S5 Division 2 Award Winners

Mon, 21 Nov 2022 02:50:52 +0000

S5 Division II Awards
(written by @KZBZ)

The 5th Season of Simulation Soccer League was the probably the most intriguing so far. With 6 teams fighting for promotion from the 2nd Division, we saw some epic battles across the globe, from the favelas of Latin America to the streets of the UK. Montreal United, Adowa Accra, Buenos Aires and Inter London, coming from the Div I were the initial contenders for the first spots, but the newly created expansion teams, União São Paulo and Football Club Kaapstad, proved that they would not be push-overs.
After amazing performances from from all the teams, the promotions spots were uncertain up until the very last Game Day. In the end, after one of the most suspenseful game compilation, Accra and Sao Paulo celebrated their entrance to the highest SSL Division.

SSL Div II Manager of the Season
Winner: Managers Matty86/Laser - Uniao Sao Paulo @Matty86 @Laser
user posted image

Starting their SSL Management journey with the best possible way Matty86/Laser gained promotion for their the Brazilian side of Sau Paulo. Playing attractive and solid soccer and keeping their side the most disciplined and focused one against any opponent, the Brazilian side made all of keeping notes about their tactical achievement.

SSL Div II Rookie of the Year
Winner: Lochlann O'ROurke @Legend
user posted image

The lad from Galway had an excellent Rookie season for Cape Town, helping them to be close to the promotion spots up until the end.In 9.5 appearances, Lochlann managed to find the net 6 times, providing 1 assist and 10(!) key passes. Added to this, he showed no reason to respect the elder defenders, managing more than 1 Dribble per game.

SSL Div II Most Valuable Player (MVP) & Golden Boot
Winner: Konstantin Selich @Tomen
user posted image

In his only 2nd Season in SSL, Konstantin Selich proved right the predictions that he is aiming for greatness. Achieving both MVP and Top Scorer awards, Selich looked unbeatable for the almost all the games he played. 9 goals, 3 assists, 4 PoTM, 7.85 average rating, more than 2 dribbles per game and 22 fouls against. All the above are just numbers that give a small hint of how magnificent a players like Selich was in season 5.

SSL Div II Golden Glove
Winner: Luke Laraque @Blix
user posted image

Adowa Accra’s promotion story could have been a whole lot different, if there was not for the magical season that Luke had. His excellent athletism and commanding presense under the goal posts, were enough to rate him as one of the best goalkeepers in the league. Especially by the end of the season, Laraque 7.12 rating and 4 Clean Sheets, seem very little to actually show his promotion contribution.

SSL Div II Golden Eye
Winner: Rizzo Rigmarole & Aimo Tälli
user posted image

6 Assists for those two magicians coming with very different ways. Aimo, playing for Buenos Aires for the past 4 seasons, showed excellent technique and vision, delivering his colleagues with the easy job of scoring. On the other hand, the pacey and athletic Rizzo surprised everyone and especially the opposition defence, with the speed and precision that proved to be game changers for Accra’s promotion.

S5 Division 1 Award Winners

Mon, 21 Nov 2022 02:26:54 +0000

Good Evening SSL!
(and sorry for the delay)

I am proud to announce the Season 5 Award Winners for Division 1.
A massive thank you goes out to @omniscius and @KZBZ for their hard work and dedication with the write-ups for both Divisions (D2 to be posted later)
As well, a big shout out to @solas for their always amazing work on the graphics

Manager(s) of the Year: Omniscius/Twix (6); AW13 (1); 3lewers (1); SteveAiva (1)
user posted image
@omniscius @twix

S5 Manager of the year goes to Johan Hernández [@omniscius] and Watermelon Pep [@twix] for their work with CF Catalunya. Despite losing out on the title on the last matchday of the season and getting knocked out in the quarter finals of the SSL Cup on away goal, they demonstrated that there are advantages to playing with a bigger side winning Catalunya's second trophy and first SSL Shield at the start of the season. These managers have managed to balance winning with having a large active squad even having super sub Mojo Rizing earn a Best XI nomination. It'll be a wonder if they can finally achieve that league title someday.

Rookie of the Year: Dobby Roobe (6); Josh Burgers (4)
user posted image
@CMac8

This season's only standout rookies both hailed from Tokyo S.C, but it's Dobby Roobe who edges it out here over Josh Burgers for the SSL S5 Rookie of the year. Dobby Roobe would go on to nab 3 goals and 3 assist on the season while playing a crucial role in the Tokyo midfield over 15.5 appearances. Their ability to create chances and pick out key passes help separate them from the rest of the pack.

