That 1 player in season 26 was Franco Torres of Adowa Accra FC where he managed 7 goals in just 9 appearances for him to finish 8th in scoring.

In season 25 he did not make any appearances.

in season 24 he got 9 goals in 14 appearances which was good enough for 4th overall in goals scored for Addowa Accra FC.

In season 23 he managed 5 goals in 14 appearances and finished tied for 9th position for PS Jakarta.

This season (27) Franco Torres is back at it with 5 goals in 10 appearances which is good enough for 7th position.

Needless to say this player gets himself onto the top 10 list if he gets the opportunity for any of his clubs. It will be interesting to see if his top 10 streak can be broken anytime in the future.

Total for 4 seasons of play: 47 appearances, 26 goals, 2 different clubs. 4 Seasons in top 10 for total goals.]]>

Bergmann: It hurts, there were some unfortunate losses within this streak which could have been avoided, but at this point its a lot about us. We got into our own heads, didn't play the way we know we can and threw away what was a decent start to the season.

Interviewer: Sitting just two points above North Shore United in second to last place. Next week is your bye week which confirms your fate is no longer in you own hands. You need Krung Thep to draw or win against North Shore United next Matchday to secure the relegation playoffs and avoid direct relegation. You would either face Inter London or Cairo in the playoffs. How confident are you that you will be able to beat them?

Bergmann: As you said, getting to the playoffs is no longer in our hands, so we will be watching the upcoming match between North Shore and Krung Thep with a kean interest. If we manage to get into the playoffs, I believe we can win against either team. A rematch against Inter London would certainly be interesting, especially considering we played them in a friendly before this season started and had a fairly close game. It could go either way. Cairo are on a strong run of form, but they are not unbeatable. Let's wait, see and hope we get the chance.

Interviewer: Alright, thank you for your time and good luck.]]>

They were just going out for a meal, and this was the best street restaurant near their parents’ stalls. “Of course. See you soon!”

Arriving on Soi 9 felt strange in several ways. It was the first time Joe was back, and part of him felt like nothing had changed at all as his ride entered the street. The restaurant was still there, and the space that held a little gang of street dogs remained empty. Who knows, at this rate, the same dogs might even have been hanging around. Stranger was the act of arriving into the soi by car. Thinking back, this was likely the first time Joe had done so, and a part of him was hoping that neither his father nor his sister would witness his arrival.

Stepping out into the scorching sun, Joe took a moment to look around. Just then, he saw three people walking out from the pavement and onto the street a little further down. Joe’s younger sister pointed at him and waved, prompting his dad to also lift a hand in greeting. Once they caught up, they greeted an auntie who showed them a pair of metal tables surrounded by plastic chairs of a type that Joe had mostly seen in gardens since moving to Hungary. Four menus were dropped on the tables, and the group ordered a number of dishes to be shared among them in the heat. This wasn’t the first time Joe had eaten at this little street restaurant, but the couple of times he’d been here before had also been on special occasions, such as when his school football team had qualified for the regional championships, and when his sister Pim had been accepted into the middle school she’d been aiming for. It seemed like this place would remain that way, a sort of place of celebration.

The group took their time chatting away as their bellies gradually filled. Tok nudged Pim to tell Joe and Sem about her recent exam results; apparently, she had done significantly better than Joe had a few years prior. Other than that, the three made themselves more of an audience as they requested tales from Joe’s adventures overseas. They asked about the animals he’d seen during his time in Africa, and about the food in Hungary. The sort of things that they hadn’t found the time to talk about at the hotel before the match. That part really was the strangest of all: even though he was right here, in his hometown and next to his family and friends, Joe hardly had a moment to spend with them. And not necessarily because he didn’t have time to spare. Rather, it was a matter of how the players were allowed to move around. There was a strict schedule. Other than training, tactics meetings, team meals, and of course the match itself, they were supposed to rest. For Joe, that meant spending time catching up with friends and family, but the club staff held opinions that differed from his, instead urging the players to stay at the hotel. This was an eternal field of battle, for many of the players would much prefer sightseeing when they were fortunate enough to travel around the world, but doing so risked tiring them out. Joe had been allowed to make an exception and spend a couple of hours with his family on this one afternoon. Sem, being in the neighbourhood, had joined them.

