Hello.
This is to pass on the news, I don't know if it's "deliberate" or not:
The calendars were turned upside down last night. Probably to make the cuts more fluid, in response to comments that have been made.
Personally, I've got nothing against it, I can live with it.

But it has had a secondary effect on the league matches.
Some have been forcibly shifted in the calendar. Regenerating a match that is (every time I've been able to check) 24 hours after another league match (and generating an 8pm schedule, so VIP mode is no longer taken into account).
This has an impact on clubs that haven't asked for anything, who will find themselves playing high-stakes matches with no rest.
Of course, I'm not talking about myself, I've got enough to play, but I'm bringing this up in the interests of those who are discovering this and suffering the situation (the cups must have caused this).
I don't know if that was the intended effect.

All the best.

A word of clarification: some Inter-Entente matches have been postponed, apparently as a result of a knock-on effect.

Hello, I find this really limiting, they've shifted everything around. I find myself playing 2 matches on the 13th and 14th. The championship comes before the cups. I've never seen Virtuafoot play 2 league matches in 2 days in a row.

Hi, I understand that the calendar is loaded but I don't agree at all with the idea of shifting the championship matches to put IE in them, which is my case, we should simply delete the IE in question and give priority to the championship.
Otherwise, if I have a good explanation, I'll understand.

The bug may also be linked to the change made earlier to the rescheduling of matches:

#club?uid=680695&matchs
This club already had 2 friendlies scheduled for 3.40pm #match?mid=6393215 and 4.40pm #match?mid=6393220. I made an automatic match request at 1pm and a match was scheduled against them at 1.10pm #match?mid=6393222, even though they already had 2 matches today. Perhaps a bug in the automatic match scheduling module, which no longer limits opponents drawn by the automatic module to a single match per day.

I now have 2 league games on the 9th and 10th, whereas yesterday they were on the 8th and 10th.

Aymeric's answer:
There is no rule stating that championship matches must be played every 2 days.

Blagoje Vidinic: Réponse d'Aymeric :
Il n'y a pas de règle qui établit que les matchs de championnat doivent se jouer tous les 2 jours.

He's exaggerating.
But we'll adapt.

A rather intriguing response, to put it politely... we all know very well that you can't field the same team 2 days in a row. So his answer was way off the mark and out of touch with the game.

I know you've got nothing to do with this, but even clubs that don't play in the summer cup are affected...
I had slammed my recovery event, so I'm getting screwed...

The problem is that, without warning, he has changed the schedules that had ALREADY been drawn up.
The championship calendar is broadcast on day 1, so we plan accordingly.
This is a MANAGEMENT game, so the idea is just to be able to manage :/

But things seem to change without notice, or even logic really.
I think it's a mistake to change the league matches that are broadcast.
What's more, those who have paid for VIP mode in order to have a championship match schedule are deprived of this service, even though they've paid for it (the match is automatically moved to 8pm, and it's impossible to change it because the 7-day deadline has inevitably passed).

So, can those who have changed their timetable with the VIP ask for a refund via PayPal for a service they didn't use?

Translation:
I tried something, it went wrong; balek, you're on your own.

It's pretty crazy to pay for a service and not be able to use it... Logic would dictate that those who have paid for it and don't use it should be reimbursed. It's not just logical, it's actually normal. But in any case, it clearly doesn't make me want to put money into the game if I'm paying for a service and I have to cross my fingers to get it.
How can you make someone want to invest if the instability is permanent... like irl

Aminee: Du coup, est-ce que ceux qui ont changé les horaires avec le VIP peuvent demander un remboursement via PayPal pour un service dont ils n'ont pas bénéficié ?

In any case, we know one person who would certainly have tried!

As the game's creator, you try to provide tangible elements of a slightly more detailed response. Now I understand some people who complain about his choices and especially his answers, which give the impression that he's being annoyed more than anything else.
Anyway let's move on 🫡🫡🫡

Hi, my ie match which was scheduled for Friday at 4pm has been moved to Saturday at 8pm. I chose this day and time because it suited my availability in the game and in my life as allowed by the ies. Thank you for rescheduling this match to the day and time you had planned, or for cancelling it if that's not possible.
By way of explanation, my opponent had his cup match on Thursday, which shifted his friendly from Thursday to Friday and therefore our ie from Friday to Saturday.
Thank you for your time.

Good evening,
I'd like to pick up on what was said earlier. I programme my IEs for times when I can follow the matches. I end up with an IE on a day when I'm not available.
And I can't afford to field a strong team every day, so I'm one of the players who gets short-changed at the expense of bigger clubs.
Good luck to everyone in managing this new calendar.

IE matches will be rescheduled (as far as possible) at least at the desired time, if not on the original date.
Similarly, if by any chance two incompatible matches (i.e. outside the IS) take place on the same day, the less important match (unofficial cup) will be rescheduled.

I'm going to play 4 league games in 4 days - perfect! Bloody season lol

flo 108: Je vais joué 4 matchs de championnats en 4 jours nickel ! Saison foutu lol

You're being a bit dramatic, aren't you?
With 24 players with an NG of over 80 and 5 possible changes in a match, you won't be able to manage the situation?

Thanks for the clarification Blagoje! That's reassuring! :)
Good luck to you then..... :/

As for Flo's comment, in fact, affinities don't necessarily allow you to make mixed compositions. What's more, if you want to field a specific type of team against a team that favours a particular style, well, that's a bit tricky. Especially if what you're 'planning' changes regularly because of the fixture list.

In this case, even if it's a bit off-topic, I'm frankly convinced that changing the championship calendar is a big mistake. It was a cornerstone for many clubs, and the flagship competition for many. I really hope that A45 will reconsider this idea. There were much better things to propose (such as a return to the way things used to be done: cups overwhelm friendlies, for example).
