October 2025 – Newsletter

⚽ Soccer Supremos October Newsletter

Hello Managers,

Here’s your October update on all things Soccer Supremos! It’s been a busy time, with new features in development and plenty of ideas on how to keep evolving the game. The three big topics this month are:

1️⃣ Turn Results Are Evolving: Now in Two Parts
2️⃣ More Newsletters Coming Your Way
3️⃣ New Leagues… Maybe?!


📑 Turn Results Are Evolving: Now in Two Parts

Starting the week of 13th October, your turn results will be split into two PDF files:

  • Manager’s Report – Your club’s personal report. Same look and feel as now, but reduced by around 50%, containing only your club, squad, and stadium info.

  • Matchday Magazine – A new shared document for all managers in your league. It will include fixtures, results, league tables, transfers, gossip, and more. Think of it as your league’s “football programme”!

Why the change?
Processing turn results is now taking 3–4 hours each week, mainly due to generating over 2,500 pages across all managers. Splitting them will reduce processing time and let me add richer content over time.

What’s next?

  • More detailed divisional summaries (not just your division).

  • Half-page match reports and stats on all televised games.

  • Room for new, creative features in future updates.


📰 Newsletters, Newsletters, Newsletters

Right now, you receive this monthly newsletter (covering features and game updates). But I’m planning to add two more:

  • Supremos Scoop – Community-driven, in-game newsletter. Articles, stats, gossip, and stories across all leagues. Inspired by the old days, but now free and more frequent (likely quarterly). First issue hopefully out before year-end.

  • Football Management PBM (working title) – An ad-hoc newsletter featuring all active football management PBMs. It would share updates, articles, and reviews from players across different games, helping to build a wider PBM community. It could even include adverts for each other’s games.

👉 Got name ideas for this second newsletter? Send them my way!


🚨 New Leagues – What?!

Currently, we’re running 3 active leagues. For now, that’s enough to manage, but…

If:

  • all leagues stay healthy and full, and

  • I make good progress on completing core features,

…then I may consider starting a 4th league in the New Year. This isn’t a promise, just something I’m open to if demand is there.

Would you be interested in seeing new leagues added? Your feedback here will help guide the decision.


✅ That’s a Wrap

That’s all for this month’s newsletter. Plenty is happening behind the scenes, and I’m excited to share more as things progress.

Until next time,
Gads

L1 | S4 | W8: Plymouth storm the summit as West Ham send Walsall tumbling

The Division 1 table has a new leader for the first time since Week 5. Plymouth Argyle’s 1-0 win at Carrow Road – one of the four televised games this week – combined with Walsall’s shock home defeat to West Ham to hand Carl’s side the summit on 15 points. David Griffiths’ side, who had looked like the most settled club in the division just seven days ago, are now fourth. The League Cup Last 16 also delivered: Arsenal knocked out of the cup by Stevenage, Chelsea needing extra time to survive Wimbledon, and a Quarter-Final draw that sets up some tasty ties for Week 21.

L1 | S4 | W9: Wilshere treble fires Leicester’s six-goal demolition as Division 3’s three-way tie holds

Week 9 and the Division 1 title race continues to refuse to separate itself, with six clubs still covered by just three points at the summit. Plymouth Argyle hold top spot after a comfortable 2-0 win over Port Vale, but nothing is settled, nothing is safe, and the pressure is distributed across the table in a way that makes every single result feel consequential. Elsewhere, Division 3 produced the result of the week – and arguably the result of the season so far – as Leicester City dismantled Crystal Palace 6-0 to send shockwaves through the division. Division 4 meanwhile has its own quiet crisis developing at the wrong end, while Division 2’s top two continue to put clear water between themselves and the rest.

L2 | S3 | W22: Dortmund stumble as Cardiff seize control of Division 4’s four-way scramble

Nine games left in Season 3 and the European Elites is delivering on every front. The Division 1 title race is as tight as it’s been all season, with five clubs still mathematically in contention. Division 4’s promotion picture has reshuffled dramatically as Borussia Dortmund were beaten at home while Cardiff City pulled a point clear. And Division 2 has produced the story of the week: Sheffield United putting three past Manchester United without reply, a result that drags David Hopkins’ side into a relegation conversation that was already getting uncomfortable.
