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.

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?
0
Here's the standings:
0
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
Dortmund's Biggest Upset Ever!

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.

WHAT A CRAZY REDEMPTION FROM WALES!
Hi Joshua. Can you please make it so that it will be possible to create your own players, clubs, and teams for the 25/26 season?
Just curious, do y'all actually get some profit from this website or is it just pure fun
Came on got injured came off in the space of 2 mins😂

I have to admit I've transferred dioga Jota to an unknown team now as it's too painful to see him score etc. still very sad over the news
Hi! First of all, I just want to say the app is amazing and has great potential. But if you add the following features, it could become much more popular, realistic, and enjoyable for many users:
1. Add a realistic Manager Career Mode:
Include full control over training, tactics, match planning, transfers, loans, and squad management.
Allow users to manage both a club and a national team at the same time.
Add club tournaments in Manager Mode like:
FIFA Club World Cup (with a 32-team format, host country, and stadiums).
Intercontinental Cup for continental champions.
European Super Cup and many more club tournaments.
For national teams, include:
FIFA World Cup every 4 years, with host country and real stadiums.
EURO, Copa America, AFCON, CONCACAF.
World Cup qualifiers for each continent.
2. Add more advanced and realistic tactical systems:
Let users choose specific tactics for attacking, defending, passing style, pressing, and playing philosophy.
Add realistic player roles during matches (e.g. deep-lying playmaker, inverted winger, box-to-box midfielder).
3. Improve match simulation realism:
Make wins, draws, and losses depend on more realistic factors like:
Team strength and tactics
Stadium (home/away)
Weather conditions
Crowd support
Player morale
If you add these features, the app will easily become one of the best and most realistic football management simulations out there. It has huge potential! Thank you! 🙏⚽
Do you ever think we will be able to play matches for clubs v national teams
R.I.P Diogo Jota. Such a sad loss YNWA
R.i.p Diogo Jota 🕊️
I have a question, will the signings made prior to the club world cup be updated to the 24/25 edition or they would be included in the 25/26? Also, what about the transfers made in the current transfer market?
R.I.P. Diogo Jota🇵🇹 (1996 - 2025). You will always be remembered ❤️!

real 10-0 omg
Hey anyone can Give me the new transfer for 25/26. im gonna make a leage. i cant edit the packs i downloaded
yooooooooo joshua im a huge fan and ive been looking for somthing like this for over a year my sugestion is that you make maneger career mode and playr career mode thankes hope you can make this game even better
I wonder why the top teams play against the weakest teams but the results are often 3-0 2-0 4-0 when the actual score is probably more than 10. I have been a Match Simulator fan for over a year and I hope there will be an adjustment.
Hi Joshua, I've been a huge fan of Matchsim for at least a year now, and I love all the features. One thing that always sticks out to me, however, is that high rated players like 94 rated attackers dont score many more goals than other attackers, and I notice that goalscorers who score like 19 in the first half of a season always score so much less later on. Will you be making changes in the future so attackers will score more goals consistently?
Can you please add the following player creation options: "Pace", "dribbling", and "stamina"?
Thank you for your amazing work...i was wondering will you add more eurpean national team..??so far only 43 exist, the mod is fine but, without the flag..it felt something missing...thank you...
Is there a way to make an OP striker? I've tried to edit a striker to have 99 finishing. But he still struggled to score consistently and had fewer goals than players who are much worse than him (also, I've played him in every match.)
Awesome project! A possible addition would be a double elimination format. It's used nowhere in football, but it's a popular format in e-sports, including football simulations. This way, one can simulate a simulated football competition! ^_^
Can we please find a way to transport a pack with created players to new season. I have a pack from 2022-2023 with 500+ created players that wont intervene with any current players. I really want to transport it to new seasons.
Hey Joshua, bit of an issue I've had,
I'm trying to create some players and its either not saving or saying I'm not authorized to create a player
