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. 

Hi Joshua! Can you add Hamza Abdelkarim to the game. Thanks for everything

Hi Joshua, I had an idea and wanted to share it with you. What if we added separate statistics for the first and second halves of the game?

Hi Joshua, I’ve got a suggestion: how about adding a shot map visualization for goals, showing where the shot was taken from and where it ended up in the goal?

Hello Joshua! I have a suggestion. What if we added a Golden Goal mode instead of the Away Goals and Penalty shootout mode?

Hey Joshua! I've got a suggestion. How about you add captains to teams in match siumlator

Josh can you add the name of the player when it says "saved by a last ditch tackle" or "ball is headed out by the defender" during a corner so those defensive stats effect the players match rating?

There is a mistyping here, Joshua 0

Can you try again? Or explain whats the typo and where?

When you create cup from Cup presets page, in tab Match engine it said "Tacticacl" instead of Tactical

Thanks!

Hi Joshua, I would Say you which the Palermo's goalkeeper Is not Bardi because he went in another club which I dont know

All player on MS comes from sofifa.com updated as of 10th Septemeber (or 16 I don't know). If you want to change the players from their clubs, you can create or import a "customization pack"

Cinematic 9-goal match.

Sup, Joshua. Have you ever thought of making the two-staged Championship play-off group and relegation play-off group cup type like in the belgian and romanian league?

Hi Joshua 

When will you add stadium's names when we simulate cups ?

what use will that add tho....

https://matchsimulator.com/match/400714f2d687bc58/fc-barcelona-vs-real-madrid

 

Just saying I really like the match ratings system
I think it is very realistic

Thanks!

My personal suggestion would be to track MOTM like goals are tracked but this is still good

Hi Joshua, "Mark all as read" function lead to a Bad request page. Please check it

Yes, I'm aware, thanks for reporting! Will fix asap

HI JOSHUA. How do you move a player out of tactics manually

You cant really delete a player from tactics, only thing you can do is put him in the reserves

Is it possible to get over a 7 match rating without a goal or assist for an attacker or midfielder?

Yes

https://matchsimulator.com/match/691189fb9e334b2e/newcastle-united-vs-liverpool

I like the rating system but i think it is too hard to get a 7 or above for example this game its 0-0 but no defenders got a 7. also when teams win, a lot of times its only players who got goal or assist who got a 7 or above, so despite team winning 2-0 it could be only 2-3 players and rest would be 6 or 5 ish ratings.

in my opinion it should stay like that because when you watch football you know Liverpool they have really low amount of players that are in good form and it's like that wirtz should get 8 match rating all week

well bro im not talking about liverpool scum specifically like im just saying like if a team is winning usually its not just the players who score who have an impact, so i think other metricts for stats should be accounted for as well. this for all positions, attackers, mids, defs like are they dribbling passing blocking shots who doing that shiiuu

Burnley - Nottingham Forest | Match Simulator like heres another good example like 1. why is wood getting 6.6 after scoring, and then legit brunley scored 3 goals and everyone got bad ratings excpet the 3 players who got g/a

https://matchsimulator.com/match/52d4ba080df665e2/manchester-united-vs-chelsea and this one like chelsea won 2-1 and pedro neto is the only player who got a 7 like eveyrone else was apprent;y crap in a 2-1 win

https://matchsimulator.com/match/768ab6bc1279f1bb/fk-bodo-glimt-vs-tottenham-hotspur 

well link watch some football because on Barcelona Lewandowski scores but gets mid ratings too

 

and getting a goal doesn't always give you high match ratings cuz the ratings are from the full match

Thanks for the feedback, will be taken into account. The ratings will be continuously tweaked until they are balanced and fair.

That said, it all depends on in which context you look at the ratings; do you look at it like you expect from other apps/leagues/...? Because each uses their own metrics to give ratings. There are newspapers that rate from 1 to 5 where 1 is nearly perfect and 2 is already really rare. So with that in mind, you can also regard this as the Match Simulator Metrics. As long as the ratings are fair and consistent over time and position, you could argue this is fine as well.

But as stated before, it will still be tweaked and your feedback is noted!

The rating system is really excellent! Thank you Joshua.

Wow I see you have done a great job there with the rating system! Don't know how it works but very realistic. Thanks a lot for bring it to us!

Thanks, good to hear! In the end it became a pretty advanced and detailed system, I kept coming with things I could integrate that influence the rating. But: it is still open to feedback, it can be tweaked until it is balanced and fair.

Josh can you add in cups average match rating stat?

Up next: a best performers card on the Summary tab (soon), followed by advanced stats tracking in cups for Premium users: average match rating, matches played, minutes played, clean sheets

Why is it premium i wanted it as a free and many would :(

Because:

1. I want Premium to have exciting and advanced content

2. This would cost a lot of storage, so it can only be available for a small number of users

joshua how do i bulk reset like in the customisation pack,i wna reset all edited players.do uk anything abt tht?

There currently is no way to do that. But cant you just make a new pack?

ouh ok.i made a mistake in the pack but i couldnt let myself delete a year worth of work

yes match ratings are here

 

https://matchsimulator.com/cup/2067350/world-cup-2022 

What would happen if England actually won the 2022 World Cup

https://matchsimulator.com/match/5ce2c8ab82ebee00/chelsea-vs-fc-barcelona

https://matchsimulator.com/match/40d6b0b2be0770ee/fc-barcelona-vs-chelsea

What a comeback from barcelona!

Hello,

As Jordan qualified to the world cup 2026 I believe it should be added as I need to work with the team of my country, any possibility to add nations? I can help with that if needed.

