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!
Version 3.3.0 is out now, containing a substitution rework allowing for 5 substitutions in 3 instances. Matches will use the new substitution rules by default, except for older cups and tactics; you will have to change the cup or tactics settings to upgrade to 5 subs and a larger bench size.

One of craziest remontada from vardrid
I can't find CSKA Sofia
is there a dark mode?
couple things 1. i feel like players should be subbed less if they the best ovrs on their team especially against high quality teams. for example norway vs brazil knockout game it was 0-0 and they subbed haaland off and then norway got penalty and his replacement tripic missed it and brazil won 1-0 in extra time.
2. idk why a lot of time cb get more g/a then wingers a lot like vvd getting 8 goals and gvardiol 7 but then savinho will get less and ekitike
When will the 2025/26 version of the game be out?
Hello everyone, I have one question, I finished my first cup inside the app, is it possible to start a "new season" of this cup ? Or do we need to create it again ? Thank you
When will the 2025/26 season be added here?
Do squads automatically update in Cups if I made a transfer halfway through?
Hi Joshua! I just wanted to ask you if stadiums are going to be added, like in the "today's matches" section, it would be nice to see it on every mode, not only there. An alternative is that you add to the customization pack editor this feature, so you can write the name of the stadium clicking on "stadium name" or something like that, thanks
Please add all national teams
Hi Joshua,
I was wondeirng how the statistics for players goals and assists works. It seems often that players with most assists are corner takers amd other players dont seem to get a lot of assists.
Are you planning to add head to head tiebrakers in group stages like club world cup? like instead of group stage, the team that won their match would go above.
add clean sheets as a stat
is the simulation proccess/system based on fc 25 or its own code? since the system used fc 25/fifa is not really affected by tactics and formations, so I can know when i am making a formation if it affects the chance of winning or only the positions of players and their ratings
Hello, from Japan.
I was making Honduras national team in my own customization pack. I have a question about it.
Before I add Honduran players, Hondurans were only few, so I could understand that there's no Honduras national team in the engine. But even after I added dozens of Honduran players (enough to form team), I cannot use Honduras just like before.
1 Could you tell me how to activate new national team? Or do I have to create a nation?
2 If I need to create a nation, I want to use national flags of the nation like default, how can I do that?
I always enjoy this simulator. Thank you for it.
I'm waiting your answer. Seeyou. (^_^)
Hello from Italy, sorry for my english. Thanks for this app! Can You tell me something about the game engime? For exemple, a team with a medium strenght 70 vs a team with medium strenght 60, how likely is the strongest team to win?
Do you know when the 2025/26 version will release?
recently i see a frequent problem simulating leagues:i simulate like matchday 10 and some teams after simulating their 10th game remains at 9 games played and don't get the 3 points if they win,i didn't finish the cups where it happened so i don't know if at the end of the cup the problem solves itself but i think it's a bug that has to be fixed
Hey Joshua, I really like your website, but do you think you will ever add like fights, or like a MOTM thing maybe? Thanks!

9 goals thriller...
Hello is there a way I can transfer stats from across cups? For example, goals, assists, yellow cards, injuries that are recorded on one cup could be incorporated to a new cup. For continuity purposes or something like that.
Hi! I found a bug that was in a link to a match, that was published here by MANUDAGOATS one day ago. When I was seeing the standings, this showed up. How Manchester City is 19th place when is actually in the first place?

Hey Joshua, are you ever gonna give us the possibility to put 3-6 teams in a group?
Hello everyone, is it possible to hide the match odds from the match page?
This match was crazy! https://matchsimulator.com/match/2d4d44dd57a8666f/brentford-vs-manchester-city
Hello Joshua ! So first thank you for this really good website you are working on ! It is a real pleasure to see the work behind, and the power of it ! The question (or remark) I have, is that can it be possible to create teams with a raking, without adding players in it ? I think that the answer is no, but do you think it can be possible in the future ? Because I want to create a customized pack, about a fantasy football world (Inazuma Eleven in this case), but I can't rate the teams, so the games are not simulated, which is normal with the actual system. If I want to create a real competition with it, how many players (at least) I need to create for each team ?
Maybe I'm the only one to like the idea to rate a team without adding any players inside to play without taking to much time to create them (close to 800 players for my pack), but I think it can be an improvement ...
Thank you for your answer, have a nice day !
Hi Joshua, I have an idea for a new tournament format, it could be called: "Playoffs and league". It consists of the standings of a league from the previous year, so that playoffs are made that face the one that finished first against the one promoted from the lower division as 3rd, the second against the promoted as second, the 3rd against the champion of the lower league, 4th against the 17th (it would be a league of 20), etc. To do this, you would have a menu to place the positions from "last season", and, once the matchups are adjusted, they face each other in a double match and the winners will go to the "championship league" and the losers to the "relegation league" and there would be two independent leagues of 10 teams each, thanks.
In a league table could you add an option to see a table with just position, team name, games played, points and form?

