About


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

This website was made as a hobby project in March of 2019. Since then, it has gotten a lot of interest from people all over the world. In December 2020 I found out that around 30K matches had been simulated, so I decided to take on the project again and try to make it even better.

If you like this project and want to contribute financially, that would be much appreciated! Any contribution helps me a lot and allows me to spend more time working on this project.

We can not add the FIFA Club World Cup event yet (will try to add it asap).

However, we were able to create an official preset! Check it out here: https://beta.matchsimulator.com/cup-preset/22245/fifa-club-world-cup*

Big thanks to Larsson for providing the missing teams and players that have now been officially added to the game.

*Also available on the regular website, you can find it here

what...

Is this where you share simulations?

Yes you may

W

Hello is it possible if I suggest the search function. My first suggestion is the first name of those who only have their first name initial can be searched through their first name. For example, I can search K. Kvaratskhelia even if I already search Khvicha. Another suggestion is when searching players or teams with symbols like Ø, we can search them even if I type O.

You should check out the BETA, there the second suggestion is implemented. Searching by first name is not possible at the moment as we do not store the first name

Is it possible to simulate a tournament using both clubs and nations? That would be so cool!

Dear Moderators!

I think it'd be a good idea to do an update:

The first thing is Penalty Event

Secondly winter tranfers

Next 40-120 rating

Moreover AFC, OFC, CAF, CONCACAF Champions League are also amazing

Also Mobile App is very comfortable!

Write back asap,

QWERTYUI

P.S. I think it's a good think to show goals and celebrations of footballers!

Love your enthusiasm, but at the moment we are working on finishing up the BETA. After that there is another whole list of ideas and features that will come first. 

To address your points:

-penalty event is planned

-winter transfers: we will work on more frequent squad pdates after BETA is finished

-rating will not change since the underlying system is built for 1-99

-new events and presets will come

-mobile app is planned for longterm. It would take a complete rebuild which is not feasible atm

you should make it that it simulates the rest of the season like simulating the primer league the current table

here is my FIFA club world cup:

https://matchsimulator.com/cup/1315304/fifa-club-world-cup

LOts of upsets/big scores!

Biggest upset: https://matchsimulator.com/match/38219c95ba1ed056/manchester-city-vs-borussia-dortmund

Biggest scores: https://matchsimulator.com/match/f2eb9d7f2d2916ed/manchester-city-vs-al-ain-fc

https://matchsimulator.com/match/09a80271e898a3e7/atletico-madrid-vs-palmeiras

Alvarez is literally a luck charm, he joined the Argentina squad in 2021 and they've won 2 Copa Americas, a finalissima, and a World Cup since. He won two premier leagues, an FA cup, and a UCL with Man.City, and he's doing quite well at Atletico!

Guys, will it be possible to enter the match results, goals scored, assists, etc.? In short - the chronology of matches. There is an amateur tournament in my city, and if it were possible to record all the results of matches in this way, it would be awesome

I would love that too, putting the score of a match as an example, 2-0 for one of the sides and then the ai to play along with it would be amazing!!

Maybe later, yes. But dont expect it soon.

Is it possible to simulate whole gameweeks/seasons at once, because it is frustrating having to simulate each match individually.

That probably won't happen.
This is a message I wrote a long time ago as an 'automatic answer', it might be not 100% right anymore.


Will there be an update where you can sim a whole matchday at once? Joshua and I understand the question, but on the other side it's not a great idea. Remember that this is a hobby project from Joshua, it's not his main and most important project. So it should be financially attractive to keep on woking on Match Sim. So the ads are most important. Remember every simulation has an ad in it, so for the Premier League Joshua sells 38x10=380 ads. If you want to simulate a whole matchday/matchweek Joshua can only sell 38 ads. If he does that, well I can only say that we can't expect anything more from MatchSim since it isn't attractive enough for Joshua to work on. Will it be a Premium feature? Logically speaking, yes. !!! Joshua didn't confirm anything to me and others yet, so this is not 100%!

Joshua just saying, penalties are broken because early in the match messi got a red card but later when it went to a pk shootout he still scored a penalty

I organized a tourment, based on the FIFA Imperialism concept, with the 100 national teams + 125 from Ralph’s mod “New teams”. Here´s the crazy Top 10, the winning match and the transfer between nations:

 

TOP 10:

 

10th Congo

9th Nigeria

8th Netherlands

7th Cape Verde

6th Turkey

5th Jamaica

4th Germany

3rd Italy

2nd Brazil

1st IVORY COAST! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

 

Grand final: https://beta.matchsimulator.com/match/6a4b6664ade02cfa/brazil-vs-ivory-coast

Sorry if the font size is too big, it wasn't my intention :).

I think it'll be a good idea to add flags for the nations we create

https://beta.matchsimulator.com/cup/1303653/fifa-club-world-cup My Club World Cup was absolutely crazy! 7-0 victory for Inter against Bayern, and Pavard (a defender!) top scorer with 5 goals. 


