SETE A ZERO
MEMORY MODE GUIDE
De Almanaque — the ultimate test of football knowledge. No ratings, no shortcuts. Just your memory of World Cup history against the draft RNG.
WHAT IS MEMORY MODE?
In Memory mode (called 'De Almanaque' in Portuguese and 'Modo de almanaque' in Spanish), player overall ratings are completely hidden during the draft. You see only the player's name, nation, and World Cup year.
You must rely on your knowledge of football history to know whether Paraguay 2010's goalkeeper is a world-class pick or a disaster waiting to happen.
Reroll Rules in Memory Mode
Classic mode gives you 3 wildcards per run. Memory mode may offer fewer rerolls (reported as 1 by some players). Treat every wildcard as precious — save it for rounds 9–11 when weak nations appear.
EXPERT TIPS
Memorize the Big 10 Squads
Brazil 1970, Argentina 1986, Argentina 2022, Germany 2014, France 1998, Netherlands 1974, Brazil 2002, Spain 2010, Italy 2006, England 1966. Know each squad's GK, two CBs, and best attacker.
Safe Picks from Any Nation
When unsure, draft the goalkeeper. GKs are the hardest position to fill and the most impactful in penalty shootouts. Even from weak nations, the GK is often the safest pick.
Iconic Names = Auto-Draft
Pelé, Maradona, Messi, Cruyff, Ronaldo, Zidane, Neuer, Buffon — always draft these names regardless of whether you remember their exact rating.
Learn Weak Nations
Paraguay 2010, Serbia 2022, Ghana 2010, Honduras 2010, Peru 1978, Senegal 2002 — use your wildcard when these appear late in the draft.
Practice in Classic First
Complete 15–20 Classic mode runs before attempting Memory mode. You'll naturally memorize which nations produce elite players.

QUICK SQUAD REFERENCE
Top 4 squads you must never skip in Memory mode:
Brazil 1970
Must draft: Pelé, Jairzinho, Carlos Alberto
Never skip this roll with a wildcard. Pelé alone justifies the pick.
Argentina 2022
Must draft: Lionel Messi, Emiliano Martínez, Cristian Romero
Messi is mandatory. Martínez wins penalty shootouts in the simulation.
Argentina 1986
Must draft: Diego Maradona, Jorge Valdano, Nery Pumpido
Maradona is a one-man army. Always draft him unless the position is filled.
Germany 2014
Must draft: Manuel Neuer, Thomas Müller, Bastian Schweinsteiger
Neuer is the best goalkeeper in the game. Prioritize him over attackers.
