SquadLab — Liverpool squad rebuild simulator for supporters
A drag-and-drop football-manager-lite app for Reds fans to propose their own transfer window — the tool models the resulting wage bill, Amortisation/PSR impact, and a projected XI, so fans can argue about whether Iraola should buy a winger or a centre-back.
Tactically minded Liverpool supporters who play football manager in their head
- Drag-and-drop squad builder with realistic market values and wages
- PSR/FFP impact calculator based on reported Liverpool financials
- Projected XI viewer with formation toggles and chemistry-style fit ratings
- Share-to-social codes so fans can roast each other's windows publicly
The post-Salah rebuild has reset Liverpool's attacking depth and supporters are unusually engaged in sporting-director role-play during the most active part of the window.
Liverpool transfer discourse is enormous and fans actively use squad-building tools — LFC Globe's 'Armchair Director' has existed for multiple windows and hosts a busy transfer simulator with budget + wage-cap mechanics, proving recurring seasonal demand.LFC Armchair Director: Liverpool Transfer Simulator & Game ↗Liverpool transfer simulator — sell, buy and project impact | Rebuild FC ↗
The exact idea already exists in shipped form: LFC Globe's Armchair Director (Liverpool-specific, budget + wage bill + sell/buy) and Rebuild FC's Liverpool simulator cover this niche head-on, joined by TransferSim.de, FotMob Lineup Builder and HomeCrowd — the Liverpool-specific rebuild slot is effectively taken.LFC Armchair Director: Liverpool Transfer Simulator & Game ↗Rebuild FC — Football Transfer Simulator ↗TransferSim - Ultimate Football Transfer Simulator & Squad Builder ↗
Comparable fan-facing tools (LFC Globe, Rebuild FC, FotMob Lineup Builder, HomeCrowd) are free and ad/sponsor supported, and Liverpool fan Patreons like Kop On scrape by with modest earnings — willingness-to-pay for a single-club simulator is unproven and ceiling looks low.LFC Armchair Director: Liverpool Transfer Simulator & Game ↗Kop On!

Use spikes around the summer and January windows (roughly 8 weeks/year) and collapses in between; PSR/Squad Cost tracking gives some off-window utility (PSRwatch is a standalone product), but a Liverpool-only single-window toy is highly seasonal.PSRwatch | Premier League PSR & Squad Cost Tracker ↗LFC Globe Interactive | Match Predictor, Squad Selector & Games ↗
Drag/drop UI, a static Premier League player/wage dataset and the well-documented PSR/amortisation formula are all that's needed — clones of this exact pattern already ship as Vercel hobby projects (Rebuild FC), so a build is well within reach.Rebuild FC — Football Transfer Simulator ↗Lineup Builder - Create Your Squad with Formations and Player Faces ↗