MVP: Gerald Gerrard (6); Owen Forty-Four (4)
user posted image
@Sburbine

It was an absolutely outstanding year for Gerrard, who becomes the first defensive player to take home the Most Valuable Player honours in the league. Gerrard would finish with an outstanding 7.97 Average Rating thanks to their 5 Player of the Match awards during Division 1 play. Gerrard had an astounding 82 Key Passes for the Hollywood side (2nd highest was 59) while consistently making attacking runs from out wide and puzzling defenders with their penchant for dribbling

Team of the Year:
user posted image

Best GK: Alexandria Gunnarsson (4); Elmis the Heretic (3); Certified Problem (1); Scott Sterling (1); Kody Hill (1)
@RenoJacksonHS

First the battle for goalkeeper of the year was edged over Elmis the Heretic by Alexandria Gunnarsson [@RenoJackson] by a single vote. Both great keepers and could have gone either way. Alexandria Gunnarsson though did well to carry CF Catalunya within a single win of the league title. Easily one of their standout players, Gunnarsson earned Catalunya valueable points regularly being overworked for a club that was top 3 in the league table all season long.

Best CBs: Sator Freddy (8); Jökull Júlíusson (4); Mike Rup (2); Powdered ToastMan (2); Cole Mertz (1); Superior Athlete (1); Spack Jarrow (1); Mikko Järvälä (1)
@seafreddy @MN_Moosey

The defensive pair protecting Gunnarsson in the back this season is Sator Freddy and Jökull Júlíusson. Sator Freddy helped bring Sydney to glory in winning their SSL League Championship Title (the first expansion side to do so) and the SSL Cup. Sator Freddy put up some impressive numbers with 248 successful headers at a 91.2 % accuracy alone is quite the feat but offensively he scored 2 goals of his own as well as completing 1004 passes at a 95.1 % accuracy. Jökull Júlíusson managed a goal as well as an impressive 97.7 % passing accuracy despite completing 1210 passes. With 50 interceptions, 21 key headers, and a 86.7 % tackle completion rate Júlíusson provides the coverage needed for Catalunya to play their aggressive high block pressing system. Both these centrebacks are perfect examples of the modern day ball playing defender.

Best WB: Gerald Gerrard (9); Ask Jeeves (4); Deedee Yoker (3); George Costanza (2); Juha Jarvinen (2); Vins Vins (1)
@Sburbine @fútboliscool

Well the team of the year can't be complete without the league MVP Gerald Gerrard. Through a close tiebreaker, Ask Jeeves joins him on this list for best wingbacks in S5. Honestly, this truly was the season where wingbacks broke out and everyone who was nominated were putting up impressive numbers.

Best CM: Mikko Rashford (5); Budget Busquets (5); Malakai Black (4); Usada Pekora (3); Emilliano-Yoichi Isagi (2); Michael Muller (1)
@RashfordU @omniscius

Another extremely competitive position this season was the central midfield role where Mikko Rashford, who has long been among the elite, shares his spot with Budget Busquets. Mikko Rashford is the more advanced of the two with Busquets playing a deeper defensive facilitating role. Rashford has long been the cog of Hollywood FC's midfield and this season was given more freedom to go forward. He returned his coach's favour by providing 3 goals and 4 assists as well as 47 key passes at a 87.5 % pass completion rate. He had 27 tackles at a 90% completion rate with 26 interceptions on the defensive end.

Best Wingers: Hunter Jones (7); Liang Kuai (4); K Clamence (3); Tim Possible (2)
@Thunder39 @OrbitingDeath

Jones, a mainstay in the Team of the Year again finds himself taking home the most votes for wingers in the league. Jones would find themselves nabbing 11 goal involvements on the season with their stellar 7.33 Average Rating. Jones would also add 35 Key Passes and 14 Chances Created to round out some fantastic offensive play.

Kuai is another phenomenal winger who took their game to another level during S5. With a similar 7.34 Average Rating and 7 Goal involvements for the Sydney side that took home the double. Kuai would create 10 Chances on the season and attribute 39 Key Passes to one of the league’s most potent offenses

Best Strikers: Owen Forty-Four (9); Sky Ryze (5); Mojo Rizing (3); Jay Jay Okocha (2); Connor Azipillcueta (1)
@C9Van @Nhamlet

Owen Forty-Four might simply be the best striker the league has seen thus far. During Season 5, 44 would find the back of the net an outstanding 19 times in only 14 league matches, double that of the second closest striker as they accounted for the majority of Sydney scoring on the season. To add to their incredible scoring tally, they would also assist their teammates on 4 occasions.

Our second striker in the Team of the Year plays a much different style. Ryze has always been known for using his head and this season found the back of the net on 9 occasions during league play.

