BLACKOUT:hap~1: :green_square:
What are your goals for this season in terms of position? You are one of the underdogs of Division 1, but can you reach Playoffs?
TIAGO
First of all, I would like to thank you for choosing us to enter the 1st Division. Our goal is certainly to go to the Play-Offs, unless it will be a bad season for us. For that to happen, we will have to do our best, playing game by game as if it were a final. We are not a weak team, there is a lot of quality that many people do not know here in BLACKOUT.
Which player in your squad do you think is most important to your team and will make a name for himself this season?
TIAGO
In my opinion, all of my players are important for my team, but if i needed to chose one i would pick Ter.
True, a lot of Fantasy players picked him for their squad. Any predictions for the League Winners this season?
TIAGO
BLACKOUT will win the league this season, we will be 2015/16 Leicester! Joking, i think Prayers or Wolfpack will win the league. I prefer Prayers, because i have a few frindes playing there.
Nice faith! If you could steal one player from any other team to maybe be your Jamie Vardy, who would it be?
TIAGO
Our Jamie Vardy would be veil!
Thank you and good luck for the season!
----------------------
Another season of portus in the league, mashallah, this time under the name BLACKSOUT (kind of racist but ok). This is an underrated team, and will fight closely for the playoffs with some of the other teams. With the signing of Ter, they are very strong, as long as he stays, as previously he was signed for Prayers but disappeared to become a professional chess player! They are all nice guys as long as you dont call them a caralho, and TIAGO even learnt how to post match reports, so things are only going up from here.
Expected Lineup:

ECHO ZULU:hap~1: :green_square:
First of all, what are your aims for this season? Do you think you can compete with the top teams and cause a playoffs upset?
Maddúde
Our main aim is of course to win the playoffs this season as it should be for any team I think, of course we probably won't come top in the league stage as some teams have been together longer or have players that have been playing futsal a lot longer than most of us so we may drop points here and there especially with our first match vs wolf pack but we have a nice run of games after I feel. To your second yes I think so as can be seen from the pre-ssn we can definitely compete and after a 2/3 (?) month long season our chemistry will be much better and we will have played lots more officials and got used to playing against top teams.
Yeah, i also believe you can surprise some top teams in the playoffs after you build up chemistry. What do you think of the format this season, with 2 divisions and separate playoffs?
Maddúde
I mean I can fully understand not wanting a big 16-20 team league as it would be a long long season, I kind of assumed it would be two conferences not two divisions with like top 4-6 going through to a big playoffs and mixing against each other but I can't really complain I suppose as maybe there would be lots more stomps and the like. Either way I am glad for playoffs as to me they are the most exciting and intense games and that's what I wanna be playing!
---
True, playoff games are very tense and enjoyable to watch, as we saw last season. Which teams are you most afraid of facing in the playoffs, and apart from them do you think a superteam could be created mid season, like Predator Eagles after they lost some of their top players last season?
Maddúde
I think the top two contenders are always a problem in Wolf Pack and Prayers, Wolf Pack due to how long they been playing together and they impose their game on others which is hard to break out of and Prayers because they are highly skilled team but maybe losing madness may break the camels back, once again if they get a decent gk in and chemistry over a season I don't think they'll be any worse off. I'm not really sure I guess transfer rules allow these teams to be formed which isn't really great in my opinion but what can you do, personally i'd only be looking to gain maybe a definite starter or 5th man depending on how active my team is but hopefully won't be needed.
Any predictions for the S3 MVP and your own team's most valuable player?
Maddúde
I think Vak will be in contention and maybe yeye, so that answers your second question I think yeye will be as he'll be dictating the games but maybe he'll miss out if we hopefully get to sub/rotate our team a lot until the last couple of weeks and playoffs.
Who are the top 3 most clapped people in the league in your opinion?
Maddúde
Vak, yeye, Wenamka
I mean thats if you're not counting sha too as he's not in a team currently
And finally, what inspirational quote would you associate with your team?
Maddúde
Personal glory means nothing if the team achieves nothing, work to better the team not your glory.
wow that is sexual
Thank you for taking part, and good luck for the season!
Maddúde
Thanks benisimo and to you and all competing!
----------------------
Echo Zulu is definitely an underrated team this season, with most of their starting lineup relatively new to BFF. As such, welcome, and it looks like they will have a successful first season! They competed closely with Prayers in the preseason Semis and brought them to overtime, to unfortunately lose in the end. They have an enjoyable playstyle to watch, and you can clearly see it's a group of old friends just having a good time together. Older than you might think, Maddúde is apparently 26 (only 3 years younger than Daffyd)!
This will definitely be one the teams to watch to see if they can grow throughout the season to compete against the proven S Tier teams.

