In order to give this matter as much visibility as possible, I am posting it here.

The question was put to A45 internally to find out the settings chosen for this event, but we have not received a response.

In light of his comments on this topic in the ‘bugs’ section, we conclude – unless he states otherwise – that the eligibility criteria for a player to take part in this event are as follows:

• Have a fitness level of over 30 per cent;
• Not have been involved in a transfer (purchase, sale or loan) at the start of the new season.


On a personal note, I also conclude that my manual interventions over the last two or three seasons were unnecessary.

I would therefore like to apologise for having favoured certain players at the expense of others. This even affected one or two players from my own team at the time (I’m not referring to the 17–18-year-old players I currently have; otherwise, I would have removed this point).

Aymeric sometimes likes to revisit certain features of his game, whether because his vision has evolved or because he ultimately feels that a particular setting is too advantageous. This isn’t the first time this has happened, and it’s a safe bet it won’t be the last.

It’s no big deal, though. For my part, I’ve accepted that this is part and parcel of VF, both as a regular manager and as an administrator.

I simply wanted to make this information as visible as possible. So please feel free to pass it on in your discussions.

Finally, I would like to reiterate my apologies to anyone who might feel aggrieved.

Have a great Season 148, everyone
Socrate

Thanks for your post!

Don’t worry too much about it – you meant well, and I’m sure the French-speaking community will have understood that 👍🏻

Keep up the good work ✨

Hello Socrate, thank you for your honesty!

1 point over a season won’t make any difference. However, I’d like to take this opportunity to mention that the situation with loans is a real shame.
A limit of one might be possible. As it stands, in my particular case – and I imagine for others too – I hardly ever loan out players to develop anything worthwhile, as over several seasons it adds up to quite a few points lost.

It’s a feature that’s going to be slowly killed off, even though it served a real purpose in the game and actually worked really well. It’s a shame.

I reckon that’ll change in season 167 or thereabouts. We’ll realise that it’s possible to limit training camps to one PER PLAYER PER SEASON, regardless of where they are. We’ll just have to be patient for a bit.

I think we could perhaps try asking Aymeric to look back at the possibility of recalling players, or perhaps set a fixed number of days for loan periods so that we can bring them back just before the start of the new season
Youth development partnerships help a lot of people; if we’re lucky, the big club will also help by offering advice, as a sort of mentoring scheme. It would be a shame if that were to come to an end.

Sun's Je pense que l'on pourrait peut-être essayer de demander a Aymeric un retour en arrière sur la possibilité de rappeler les joueurs, ou bien pouvoir fixer un no…

That would indeed be a good solution!

Don’t worry about the link between training loans and the endurance camp.
Some have already found a way round it through the open market; they sell all their young players to one or more ‘trusted’ clubs for next to nothing, so that they’re guaranteed the camp every season. At the end of their training, they buy them back.
You might say you really need to ‘trust’ someone to do that – I agree.

Hello everyone 👋

Perhaps we could also add to the list of conditions that injured players will not take part in the event.

Kind regards

So if you buy a player the day before the new season starts, that player will carry over their points into the new season, won’t they?

Thanks, Socrates, for clarifying that, but given some of the comments about the line-up, I’m not sure I’ve quite understood – will a player on loan not be able to earn an endurance point? If the loan runs from mid-season to mid-season, I’m not really sure what difference it makes – he’s supposed to earn his endurance point as normal, isn’t he? Is that no longer the case?
