How does the random Premier League team generator work?

It picks one team at random from a list of 20 Premier League teams. Every team has the same chance on each spin.

Can I get several different teams at once?

Yes. Choose how many teams you want and it picks that many with no repeats.

Can I remove a team from the draw?

Yes. Untick a team in the list and it will not be picked.

Does it save anything?

No. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.

Is the club list up to date?

The list shows 20 clubs and is updated when clubs are promoted or relegated. Use the list of tick boxes to remove a club or check it before you play.

How many clubs are in the Premier League?

There are 20 clubs, and each plays 38 matches a season.

Why might a club be missing from the list?

Clubs are promoted and relegated every season, so the list needs updating each summer. Tell us through the contact page if you spot a mistake.

How it works

The generator holds a list of 20 Premier League teams. When you click the button it picks a position in the list at random, using your browser's random number generator, and shows that team. If you ask for more than one team it picks that many different positions, so a team cannot appear twice in the same draw. Untick any team you do not want and it is left out.

The Premier League in brief

The Premier League is the top division of English football. It has 20 clubs, and each club plays the other 19 twice, at home and away, for 38 matches per season. At the end of the season the bottom three clubs are relegated and three clubs from the second tier, the Championship, are promoted. That is why the list of clubs changes from season to season: check this page's list against the official league site if you need it exact.

How fair is the draw?

Each time you press the button the page picks a position in the list using your browser's cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), so every ticked team has the same chance. When you ask for several teams the picked teams are removed from the pool as they are chosen, so the same team cannot come up twice in one draw. Nothing is weighted by team strength, popularity or past results, and the result is not stored anywhere, so a new press is a completely fresh draw from the Premier League clubs in the list.

Ideas for an EA Sports FC career mode or a football pool

Random teams make a game fairer and more fun because nobody can complain that they were handed the best or worst side. Agree a rule beforehand, press the button, and play it out. A simple extra rule is to play the same fixture twice with the roles swapped, so luck of the draw evens out.

Running a random-team game

Decide the rule before you press the button: the team you get is the team you play, with no swaps.
For a head-to-head, set the number to 2 and press once so both players get a different team. For a group, set the number to the number of players.
Use the tick-list to take out teams you have already used, or to restrict the draw to the teams you want to play with, and untick the rest.
Copy the result with the Copy button to paste it into a group chat or a scoreboard.
