Time Machine

Battle teams across eras — England 1990 vs England 2024 — using each squad's stats from its own year.

Auto:
Uses the best available model. Picks Enhanced if trained, otherwise Elo.
Elo:
Classic chess-style rating system adapted for football. Uses only historical match results. Simple and fast.
Enhanced:
ML model trained on 19 features per team: Elo, FIFA rank, squad value, recent form, goal rates, and more.

Runs a full 48-team World Cup simulation using the 2026 format: 12 groups of 4, top 2 advance plus 8 best third-place teams, then a 32-team knockout bracket. Each group match and knockout round is decided by Elo-based win probabilities. The simulator repeats this thousands of times to estimate each team's chances of reaching each stage.