S4 Awards Announcement

Wed, 24 Aug 2022 03:33:51 +0100

Hey it's Omni and as per usual I'm late with the awards again. Please dkm, here's a copypasta for you: People trashing omni in the ssl thread. Here you fucking go. This is the S4 awards. No touches with no service, but when he does get it, it's done. This season was exciting literally until the final matchday where 5 teams battled against the relegation playoffs. Unfortunately, defending champs Inter London were to face the drop alongside Montreal, Buenos Aires, and Accra. Tokyo S.C. regularly featuring in the bottom half of the table managed a surprise title challenge and upset title favourites like Hollywood, Sydney, and Catalunya. Finally, CF Catalunya managed to win their first trophy (and the first for any expansion side) by overcoming Athenai in the finals 2-1 (all goals scored on penalties, much controversy). There were so many amazing players that 2 positions needed a deciding vote to decide the Best 11. Votes are compiled between some managers and BoD for the Manager of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Most Value Player of the Year, and Team of the Year. Sticking with the 4-4-2, the Team of the Season is compiled of the best Keeper, top 2 centrebacks, top 2 widebacks (DL/R WBL/R), top 2 central midfielders (DMC, MC, AMC), top 2 wingers (ML/R AML/R), and top 2 strikers. I am proud to announce the winners of these awards:

SSL Manager of the Season
Winner: Managers @Graydonsanatomy and @Nhamlet (7 votes) https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/TSC.png
Runner-Ups: Managers @G2019 and @trella (3) https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/CFC.png, @omniscius and @twix (2) https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc.../CFCat.png, @thevoicelesscreator (1) https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...s/ILFC.png

After toiling near the bottom of the league since their inception in Season 1, Tokyo S.C. absolutely stunned the league in Season 4, finishing with 15 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses to finish on 47 points, 3 points clear of 2nd place Sydney City. The team's dominance was led by their nearly impenetrable defense, which allowed only 18 goals in 22 matches, the best goals per game allowed in league history. Offensively, the team excelled as well, scoring 46 goals in the league, good for 2nd best. Greydon and NHam deserve a world of credit for the turnaround as Tokyo finished 2nd to last in the league the three seasons prior before their explosive championship run.

SSL Rookie of the Year
Winner: João Morelli @TheFlash (5) https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/TSC.png
Runner-Ups: Gary Hog (3) https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/TSC.png, Dogwood Maple (3) https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc.../CFCat.png, Luke Laraque (1) https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/ACR.png

user posted image

João had an absolute season to remember in S4 with Tokyo. Not only did Morelli create, adding 6 assists during League play, but they also found the back of the net an astounding 11 times. Morelli used their versatile skillset to ensure that whenever they were on the pitch, opposing defenses had to keep their eye on them. Morelli also had 37 Key Passes, to go along with 16 chances created on the season.

SSL Most Valuable Player (MVP)
Winner: Owen Forty-Four (8) @C9Van https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/SYD.png
Runner-Ups: Kody Hill (2) https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/TSC.png, Ask Jeeves (1) https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/CFC.png, Mikko Rashford (1) https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/HFC.png, Connor Azpilicueta (1) https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/CFC.png

There are 3 guarantees in life: death, taxes, and Owen Forty-Four scoring. You fear him, you dread him, but you can’t hide from him. He keeps keepers across the league up at night and managers like myself throwing our laptops out the window. I personally fear playing Sydney the most and this man is one of the main reasons behind it. He’s been gunning for this award for awhile and this might not even be his best season. He’s truly taken over the SSL having amassed 26 goals in 22 league appearances this past season as well as a whomping league career best of 64 goals in 58 appearances. What’s even more impressive is that Owen Forty-Four scored over 50% of his team’s goals last season. You add in his assists and he’s contributed over 60% of Sydney’s goals last season.

SSL Golden Boot
Winner: Owen Forty-Four @C9Van with 26 goals https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/SYD.png
Runner-Up: Leonidas Papadopoulos with 17 goals https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/PAR.png

user posted image

Owen Forty-Four ran away with the golden boot this season and has given himself a sizable lead in the SSL’s all-time goal scorers list. With 2 back to back golden boots and a great start to this season, it’ll be hard to see this going to someone else next season.

SSL Team of the Year (Best XI)

user posted image

Goalkeeper:
Winner: https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/TSC.png Kody Hill @khkreator (9 votes)
Runner-Ups: https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc.../CFCat.png Alexandra Gunnarsson (3), https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...s/ILFC.png Tony Yeboah (1)

Hill was elite during Season 4 play. Their 11 Clean Sheets went well with their near 83% save percentage. Kody conceded only 18 times during league play and was the key aspect to the backline that kept Tokyo in the driver’s seat for most of the season.
Both Gunnarsson and Yeboah had very respectable seasons as well, and both are projected to be a mainstay in future Team of the Year conversations

Centrebacks:
Winners: https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/TSC.png Squall Vercetti @Thunfish (11), https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/TSC.png Mike Rup @Graydonsanatomy(4)
Runner-Ups: https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/HFC.png Spack Jarrow (3), https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc.../CFCat.png Jökull Júlíusson (3), https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/ACR.png Eirlys Snooks (2), https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/PAR.png Mikko Jarvala (2), https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/AFC.png Henrik Lind (1), https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/CFC.png Powdered ToastMan (1)

It is not often that a team has such an elite defence, that they get both Central Defensive positions on the TOTY. But such is life for the S4 League Champions whose dynamic partnership kept opposing teams struggling to score. Vercetti would take home 3 Player of the Match awards during the season, an outstanding achievement for a Centreback while finishing the season with a 7.52 AVG Rating.

