Hi there, community!

So here’s the thing, I’ve heard about an urban legend:

“Anyone who doesn’t log in for more than a week gets 90+ players as a gift via email”

Being the big sucker that I am, I wanted to put this to the test a couple of weeks ago

I messed up my youth team’s training (so I sold them, obviously)
And since I logged back in, I haven’t got a thing :(

So I’m publicly debunking this urban legend, haha ^^

I lasted 8 days and then, hey presto, I’d logged back into Virtuafoot ^^

I’d understood.
My reply was ironic because, unfortunately, some people aren’t that honest. Sorry, I don’t know the exact rule regarding how long it takes for inactive clubs to receive this ‘gift’, but unfortunately it’s not just a myth. An admin, someone in the know or a cheater will certainly be able to help you.

But for someone who’s honest, I don’t think that’s the best way to grow. All the best

We have to wait 9 days!

The problem with the last few seasons is that the game is completely different now.
If you’ve been playing for quite a fewyears, you see the game going completely off the rails, partly because loads of people are running multiple accounts just to keep track of them all – and how on earth is it possible that a club which has taken 10 or even 15 seasons to reach the top 300 in the French server can’t beat clubs that’ve been around for six months with 90 rating. And finally, never, ever would a Level 9 or 10 club have spent 30m or more on a player with a rating of 80 to 85; now that seems normal.
I’m all for a VF rating – it’s essential – but the fact is that many former clubs and players are quitting the game because their funds are running out just to stay at Division 1 level, and renewing players’ contracts is becoming too complicated to keep up with.

The problem is the development of young players.

It’s been devalued, I feel.

Teams are now reliant on players created by Aymeric and brought into the game.

Are there still players who are willing to sacrifice 4–5 seasons to build a team?

And the players they’re giving away in a bid to get people back into the game – that’s the worst so-called ‘good idea’ the MDJ has ever come up with...

That said, the 90 players brought in are 28 years old, have a permanent contract and minimal experience… essentially, they’re not exactly warhorses…They might do the job in a pinch for an experienced club (and even then, only if there’s a good fit) and give a young club the impression it has a top-class team, but its dreams of greatness will soon come up against the reality of the game...Admittedly, they’ll breeze through the basic Level 4 teams in Division 3 of a league, but that’s as far as it’ll go.

The title says ‘marked’, so it’s not fair – I might as well add something quickly....
Just a quick question: why does the Champagne Cup knock out the IE teams but not the friendly matches? Is this a new rule?