Real Madrid...
I'm using this to pit my Match Attax teams against each other. I would really appreciate if more stats were added (I know its difficult to implement). For example, I'd love to see saves, clean sheets, successful dribbles, etc
Hello, i want to ask you. If I changed tne raiting of player, but didnt change any other stats (shoooting, passing, etc), does it make sense to choose "beta" when I create a new cup? (quite strange question, but id like to know anyway)
Can you add details for cards, for example if your given a yellow card under the card it should give a reason. And can you give more info for when a goal is scored like for example, counter attacks and bicycle kick goals
I have 3 ideas i will be happy if you add them but its ok if you dont:
1, Add a MVP in a match and match ratings
2, Add a maybe like a button to simulate a cup all without simulating matches one by one so it doesnt take like a hour
3, Add the Czech League because it is in the top 10 leagues in the world and in like FC 25 for example you dont have it and not even here so please make it

Hi Josh, here's some of my ideas for improving the simulator:
1. Adding the Czech League
Apart from the teams in Europe in 24-25 (Sparta, Slavia, Plzeň And Mladá Boleslav) the league Is absent. I'm currently working on a mod to add the other 12 teams, but considering it's a top 10 european League (better than Poland, Scotland...) I think it would be a great adition.
2. Adding Clean sheets to the Stats page for goalkeepers And appearences for all players
3. Adding "Recommended rotation"
In edit Line-ups rotation Is Very useful in a disbalanced fixture. But sometimes it can be hard to estimate how much to rotate without weakening the team too much. So I'd add "recommended rotation" which would be the ideal rotation ratio for the specific oponent they were playing.
4. Adding Play-offs
Many Leagues have Title/Middle/Relegation play-offs after the Regular round-robin League part (Czech republic, Scotland, Denmark, Austria, Belgium), during which the League Is divided into different parts based on League position And then play each other Once or twice within the group, adding to their overall points total.
5. Adding Match ratings And MOTM
After each match it would be cool to see player ratings /10 And the one with the highest would receive man of the match. Number of MOTM awards or average match rating could then be shown in the Stats page.
6. Giving teams a bye to the next round
Let's say I have a 3 team knock-out elimination tournament which starts with a play-off between two teams. The winner plays the Third team in the final. That's Very good, exept you can't choose which team automaticaly advances to the final.
7. Adding VAR to matches
Imagine you score And then VAR dissallows it for offside. Or give a penalty against you. Infuriating, but realistic! :)
8. Adding the option of a 2-legged final
Some competitions, like the CAF Champions League play the final over 2 legs, at home, And Away. It would be interesting to have this option.
9. Adding "tiebreakers"
If two teams Finish on level points, their position Is Always decided by goal difference. Many Leagues use different tiebreakers like H2H. Could be given As An option when creating a tournament.
10. Increased Chance of red cards in derby matches
Each team could have a preset rival/rivals (Barcelona - Real Madrid/Espanyol) And in H2H matches the red card rate would be higher.
Obviously not all of these suggestions Are necessary And I don't know how realistic they Are, but I think they would even further improve an already great platform. Please let me know which ones you like And which ones could be made Real.
What are the ratings of players and clubs that are not in FIFA based on? Where is the information taken from? Thanks!
Hi Joshua! Maybe you can use the Elo ratings (used in FIFA World rankings) to determine team strengths and use it as an important factor for match outcomes. A team like Argentina with an Elo of 2000 is more likely to beat a team with an elo of below 1500 with a big margin of goals for example.
I have built a 3x3 Basketball Match Simulator that also uses Elo ratings. As two coding passionates you can have a look on my project at: www.3x3simulator.com (not finished).
Hello, does anyone get the bug that after a double match on quick matches when you get out of the result you can not type new teams because old ones suddently spawn and you have to first delete them then after write down new ones.
When a card is handed out I think it would be good if there is a specific reason to why for example dissent, kicking the ball away after a foul and stuff like that it would make the game your simulating more realistic
Guys, I need help... I was using a pack and I think it got removed. Now all my cups are broken :(. I don't know what to do... someone pls help
Great Website, and thanks for putting so much effort and time into it. You should add fights/brawls, lots of games, I see yellow cards and reds stacked up minute after minute, on both teams, like what would happen in a fight.
Do you know if it's possible to add a feature where all matches for a matchday could be simulated? As I'm playing a cup, it usually takes a long time to simulate them all individually.
Would you ever consider making match simulator matches 3d
could you add stadiums for the new season, so as you can customize where quick matches or finals are played and when creating a new club have a bit where you can add their stadium.

Um, can I ask that whenever I returned back to a few games, most of them only show the standing and comments(where are the line-up, summary, feed, stats)
Hi 2 things. First, is it possible to combine the club transfers and edit players feature. its difficult to go back and forth. Second, we should have a feature to see which players are a card away from suspension, would help with lineups.
