Welcome to The Matchday Digest! There are plenty of new subscribers this week to the newsletter, so thank you for joining and welcome!

Thank you for the incredible support so far!

_{If this is not for you, there is an unsubscribe button at the bottom of the email, but you’ll miss all the FusionSim updates and Premier League projections come the start of the season…}

Firstly, I want to take a moment to apologise for all the issues people may have had during sign-up. To cut a long story short, the email service I used broke due to the volume of signups and so it took abit of time to fix it.

But now let’s get into the real updates!

FusionSim 1.1

I should be shipping the first update to FusionSim today (Friday 1st August 2025) here’s what is in store! Here are the two main new features,

🚀 Simulator

_{Like the generator, but this time simulate up to 10,000 seasons based on custom inputs}

You can use custom team strengths from currently just the Premier League to see how changing the strengths of teams changes their likelihood of finishing where. Meaning, if you think I rate a team too high or low, you can adjust their strength and see how it changes their probabilities over thousands of simulations.

This will be available exclusively to Pro and Pro+ users for the first week, while I collect feedback, and will then be a free feature from then on. Every time you run it, it will cost 1 credit, regardless of the number of simulations.

Below are some screenshots,

🟩 Simdle

_{It’s Wordle but for Football probabilities}

The goal of this first of many mini game modes, was to give users a way to earn some free credits each day. As the subtitle suggests, it’s like Wordle but with a current football probability.

So the example below shows, What is currently 85.9% likely?

You have 4 inputs to guess:

• League - Currently, this is just the top 5 English leagues, grey if incorrect, orange if you’re one league away, and green is correct.

• Club - Green if correct, orange if that team is close alphabetically, and grey if far away alphabetically.

• Function - Higher than, Lower than or Equal to.

• Position - Any from 1st to 24th, it is orange if you’re close and gives you a small arrow so you head in the right direction.

It then also gives you the current probability of your guess so you know if you’re thinking in the right ballpark.

Other

There is also alot of other small changes and big fixes. Thank you to all the people who have already reached out with small things they spotted it!

The EFL Cup page is also ready to go live when the full first round is complete.

Thank you for reading and thank you again for the mind-blowing support so far on this project, and I am working every day to continue to add more features and improve it!