Hey aMp, and congratulations on being selected to take part in the 1st Division. To start things off, what are your aims for this season?
aMp
Hello and thanks, We would like to be in first 6 and go to play off like every other team but everything can happend
Which player in your team do you think is the most dangerous to other teams, and could help you a lot to reach the playoffs?
aMp
I feel myself the best player from the team but I feel like only if our main 4 is there we can be very dangerous because chemestry is big so yeap but If I have to choose a player then I would choose modric
Which team do you think will take the title this season?
aMp
I would like US to win the league but its really hard so I bet for Prayers
Any predictions for the Golden Boot, Assists and Gloves?
aMp
I would say
GB - kl
Assists - Vak (if he keeps playing if not (me)
gloves - Madness
As we know, your team made the switch from playing reghax to futsal. Any reasons for why you decided to try this new mode?
aMp
I started playing futsall almost 1 year ago and it was really funny but the games was almost the same as other leagues so I waited to make some spaces for futsall I guess
and also in BFF I never had the chance to "prove"
What I can as a player I guess so I decided to create my own team because only like this I would play every game and not only 4 5 games in 1 season
also its much funner then big nowdays but if we joined futsall that doesnt make us leave big
Yes, im aware you're still in fm, and good luck with that too. That's all, enjoy the season!
aMp
Thanks for the interview , Have a nice day
ah I forgot to say something

----------------------
FC TIGAN are a risky team, no one knows who is who and who is good, there are too many romanians to count. The loss of Al1s is unfortunate, but there are probably 3 more people who are exactly like him so it shouldnt be too bad. Another strong playoff contender, the question is how fast can they pin down the futsal style. aMp is one of the fantasy league favourites, so lets see if he can reward us all and carry his team into playoffs.

SABER FC :hap~1: :green_square:
Greetings Zobba, how are you. The first question I think most of the league wants to know is how tf did you get into Division 1 with a mid table-Division 2 standard team?
Yazuneh
Greetings Hamza. Regarding your question will leave many thinking. How can a team with larry in it still achieve Division 1? I'll tell you that. With names like tsukuyomi, Eijun, vesy, kesso, El matador and Yazuneh in a team, you will eventually get far in a league. Because we won against blackout and the other randos, we managed to reach division 1. We could have got 2nd place in the group stage if we had won against Scream, but after an unfortunate performance we just didn't win. Furthermore, we all think that we have earned division 1.
True true, El Matador the best French ST can't be playing in Division 2 it would cause outrage. What will be your best lineup this season and how will you compete with other teams?
Yazuneh
Our best lineup will probably be Eijun - Tsukuyomi. - vesy - the best Frech ST or Hassi. As we all know El matador likes to go for cheecky solo goals. Whenever we play defensive, he will be the striker to go for. Hassi is our striker with a playstyle as a teamplayer. We most likely play offensive, so that would be a huge plus with Hassi. Ofcourse we are aware that the Division 1 teams will be very tough, but we are confident with a top 6 placement. We are looking forward in playing against the teams.
Looks like a nice lineup if you're planning to get relegated! Who do you think will be next season's MVP?
Yazuneh
Thank you for the confidence! My MVP for s3 prediction will be Vak.
What hobbies do you have outside of haxball? We all know you have a taste for violence, perhaps you have some MMA experience?!
---
Yazuneh
I used to play high level football in PEC Zwolle. I got interfered with a major injury, but my hobby is still playing football with my friends. I do not have MMA experience but I came from the gutter so I do know how to throw a punch at a madlad. As you know I also like to slap some tings.
Can you tell us a little about the tactics your team will employ this season?
Yazuneh
Unfortunately our secret tactics won't be revealed to the public. As a minor of people know, the tactics include dark mystery. This is why we shall not publish our tactics.
And that is why i have decided to leak some of your tactics, one of the highlights of the season preview!
-------------
Pressing on opponents half
A new tactic i want to test before we actually start using it.
The opponents DM passes it to the GK (or other way around) what to do?
ST & AM: the ST puts pressure on the DM (because he has the ball) but in a way he is forced to pass it either down the line or wide to the DM/GK, so you cover the middle. DO NOT go in like a headless chicken, keep ur opponent in front of you at all times. The AM should already be positioned pretty high up, nearly the same line as the opponents GK. The AM's job here is to make the GK pass it down the line, here again, stay in front of the GK.
DM: Stays in the middle and reads the situation, if the ST/AM forces the pass through the lines you immediately press towards the receiving player and try to shoot the ball towards the opponents corner or build a counter attack. it's important not to let the opponent turn and have a shooting line towards the goal. as the GK won't be able to cover the short post at this point
GK: basically the same task as the DM, but stays a bit more in the middle to cover the goal too. As soon as you see the DM rushing you move closer to your marked player.
What if the opponent's AM/ST manages to pass the ball up?
This is why the AM and ST keeps the opponent in front of him. if the ball goes back up towards the DM/GK of their team our AM/ST can move back and intercept the ball without too much trouble. If the pass goes diagonal to the other attacking player the GK covers this pass and rushes the player, covering the shot towards goal. When this happens the DM goes back to cover the GK as he will be out of position.
------------
How did you come up with such elaborate strategies?
Yazuneh
Fuck you nigga
To wrap things up, what colour would you associate with your team and why?
Yazuneh
you mean in-game kit?
No!
Yazuneh
wdym then
Thanks and gl for the season!
----------------------
Saber FC is a bunch of wafflers and its honestly shambolic how they were accepted into division 1, but whatever, they are not even the worst team. They are like a Supreme Meme Team but with Hassiii instead of Lethal. Big respect to Yazuneh spends 4 hours on tactics just for them to get smacked anyway, like his women. If Saber FC finish higher than 10th, they have had an extremely successful season.

