Martell Looking For Opportunities

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 23:28:24 +0100

After a long, storied career with Hollywood FC, the time has come for Pete to make a decision. Does he retire with on the top with his lifelong team or does he keep playing the game he loves and try to help the next team as a grizzled vet who can help a team push for promotion or avoid relegation. The choice is yours (looking at you General Managers in the Majors). Pete Martell is open for business and ready to play striker or CAM for your team and give his all to continue accomplishing goals at the Majors level.

For Pete, he wants to keep chasing the thrill of scoring, winning matches, chasing promotions and winning Titles, and is excited for a chance to make new fans and meet new teammates. He has slowly climbed the goals scored ranks in league history and would love to get even higher before hanging the cleats up.

So to all you General Managers or Assistant General Managers reading this, give this old man who is at roughly 1400 (pre-regression) TPE a shot to help your team succeed and in return he’ll give you everything until the wheels fall off.

Hope to hear from you!

Liffey on Up!

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 16:34:18 +0100

Another season gone and Liffey has gone up! With a 10-1-4 season, Liffey easily cleared itself into first place in the second division to guarantee another season at top flight competition. It's not 1 for 1 but our expansion mates Xelajú Cósmico FC head on down to the second division after a 4-0 drubbing, and it looks like we'll have to wait another season to see where the organizations really found themselves after finding themselves as new teams in the SSL. For Rova, it was a bit of a disappointment, we started off strong but our TPE caught up to us, or the lack thereof. Rova (Go Wombats!) is a young team, the expansion path has had all the talent shuttle directly to the Majors, but our team has gotten to a good, level, averaging around 850 TPE all around, the league winning team, Inter London doesn't have more TPE< but they do seem to have it distributed in some great spike players who've done a great job to win the league. I think the goals were clearly to get both teams back into the first division of the Majors and Minors, we've been able to do that comfortably with the one that matters the most, the Liffey Division 1 campaign, but let's hope the Wombats can get there next season too! I'm not sure where ILoveZeagLe will play, most likely down another season, but at fifth in the TPE ranks for the team, hopefully ILoveZeagLe will be able to show the league why he was worth the pick he was taken at!

Catch up with Walker

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 12:28:28 +0100

We managed to catch up with Seoul Mythic striker Luke Walker to discuss what the upcoming off-season has in store for him.

Luke, great to meet you. Congratulations on your golden boot with Seoul Mythic. Now that the season is over, what are your plans?

A few weeks of rest and relaxation. After the long season of hard work you need to recover and thankfully a few sunny weeks away with the wife will do nicely. She's been a rock behind the scenes, so it's time to put football to the back of the mind and walk away from the pressures and stress before I start to prepare for next season.

You're famously a real hard worker during the off season, coming back in fantastic shape and making sure you are coming back better than ever and ready for pre-season, is this a small step away from that?

Absolutely not, you have to recover or that fatigue, those small knocks, those come back to bite you. If you think I'm just going to take it easy until next season you are deluded. Once I'm back, I'm locked in. I already know when and where I'll be improving my game, the team behind me have made sure of that. Next season will be a definitive season in my career and I intend to show this league what I can do and that there is nothing they can to stop me excelling.

How do you handle the pressure of always needing to improve? Can it be too much at times?

Not at all, I improve for the team but mainly I am improving for me. The team want me to be the best version of myself, I want to be the best version of myself. But if I don't do that, the team will move on and I will be annoyed at myself. End of the day I know I have the drive to be the best and want to be the best for myself. While the team will push me, I am already pushing myself hard to be better.

If you had to describe your off-season in three words, what would they be?

Rest, improve, conquer.

What message would you give to supporters ahead of the new campaign?

Good times are ahead. The management know how to bring the best out of the team and will continue their good work into next season and beyond. Soon we will be a fixture at the top of the table and it won't be a surprise, it'll be expected. Seoul Mythic are on the up and up, there is just no way to stop that upward trend.

The Great SSL Draft Debate: Talent vs Activity

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 11:35:10 +0100

The Great SSL Draft Debate: Talent vs Activity

Having spoken to the majority of OMs and Ams within the server the same debate becomes real...

Some people swear by TPE. Others swear by activity. Then there's the third group who spend three weeks arguing in scouting channels before eventually drafting somebody they met five minutes earlier because they posted a funny meme that made them belly laugh and that was enough for them to think yep they are the one for us!

