MatchForge is a new association football (soccer) scorinator I’ve been working on over the past week or so. You can simulate a match at matchforge.pages.dev.
The goal isn’t to compete with more established scorinators; rather, I’ve been looking into simulating Esfalsa’s domestic football leagues, wanted something that worked for my needs, and figured it wouldn’t hurt to share. The main features are:
- ease of access — it’s available with just a browser, no installation needed
- seedable results — the same seed produces the same results, so matches are repeatable and verifiable and so you can share your results just by copy-pasting the URL
- more match stats — currently expected goals, shots, shots on goal, conversion rate, and goal times
Possible directions of future development include:
- additional statistics such as possession, fouls, cards
- league scheduling, with propagation of team ratings
- cup scheduling, including extra time, penalties, and two-legged ties
Feedback and suggestions welcome! If you’re interested, the code is also available on GitHub.