Hi and congrats on being selected to take part in the 1st Division. Why do you think you were selected to play here and not in Division 2 with the likes of Brexit Slaves (players like Exotic, yuji etc)
Daffyd
Because I own the server
Ah yes, communism wins again. Seeing as Offkuurs definitely won't win, which team do you think will win the title this season?
Daffyd
Zorci
ok
----------------------
Offkuurs look like a strong squad with a clear weakness at GK, but with several admins in the squad expect them to rig some games to get over this hurdle. It'll be interesting to see who ultimately ends up playing the most games in goal. With a top midfield pairing of Wroz and Veil and Raiden's poaching skills they should have no problems with the teams below them, but they might struggle against the best of the best.

Congrats on being selected to take part in Division 1! Do you think you deserved this, or just got lucky? I can count 1 or 2 or 7 teams in division 2 stronger than you atm
Smurf²
Since Opti left us I think we fully deserve Div1, even tho we lost badly vs Maddudes group of nerds in preseason cup. That Italian has held us down for too long. You clearly show no ability to count anyway so I guess you don’t even know how many teams are in div 1.
Btw if you are forced to do this interview pls nod twice.
I know the teams, theres 10 im a good admin unlike u who has sent 4 messages in total in the server. On the topic of Opti, anything you would like to say about him behind his back?
Smurf²
Another example for your counting skills right there.
He‘s bald, that explains a lot.
Are you confident of competing with teams like Saber and Champions FC this season? Your dressing room must be terrified
Smurf²
My dressing room has a killer in it, they are always terrified. If ferry ships goals from one side to another, we should anchor in a good position and set over to reach playoffs
Nice waffle, would you like some sausage with that? Which player apart from in your team can surprise the league this season?
Smurf²
How would sausage fit to waffles?
I‘d be happy to see the Italian cousins Giu and Gian carry their teams, good fellas and underrated players. And I wanna see Gouiri back in action
There is also a young prodigy named hamza2, if he’d find a team he might be able to shine bright

Trutru. What are your aims for SHOUT this season in terms of league position?
Smurf²
we did playoffs in every single season so far so thats what we aim for this time as well, so keet can drink his beers in peace
always knew the whole of Scream were drunken morons! Since Optimus is gone, does the GK have more freedom i.e permission to touch the ball in the corner?
Smurf²
only if its not benis as our gk
apart from that we do trust our gks more. but we have subbed opti with ayyoub, his ping issues as gk will produce the same lag own goals we had with opti. so i'm looking forward to that
Nice! And finally, what colour would you use to describe your team and why?

Team full of good friends who score very high on the waffle-meter, they will be a strong playoffs contender once again. With the loss of cult hero Optimus, it looks like Ayyoub will take the reins of unpredictable keeper.

