END OF AN ERA<br />

As of this moment, the admin re-shuffle from Scotland to France is now officially complete.<br />

I wanted to take this moment in time to congratulate and show thanks publicly to some people who deserve such praise.<br />

First of all, MKW has taken head red admin of <strong>VFL</strong> France, along with the promoted JoonaIceman who has shown consistency,<br />

hard-working tendencies, and overall commitment to this website every since he was a blue, and ever since he entered<br />

France. I want to congratulate Joona on the promotion to red as he is an integral part of our team on this site, and has<br />

earned his stripes in that respect. I hope that he enjoys having the official colours, but also continues to strive towards the<br />

quality he's shown as a blue.<br />

itsRockeR has also taken flight to Italy to shadow Suitable ahead of Suitable taking a 1 season break in S32, meaning that<br />

Rocker will now be acting as co-head in Italy for a season, and then head as of S32.<br />

Lastly and most importantly, I'd like to thank BenA3394 . Ben has stepped away from the main admin role he has had for the<br />

past 3 years and is now just doing the odd bits and bobs around the site. The guy has been a tremendous support structure for<br />

myself, an incredibly hard worker for <strong>VFL</strong>, and the best red that this site has ever seen period. Whether it was during University,<br />

during working life, he always had a place for <strong>VFL</strong> and the jobs he had to do on here, and that's because like many of you,<br />

he has had memories on this site, and met people on this site that he truly will always hold dear to him.<br />

The guy wants to bow out, and he deserves to. Through events like his first year in admin on FIFA 14, through events like the<br />

DDoS, through everything, he's always been a person that has been honest with me, helpful in making decisions, and a guy that<br />

has done everything he possibly can do for all of you. He is a friend, an honest guy that has an opinion, and one that I have unlimited<br />

amounts of thanks towards and he knows that. Regardless of whether we bounced off each other, we always did it<br />

because we are both so passionate about this site and community due to the impact it's had on us.<br />

I hope one day he'll make a grand return, but if not, just know that he'll be around, sorting stuff like European Co-efficients,<br />

Premium stuff and other less taxing jobs. Thank you Ben, honestly, without you mate, some periods of time would have been<br />

extremely difficult for me to juggle on my own. Love you buddy.<br />

Now that is done, I hope you're all as excited as I am for the continuation of <strong>VFL</strong> on the 12th, but I also hope all of you enjoy<br />

your Christmas and New Year with family and friends. 2017 (towards the back end) has been a bit daunting, but it can only<br />

pick up.<br />

Have a good one fellas.<br />

HOW TO<br />

minimize lag during a vfl game<br />

When you're playing FIFA online, there are usually two major problems you may experience: bad lag and poor performance.<br />

If you play lots of games online, you've likely experienced problems with lag and high ping. Data takes<br />

time to travel from your console to the game server and back, and this results in lag. There's not a whole lot<br />

you can do to improve your lag if you're connecting to far away servers, but you can still optimize your network<br />

for the best gaming experience.<br />

1<br />

Close any network-hogging programs on your computer. Before playing your online game, make sure any<br />

bandwidth-chugging programs are closed. Torrents, streaming music, and open browsers can all have a<br />

big impact on your in-game lag. Close these programs before starting your game. Look in the System Tray<br />

for programs that may be running in the background.[1]<br />

2<br />

Connect your game console to your router via Ethernet. If your video game console is connected to your<br />

network wirelessly, you may experience worse performance in-game. If your network setup allows it, try<br />

to run an Ethernet cable from your console’s Ethernet port to an open LAN port on your router.<br />

You may need to select the wired connection if you are already connected wirelessly.

TIPS FOR NEW MANAGERS<br />

Don’t oversell yourself<br />

If you have a trialling thread that says “going for title” then you put pressure on yourself and an expectation from trialists that<br />

you will be perfect before you start. Be reasonable, I always found it useful to say in the thread that you’d love to go up but the<br />

main key is to find the right players and build a team<br />

Have a plan for formation<br />

Don’t just recruit anyone who applies, set yourself a plan on at least 1 or 2 formations you want, what position(s) you need and<br />

look to recruit for them, that way you build your side and not build a collective of strikers who don’t want to play DM etc<br />

If you have 6 strikers and 2 spots and ask ppl to play somewhere they dont want to, chances are they will say no, thats your fault<br />

not theirs. Most people may help out for a game or two but they joined you for a reason and it's unlikely that rason was to play<br />

out of position<br />

Use Skype<br />

Might sound daft to say this but Skype or some form of group messaging will save you and your team. This is to be used to general<br />

conversation sure but ultimately it’s used for people to discuss games, keeps all information in 1 place and makes managing so<br />

much eaiser.<br />

Encourage your players to have skype also, they dont have to be massively active but i would suggest they check at least once a<br />

day for info on upcoming games etc.<br />

Picking the team<br />

This one is important, in your Skype/Messaging group put a roll-call out for the upcoming game/weekend.<br />

you do this BEFORE the day, so if the games start Friday put in the group on WEDNESDAY a roll call<br />

Do not assume that people are always free, if you assume this you will default games<br />

I find it best to say “Friday 7pm start League game” and then ask who is free: you can also ask via your loungue and/or Skype<br />

for availability for the entire upcoming weekend, then the players confirm if free, you list them and keep updating that list when<br />

players say free,<br />