                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
7-0 in the final without any red cards, really crazy!

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Joshua can you add a space where you can see the best players? It could be in the Teams menu. If you add it, PLS add so that you can see the best players IN your mods TOO.

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
it would be cool if there was possibility to delete modded content (mainly players and clubs). It bothers me that I must remove whole mod because few players are same or that I need to accept that one club is empty and constantly check which one is correct every time I plan to add said club to tournament

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
You can remove single players and/or teams in mods. This can be done in either the 'old'-MatchSim, or the beta-version.

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
can you say how? i'm not too familiar with how this website works.


also they are not mine mods to be precise

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Old-MatchSim: Go to your mod and edit it. Then open the menu below where all newly made and added players are. You can delete or edit them there.

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
I think his point is that he wants to delete players and teams from other people's mods

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
yeah. sadly, I didn't precised that before

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Please can you try to make this a bit more realistic. In a group of Liverpool, Tottenham, Aston Villa and West Ham, Liverpool lost to West Ham (twice), Lost to Tottenham once and drew with them once, Beat Aston Villa once and drew with them once, and finished bottom of the group! Thank you though for this wonderful programme.

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Now do it 100 times and Liverpool will go through about 90% of the time. That is the power of random. In real life, upsets like that happen as well

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
That can happen.. livepool is too strong team but that does not mean they can't lose..


İf you simulate even 10 times again again you will see power of liverpool

You can add a tactic (squad) for that team and set that as default in cups. Other than that its not possible yet

That's great, thank you very much. Could you possible add Harvey Skieters and Kitt Nelson to the Cork squad?

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
They should now both be in as K. Nelson and H. Skieters in the bench/reserves. Let me know if anything else should be tweaked.

First you can go to the beta-version and filter on team or nationality.

It will take some time before it's here I think. Joshua is currently busy with finishing the beta-version. 

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
ok

We can not add the FIFA Club World Cup event yet (will try to add it asap).


However, we were able to create an official preset! Check it out here: https://beta.matchsimulator.com/cup-preset/22245/fifa-club-world-cup*


Big thanks to Larsson for providing the missing teams and players that have now been officially added to the game.

*Also available on the regular website, you can find it here

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

            

                
                

                    
I think part of why they lost was because Mbappe was playing in midfield

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
I put him at left mid in a 4-4-2 cause there's so many stacked players I couldn't put them all in their best positions

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
fair enough, or mbappe could have started on the bench

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Yeah but I was trying to find any way possible to get the best 11 on the pitch I'm sure irl he would've started on one of the wings

The beta-version has a transfer-option so you can do that easily!

Almost at 100M, only missing less than 150K sims, if y'all can, let's reach the milestone by monday night!

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
I have a glitch in the penalty shooutout where when someone wins the shoot out it repeats the shoot out again. For example if Real Madrid beat Atletico 4-2 on pens then it repeats and it finishes 6-4 even though it should already be over.

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Yes, this happens to me occaisonly as well. It happens when you click the pause button after the shootout is over but the game is not yet finished. Weird bug, but it doesn't affect the results of the matches, just changes the shootout score.

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Hi guys! I have a problem that I hope you can help me solve. When I try to create a cup, I get a message that I need to select at least 4 teams to create a cup, although I selected 32 teams. I tried to create it again many times, but nothing helps. Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Can you tell me what type of cup and what settings etc you try to create?

https://matchsimulator.com/cup/1268968/custom-cup I just created this without any problems... The only thing I can think of is that you might have Javascript disabled? What you could do is open your console (F12 > go to Console tab) and check to see what error messages come in there. I'm suspecting something is wrong there. If you see something, please share it 

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Wondering if there is any way to update players ratings to there current ones in fc25 or if that will happen automatically at some point.

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Will not happen yet, but after BETA is finished we will add at least winter updates but probably weekly squad updates

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Thanks

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Kann man auch Trainer hinzufügen? Wie Zum Beispiel Anceloti, Guardiola,Kompanie?

Hello, please help me, I created a team in fashion and for some reason in the matches the players are not placed in the positions that I set. Although I confirm the composition that there is not, it's all the same what to do

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Did you assign the right squad to the team (didn't you use the default squad)?

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
what do you mean? in the mod settings? 

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Question for people who create players that are not on the site. If they are not in FC 25, is there a site to use to create their stats (eg pace, pass accuracy, shots)? Or do you guys just make up what you think would be accurate?

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
i use beta match simulator to create players since it automatically making stats, and maybe check their season stats depending on assists = passing etc

Wie machst du es das sie so viele Tore machen? 


Ich habe den Kader von Manchester United und Bayern München mit 99 Spieler ausgerüstet und sie erzielen nur maximum 5 Tore 

                

                

                    
                                           
                

            

            

                
                

                    
Es ist zufällig, selbst bei 99 Spielern ist es immer noch sehr schwer, dass es passiert

Can you please add a feature where three teams can go through per group like in the Euros 2024 competition or add it as a mod?