WOLF PACK :hap~1: :green_square:
First of all, what are your aims for this season? Rumours are that your rivals Prayers are building a superteam, do you think you will compete closely again this season, or is one team clearly better?
Lyreco
Our goal is obviously to win the season, I think it's gonna be a really close season once again, but this time the ending will change, and that change is Wolf Pack winning the season.
True, I also believe it'll be a really close season. However if you could take 1 player from any other team, who would it be and why?
Lyreco
Not anyone at the moment, we've got the players we need on every position and don't need anyone.
How do you feel about the continuation of the playoffs system and the splitting of the league into 2 divisions?
Lyreco
It's good, only sad thing to me is that there's no relegation.. I know it's cause there will probably be alot of disbands, but if I were to pick it would be with relegation, much more interesting.
What are your predictions for the league's top scorer, assister and most cs?
Lyreco
Top Scorer is Vak, Nocke Top Assister and most cleansheets anyone but Girl
Which underrated player do you think can surprise the league this season?
Lyreco
Hm, not really anyone coming in mind but if I have to pick it'll be Splat from echo zulu
Finally, what animal would you use to describe Wolf Pack and why?
Lyreco
Hmm what animal.. Id say your mom cause I would sacrifice my own life for Pakistan.
Oh so not a wolf!
Lyreco
End the shit interview already retard
OK thanks and gl for the season!
----------------------
Wolf Pack are coming into this season on the back of a disappointing first game loss to Prayers in last seasons's playoffs, but with a boost in the fact they won the Pre Season Cup this season, their first trophy in BFF, maybe of many! They have the same lineup as last season, this time with Hulk and Lyreco rotating most likely every half, something to watch out for in the fantasy league! Nocke and Vak are still 2 of the very best in their position, and Girl seems to have fixed his previous season's errors in GK, if the preseason is anything to go by. However, a notable addition to the squad is the signing of Gouiri, who probably is the better keeper. However, I still expect Girl to start since this is a group of friends who have been playing for a long time together.

I guess these words can be said, i am currently trying to get 2 players, (GK and AM), we still have a strong team currently however activity will be a problem hence the signings of these quality players

Prayers have all the motivation they need to come out on top this season and retain the title, after getting schooled by Wolf Pack in the Pre Season finals. They have the squad to do it, as irvi gets more comfortable into futsal and Kl keeps improving. Having a HCL winner on the bench isn't bad either! This season their team may struggle from the loss of Laki, but Nosfe is not a bad replacement by any means. Rumours in the league are of Prayers signing 2 high profile players, 2 of the best in the league in fact. If they achieve this, they will easily be a match for Wolf Pack once again.

First of all, what are your aims for this season?
TheGoal
We are modest, we just want to lose with dignity. Given the circumstances, and the quality of our players, we know it will be impossible for us to do a great performance.
Some of our players have a very great level, but not all of them.
Moreover, we played Futsal since a very short time compared to the other teams that have tryhard since 2 years.
That’s why, in my opinion, we can’t honestly aim the top of ranking. But our top players (me) can do some very good surprises, even with the poor squad.
Damn, seems like you haven't got much faith in taking the Division 1 Title this season. If you could have a player from any other team to boost your squad, who would it be?
TheGoal
Mmh, in my team we like the play style of Wenom and Clinical Striker, they are good players, and respectful, that’s why my team like them.
Which team do you think will take the title this season, and which do you think will finish last?
TheGoal
Last will be us certainly. Winners will be Echo Zulu I hope
And why is that? Have you got something against the other top teams competing this season?
TheGoal
We played against all the teams in offi and fs. Prayers & Wolfpack are those that seems to have play the most, so they will certainly win. But I prefer teams like Echo Zulu or Ez4ence, So I hope they will do a great job.
Ok, that's interesting. Do you have any opinion on the format the league has taken this year, with 2 divisions and the continuing of the Playoffs, and how it affects mid table teams?

It’s a good idea sah. Playoffs will be great to watch.

@everyone BFF Div 1 Season Preview above, thanks to @Ogulin for doing the Offkuurs analysis to make sure im not biased!!
What are your goals for this season in terms of position? You are one of the underdogs of Division 1, but can you reach Playoffs?
TIAGO
First of all, I would like to thank you for choosing us to enter the 1st Division. Our goal is certainly to go to the Play-Offs, unless it will be a bad season for us. For that to happen, we will have to do our best, playing game by game as if it were a final. We are not a weak team, there is a lot of quality that many people do not know here in BLACKOUT.
Which player in your squad do you think is most important to your team and will make a name for himself this season?
TIAGO
In my opinion, all of my players are important for my team, but if i needed to chose one i would pick Ter.
True, a lot of Fantasy players picked him for their squad. Any predictions for the League Winners this season?
TIAGO
BLACKOUT will win the league this season, we will be 2015/16 Leicester! Joking, i think Prayers or Wolfpack will win the league. I prefer Prayers, because i have a few frindes playing there.
Nice faith! If you could steal one player from any other team to maybe be your Jamie Vardy, who would it be?
TIAGO
Our Jamie Vardy would be veil!
Thank you and good luck for the season!

