This past Monday October 19 marked the start of the official off-season period.

Pending FA period
Any player that is on an expiring contract (no contract signed for TODO S28) is considered a Pending Free Agent at the start of the off-season. Organizations may at that time contact a Pending FA and negotiate a contract.

Any Pending FA is not officially a Free Agent until the start of the next season thus they may still sign an extension with their current team during the off-season week without reducing the team's transfer budget. We just have to make one thing clear: A manager may not force a player to provide intent to sign. This week is intended for players to be able to talk to teams and be shown alternatives for how their future may look.

Re-rolls and redistribution
S26 players have one last chance this week to submit a re-roll and S27 players have one last chance to use their redistribution for their player via the portal.

Seasonal Change
If you want to retire but still have a corpse season for your player, you need to wait until the start of the next season. Any player retiring during the off-season is retired at the end of the week and will not get a corpse season.

Due to the changes with the portal, the new draft class will officially start up on October 26 with the start of the new season. Any players created during the week of October 19 to October 25 will not be approved until the following week.

SSL Prospect Draft and Next Draft Class
We are also gearing up for the SSL Prospect that is set to take place on October 25.

Regression and Portal
Regression will be run shortly and the resulting TPE will be directly removed from each affected player's TPE total. A regression post will be published on the forum which will also indicate players that are automatically retired.

The deadline for regressing your player in the portal is October 30..

The World Simulation Football Classic

As the year slowly heads towards it's conclusion, we’re excited to unveil the 2027 World Simulation Football Classic! In the WSFC, SSL players trade their club kits for regional colors, making new friends in the WSFC region channels and squaring off against familial rivals in a whole new way. This marks the third official tournament and the 16 regions are looking fit for fight!

For more information about the regions, please read the inaugural WSFC announcement here or in the dedicated subforum.

All regions are led by Regional Manager(s) (at most two), which is a temporary manager position open to all users within that region to apply for, whose responsibility it is to select the tournament squad consisting of 14 players, submit tactics throughout the tournament and drive engagement with the region's users. If you are interested in the position, please read more in the hiring post in the SSL Jobs Subforum

Regional Transfers

If you have gone into the WSFC tracker, found on the SSL Portal, you might have seen that some regions have an abundance of players available while others have less so. The regional eligibility is determined by the nation selected at creation and there are definitely some nations that are more popular than others. In order to help users within regions feel like they have a fighting chance at playing in the WSFC and give smaller regions the ability to register a competitive roster, the WSFC transfer system will be open prior to the final registration date of the tournament rosters.

The transfer rules that were implemented last year are still present and as a reminder, the following players are eligible for a once per career WSFC transfer:

An outfield player that has not been rostered (including preliminary rosters) in the WSFC for a region
A goalkeeper from a region with 2 or more non-Academy and non-retiring active status goalkeepers

Regional transfers are also regulated by the number of transfer slots, based on the number of active, non-retiring outfield players at the start of the season before the tournament takes place.

11 or fewer actives: 0 outfield slots out
12 - 14 actives: 1 outfield slots out
15 - 22 actives: 3 outfield slots out
23 - 33 actives: 5 outfield slots out
34 or more actives: 10 outfield slots out

Transfers are also regulated in that the same region cannot transfer more than 2 outfield players from the same region.

In the case of a region not being able to select a full squad after the transfer period has ended, there will be a period of emergency transfers of inactive players, the same as the current transfer regulations.

The Timeline

The weeks and months leading up to the tournament start on January 5th is detailed below:

Week 254: Open call for regional manager(s)
Week 258: Deadline for applications
Week 260: Regional managers assigned
Week 262: Preliminary squad selections
Week 263: WSFC Transfers open
Week 267: WSFC Transfers close and WSFC Squad selection deadline
Week 269: Start of the WSFC (Monday, January 11, 2027)

See the Calendar to follow the week numbers.

Thank You for your attention. We are looking forward to seeing how this WSFC shapes up!

Hey everyone!

We're super pleased to officially announce that the SSL charity drive will be going ahead early in December this year (exact dates TBD).

The charity drive is a great opportunity for the whole league to get together and support an amazing charitable cause and really make a positive difference.

We will have user submitted auction items to bid on, a raffle with various prizes, some milestone targets to hit and maybe even a few fun custom games.

We will keep you updated with more specifics as we get closer but start thinking if there's anything you might want to auction... a custom media piece? a rap of a subject of your choosing (looking at you lumberjack) or maybe something entirely else, it doesn't have to be fully SSL related so feel free to have some fun with it!