Following the meal, the four had decided to walk down to the corner of Soi 10 and Soi 11 where Tok’s stall usually stood in front of 7/Eleven. There really hadn’t been too much change. The parking lot on the left was still mostly empty behind a tarnished green gate, and although a couple of shops had changed, the building on the right-hand side was the same as it had been two years earlier. Occupied by the conversation, Joe forgot to check if Leo, the street dog he’d been afraid of when he had first walked this part of the street on his own, was still there.

After making the five-minute walk down to the usual corner, Joe was greeted by what felt like every uncle and auntie in the neighbourhood. It was as though there were even more than he could remember, yet the moment he laid eyes upon any of them, their names returned to him. This was his second home, and Tok’s element where he quickly took charge, practically parading his son to his friends in jest.

Having met everyone for such a short time only served to strengthen Joe’s determination. He had to come back in a few weeks when the season was officially over. After all, it felt so strange getting to say hi to a couple dozen of people he knew, only to have to leave before he really got to talk to any of them. Not to mention the fact that he hadn’t even had the pleasure of greeting his own friends. Even if he’d been able to give a few of them tickets to the match, all he knew about their experience with the match came from Sem’s retelling of things.

After returning to the hotel, the team had shared dinner, and Joe was back in the room he shared with Sei, which at this point was halfway filled with various snacks he’d been given to bring back to Hungary, however he was supposed to accomplish such a feat. When he’d tried telling Tok that he would be back soon, he’d insisted that he bring them. “Then just give them as souvenirs to your friends!” he’d argued. It wasn’t too clear whether that was because he was very insistent that Joe share his culture with his teammates and whatever other friends Tok imagined him to have, or if it was just a matter of being unwilling to store them for the time that would pass before Joe’s return to Thailand a few weeks later.
At first, Joe had kept the fact that he would be spending his summer holidays here from Tok so he could surprise him by showing up at his door, but given the limited time they’d spent together, he’d let the secret slip. At least seeing Tok try his best to pretend that it wasn’t a big deal in front of his friends had made for a funny moment of its own. Managing the first few steps of pretence a little too well had backfired on Tok, as one of his drinking buddies remarked on his apparent disinterest in his own son, the great football star, and his willingness to spend a grand fortune on flying across the world just to see his dear father, a remark that, however much of a joke it was intended as, had made Tok appear just poorly enough that he’d struggled between showing excitement at his son’s holiday plans and the cool façade that he had decided was part of fatherhood. It was just a little reminiscent of a teenager denying their interest in someone they felt attracted to in front of their friends, simultaneously trying to not be so dismissive as to lose their chances with said person.

Boarding the airplane, all that remained now was a few days of meetings, PR duties that Joe knew little about, and then he would finally be able to spend real time with friends and family. Not to mention all of the foods that were going to be on the menu with loosened restrictions.]]> Joe wasn’t entirely sure what his friend meant.

Benjamin Munro follows in third with 7.80 while Zach Mulder and Ryan O'Neill sit fourth and fifth on 7.76 and 7.75 respectively. Greg Evil follows on 7.68 with Chris McZehrl just behind on 7.63.
LONDON SUPERSUB takes eighth with 7.60 followed by Juliette Greer on 7.57. Yoma Hashimoto rounds out the top ten on 7.55.

Cotswold is the clear leader here with a 0.53 gap between first and tenth. The rest of the top ten is much more closely matched though with only 0.34 separating Matt Stro in second from Yoma Hashimoto in tenth.

Dribbles
Dribbles shows us which players are taking on their opponents and trying to make things happen with the ball at their feet. Ignignokt leads the way with 41 dribbles, a full 10 ahead of Juliette Greer in second on 31.

[Image: e5PCzw.jpg]

Ekon Ayo follows in third with 29 while Meisho Doto, Xuxu Jang, Scorp E. Unshark and Tadgh O'Hurley are all tied on 27. Remi Taarel and Rigby Emerson share eighth with 26 while Captain MetalBeard rounds out the top ten on 25.

Ignignokt is the clear standout here ith a sizeable gap over the rest of this statistic. The remaining nine players are much more closely matched with just 6 dribbles separating Greer in second from Captain MetalBeard in tenth. Someone might want to tell Ignignokt that passing is also an option.

Attempted passes
Attempted passes shows us which players are getting involved in their team's build-up play and distributing the ball most frequently. Le Chonk leads the way with 611 attempted passes, narrowly ahead of Resetti Moretti on 606. Diglett Primarus follows in third with 591.