Another season of portus in the league, mashallah, this time under the name BLACKSOUT (kind of racist but ok). This is an underrated team, and will fight closely for the playoffs with some of the other teams. With the signing of Ter, they are very strong, as long as he stays, as previously he was signed for Prayers but disappeared to become a professional chess player!

First of all, what are your aims for this season? Do you think you can compete with the top teams and cause a playoffs upset?
Maddúde
Our main aim is of course to win the playoffs this season as it should be for any team I think, of course we probably won't come top in the league stage as some teams have been together longer or have players that have been playing futsal a lot longer than most of us so we may drop points here and there especially with our first match vs wolf pack but we have a nice run of games after I feel. To your second yes I think so as can be seen from the pre-ssn we can definitely compete and after a 2/3 (?) month long season our chemistry will be much better and we will have played lots more officials and got used to playing against top teams.
Yeah, i also believe you can surprise some top teams in the playoffs after you build up chemistry. What do you think of the format this season, with 2 divisions and separate playoffs?
Maddúde
I mean I can fully understand not wanting a big 16-20 team league as it would be a long long season, I kind of assumed it would be two conferences not two divisions with like top 4-6 going through to a big playoffs and mixing against each other but I can't really complain I suppose as maybe there would be lots more stomps and the like. Either way I am glad for playoffs as to me they are the most exciting and intense games and that's what I wanna be playing!

True, playoff games are very tense and enjoyable to watch, as we saw last season. Which teams are you most afraid of facing in the playoffs, and apart from them do you think a superteam could be created mid season, like Predator Eagles after they lost some of their top players last season?
Maddúde
I think the top two contenders are always a problem in Wolf Pack and Prayers, Wolf Pack due to how long they been playing together and they impose their game on others which is hard to break out of and Prayers because they are highly skilled team but maybe losing madness may break the camels back, once again if they get a decent gk in and chemistry over a season I don't think they'll be any worse off. I'm not really sure I guess transfer rules allow these teams to be formed which isn't really great in my opinion but what can you do, personally i'd only be looking to gain maybe a definite starter or 5th man depending on how active my team is but hopefully won't be needed.
Any predictions for the S3 MVP and your own team's most valuable player?
Maddúde
I think Vak will be in contention and maybe yeye, so that answers your second question I think yeye will be as he'll be dictating the games but maybe he'll miss out if we hopefully get to sub/rotate our team a lot until the last couple of weeks and playoffs.
Who are the top 3 most clapped people in the league in your opinion?
Maddúde
Vak, yeye, Wenamka
I mean thats if you're not counting sha too as he's not in a team currently
And finally, what inspirational quote would you associate with your team?
Maddúde
Personal glory means nothing if the team achieves nothing, work to better the team not your glory.
wow that is sexual
Thank you for taking part, and good luck for the season!
Maddúde
Thanks benisimo and to you and all competing!
----------------------
Echo Zulu is definitely an underrated team this season, with most of their starting lineup relatively new to BFF. As such, welcome, and it looks like they will have a successful first season! They competed closely with Prayers in the preseason Semis and brought them to overtime, to unfortunately lose in the end. They have an enjoyable playstyle to watch, and you can clearly see it's a group of old friends just having a good time together. Older than you might think, Maddúde is apparently 26 (only 3 years younger than Daffyd)!
This will definitely be one the teams to watch to see if they can grow throughout the season to compete against the proven S Tier teams.
Expected Lineup:
Dado-splat-Maddúde-Wenamka