Check out the customization packs. If I search on Jordan, I already find 5 packs, and there's probably more! At a later stage, the missing nations will be added to the main database, but only when the full event is set up.

https://matchsimulator.com/customization-pack/95803/more-national-teams


this contains the jordan national team with some additional arab countries , but its available only for 24/25 season 

( also contains rumoured players that are eligible to transfer nations . Ex : Salech )

https://matchsimulator.com/match/2318e3f8229f39e2/6a-vs-punjab
bruh how a gk scored a brace?!

Wow never saw that before

Huh, i was confused as well. I think he isnt really a GK?

He is a st with an alternate position of gk

why would u even do that 😭

Because he is a real player which can play as a st and as a gk

(he's name is not real, of course )

Well, it is a bug actually, one that i intend to solve. The deciding algorithm uses the players main position, not the position theyre actually playing in. So thats also why if you put a striker at CB he will still score a lot.

https://matchsimulator.com/match/b5aeb2dc1cc152ab/cruzeiro-vs-atletico-nacional

They won with two own goals

ive been seeing a lot of comments on how joshua has to update the game more and when are all these features coming. give the man some time he works so hard to make this incredible website but instead of appreciating it a lot of us just want more instead of just saying thank you for the fact that this website even exists. thank you so much joshua and keep up the hard work

Thanks mate, feels good to hear some kind words once in a while 😁

Its true that theres always more demands and for every new feature there are 10 more requests, and I do get frustrated and annoyed by that. But I have to keep in mind that those requests wouldnt be there if they didnt like the game, then they would just go someplace else. So basically with each new request they are saying they like how it is now and see how they would like it even more.

sorry joshua

https://matchsimulator.com/cup/2062480/champions-league-25-26

Is it a bug or why can't Newcastle lose a single match?

Just chance

newcastle topped for me too but lost to tottenham in the round of 16 😭

https://matchsimulator.com/match/04f873edd26e32cd/pfc-ludogorets-vs-rangers-fc

WHAT A COMEBACK

This EPL final round is absolutely cinema  🤯

EPL

Liverpool really lost 3 in a row to bottle the title 🙃

wait, how does your top 4 have a blue line next to it

 

That's a new feature that Joshua has added recently called "Customize rank indicators".

You can access it by clicking the 3 dots to the right of the "League table".

How about any sound in this web, for example the sound of each goal?

It does not need to be complicated, just simple like some sound in Wheel Of Names.

I think you should consider this point.

Joshua, un giorno aggiungerai anche i tornei: coppa africa, europeo, comma america, coppa asiatica..???

Just to let you know for the future, Joshua wants us using english but I can translate it for you and don't worry I am not trying to be disrespctful:

Joshua, one day you will also add the tournaments: African Cup, European Cup, Copa America, Asian Cup..???

Here you go all (the translation)

Thanks, I think witch Google translate automatically

European cup has already been added last time, the other cups might be added in the future but it depends on the availabolity of the teams and the third party that we connect to for the tournament data.

Hello Joshua, I thought it would be smart for me to help with the translation since no one else did

It's in italian

Cup 'UEFA Champions League' | Match Simulator barca went unbeaten

It is private

my bad

Borussia Dortmund - Liverpool | Match Simulator thy rly going at it

joshua, i am not requesting but it is an idea. If a club wins a trophy show a picture of the trophy next to the club

Excuse me, does anyone have a pack that updates players via SOFIFA to the latest version? Can you share it to me?

 

Just search up sofifa or update

Do you plan to add a feature when if a player is in form their rating goes up and if they arent in form their rating goes down and the lineups change based on players form? And also can you add stanima where players get tired and the ai rotates tired players out and the amount of rotations depend on how strength of the opponent? Thank You

Maybe someday

Honestly stop if you want managers make your own website and give Joshua a break

Can you add all the nations and all the clubs

use customization packs for that

Got it

Let's see my profilo and my new pack

OH MY GOD! https://matchsimulator.com/match/c9b92de3f1c36420/pakistan-vs-india

BRO IM SO TIRED OF YOU NOT UPDATING THIS GAME PLEASE ADD MATCH RATINGS ,MANAGER AND PLAYER CAREER MODE! 🤬

Dude, chill Joshua has previously said he would, he can't add it immediatly, just give him time, it's a one person operation, he said his main goal is to add a carrer mode, it will take a while

Take this as a final warning:

Read the FAQ

It clearly specifies that we can not give estimates and info on when new features come out. This is not a big business where hundreds of developers work, this is just me having to do this next to my regular job. You are free to use this website, you can make requests, but this is really inappropriate. With comments like this Im more inclined to not give new updates because you dont deserve it this way. Lucky for you, there are a lot of respectful users that I do want to bring out updates for.

Next disrespectful comment will mean a block.

I know we all want managers and career mode but please express your opinions in a respectful manner

I want it too but this comment is really childish.

keep calm

yo, joshua made this website that your playing so he can kick you out if you dont stop this childish behavior

RC Celta - Elche CF | Match Simulator dear god...

RC Celta was not feeling nice

Hi Joshua, i have an idea and i wanted to see if it was in your plans... you see sometimes you might be simulating a match and a player comes of the bench at peforms exceptionally well, for example i was simulating Man Utd vs Chelsea and Man Utd won 6-1 and Mason Mount came off the bench and got 3 G/A, but then in the next match they wont even get a chance of the bench, so what im saying is the ai could manually change the team if someone had previously had a really good game. Thanks in advance

I like that and will keep it in mind!

This comment was deleted.

Stop this childish behaviour please, Joshua adds whatever he wants on the website, and even if he should listen his users (and he does!), he can't add anything that is requested for many different reasons

Thanks mate!
