VFL FLEETWOOD TOWN Cod Army on the march How did you come to run VFL Fleetwood Town? I took a break from VFL after getting banned from ‘Bottling Management’, after this, I was introduced to VFL Cadiz and made two appearances, scoring one goal in the Champions League. A few months later, Admin ‘Gringo’ put his faith in me to succeed and I was given a management opportunity again. Is the championship league a highly competitive league? And is there a team you hate playing? It is a highly competitive league because of the standards people set in their teams including ours, people would give anything to get promoted on this site. By far the English leagues are the most challenging with loads of experienced players. There are teams I hate playing purely because the cup draw has given us Premier League teams in the past, and they’re at the top end of the site, tough, tough opponents to play against, no matter what team. How did the last season go for the team? Last season was season 33, a challenging time for me and the players. We eventually finished 16th in the league. The top scorer I Mac 7 I shined for us, scoring 24 goals, not to mention the fine shot stopper vF Connor. A tricky season, we aimed for play-off spots but the class of other teams took the wind out of our sails. Now this season we are hopefully going to achieve our goals. VFL over VPG why is that? Never really heard of VPG until YouTuber WorldOfJCC started playing for Fleetwood eSports. 22 Esports World Football
BY JUSTIN LAWSON I was introduced mainly to VFL by my friends telling me to join a club and make an account. Also, VFL has that certain buzz about it, for example, training before a VFL game gets intense and everybody is focused on the task ahead. What has been the biggest challenge you have faced so far as a team? The biggest challenge I’d say is that we always come up against hard teams in our league, and friendlies aren’t exactly easy depending on who you come up against. We try our hardest at all times but you just can’t win everything. Also, one of the toughest challenges has to be handling expectation, we’ve tried to be ambitious for the past two seasons but we haven’t succeeded quite as well as we’d liked to, staying up in our league is a big bonus for me. would normally reply with their position, age, etc. then we’d set up a trialling session with those players involved. What formation do you prefer and why? We normally experiment with formations and see what fits us best, but now we are sticking to a 4-4-1-1 formation because we believe the CAM and the wingers can provide enough service to the striker, also the trickery on both flanks helps when you have clever players who can manoeuvre the ball efficiently, coming inside and switching up the passes on the pitch is crucial for me. We also look to have a solid back line, and with our experienced defenders, we hopefully can achieve this. Can you reach the top flight? Get a spot in Europe? With enough guile and determination, we can hopefully reach play-off spots and get that promotion dream going, and look forward to season 35 on FIFA 19. The real life version of VFL Fleetwood Town is managed by the cross between a maverick and lunatic Joey Barton. The far more sedate Eddie Carter, manager of VFL’s eSports team, speaks about its last season Tell us about your end of season awards and who one what? At the end of season 33, we had select individual awards which were given to the players who rightly deserved them. I will start off with I Mac 7 I who won top scorer with 24 goals, secondly, most assists is Carter I 10 I with 15 assists, thirdly, the best defender award went to Tmoneycombs. vF Connor also grabbed Clubs golden glove award with 122 saves alongside Hammerheadboy6 who won the clubs’ best midfielder award. How do you select players when it comes to trials? Normally, if we had vacant positions open in the team because of sales, we’d put a trialling thread up with the positions, people Getting a spot in Europe is a big task but you can never say never, we’ve seen this before though, it’ll take true quality. What can the VFL do to develop the game further? Well, I wouldn’t say they should try to associate themselves with EA, because VFL has always been a separate community, and for me, I’d like it to stay that way. When new FIFA’s come out and more new features come out on pro clubs, I’m hoping the VFL can utilise these different features in different ways. To conclude, VFL is a fantastic platform for anyone looking to get competitive and meet new people online. Skill is also a must, it is getting harder and harder out there.