Hey aMp, and congratulations on being selected to take part in the 1st Division. To start things off, what are your aims for this season?
aMp
Hello and thanks, We would like to be in first 6 and go to play off like every other team but everything can happend
Which player in your team do you think is the most dangerous to other teams, and could help you a lot to reach the playoffs?
aMp
I feel myself the best player from the team but I feel like only if our main 4 is there we can be very dangerous because chemestry is big so yeap but If I have to choose a player then I would choose modric
Which team do you think will take the title this season?
aMp
I would like US to win the league but its really hard so I bet for Prayers
Any predictions for the Golden Boot, Assists and Gloves?
aMp
I would say
GB - kl
Assists - Vak (if he keeps playing if not (me)
gloves - Madness
As we know, your team made the switch from playing reghax to futsal. Any reasons for why you decided to try this new mode?
aMp
I started playing futsall almost 1 year ago and it was really funny but the games was almost the same as other leagues so I waited to make some spaces for futsall I guess
and also in BFF I never had the chance to "prove"
What I can as a player I guess so I decided to create my own team because only like this I would play every game and not only 4 5 games in 1 season
also its much funner then big nowdays but if we joined futsall that doesnt make us leave big
Yes, im aware you're still in fm, and good luck with that too. That's all, enjoy the season!
aMp
Thanks for the interview , Have a nice day
ah I forgot to say something

FC TIGAN are a risky team, no one knows who is who and who is good, there are too many romanians to count. The loss of Al1s is unfortunate, but there are probably 3 more people who are exactly like him so it shouldnt be too bad. Another strong playoff contender, the question is how fast can they pin down the futsal style. aMp is one of the fantasy league favourites, so lets see if he can reward us all and carry his team into playoffs.

SABER FC :hap~1: :green_square:
Greetings Zobba, how are you. The first question I think most of the league wants to know is how tf did you get into Division 1 with a mid table-Division 2 standard team?
Yazuneh
Greetings Hamza. Regarding your question will leave many thinking. How can a team with larry in it still achieve Division 1? I'll tell you that. With names like tsukuyomi, Eijun, vesy, kesso, El matador and Yazuneh in a team, you will eventually get far in a league. Because we won against blackout and the other randos, we managed to reach division 1. We could have got 2nd place in the group stage if we had won against Scream, but after an unfortunate performance we just didn't win. Furthermore, we all think that we have earned division 1.
True true, El Matador the best French ST can't be playing in Division 2 it would cause outrage. What will be your best lineup this season and how will you compete with other teams?
Yazuneh
Our best lineup will probably be Eijun - Tsukuyomi. - vesy - the best Frech ST or Hassi. As we all know El matador likes to go for cheecky solo goals. Whenever we play defensive, he will be the striker to go for. Hassi is our striker with a playstyle as a teamplayer. We most likely play offensive, so that would be a huge plus with Hassi. Ofcourse we are aware that the Division 1 teams will be very tough, but we are confident with a top 6 placement. We are looking forward in playing against the teams.
Looks like a nice lineup if you're planning to get relegated! Who do you think will be next season's MVP?
Yazuneh
Thank you for the confidence! My MVP for s3 prediction will be Vak.
What hobbies do you have outside of haxball? We all know you have a taste for violence, perhaps you have some MMA experience?!
---
Yazuneh
I used to play high level football in PEC Zwolle. I got interfered with a major injury, but my hobby is still playing football with my friends. I do not have MMA experience but I came from the gutter so I do know how to throw a punch at a madlad. As you know I also like to slap some tings.
Can you tell us a little about the tactics your team will employ this season?
Yazuneh
Unfortunately our secret tactics won't be revealed to the public. As a minor of people know, the tactics include dark mystery. This is why we shall not publish our tactics.
And that is why i have decided to leak some of your tactics, one of the highlights of the season preview!
-------------
Pressing on opponents half
A new tactic i want to test before we actually start using it.
The opponents DM passes it to the GK (or other way around) what to do?
ST & AM: the ST puts pressure on the DM (because he has the ball) but in a way he is forced to pass it either down the line or wide to the DM/GK, so you cover the middle. DO NOT go in like a headless chicken, keep ur opponent in front of you at all times. The AM should already be positioned pretty high up, nearly the same line as the opponents GK. The AM's job here is to make the GK pass it down the line, here again, stay in front of the GK.
DM: Stays in the middle and reads the situation, if the ST/AM forces the pass through the lines you immediately press towards the receiving player and try to shoot the ball towards the opponents corner or build a counter attack. it's important not to let the opponent turn and have a shooting line towards the goal. as the GK won't be able to cover the short post at this point
GK: basically the same task as the DM, but stays a bit more in the middle to cover the goal too. As soon as you see the DM rushing you move closer to your marked player.
What if the opponent's AM/ST manages to pass the ball up?
This is why the AM and ST keeps the opponent in front of him. if the ball goes back up towards the DM/GK of their team our AM/ST can move back and intercept the ball without too much trouble. If the pass goes diagonal to the other attacking player the GK covers this pass and rushes the player, covering the shot towards goal. When this happens the DM goes back to cover the GK as he will be out of position.
------------
How did you come up with such elaborate strategies?
Yazuneh
Fuck you nigga
To wrap things up, what colour would you associate with your team and why?
Yazuneh
you mean in-game kit?
No!
Yazuneh
wdym then
Thanks and gl for the season!
----------------------
Saber FC is a bunch of wafflers and its honestly shambolic how they were accepted into division 1, but whatever, they are not even the worst team. They are like a Supreme Meme Team but with Hassiii instead of Lethal. Big respect to Yazuneh spends 4 hours on tactics just for them to get smacked anyway, like his women. If Saber FC finish higher than 10th, they have had an extremely successful season.
Expected Lineup:
Eijun-tsukuyomi.-vesy-Hassiii