With the latest SSL draft class now in the process of being selected by orgs, I wanted to dive deeper into the numbers and see what they actually tell us. Not just who has the highest TPE. Not just who has the most Discord messages. But who sits in that sweet spot where talent and activity collide.
I have spent a good few days building the holy grail of spreadsheets in practice for potentially my own draft board for future use when I am hopefully in a position to be inside a war room using my data facts as my reasons for who I feel would be right for the org I am in, which in turn has led me to writing this article! (Anyone who would like me to send them the spreadsheet reach out by DM now the draft is underway)

After digging through the data, one thing became clear almost immediately this class has some absolute grinders.

The Top End Is Ridiculously Strong
At the very top of the board sits Barry McGlynn.
He's not number one because of one single category. He's number one because he's good at everything.
417 TPE puts him near the very top of the class while his activity numbers completely blow everyone else away. Over 1,500 Discord messages means nobody can question his involvement. When you combine elite development with elite activity, you end up with the highest draft score in the class.
That's what makes prospects like Barry so valuable, you aren't projecting future engagement, you already have proof.
Right behind him are names like Dennis van Huntelrooy, Joshua Homme III Esquire Limited, Kairo Vox, Reece Munro and Joe Mormor.
What's interesting is that all of these players sit in a very similar TPE range. We're talking about differences so small they probably won't matter much long term.
The real separator starts becoming activity.
When everybody has done their tasks, everybody has trained properly and everybody has built strong players, organisations start looking for reasons to split hairs.
Activity becomes one of those reasons.

The Kairo Vox Situation
As somebody who naturally paid attention to this section of the board first, Kairo Vox has quietly put together one of the strongest profiles in the entire class.
416 TPE is already elite but what really jumps off the page is the activity level.
655 messages places him among the most active prospects available and helps push him to fourth overall on the board.
The funny thing is that if you asked ten OMs what matters most, you'd probably get ten different answers, some would say fourth overall is fair.
Others would argue that activity like that should push him even higher. That's what makes draft discussions so interesting. Everybody sees the same spreadsheet but comes away with different conclusions.

The Activity Monsters
The biggest eye-opener wasn't actually the players at the top. It was the gap between active and inactive prospects. Some players are posting hundreds and hundreds of messages others are barely visible.
Take somebody like Jimothy Erickson 405 TPE is strong enough on its own, but more than 700 messages gives teams confidence that the player is genuinely invested. Compare that to players who have almost no Discord footprint and suddenly you start understanding why organisations care so much about activity.
Nobody wants to spend a high draft pick on somebody who disappears three weeks later. The best ability in a sim league has always been availability.

The STAR SCREAM Question
One of the most interesting names on the board is STAR SCREAM.
Fourth in TPE, tenth overall normally those numbers don't line up. The reason is obvious when you look at the activity data. Compared to other elite TPE earners, the message count is significantly lower. This creates one of the most fascinating draft discussions in the class. Do you trust the elite TPE production? Or do you worry about the lower activity profile? Different organisations will answer that question differently and that's exactly why mock drafts are usually wrong.

Hidden Risk Throughout The Class
Something else that stood out was the number of prospects carrying medium or higher risk flags not because they're bad players but because information becomes harder to verify. Unmatched Discord accounts, missing activity records and limited engagement create uncertainty. Take Owen Goal as an example, strong TPE.
Good player but with no reliable activity match available due to never joining the discord server, teams are forced to make decisions with incomplete information.
Scouts hate uncertainty, Org Managers hate uncertainty Draft boards absolutely hate uncertainty.
The less information available, the harder it becomes to justify a high selection.

Why Organisations Get This Wrong Every Year
Every draft class has a few prospects who slide way further than they should. Every draft class has a few prospects who get massively overdrafted. Usually it comes down to overreacting. Some teams become obsessed with TPE. Some teams become obsessed with activity. The smartest organisations look for balance.
A prospect sitting at 415+ TPE with strong activity numbers is probably safer than somebody at 420 TPE who never speaks. Likewise, somebody posting 2,000 messages isn't automatically a better pick if they're miles behind in development. Drafting isn't about finding the best number. It's about finding the best combination of numbers.