[Image: 9y8vhp.jpg]

Van Jertonghen sits fourth with 580 while Mecha Zilla follows on 549. Sadie Black and Damian DeSoto are closely matched in sixth and seventh with 534 and 532 respectively. Tyson Blaze, Pope Francis and Dr Squid round out the top ten with 530, 529 and 521 attempted passes.

The top three are particularly close with just 20 passes separating Le Chonk from Diglett Primarus. The ranking gets a little more spread out after that but even tenth place Dr Squid is only 90 passes behind the leader. Plenty of passing going.

Successful passes
Successful passes shows us which players are completing the most passes and helping their teams keep possession. Le Chonk narrowly leads the way with 553 successful passes, just one ahead of Resetti Moretti on 552. Diglett Primarus follows in third with 542.

[Image: UyCuXx.jpg]

Van Jertonghen sits fourth with 525 while Mecha Zilla rounds out the top five on 511. Dr Squid follows in sixth with 468, just two ahead of Damian DeSoto on 466. Isaiah Ali sits eighth with 450 followed by Pope Francis on 449 and Alex Stain on 446.

The top three are incredibly close with just 11 passes separating Le Chonk from Diglett Primarus. There's a bigger drop after Mecha Zilla in fifth with the top five all clearing 500 successful passes while the remaining players fall below that mark.

Progressive passes
Progressive passes shows us which players are most frequently moving the ball forward and helping their teams advance up the pitch. Meisho Doto leads the way with 89 progressive passes, nine clear of Captain MetalBeard in second on 80.

[Image: pEze3c.jpg]

Sadie Black follows closely in third with 79 while Jimothy Erickson sits fourth on 77.then a noticeable drop to Josh Harper on 63 followed by Thomas Schwarte on 62. Takaharu Suzuki and Joe Mormor are tied on 61 while Ekon Ayo and Scorp E. Unshark round out the top ten on 59 each.

Doto is the clear leader here with a nine pass gap over second place and 12 over Jimothy Erickson in fourth. The rest of the ranking is much more closely matched with five players between 59 and 63 progressive passes. Seems like Doto is rather fond of moving the ball forward.

Key passes
Key passes shows us which players are creating opportunities for their teammates with passes that could lead to a shot on goal. Yoma Hashimoto leads the way with 65 key passes, four ahead of Joe Mormor in second on 61.

[Image: qOjQbv.jpg]

Roquefort Cotswold follows in third with 47 while Chris McZehrl sits fourth on 45. Ryan O'Neill rounds out the top five with 40 followed by Jonathan Muńoz and Ignignokt who are tied on 34.
David Doug II, Hanibal Armaros and Santos Neymarinho complete the top ten with 33 key passes each.

Hashimoto and Mormor have created a bit of a gap at the top with both players comfortably ahead of Cotswold in third.

Attempted crosses
Attempted crosses shows us which players are most frequently trying to deliver the ball into dangerous areas from wide positions. Joe Mormor leads the way with 135 attempted crosses just four ahead of Yoma Hashimoto on 131.

[Image: gpXvcZ.jpg]

Sadie Black and Nick Kasak are tied for third with 96 crosses each followed by Roquefort Cotswold on 94. Stephan Lichsteiner sits sixth with 92 while STAR SCREAM follows on 90. Ignignokt and Chris McZehrl are closely matched on 88 and 87 respectively with Ryan O'Neill rounding out the top ten on 83.

Mormor and Hashimoto have put in a ridiculous number of crosses with both players well ahead of the rest of the ranking. The gap between second and third is a whopping 35 crosses. Hopefully some of those actually found a teammate rather than the first defender.

Successful crosses
Successful crosses shows us which players are actually finding their teammates with deliveries from wide areas rather than just crossing straight into a defender. Yoma Hashimoto leads the way with 45 successful crosses, narrowly ahead of Joe Mormor on 44.

[Image: L7J31c.jpg]

Roquefort Cotswold follows in third with 29 while Hanibal Armaros and Ryan O'Neill are tied on 25. Chris McZehrl sits sixth with 24 followed by Yoshisaur Munchakoopa and Ignignokt on 23 each. David Doug II records 21 while Meisho Doto rounds out the top ten with 20.