OFFKUURS FC :hap~1: :green_square:
Hi and congrats on being selected to take part in the 1st Division. Why do you think you were selected to play here and not in Division 2 with the likes of Brexit Slaves (players like Exotic, yuji etc)
Daffyd
Because I own the server
Ah yes, communism wins again. Seeing as Offkuurs definitely won't win, which team do you think will win the title this season?
Daffyd
Zorci
ok
----------------------
Offkuurs look like a strong squad with a clear weakness at GK, but with several admins in the squad expect them to rig some games to get over this hurdle. It'll be interesting to see who ultimately ends up playing the most games in goal. With a top midfield pairing of Wroz and Veil and Raiden's poaching skills they should have no problems with the teams below them, but they might struggle against the best of the best.

Congrats on being selected to take part in Division 1! Do you think you deserved this, or just got lucky? I can count 1 or 2 or 7 teams in division 2 stronger than you atm
Smurf²
Since Opti left us I think we fully deserve Div1, even tho we lost badly vs Maddudes group of nerds in preseason cup. That Italian has held us down for too long. You clearly show no ability to count anyway so I guess you don’t even know how many teams are in div 1.
Btw if you are forced to do this interview pls nod twice.
I know the teams, theres 10 im a good admin unlike u who has sent 4 messages in total in the server. On the topic of Opti, anything you would like to say about him behind his back?
Smurf²
Another example for your counting skills right there.
He‘s bald, that explains a lot.
Are you confident of competing with teams like Saber and Champions FC this season? Your dressing room must be terrified
Smurf²
My dressing room has a killer in it, they are always terrified. If ferry ships goals from one side to another, we should anchor in a good position and set over to reach playoffs
Nice waffle, would you like some sausage with that? Which player apart from in your team can surprise the league this season?
Smurf²
How would sausage fit to waffles?
I‘d be happy to see the Italian cousins Giu and Gian carry their teams, good fellas and underrated players. And I wanna see Gouiri back in action
There is also a young prodigy named hamza2, if he’d find a team he might be able to shine bright
--
Trutru. What are your aims for SHOUT this season in terms of league position?
Smurf²
we did playoffs in every single season so far so thats what we aim for this time as well, so keet can drink his beers in peace
always knew the whole of Scream were drunken morons! Since Optimus is gone, does the GK have more freedom i.e permission to touch the ball in the corner?
Smurf²
only if its not benis as our gk
apart from that we do trust our gks more. but we have subbed opti with ayyoub, his ping issues as gk will produce the same lag own goals we had with opti. so i'm looking forward to that
Nice! And finally, what colour would you use to describe your team and why?
Smurf²
a big black hole, no description needed
Can you describe what you mean?
Smurf²
Thanks and gl for the season! You need it
Smurf²
Thanks and good luck for staying admin! You need it
----------------------
Team full of good friends who score very high on the waffle-meter, they will be a strong playoffs contender once again. With the loss of cult hero Optimus, it looks like Ayyoub will take the reins of unpredictable keeper. Ferry is strong as ever, and if Smurf is back after being a bit inactive during the preseason, they will surprise some top teams, with Nathan being a very underrated striker.