If anyone would like to offer some ideas or if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to @ReadySalted (No-Face on Discord) or to anyone from the BoD.]]> ReadySalted (No-Face):

]]> <![CDATA[S27 State of the League]]> https://forum.simulationsoccer.com/showthread.php?tid=10674 Sun, 30 Aug 2026 13:52:16 +0100 Canadice]]> https://forum.simulationsoccer.com/showthread.php?tid=10674 S27 State of the League
This SotL comes a bit later than usual. The work required to implement an expansion of the league is vast and the crossing of the i:s and dotting of the t:s took the focus during the first two weeks of the season.

Expansion

Speaking of expansion, we have now two new organizations in the league, announcements here and here! All four teams have this week taken their first steps on the pitch during the friendlies and the first competitive matches will happen next week.

As part of the expansions announcements, we detailed the new league structure with 7 teams in each division (and league) facing each other twice and one team receiving a bye during each matchday. The full schedule can be found on the Portal where you can see which teams are playing on each specific matchday.

Another change as a result of the expansion is for the SSL Cup. The two changes are how many and when teams are entered into the competition and how the matchdays will occur. The BoD has voted to implement the following adjustments:

The four teams that advanced to the semi finals of the previous SSL Cup will be given a bye to the Round of 16.
The remaining 24 teams will enter the competition in the qualifying round, the winners of which will continue to the Round of 16.

Given that the qualifying round then will consist of 24 teams and 12 games, it has been split up in three separate matchdays compared to the previous two. They will all air on the same day, with the third premiering in between the two regular time slots, at 17 PM Eastern.

Referral Program

If you didn't know already you are able to refer new users to the league and through our referral system where both the new user and the recruiter are able to earn additional money at set milestones of earned TPE. The milestones and rewards are as follows:

400 TPE - $1 million bank deposit
500 TPE - $2 million bank deposit
700 TPE - $3 million bank deposit
1000 TPE - $4 million bank deposit
2000 TPE - $7.65 million bank deposit ONLY FOR THE RECRUITED PLAYER

An addition for this season is that any new users who register before September 6th will be eligible for an additional $2 million bank deposit (for both the referred user and the recruiter) if their player hits 325 TPE by the end of week 6 (Sunday, October 4th). For more information about this system, please read the S22 SotL here.

SSL Fantasy Open Beta

After some time behind the curtain, we are now ready to introduce an open beta Fantasy system for the league as a whole. @Daleks has been working hard these past couple of seasons to refine and create the infrastructure that is now running a first public test.

SSL Fantasy is an FPL style game where you try to create an SSL super team using a limited budget, with the aim to score as many points possible and crown yourself as the ultimate SSL manager! The rules and seasonal threads are both in the new Fantasy subforum.

Make sure to read the rules and, when you're ready, go to this season's thread to find out how to submit a team.

Further Fantasy announcements will be done via the @Fantasy role on Discord, which you can opt in to via the role selector channel.

Rule Changes

Finally, as is custom, here follows a summary of rule changes that we have implemented for the S27 season. On top of the league structure rules listed above the only rule change adjusts what is considered a legal tactic submission.

The following changes are implemented in Rule E.3 subsection.

Code:
e.

It is not allowed to:

...

e.iii

submit a tactic where the tactical formation has fewer than two (2) central defenders or fewer than one (1) striker

e.iv

submit a tactic where there are more than one (1) player playing on a position outside of their primary or secondary position abilities.

e.v

submit a tactic that reduces the competitiveness of the team in a potentially harmful way to the league, including but not limited to player statistics, the game result or the overall integrity of the league. Examples of such submissions include but are not limited to. using very few team instructions, placing the majority of players on their secondary positions, using "known" inefficient role and/or duty combinations, prioritizing playing players with less TPE. A comparison of previously submitted tactics will be used in determining the intent of the submitted tactic in question.

These rules provide both a way for auditors to flag illegal tactics before implementation and for the BoD to punish submissions that reduces the competitiveness of the team and the league's integrity.

That is all for this season. Good luck to all teams in the new season!

S17 - 20%
S16 - 25%
S15 - 30%
S14 - 35%
S13 or older - 40%

The regressed TPE is always rounded up, for example a player at 1818 TPE regressing 10% would lose 181.8 TPE rounded up to an actual loss of 182 TPE.

All earnings from before August 9th are included in the regression calculation, including:

S26 Standings Predictions
S26 Statistics Predictions
S26 Week 7 Predictions
ALL Career PTs (can be completed just prior to the first career regression update)

We will also see the first division next season containing A.C. Romana (majors) and Montréal United (minors) as the winners of their respective playoffs.

