Kaden FM manager of the Farmers VPG eSports team<br />
discusses how the newly formed team coped on their debut<br />
season and plans for future domination.<br />
Tell us about the decision to launch an academy team?<br />
How far do you think your team can go?<br />
The decision to launch an academy team was easy. George and<br />
myself spoke about the idea and we were happy it would benefit all.<br />
A few players who didn’t get enough game time will move out of the<br />
first team into the academy team giving them more game time and<br />
the chance to improve and help make that team successful as well.<br />
This also gives us the room in the first team to look to recruit some<br />
high quality replacements.<br />
What formation do you prefer and why?<br />
I don’t really have a favourite formation. I like 3-5-2 however on FIFA<br />
it’s a whole different story. 4-3-3 attack. If done right is what we’re<br />
planning on next season as it’s effective and suits our play style. It<br />
gives the wingers options to cut back and pass it to there CMS Or<br />
CAMS or to get in a hopeful cross to our ST who can also hold up the<br />
ball for runners.<br />
What is the best team you have faced?<br />
We believe our team can climb all the way to the top of VPG. I think<br />
if you start something, you gotta aim for the top. We’re planning<br />
on staying as a team for a very long time, as long is everyone is<br />
committed and it ran smoothly.<br />
How would you like to see VPG develop?<br />
I want to see VPG develop lots of live esports events. I think 11 people<br />
vs 11 people would be more entertaining to watch than 1 pro player vs<br />
another. Of course all 22 players can’t go to the event so maybe 2 or 3<br />
from each team could go whilst the rest stay at home. I’d also like to see<br />
VPG Working with some official football clubs. We already have a few<br />
and I’d love to see them work with a Premier League team. For them<br />
to continue getting more people involved in Pro Clubs and for VPG to<br />
expand there individual leagues as well would make it even better.<br />
Recently I had a go at FIFA and lost 1-0 to my 8yr old. What<br />
tips can you give me and any new players to the game?<br />
There’s a lot of teams I’ve played which are amazing in a few other<br />
teams I’ve been in. But the best team we have played as Farmers<br />
eSports manager, was top of the league “FifaSlovenjia” who stepped<br />
down mid season. They were a very good Passing side. We won 4-2<br />
at home where we defended very well and hit them on the break.<br />
We lost 3-1 away after going 1-0 up, we let them cut us apart with<br />
their passing from then on.<br />
The way I got better was just years of playing FIFA and gradually<br />
learning different things. I’ve played from FIFA 08 all the way till now.<br />
That’s 10 years. Of course there’s quicker ways to get better, by<br />
watching pro players where esports has grown into Ultimate team.<br />
Tips and trick videos could help as well. Pro clubs believe me or not<br />
has helped as well, where you learn different set piece tactics and<br />
also to learn to play with individual players properly. The way I’ve<br />
learned FIFA is just from playing for ages. EWF<br />
