A football model you can learn from

Super League is an independent tactical game. Use it to explore width, depth, support, passing lanes and the cost of a tactical choice. Its players move according to game rules and editorial attributes.

The moving pitch is a simulation, not tracking from a real match. A real fixture can give a simulation its teams and date. It does not make the simulated runs, score or statistics a reconstruction of that game. This is a digital-twin teaching prototype; it has no synchronized player-tracking feed. See Research for the evidence, experiment and disaster-planning lesson.

What is current, and what is estimated

• Fixtures: the bundled 2026–27 reference calendar comes from Openfootball, which publishes its data under CC0. See the season view for the retrieval date and any fallback notice. Fixtures can change; this is not a live score service.
• Premier League game squads: the twenty-club editorial set is dated 3 September 2026. It provides playable selections for the beginning of 2026–27. On 27 September, all twenty selected groups of 16 were checked against official September lists. Arsenal and Liverpool use registration lists; the other eighteen use the 22 September squad-number reference. The curated groups remove duplicate selections and replace unverified identities with confirmed members. These are selected game squads, not complete registered squads; positions and ability remain editorial. Game shirt numbers and starting elevens are not official matchday lineups. Research shows the coverage audit.
• Other clubs: 20 curated selections were checked against official 2026–27 membership sources on 27–28 September. Research links each reference and its publication or observation date. Legends span different periods. None of these selections claims to be a complete registered squad or confirmed lineup.
• Attributes and tactics: editorial estimates and game parameters, not official scouting grades or physiological measurements. Model percentages describe the game's rules; they are not calibrated real-world probabilities.

How to read the spatial views

The Spacing Lab computes straight-line width, depth and nearest-teammate gaps from the ten outfield positions shown. It excludes the goalkeeper and does not model opponents. Save one shape, change one variable, and compare.

Post-match position maps sample the simulated match after settled kicks. Lines join those samples; they are not continuous tracking. Heat represents sampled occupancy, not time spent in each area. Resetting for a kickoff or changing ends can create a positional jump. Do not interpret these views as real running distance, speed, workload or injury risk.

Use the model to ask a question, then check the idea against footage, your players and your coaching context. It is not a validated player assessment or match forecast.

Sources and rights

Club and player names are used descriptively. Super League is unofficial and is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by a club, league, federation, player or data supplier. Portraits are stylized game illustrations, not verified likenesses.

The public build uses editorial game squads. Private Transfermarkt-derived roster and tournament dumps are excluded or replaced by separately authored public records. Removing a source name or an identifier does not grant redistribution rights; the release checks reject those markers rather than relabel them.

Code and original editorial material remain copyright Nonarkara. Third-party material retains its own rights. Any future commercial release or licensed tracking integration needs a separate rights review.

Artwork review remains open: the repository records a generated-portrait workflow, but it does not yet contain complete per-image generation terms and permission records for all artwork and personal photographs. Stylization and an unofficial label do not establish reuse rights. The gallery is illustrative; it is not documentary match photography. Its corrected 2022 final caption follows the French federation match report: Messi scored twice and Mbappé three times.