Hashimoto and Mormor are once again the clear leaders although this time there's only one successful cross separating them.

Chances created
Chances created shows us which players are doing the most to set up scoring opportunities for their teammates. Joe Mormor leads the way with 21 chances created four ahead of Roquefort Cotswold in second on 17.

[Image: PZzcVj.jpg]

Ryan O'Neill follows in third with 15 while Ekon Ayo and Yoma Hashimoto are tied on 13. Chris McZehrl, Jiang You and Kim Heung-Min all sit on 12 followed by Rigby Emerson and Xuxu Jang on 11 each.

Mormor is the clear leader here with a four chance gap over Cotswold and six over O'Neill in third. The rest of the ranking is much more closely matched with five players separated by just two chances.

Assists
Assists shows us which players have directly set up the most goals for their teammates with Chris McZehrl and Ryan O'Neill sharing the top spot on 6 assists each.

[Image: mILTRh.jpg]

Jiang You, Phil Space, Rigby Emerson and Roquefort Cotswold are all tied for third with 5 assists each. Josh Harper, Meisho Doto, Joe Mormor and Jack Pow complete the top ten with 4 assists a piece.

It's a very closely matched ranking with only two assists separating the top two from the eight players tied for third and seventh.

xA (Expected Assists)
xA (expected assists) estimates how many assists a player would be expected to record based on the quality of the chances created by their passes. Joe Mormor leads the way with 7.15 xA putting him 0.57 ahead of Chris McZehrl in second on 6.58.

[Image: qKfUNE.jpg]

Roquefort Cotswold follows closely in third with 6.48 while Yoma Hashimoto and Ryan O'Neill sit fourth and fifth on 5.54 and 5.41 respectively. Kairo Vox follows on 4.43 just ahead of Ignignokt on 4.35. Howie Dewitt sits eighth with 3.79 followed by Kim Heung-Min on 3.66 and Alex Peña on 3.64.

Mormor leads the way but the top three are fairly closely matched with just 0.67 separating first from third. There's a more noticeable drop after Cotswold with Mormor's 7.15 xA sitting 1.61 above Hashimoto in fourth.

Predicted assists
Predicted assists gives us an indication of how many assists they will have made at the end of the season, based on my scientifically proven 100% accurate made algorithm. Chris McZehrl leads the way with 9 predicted assists, one ahead of Ryan O'Neill, Yoshisaur Munchakoopa and Rigby Emerson who are all tied on 8.

[Image: rtxTKz.jpg]

Jiang You and Roquefort Cotswold follow on 7 predicted assists each. Ignignokt, Joe Mormor, Jack Pow and Meisho Doto round out the top ten with 6 each.

Passing impact model
The passing impact model gives us a broader look at how much a player's passing contributes to their team's play, again based on my scientifically proven 100% accurate made algorithm. Joe Mormor leads the way with an impressive score of 33.55, putting him 1.80 points ahead of Yoshisaur Munchakoopa in second on 31.74.

[Image: 7LrQZC.jpg]

Yoma Hashimoto follows in third with 26.30 while Chris McZehrl sits fourth on 21.75. Roquefort Cotswold and Meisho Doto take fifth and sixth with 19.40 and 18.51 respectively. Ignignokt and Ryan O'Neill are closely matched on 18.18 and 17.89 followed by Kim Heung-Min on 16.32. Josh Harper rounds out the top ten with 14.84.]]> <![CDATA[SSL Season 27 Minor Division II Matchday 12 and 13 from my POV]]> https://forum.simulationsoccer.com/showthread.php?tid=10921 Sun, 11 Oct 2026 17:20:04 +0100 Jakesdy]]> https://forum.simulationsoccer.com/showthread.php?tid=10921 Let’s get started!

Matchday 12 vs Athênai F.C.
The match against Athênai F.C. went very well for us. We won 3–0, keeping a clean sheet in the process. Dennis van Huntelrooy (13' and 90+3') and Kim Heung-Min (85') scored for our team, while Vyacheslav Shevchenko (me) and Rodiano Santori provided the assists.
Match statistics:
Shots - Athênai F.C.: 10, Seoul: 16
On Target - Athênai F.C.: 2, Seoul: 6
xG - Athênai F.C.: 1.26, Seoul: 3.08
Possession - Athênai F.C.: 51%, Seoul: 49%
Passes Completed - Athênai F.C.: 87% (391/452), Seoul: 84% (372/445)
Overall, despite having equal possession and time on the ball, we outperformed our opponents in creating and converting scoring chances, which is what secured us the win. I played an excellent match, earning a 7.3 rating, covering 14.9 km, and scoring one assist.