What The Data Really Tells Us
The spreadsheet uses a formula of 60% TPE and 40% activity.
Honestly? That feels pretty close to reality. TPE still drives player quality. Nobody is arguing against that but activity remains one of the strongest indicators that somebody is going to stick around, integrate into the community and continue developing after the draft. The players appearing near the top of this board aren't there by accident. They've earned it. Whether that's Barry McGlynn leading the pack, Dennis van Huntelrooy staying right on his heels, Joshua Homme III Esquire Limited putting up elite numbers, or Kairo Vox building one of the strongest all-round profiles in the class, the common theme remains the same.
They're active. They're developing. And they're giving organisations reasons to believe.

Final Thoughts
If this draft has taught me anything, it's that talent alone isn't enough to decide how good a pick you are or how well you have built your player to fit into an academy team. The days of quietly farming TPE and disappearing into the shadows are mostly gone. The most valuable prospects are the ones showing up every day. Talking, posting, engaging building relationships, helping create locker room culture because eventually every prospect reaches a similar TPE range.
When that happens, organisations start drafting people not spreadsheets and that's why activity might be the most underrated draft statistic in SSL today.

Draft results leaked

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 11:21:27 +0100

Hahahah MADE YOU LOOK.

Anyway, I got the idea of this article/post from an event that I participated in in the ISFL. Basically it was some web based hunger games simulation thingy. They would add people to it and let it run, in the end you would have 1 person left. I thought it would be fun to have a more SSL themed one. Basically I will have it pull all the (active) academy players from the API. It will use their actual stats and then just simulate through the days. There are events, items, alliances can be formed. At the end we will get a nice draft overview of pick 1 through 48. Now I have used AI to help me build the Python apllication (mostly all the text based thing because I did not want to spend hours on this its just for fun.) So please do not grade any of the actual game. I will however use this little blurb as my PT for this week.

So everyone please get ready, sharpen your axes, spend those last TPE points because the first Seasonal Rookie Draft Hunger games is about to begin. What do they say again? May the odds be ever in your favor!

Academy Team of the Season – Part 1 (TPE)

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 10:30:25 +0100

Academy Team of the Season – Part 1 (TPE)

The season has drawn to an end, titles have been won and lost, and so I thought now would be a good time to wrap things up nicely in preparation for the incoming Draft.
I wanted to chuck together some teams of the seasons. I say ‘teams’ because there are a few different ways I can do this. One being a team based on the highest TPE players, and one based on the Average Rating of each player, which I think would be an interesting comparison, and we can also get a sense of how important (or not) TPE actually is and if it correlates to performances on the pitch.
This one will be the TPE one, as, as of right now, the Index still isn’t quite accurate, so I’ll have to leave the Average Rating one for another time.

For this, I’m also going to be grouping RWB/RD, LWB/LD, RAM/RM and LAM/LM together, to make my life a bit easier, as well as basing the choices solely off their Primary positions as it started to frazzle my brain trying to fit everyone in, and in a formation that’s not completely batshit crazy. I’m also going to pick some players across most positions as a sort of subs bench, so we can get more names on the board, as although coming 2nd gets you nowhere, it does get you into this article!

So without further ado, let’s crack on.

Team of the Season: Based on highest TPE (3-1-2-3-1 Formation...):

GK - Moew EnBach (407 TPE):
The Stockholm ‘keeper is the first name on the team-sheet and is currently the highest-rated goalkeeper in the class.

RWB - Christopher Bergmann (412 TPE):
The German wing-back comes in as our first outfield player.

CD - Jimothy Erickson (427 TPE):
Big Jim rocks up as the highest rated CD and will keep that backline impenetrable.

LWB - Joshua Homme III Esquire Limited [boosting that word count, cheers mate] (433 TPE):
Currently, at the time of writing, one of 5 players sharing the overall TPE top-spot.

CDM - S Sei (430 TPE):
The defensive midfielder did a rock-solid job, and the defenders behind him will surely have an easier life with Sei in front of them.

CM - Reece Munro (433 TPE):
The Port Royal midfield maestro finished the season as the Class’ highest rated central midfielder along with STAR SCREAM.

CM – STAR SCREAM (433 TPE):
Joining Reece in the central midfield positions is STAR SCREAM, who is also one of the ‘Big 5’

RAM - Jack Pow (420 TPE):
I sneak in to the team purely down to less options in this position. I could’ve played another LAM here, I could’ve also played most of the bench here, but it’s my article so shurrup. ;)

CAM - Barry McGlynn (431 TPE):
Everyone’s shoe-in for 1OA pick in the Draft, Barry who has been top of the class regularly throughout the season cements his spot as the team’s central attacking midfielder.