Tomorrow, Monday August 10th, marks the start of the official off-season period. However due to expansion, this period looks a bit different than normal.

Pending FA period
Any player that is on an expiring contract (no contract signed for S27) is considered a Pending Free Agent starting on Wednesday August 12th. Organizations may at that time contact a Pending FA and negotiate a contract.

Any Pending FA is not officially a Free Agent until the start of the next season thus they may still sign an extension with their current team during the off-season week without reducing the team's transfer budget. We just have to make one thing clear: A manager may not force a player to provide intent to sign. This week is intended for players to be able to talk to teams and be shown alternatives for how their future may look.

Re-rolls and redistribution
S25 players have one last chance this week to submit a re-roll and S26 players have one last chance to use their redistribution for their player via the portal.

Seasonal Change
If you want to retire but still have a corpse season for your player, you need to wait until the start of the next season. Any player retiring during the off-season is retired at the end of the week and will not get a corpse season.

Due to the changes with the portal, the new draft class will officially start up on August 17th with the start of the new season. Any players created during the week of August 10th - August 16th will not be approved until the following week.

SSL Prospect Draft and Next Draft Class
We are also gearing up for the SSL Prospect that is set to take place on Sunday August 16th at TBA.

Regression and Portal
Regression will be run in the beginning of next week and the resulting TPE will be directly removed from each affected player's TPE total. A regression post will be published on the forum which will also indicate players that are automatically retired.

The deadline for regressing your player in the portal is August 21st..

Each organization have now submitted their protection lists and notified the players that are eligible for the Expansion Draft. The full list of protected players will not be made public but only be given to the two Expansion Organizations.

They have been given special permission to reach out to the players eligible for the Expansion Draft (normal circumstances it would be tampering) and scout them in preparation for the draft. The draft itself will be held offline around the 9th/10th of August, the results of which will be posted as an announcement on the forum. After the publication the players selected will be invited to the respective expansion organization's locker room.

Some reminders about expansion draft rules:
Any player picked by an Expansion Organization in the Expansion Draft may not return to the original organization in Free Agency for the next FOUR (4) subsequent seasons (S27-S30). This includes exposed pending Free Agents for S27, who are considered part of the organization they were under contract with at the time of the protection list deadline in S26.

Non-manager players that have announced their retirement prior to the Protection List deadline are excluded from both protection and exposed lists.

If an exposed non-manager player chooses to retire during S26 after the Protection List deadline or S27 after being selected in the Expansion Draft, the EXP who is selecting/selected that player will be given a compensatory pick in the closest upcoming Prospect Draft between the Xth and Yth round in order of retirement. For example if two selected players for EXP A retire prior to the S27 Prospect Draft, EXP A is given two compensatory picks, one between the 1st and 2nd round and one between the 2nd and 3rd round.]]> Protection Lists

In many other leagues, users get awarded a 5YR or 10YR badge once they've been on the site for that amount of time. In discussion with other Head Office members or those leagues over the years, the biggest issue they often have is verifying whether a user was actually active over that time or did they just happen to create a player years ago, and then are back active again years later.

In the SSL, we've decided to go a slightly different route.

Introducing our newest badge

[Image: hIBIZZn.png]

Over the past season, our first S1 Users have started to hit this mark (roughly 5 years after the league began). A few more S1 players will hit the mark this season and many more to follow in the seasons after. The matches are tracked using the index, but users will need to request the addition of this user award to their profile when they hit the mark. (claim post will be added in due time, if you have hit this mark and would like the badge added to your profile, please DM me!).]]> <![CDATA[S26 Re-recording of MIN MD6 Division 1]]> https://forum.simulationsoccer.com/showthread.php?tid=10147 Wed, 08 Jul 2026 10:55:45 +0100 Canadice]]> https://forum.simulationsoccer.com/showthread.php?tid=10147 Information
The wrong file was used to sim Matchday 6 for Minors Division 1 resulting in significant issues for the continued use of the file for future matchdays. As such the BoD has voted to re-record the results (win / draw / loss) of the already premiered matchday with the correct file.

Note this is not a re-sim, the same results (win / draw / loss) will be upheld but individual statistics will change from the previously premiered games. Re-recording for the exact results (goals for each team) is nearly impossible so the re-recording will strictly adhere to the point result from the previously premiered games.

