About me

Hi! I'm Joshua, the creator of Match Simulator.

What started as a hobby project in March 2019 has grown into something much bigger, with over 100 million matches simulated to date. This is now the third version of the website, and it’s an ongoing project that we continue to improve.

We’re always grateful for the contributions and ideas from the community. Thank you for your involvement and support, we're looking forward to your comments and ideas!

Before posting your question here, please take the time to read the FAQ. It provides answers to the most common questions, like when the 2025/26 player data will be released. 

hello kairat almaty isnt in the game yet so if you can add that club because they are in the UCL 25/26

You can look up my Kazakhstan-mod: https://matchsimulator.com/customization-pack/88244/kazakhstan

And they will be probably be added for the 25/26 season, so expect it start of October

Hey my match Simulator is broken it wont show me who scored and when i check the lineup its like they havent played yet can u fix it plz?

What is the problem? Can you send the link to the simulation? Without a link to a match or cup Joshua can't do anything...

Can it be that youre checking an old match that has been deleted? Matches get cleaned up sfter 24 hours unless saved.

can you add iran in the game?  iranian person and country. they qualified for wc

You can create an Iran-mod. 

Or you can search for a national teams-mod that includes Iran.

You should make a Youtube channel that shows us future updates 

Please read the FAQ. There is no roadmap or anything, we just work on it whenever there is time. In the Discord there is a sneak peeks channel where I put screenshots of upcoming stuff.

Can you allow us to use custom logo's by copying the url link of the logo?

Please read the FAQ: https://matchsimulator.com/frequently-asked-questions 

could you add that i can add and take away point from teams?

Maybe someday, but its not planned short term

-Can you add plotting system for group stage tournments like the world cup and can you add up to 3 host nations for ex mexico canada and united states. 

-Also Can you make it that there is a maxium amount of teams that could be in same group for world cup per continent and that in the ucl teams from same countrie cant face off in league phase?

-Thank You

First will be added, the second is more complicated and I don't see that being added soon. You can always do it manually though

Josh, how come when I put 94 rated Messi and 94 rated Ronaldo which have 95 and 97 finsihing to Southampton repecitvly they barley score any goals?

If Southampton are still around the worst in the league, then they will often not be the stronger team thus have fewer chances to score. Besides, they have to share the output between the two of them and even some other players that can score as well. Im still willing to bet that they are the top scorers of Southampton though and possibly top 10 of the league

What do you plan on adding in the future updates

Right now, friend requests + comoderating is being worked on. A domain transfer is in the works (technical) and of course the player and event update end of September/start of October

what does domain transfer mean? And how would friend request be usefull does that mean we can play with our friends

Its just technical but takes time thats why I mentioned it. The friend requests are required so that you can add a friend as moderator in your cups or packs so they can manage it as well

I still dont understand what domain transfer means

Where do the Attacking and Defending statistics in SOFIFA come from to create players who are not

Its the CB and ST attribute, but I suggest using the randomize button as that will provide a realistic value based on the rating you insert

"Hi, adding audio might actually be a great idea. You could even create an AI announcer to read the match commentary. On top of that, adding sound effects such as the net sound when a goal is scored, or the post sound when a player hits it, would make the experience much more immersive."

best regards

Yep, its somewhere on my list 😉

Hi Joshua, I've noticed that fullbacks in the sim are to overpowered, Not including corners I feel that fullbacks get way more assists that in irl. For example last season their was only one fullback in the top ten for assists, while for example in my last Premier Leauge sim, there were five fullbacks with 10+ assists. Also if like at the 22/23 season there was only one fullback in the top 10. Also most midfeiders get less assists than in irl, Example Morgan Rodgers in irl got 10 assists while in my last 3 Premier Leauge sims hes only got like 3 or 4.

I dont know why this is the case, but fullbacks with high crossing stats are to overpowered.

please add career mode

Hi Joshua, I've noticed that the player in a team with the highest crossing takes corners and the player with the best penalties takes pens, and when those players come off the next best at those stats takes them. This means that often the person with best crossing gets loads of assists, and player with best pens most goals. My suggestion is maybe less penalties, as they often are given an unrealistic amount of times, and maybe randomize the corner takers or decrease scoring directly from the corner taker (for instance players score from corner but without the corner taker getting the assist, like in real life often players score from corner but not directly from the cross) so the assists don't just go to the one person who takes the corner all the time.

Your assumption is correct.

-The chance of a corner resulting in a goal will be lowered, as it is indeed too high
-In later updates (working towards career mode), you will be able to select who takes the corners, so you can directly influence it
-The chance of a penalty still seems to be accurate. All chances are based on multiple seasons of Premier League football, so the amount of times a penalty is given and scored or missed align with real life. 
-I do like the suggestion of the goal coming from the corner, but without the assist; that seems realistic.

Hello. Can we have a function that lets us search by Position please? I really really need that. Kinda doesn't make sense not to have that option.

Will be added at some point

Awesome. Lookng forward to it.

Does the role of the player (like in EA FC 25) for example half-winger he is CAM or poacher if he is ST depend on teamwork?

Roles are not used in MS

Anyone else finding that the 'simulate full matchday' feature results in some crazy outcomes?

 

Bournemouth, Parma and Bochum all finished 4th in their league when I ran a season simulation, and Vitoria Guimaraes won the Portuguese League!

Yep, I've noticed it too. It hink there might somehow be a bug, I'm going to investigate that

I have an idea. If you create a cup and you have some clubs in it. You can make a thing called a Club Status. It's where you can see your stats on a club if there in one or more of your tournaments

Some Stats Would Be, how many cups they are in. How many cups they won. What cups they were in. What cups they won. What cups they lost etc. So that would be really good

 

 

 

Hello Joshua and Larsson.