LAM – Joe Mormor (433 TPE):
Joe just edges it in a what I’d consider to be one of the most stacked positions, talent-wise, alongside Nick Kasak and Kairo Vox.

ST - Dennis van Huntelrooy (433 TPE):
Dennis comes in as the team’s number 9 and the highest rated striker of the class, as well being one of the five joint-top-rated overall.

And here's how it looks on paper:

Subs (Honourable Mentions):

GK – Umaq Yupanqui (405 TPE)

RWB – Alex Pena (406 TPE)

CD – Saphira Brightscales (401 TPE)

CDM – Ignignokt (404 TPE)

LAM – Nick Kasak (431 TPE)

LAM – Kairo Vox (430 TPE)

CAM – Mullet Man (401 TPE)

ST – Dante Von Wolfe (421 TPE)

ST – Owen Goal (420 TPE)

So there we have it, a formidable team that would win the lot I think you’ll agree! Kasak, Vox and Wolfey are unfortunate to miss out, but I had to think of the team guys, think of the balance. But no, seriously, you all deserve to be in there, but you do have a place in my heart, which i personally think is even better. I might try putting together the Average rating Team of the Season next week if the Index gets fixed! Cheers for reading, and good luck in the Draft everyone!

The off season has begun. While this is not my first sim league off season, it is my first SSL off season. Right now, all off seasons feel very long. I imagine it is a good indicator if you feel anxious to get started.

One of the things I really like about this league is the State of the League announcements. The other league I am in stopped doing these for whatever reason. I think these announcements are an important tool to help users understand where the league is going and what the team is working on to improve the league. It has me looking forward to what is coming here. As a relatively new sim leaguer, I have not participated in major league changes before.

I am really excited for expansion. I am especially interested to see how teams plan and strategize for it starting with this coming draft class. What decisions will teams make in this draft in preparation for the coming expansion draft? Which players will they protect? How will the expansion teams build their rosters? While I might not be in the war room for those discussions, I am hopeful teams will share their strategies after expansion in some sort of a retrospective.

Something that is already happening that I am excited for is the draft. As I understand this is the second largest class of all time. After looking at all the mocks, it really seems like there is not much consensus even in the first round. The draft presentation cannot come quick enough.

All this to say, I barely just got here and there is already so much to look forward to.

Self-Scouting with Saphira Brightscales/Pidgey

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 18:54:37 +0100

Hey guys! We're right in the middle of scouting season so I thought I might do a little self-scouting to make the jobs of all the Managers around the league just a little bit easier. I'll pick out the main questions that I ask in the DSFL, and the main questions I have seen so far in the scouting conversations I have had here in the SSL and try to get them answered so that the OM/AMs have one less person thay have to worry about a DM chain with!

What brought you to the SSL?

So, I'm a GM for the DSFL Minnesota Grey Ducks over in the ISFL. I felt like there was a LOT of users in the other of the sim leagues, and the other DSFL GMs had a leg up on me scouting the new users from these other leagues. I mainly created so that I wouldn't get left behind in scouting since the other teams had GMs established in these other leagues.

Why did you pick CD? Are you set in wanting to play as a CD?

I chose CD because I had heard there was a lack of them in the S26 Academy class, and I figured I may as well try a position that not as many people seemed to want to try out. I am not set in wanting to play anything! I will re-roll to the needs of whatever team drafts me!

What kind of earner will you be in the SSL? How will you maintain earning in the SSL?

Max earner for sure! I plan to use this league as my main league for PTs so that I can get the pay here, but also the TPE in the ISFL, and I plan to put out a few media articles, and at least one mock draft per season to be able to keep up with my max earning.

Do you have any goals for Saphira?

My only goal for Saphira is 2k+ TPE! I couldn't care less about the stats or accolades, I just want to be the best player for my team, and I can control that by consistently earning at a high level throughout my career.

Do you care to play in the Minors? Are you looking for an early shot at the majors?

Nope, not at all! I could play my entire career in the minors and be just as happy as if I played in the majors the entire time. Like I said, I just want to help my team out wherever it is they need the help.

What kind of Locker Room are you looking for?

I'm just hoping for a LR that has some excited and dedicated users to chat with! I don't know a lick about soccer, so I will probably need a lot of help building my player, but as long as I have some awesome people around me, I think I'll have a great time anywhere!

Obviously not the most in depth scouting convo you've ever seen, but I hope it reaches the last few teams that have yet to reach out! If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out though!