Matchday 13 vs AF Masques Sacrés
Overall, it was an evenly matched game. This is reflected in both the 1–1 scoreline and the statistics (which follow below). Dennis van Huntelrooy scored for our team in the 85th minute, assisted by Kim Heung-Min.
Match stats:
Shots - Seoul: 11, AF Masques Sacrés: 11
On Target - Seoul: 2, AF Masques Sacrés: 4
xG - Seoul: 1.86, AF Masques Sacrés: 1.21
Possession - Seoul: 46%, AF Masques Sacrés: 54%
Passes Completed - Seoul: 84% (373/446), AF Masques Sacrés: 85% (446/525)
I played a great game - an 8 rating and 14.6 km covered. I also received the Player of the Match award.

Overall, the performances haven't been bad, but unfortunately, we can no longer talk about contending this season. We dropped too many points in matches where we should have played better. Still, I hope we give it our all in the remaining games and deliver a great result for our fans.

A little less succesfull in USP, by no means did we have a bad season, we were competing for the title for a large part of the season. We just did not perform in the matches we really needed too, losing some points we probably should not have. Especially losing in the cup against Liffey hurt a lot (extra so because they beat us in the league just before killing our chances there too). However I remain hopeful for next season. I think we have come to a point in the league where you do not need to have the highest tpe at all in order to win. You just need to have a couple lucky breaks and you can be the one lifting the trophy.

Next season we will be back stronger!

We just did not perform in the matches we really needed too, losing some points we probably should not have. Especially losing in the cup against Liffey hurt a lot (extra so because they beat us in the league just before killing our chances there too). However I remain hopeful for next season. I think we have come to a point in the league where you do not need to have the highest tpe at all in order to win. You just need to have a couple lucky breaks and you can be the one lifting the trophy.

Next season we will be back stronger!

Paris will be defending their title and USP will reclaim their spot on the top.

For the team that is left in the playoff berth, they will either be facing Reykjavik United or Liffeyside Celtic, with both these sides fighting it out between them who will drop to division 2 and who will fight for the right to stay put and live there for at least another season.

Still so much to play for with high stakes across the league tables, it should make for an unmissable final match day when we finally find out who hoists that league title high, who has to play 1 more game to get promoted and which team has to drop down a division after a season of disappointment. BRING IT ON!]]>

Of course, it is not enough to simply move faster. I must also move wiser. I must also develop the ability to change directions quickly, to keep the ball under control as I move, and to see which movement is the best decision. Some of this is difficult to train alone, and I must rely on team training sessions to develop it. But other things... Other things I can do by myself. So I have done agility drills, dribbling around cones, all these things. It was not until I returned to my room yesterday night that I realised I wanted nothing more than to play on a concrete pitch like the ones we had in France. Sometimes, inside the steel cages, all of these things I need to improve, are tested.]]>

For those who don’t know, Dom’s player is called His Cheeseburger and he plays Left Back or Left Defense for SD Guayaquil and he has had quite the impressive rookie season for the minor league club. As you can see from his statistics below, he has been an integral part of the club as they have surprised many pundits so far this season. The below stats are through 9 games.

Average Rating: 7.03
Goals: 1
Assists: 1
Shots on Target: 3
Passing %: 79.7
Key Passes: 10
Crossing %: 11.11
Chances Created: 4

Dribbles: 16
Tackle %: 68.42
Key Tackles: 1
Interceptions: 22
Clearances: 24
Blocks: 10
Shots Blocked: 6

As you can see Mr Cheeseburger has done a little bit of everything for the Condors. He may not be leading the league in any one key area, but he can certainly be considered a Cheeseburger with the lot.

In all seriousness, I couldn’t be happier with the performance of both teams on and off the pitch so far this season, and I know we have some more points in us yet. We may not win the games, but we will do our best to steal points each week and make sure people see us as a challenge. One thing is for sure, you’ll leave the matches against these teams feeling like you’ve been pushed. The draft is fast approaching and scouting is in full swing, it won’t be long before we are welcoming some fresh faces to the org.]]>