His partner, Rup, would also take home 3 Player of the Match awards, while also contributing on the scoresheet with 3 Goals and 2 Assists. Both defenders excelled in moving the ball with exceptional pass completion, while also ensuring Hill didn't have to face a crazy amount of tough shots with over 240 clearances each, and a plethora of Key Headers.

Wide Backs:
Winners: https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/AFC.png Deedee Yoker @[askedmadden] (12), https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/CFC.png Ask Jeeves @[dwightknight] (9)
Runner-Ups: https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/ACR.png Eirlys Snooks (2), https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/TSC.png Jonas Thessenvitz (1), https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/SYD.png George Costanza (1), https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/SYD.png Xherdan Xhaka (1)

Yoker was an offence generating machine during Season 4 for Athênai. On a team know for exceptional defensive play, Yoker found themselves as a key cog to the offence with their 86 Key Passes and 18 Chances Created, this gameplay led them to 8 Assists on the season.

Jeeves was no slouch themselves for Cairo City. They racked up 10 Assists during Season 4 and had 79 Key Passes and 15 Chances Created. The revamped Cairo offence was truly only possible from the gameplay of Jeeves, who ensured their defensive game was up to snuff as well, finishing with a 7.35 Average Rating

Central Midfielder:
Winners: https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/TSC.png Emilliano-Yoichi Isagi @ProjectSaint (10), https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc.../CFCat.png Budget Busquets @omniscius (5)
Runner-Ups: https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/HFC.png Mikko Rashford (4), https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/CFC.png Alessio Calvatore (2), https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/SYD.png Usada Pekora (2), https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/TSC.png Helena Soderberg (1), https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/ACR.png Vui Kemoeatu (1)

The exceptional play of Rup and Vercetti was great and all, but at some point the ball needed to get into the net, and Isagi might have been the most important piece to that puzzle. Isagi did everything, they added 5 goals, 7 assists, and consistently gave nightmares to other teams. Their 106 Key Passes and 23 Chances Created put every goalie on edge and helped Tokyo’s offence hum along.

Busquets, a mainstay on the Team of the Year, took home 3 Player of the Match awards for the ball possessing Catalunya. Budget’s ability to facilitate the ball and distribute it throughout their team was key to the team's success. Busquets added 23 Key Passes and 21 Key Headers on the season, showing both a knack for offence and a strong defensive presence in the lineup.

Wingers:
Winners: https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...s/ILFC.png Liang Kuai @OrbitingDeath (10), https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/HFC.png Hunter Jones @Thunder39 (7)
Runner-Ups: https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc.../CFCat.png Tim Possible (3), https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/MTL.png Coffee Biscuit (1)

Liang Kuai is probably the greatest Chinese player to ever step foot on the pitch in the SSL. Known to terrorize opposing teams, they’d add 14 goal involvements on the season for a London squad that generally struggled to produce. They would consistently produce Key Passes each and every game, racking up 59 on the season, while also spinning defenders around in all directions with their 50 Dribbles.

Hunter Jones has found himself on the Team of the Season before, but previously as a Striker. This time, the re-invented player dropped a little further back on the pitch and began to attack teams from the Wing. Jones would score 12 Goals in League play to go along with their 6 Assists. Similar to Kuai, Jones was exceptional with creating for their teammates as well, with 49 Key Passes and 24 Chances Created.

Strikers
Winners: https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/SYD.png Owen Forty-Four @C9Van (14), https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/CFC.png Connor Azpilicueta @G2019 (13)
Runner-Ups: https://files.jcink.net/uploads2/simsocc...es/PAR.png Leonidas Papadopoulus (1)

What more is there to say about Forty-Four. The prolific, MVP winning striker did everything that Sydney asked them to do during the season. I think if you asked any fan of the SSL what the most surprising part of the season was, they’d probably answer that they could have easily seen Forty-Four end the season with 40 Goals, he was just that good.

Azpilicueta on the other hand found themselves in a new team this season after a surprising move from Inter London. The striker would put 13 Goals past opposing team’s keepers while also creating chances for his strike partner in Torres. For a team that at times looked like they might drop down into the 2nd Division, Azpilicueta continuously displayed brilliant performances and seemingly willed Cairo City out of the relegation battle.
