Thank you all for the support over the past year.
I love seeing how the app continues growing week by week. It's hard to do it since I'm just one person doing everything but your comments and reviews motivate me to continue developing the app.
Starting today, I share a way to
I will try to add a way to choose a theme color within the settings screen. Classic and Dark will be the same as now, but I will add Blue, Red, Green, Black, Gold, Brown, Violet and Pink options.
I have started the development of season creation functionality. Up to four divisions simulated simultaneously each one with a different format and automatic promotions for next year. It is difficult but I will try to add it during February. I'll try to answer all your mesg soon
My christmas gift is to see the simulator ranked as the top 6 sports app on Argentina playstore. It is pretty random and it will probably last just a few days but I am really glad. Users from other countries, can you check how the rank look?
A few improvements will be added at the league standings screen in the next update. Two buttons to navigate through the standings for each match day. Also, in leagues with only one zone, positions of each team will be shown at the match day screen.
A new way to create clubs in slots will be added in the next update. It is a way create clubs in countries or football confederations that are not in the app. After adding teams to a slot: leagues, national cups and seasons can be created. Up to 10 slots will be available.
I have uploaded the new update yesterday but it is still being reviewed by google. It usually only takes a few hours but it can take a few days as well. I hope it will be updated soon. Anyway, I have already started working on next week update.
Countries tournaments: a new option to edit rankings for each tournament will be added in the next update. In other update I will try to add it for clubs as well.
During the following months I will be working in parallel on match simulation in detail. The idea is to show highlights, fouls, cards, substitutions, stats and more. It will be a long process to simulate realistic matches and include it in the app. It is my main goal this year
New formats will be added when creating world cups, your club tournament and national cups: 128 teams with no groups, 160 teams with 40 groups and 200 teams with 50 groups.
Friends, I started the development of the "Tournament creator" functionality. Users can set a name, year and a few other attributes as well of creating many tournament instances and keep them saved. Of course, it is not easy but I will try to add it this month.
A new option to add a national cup will be added when creating seasons. It will also include a Super cup played between the first division champion and the national cup champion. It will be available for countries leagues and single country club leagues.
Another day improving and testing the detailed match simulation. Yellow cards, red cards, free kicks and penalty kicks. I will try to add this feature in a few months.
"Next season" option will be added after simulating a created league. It will copy the previous format and the user will have to replace the relegated teams.
128 teams world cup will be added in the next update. Format: 32 groups and only the first team qualifies to second round. I will start the development of Brazil Serie D soon.
I am working on players editor. Each team will have a different squad in each tournament. Players will have a name, number and a goal coefficient between 0 and 99. Users will be able to edit all the squads but I will try to provide default players for some teams.
A new option to select clubs by ranking when creating tournaments will be added. The clubs will be selected according to the confederation, rank and confederation ranking points.
A new world cups filter will be added. It will show or hide the created world cups among the original ones. Winner standings will be updated as well. Also, 2030 Spain-Portugal-Morocco world cup will be added.
Euro Cup Qualifiers creation will be added in the next update. The functionality will be enabled when creating an Euro Cup with 16 or 24 teams and no guests.
Penalty shootout details will be added in the next update. It won't be editable but I will try to add more details in the future like if it was saved by the goalkeeper or missed. It will work only when generating random results.
A new league format will be added in the next update: 64 teams with 8 zones and a 32 teams playoff. It is similar to the Brazil D league format. I will try to add a two zones format for 28 and 20 teams as well.
This is an example of a 4 divisions system with 3 promotions. When selecting 3 promotions the England, Spain and Italy formats can be selected. When selecting 2 promotions the Argentina 38 teams format is added. I would like to add the Brazilian 4 promotion system in other update
Tournament stats will be added in the next update. This is a Qatar 2022 test. I will try to show them in all the tournaments and to add more stats in future updates. I will update the app on Thursday probably.
A new Achievement screen will be added in the next update. It is not mandatory to complete all the achievements but I think that it is interesting for the user to track his progress within the app.
League improvements: match day filter added in final standings screen and delete button added in match day screen. Some teams ranking will change randomly when simulating club leagues. It will help to get different results as sometimes clubs perform better or worse than expected.
Another day improving and testing the detailed match simulation. Yellow cards, red cards, free kicks and penalty kicks. I will try to add this feature in a few months.

I have already uploaded the new update. It is pending Google approval. It will be available later today or tomorrow. A few new ads will be added as well since I need them to continue with the app development. Thanks for your support and help.
I am glad you liked the next features. That motivated me to also add one of the most requested feature: Countries regional cups creation. Copa America, Euro, Concacaf gold cup, Asia and Africa cup. It will work like the world cups creation. Hosts and guests will also be added.
New goal types will be added in the next update: Volley shot, From midfield, Back Heel shot (de taco) and Rabona. Also a new stat: "Best goal" which will be defined according to the type and also a bit randomness.

This leagues and national cups will be added in the next update: Dominican Republic, Ghana, Lebanon, Philippines, Senegal and Trinidad y Tobago. Also, more than 60 teams including Portugal, Romania, Russia, Scotland and other countries.
I updated the app yesterday. It is pending Google approval since then. Sometimes this process takes one hour and other times one day or more. I hope it will be available soon.
Friends, I am analyzing adding more tournament stats in the winners screen. What do you think about this? Total number of goals, % goal per match, biggest win, match with most goals. Any else?

Club tournaments: a new option to edit ranks for each tournament will be added in the next update. It works the same way that countries but with ranks instead of rankings.
Today I started the development of match highlights. The idea is to show information of the goals and other things. This is just a beta version and I do not know if I will include it in the next app update.
America cup 2024 squads will be added in the next update. Also, the leagues screen will have a new filter by country. In other update I will try to add more leagues in each country, green color when it is completed and the standings option.
The creation of regional club cups will be added in the next update. "Your Club Tournament" option represents the format that is currently available in the app. The other regional cups formats won´t be editable. However a max of 4 guests can be added in Ch League and Libertadores

The 36 teams Champions League format will be added in the next update. It includes a league system and then a playoff. The fixture is tricky since there are no examples. I will probably change it when the next champions league´s groups are drawn.
New ranks will be added: Gold B and C and Silver B and C. I wont use them but they will be enabled in the club editor. The French national cup 2024 will be added as well.