WOLF PACK :hap~1: :green_square:
First of all, what are your aims for this season? Rumours are that your rivals Prayers are building a superteam, do you think you will compete closely again this season, or is one team clearly better?
Lyreco
Our goal is obviously to win the season, I think it's gonna be a really close season once again, but this time the ending will change, and that change is Wolf Pack winning the season.
True, I also believe it'll be a really close season. However if you could take 1 player from any other team, who would it be and why?
Lyreco
Not anyone at the moment, we've got the players we need on every position and don't need anyone.
How do you feel about the continuation of the playoffs system and the splitting of the league into 2 divisions?
Lyreco
It's good, only sad thing to me is that there's no relegation.. I know it's cause there will probably be alot of disbands, but if I were to pick it would be with relegation, much more interesting.
What are your predictions for the league's top scorer, assister and most cs?
Lyreco
Top Scorer is Vak, Nocke Top Assister and most cleansheets anyone but Girl
Which underrated player do you think can surprise the league this season?
Lyreco
Hm, not really anyone coming in mind but if I have to pick it'll be Splat from echo zulu
Finally, what animal would you use to describe Wolf Pack and why?
Lyreco
Hmm what animal.. Id say your mom cause I would sacrifice my own life for Pakistan.
Oh so not a wolf!
Lyreco
End the shit interview already retard
OK thanks and gl for the season!
----------------------
Wolf Pack are coming into this season on the back of a disappointing first game loss to Prayers in last seasons's playoffs, but with a boost in the fact they won the Pre Season Cup this season, their first trophy in BFF, maybe of many! They have the same lineup as last season, this time with Hulk and Lyreco rotating most likely every half, something to watch out for in the fantasy league! Nocke and Vak are still 2 of the very best in their position, and Girl seems to have fixed his previous season's errors in GK, if the preseason is anything to go by. However, a notable addition to the squad is the signing of Gouiri, who probably is the better keeper. However, I still expect Girl to start since this is a group of friends who have been playing for a long time together.

Aim of the season is to ofcourse win the league. We lost to wolfpack in pre ssn finals, happens and im sure we can get revenge in the league
There are rumours in the league of Prayers becoming a superteam, even more than they already were. Any words or info on this?
Kl
I guess these words can be said, i am currently trying to get 2 players, (GK and AM), we still have a strong team currently however activity will be a problem hence the signings of these quality players
A lot of people are adding you to their fantasy team, so congrats for that! Will you reward them by playing yourself most of the time, or rotating to give your other players gametime?

I am not going to be as active as i normally would be due to exams coming up, i will try my best to return the favour however

Prayers have all the motivation they need to come out on top this season and retain the title, after getting schooled by Wolf Pack in the Pre Season finals. They have the squad to do it, as irvi gets more comfortable into futsal and Kl keeps improving. Having a HCL winner on the bench isn't bad either! This season their team may struggle from the loss of Laki, but Nosfe is not a bad replacement by any means. Rumours in the league are of Prayers signing 2 high profile players, 2 of the best in the league in fact. If they achieve this, they will easily be a match for Wolf Pack once again.

This looks to be Predator Eagles' worst season, unless Uzumaki can pull off a madness like in the previous 2 seasons and build a super team to compete with Prayers and Wolf Pack. At the minute, the squad looks a bit thin, but never underestimate the cilek! It is still not a bad team at all, the question is do their individual players have the motivation, as losing badly in 1 or 2 games to the best teams may cause this team to collapse.

First of all, what are your aims for this season?
TheGoal
We are modest, we just want to lose with dignity. Given the circumstances, and the quality of our players, we know it will be impossible for us to do a great performance.
Some of our players have a very great level, but not all of them.
Moreover, we played Futsal since a very short time compared to the other teams that have tryhard since 2 years.
That’s why, in my opinion, we can’t honestly aim the top of ranking. But our top players (me) can do some very good surprises, even with the poor squad.
Damn, seems like you haven't got much faith in taking the Division 1 Title this season. If you could have a player from any other team to boost your squad, who would it be?
TheGoal
Mmh, in my team we like the play style of Wenom and Clinical Striker, they are good players, and respectful, that’s why my team like them.
Which team do you think will take the title this season, and which do you think will finish last?
TheGoal
Last will be us certainly. Winners will be Echo Zulu I hope
And why is that? Have you got something against the other top teams competing this season?
TheGoal
We played against all the teams in offi and fs. Prayers & Wolfpack are those that seems to have play the most, so they will certainly win. But I prefer teams like Echo Zulu or Ez4ence, So I hope they will do a great job.
Ok, that's interesting. Do you have any opinion on the format the league has taken this year, with 2 divisions and the continuing of the Playoffs, and how it affects mid table teams?
TheGoal
It’s a good idea sah. Playoffs will be great to watch.
And finally, what inspirational quote would you use to describe your team?

OK thanks for taking part, and gl for the season!

No offense to the mandem at Champions FC but just because you have a 58% win record in anarchy pubs doesn't mean you are gonna get that here.