After a time of open applications, the BoD are happy to announce the following two new sets of expansion managers:

- @siddhus (OM)
- @Domffl (OM) and @Rylakn (AM)

They will now start the work on their official brandings and we hope the final results of that work will be published in a couple of weeks.

Important Dates

First and foremost is the schedule for the upcoming Expansion process:

- 26th of July, deadline for submission of protection lists from each organization.
- 9-10th of August, Offline Expansion Draft results will be posted to the forum after its completion.
- 12th of August, start of offline S27 Prospect Draft. Draft results will be presented via a live show on the 16th of August.

The expansion managers will be given permission to reach out to anyone not on the protection lists prior to the expansion draft. All players should have been notified by their manager group if you are protected or not by the 26th of July.

After the summary post has been published each expansion organization will begin inviting the selected players to their new locker rooms.

Changes to the league structure

Each expansion team will join the Second Division of their respective league and with the definitive promotion of one team to Division 1, both divisions will hold 7 teams starting in S27. This will give us 12 league matchdays played over 14 total Youtube matchdays for each division. This structure has been voted for in order to minimize the increase in simmer workload with the addition of extra teams. Yes this does mean there will be a team with a bye each matchday but it does keep the amount of matches every team plays equal for various back end things on top of the simmer workload.

More details about any changes to the Cup structure will be announced in the coming week(s).

As is custom, the first weeks of the new season brings about some adjustments and changes that the BoD details in this post. We are still planning on expansion for next season if everything works out according to plan, and we have some information later in this text giving some updated details.

Expansion

With only 4 more days left until the expansion application deadline, we are seeing a lack of applicants overall. After a fact finding mission trying to ascertain reasons why, we have found one such reason to be the reluctance to leave an organization without any real compensation for the lost player. After a detailed discussion within the BoD, taking into account the impact any compensation might have on the Expansion Organizations initial start, we have voted to implement the following for this expansion hiring process.

Code:
If a player from an organization is successfully appointed OM for an expansion organization, the original organization will receive a compensatory pick in between the 1st and 2nd round. 

If multiple organizations receive compensation picks from this or retirements, the picks will follow the same order as a normal round (reverse standings).

This will be added to the hiring and expansion post as well.

Our hope is that this compensation can move the needle for a user contemplating applying. More information about that process can be found here.

Rule Changes

First, after this (S26) season the league will move to a 7-7 structure in each division. This will give us 12 league matchdays played over 14 total Youtube matchdays for each division. This structure has been voted for in order to minimize the increase in simmer workload with the addition of extra teams. Yes this does mean there will be a team with a bye each matchday but it does keep the amount of matches every team plays equal for various back end things on top of the simmer workload.

Second, a temporary rule change for this special season in preparation for the Expansion adjustment. This (S26) season will feature the following promotion/relegation format:

Div 1 - No auto-relegation. The team finishing last (6th place) will play a playoff against Div 2 runner-up. 5th place will not have playoffs this season.
Div 2 - 1st place auto-promoted. 2nd place will play against Div 1 6th place

This is a one-time thing to go with expansion where Div 1 will at least see one new team join. We will have more information on the permanent changes to the pro/rel format closer to the start of S27.

Roster Movement Deadline
In order to clear up any confusion for organizations, accountants, bankers and fileworkers we have added the following detailed deadline to the Rulebook:

Code:
B.5.d

After the Trade Deadline, no roster moves can occur except when it is required to field a valid roster because of player suspensions.

G.6.c

Any roster move after the Trade Deadline can only occur if it is required to field a valid roster due to player suspensions.

Tactic Submission Validity

To clarify what is considered a valid submission for auditing and simming, we have added the following to the Rulebook.

Code:
E.3.c.

A valid tactic submission is defined as one of the following. Only valid submissions are audited for legality and will be used for simming if it passes the audit. 

If both a tactic file and matching screenshot depicting players on positions

If only a tactic file, it is valid only if players are placed automatically based on last tactic (i.e. no manual input by auditor/simmer),

If a tactic file and non-matching screenshot (regarding player positions), it is valid only if players are placed automatically based on last tactic,

If only a screenshot, it is valid only if the screenshot matches the last used tactic file.

If a submission contains no tactic file nor screenshot it requires no auditing but is valid for simming, for example a submission with only subs.

E.3.d

The following tactic submissions are not valid for auditing nor simming. Invalid submissions will revert back to the previous legal submission.

Only a screenshot that is not matching the last used tactic file.

Any of the scenarios from c. that does not meet the condition of validity.

That is it for this relatively short and time constrained State of the League. More information might come up in the next few weeks if needed.