Will there be a relegation round or playoffs ?

In the future. This is on the ideas list, but I cannot tell how high it is on the list.

https://matchsimulator.com/match/eb4de05d1dd97f64/morocco-vs-senegal

MOROCCO SWEEPED THE FLOOR WITH SENEGAL!!

Hey Josh, is there any way I can create a cup preset, or is that just a set thing

Yes see the Help button on the cup presets page, it explains it!

cheers bro

Just a suggestion but in a tournament where there is a clubs stats you could add a list of the squad and you could click on the players names and see their stats for the tournament

Before posting your question here, please take the time to read the FAQ. It provides answers to the most common questions, like when the 2025/26 player data will be released. 

yo gng,when is match sim updating?so we and our boys can plan a restart in our match sim?

 

Match Simulator is updated very frequently, but if you're referring to the season update (25/26) then its end of September/start of October. It's explained in the FAQ as well.

Joshua I was wondering if you could make simulating matchdays free instead for premium you could simulate whole season?

I get where you're coming from, but as I explained a couple of comments below, I can't make this a free feature. Besides, simulating a full season in one go is too heavy for the website. 

For more info regarding full matchday sim and why it needs to be premium, please read the FAQ

ok thanks I understood

Would it be possible to add an FPL style points system for tournaments (Excluding defensive contributions and bonus points)

So that you (and friends) could make your own fantasy team based on a league youre going to simulate and then get points based on how your players perform? Sounds really cool actually, maybe something that could follow along with the actual matchdays as well. I'll add it to the wild ideas list 😃

I was thinking just a point system as one of the statistics to start, but a whole teambuilding FPL would be great!

Hi Joshua, is it possible to make it so that after a draw in cup competitions, without extra time, a penalty shootout is played straight away? Not in all stages of the cup. There are just lower stages where after a draw there is a penalty kick right away 

Its on the backlog! Should be quite easy to add, but can't say when it will come

I think I may have suggested it before, not sure, but having the option to sim two legged fixtures separate would be a great addition! eg, if its the second leg, the option to input the aggregate score from the first leg. Keep up the great work.

Yo Joshua, not to hate but its kinda annoying that you have to buy premium to simulate matchdays... but hey it is what it is.

Hey I understand that! And I would have loved to include that in free, except it is not possible. The FAQ explains this a bit more. Basically, the costs of running the website would go higher than the revenue gained if I made that free.

Hi Joshua, I bought premium immediately and I'm glad I can support your work somehow :)
Also, automatic pairing after groups like A1-B2, C1-D2 or similar scheme continues to be my biggest wish and would help me a lot saving me a lot of clicks. Any plans?

Thank you and cheers from Croatia

Thank you for your support! A longtime fan as well :)I hope you enjoy Premium!

The automatic pairing is on my list and it will come, but I cant make any promises. 

yo larsson ive been reading all these comments here and dont listen to all these disrespectful uneducated people who think they can talk to anybody how they want. This site/project is fire if u ask me

That said a career mode would be very cool (:

Kind of you, and we agree :) Haters are everywhere unfortunately.

Yes, the ultimate goal of the website is a career mode so we're working towards that slowly!

Last warning. Otherwise you will be blocked.

This comment was deleted.

This is a one-man project. Please have some patience.

This simulation is already pretty realistic, if you ask me. So sit back, relax and sim some games!

i want a uprade on transfer this trasfer issue is i want the game if you want to sign aplayer you should bid money for the player each each club can save their own money so if we want to uy players they would reject or accept

A career-mode will come in the far future.

ok shut up

?

ok sorry

why is it that i can change the logo of oldham athletic but cant add them to a tournament?

its like the club exists but  doesnt have any players

 

Thats basically the answer.

In logo packs, you can edit any club that we have in the database.

But a club might not be available for a specific season. So in the case of Oldham, good chance they were available in some of the seasons, but not in this one.

but other teams from league two are available so how come are oldham not?

Because they promoted just a few months ago. The new season data is not here yet. Once it is, Oldham will be available again.

Hello Joshua

 

I'm quite new to the game and I enjoy it.

 

I would like to know if the simulation is made on a realistic team strenght. And if this strentgh change continuously. 

 

When will the 2025/2026 data and team be available?

 

Thank you 

Miche

The 25/26 data will be added somewhere around October.

Yes, the simulations are quite realistic. You can see the Teams page for the team ratings and the About page (in the footer) on how the simulation engine works.

Happy to have you here!

Hey. another question

Do we Have giveaways for free Premiums? 

Not yet! But those will come for sure. In the Discord we already have prediction leagues where we will probably attach prices to.

oh ok thank u! 

Premium is now open 

Hello. Im a iranian Match Sim user. and $ is expensive here. do the premium has a trial for free?  

Hi, I understand that it might be relatively more expensive. Unfortunately, we will not be offering free trials since I'm afraid this will be abused a lot by users creating more accounts. And it's really hard to counter that. But we will be having discount codes for the early subscribers, so hopefully that makes it feasible for you. 

No. Like in Iran. We areMany things are banned and many things are expensive. 

Im using this app With VPN Becuase In iran we are banned to go External sites 

And. i dont think discount will help. but thank you for your great app! 

Can man of the match and/or player ratings be added?

Planned.

when will the premium version be available for purchase?

After the announcement! It can happen anytime!

could you tell me what the new premium features will be?

1 Sim the whole matchday at once. 

2 No ads.

3. More slots to save matches, and the max. team per cup will be doubled. More features will come in the future.

Its detailed in the pricing page as well!

https://matchsimulator.com/pricing

if i purchase the premium version will i have it on both my computer and phone if im logged into the same account on both?

Yes it will just be on your account!
