context?
Every matchday is played in a few minutes using the real results of that year: goals, assists, cards, clean sheets. No simulations: that's really how it went.
Ascending-bid auction, like in the most classic fantasy football. You nominate a player, bidding starts, and the highest bidder takes him home. A 20-second countdown: hesitate and you're left empty-handed. It's the poker table of fantasy football, right in your browser.
Round-based auctions on blind bundles. Open a pack, see two previews out of five players, and decide how much to risk without knowing what's inside. You might find a Ballon d'Or winner or a defender who scored a 4 three matchdays in a row. Fortune favours the bold.
Every season is the real one: names, teams and ratings of that year. You'll find yourself fielding Totti, Del Piero, Batistuta and Nedved exactly as you remember them.
Give it a go: tap two players in the same position to swap them — this is the real pitch from the game, but here it's just a demo and nothing is saved.
A wallet that follows you throughout the league. Income from sponsors, TV rights and gate receipts; spending at auctions. Every transfer move weighs on the budget.
After the match you see how much you've earned: revenue, matchday challenge bonus and won bets, all paid into your league wallet.
A different bonus and malus every round, the same for everyone. “Score with the captain”, “goalkeeper under pressure”: set up your lineup accordingly, or take the risk.
Eight ready-made crests, or design your own: pattern, colours and initials of your choice.
Twenty different faces, each with their own style: pick the one that represents you best.
Follows you auction after auction with advice on credits and squad, with their face at the table.
Drawn at random and never revealed before the draft. It could be 1990, 2006 or 2015. Every match is a surprise, every choice a leap in the dark.
The rating comes from what happened on the pitch that day. If Baggio scored a brace, his rating tells the story.
A matchday lasts a few minutes, commentary included. A full season in one evening, even on your lunch break. No more leagues that last nine months and drain your will to live.
Countdown, raises, folds. The tension of the real table, without having to organise the evening. The timer ticks, the credits drop, and someone is about to snatch the striker from under your nose.
Match by match, not just the total. Who dominated the first one? Who collapsed in the third? Partial standings tell the story better than the final result.
The club colours of the time. Juve in black and white, Parma in yellow and blue, Milan in red and black. Details that make the difference.
Just you and your friends. Create the league, share the code, only you play. No strangers, no trolls: your group, your rules.
Nothing to download, nothing to install. Open your browser, create the league, play. On phone, tablet and PC — even with a connection that comes and goes.
RetroFC shines in a group. Create the league together, take on the same mystery season and, at the end, compare the standings of every single matchday. Who picked the unknown striker who scored a hat-trick? Who spent everything on a defender who got a 4? Laughs guaranteed.

Zero. RetroFC is completely free. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases to unlock seasons. Create the league and play. Full stop.
A full season (auction + 3 matchdays) takes between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on how many of you there are and how much you like raising at the auction. A single matchday for two is settled in a few minutes (the more of you, the longer it takes).
Each player's rating is calculated from the real match stats (goals, assists, cards, result, minutes played) with a system tuned to be realistic. Matches are not simulated: everything that matters really happened.
Yes, with "Solo challenge": you draft at auction against CPU opponents and play a matchday right away, without waiting for anyone. But the heart of RetroFC is multiplayer: the blind draft with friends is a different thing altogether.
From the 1985-86 season to 2019-20. Thirty-five years of Serie A, from Maradona's Napoli to Allegri's Juventus. We're working on expanding the catalogue.
No. RetroFC works directly in the browser, on any device. Open the link, create the league, play. No app to download, no updates.
No. Invite as many friends as you like. The more of you, the more chaotic and fun the auction gets.
Play right away against the computer, or find a public room or create a private league with your friends. Either way a random season is drawn — it could be 1994, 2006 or 1987. You don't know. And that's the fun of it.
