INTERVIEW WITH EDOCKRUL
Hello all virtual footballers. In today's edition, I had the pleasure of interviewing a member of the LaFamilia team. We had the opportunity to get to know each other very well and I don't know why I decided to interview him only now. I would like to introduce you to the player edockrul.
Tell us something about yourself. What's your name, what do you do, any hobbies?
Hello, my name is Mateusz, I’m over 30 years old, I am currently a penguin keeper at the zoo. My hobbies are playing multiplayer games and sleeping.
Why do you have such a nickname and what made you start your adventure with FT?
My original nickname is edoc, when read backwards it's code. Many people thought that I was playing with cheats, so to add fuel to the fire, I came up with a cheat nickname, and the addition "krul" to it comes from an old popular cult of Counter Strike players. I started playing FT by accident because of an advertisement, it was probably the 7th season on the Polish server, but I only ended up having to create an account ^^ 2 seasons later I remembered about it and started playing actively.
What are your ambitions as a club? Stay in SuperLeague, win some Cups?
Of course, I would like to win as much as possible. I'm hungry to win. However, I am not very interested in 1st place in the Super League after the recent changes.
You've been playing LaFamilia for eight months now. How do you rate this club?
A very stable club with a good reputation I learned a lot of things here. I spent a very pleasant time here and managed to achieve the highest goals I could. But lately I've been missing something. I definitely recommend the club to anyone who wants to jump to a higher level.
What would you change/add/remove in FT?
Relos leagues are definitely needed in the game. I would lower the prices of packages and think about some variety for players who do not invest money in the game. I would also like to see events that don't involve paying money. I would also like the cup finalists to receive a trophy or at least a team medal to honor their fight in the tournament.
Do you have enemies here? Individual units or maybe entire teams?
There will be some clubs that I don't like, such as WCIS or Rayo eSports. They repeatedly demonstrated unsportsmanlike behavior, which did not escape my attention. There will also be a few players, but I won't pay attention to them.
Why did you choose the centre forward position?
I chose a striker because I knew I would invest in the game and I thought I would do the most for the team in this position. I wanted to play as an attacking midfielder as I was on the Polish server, but currently this position is not even a shadow of the one from 3 years ago...
How do you like the newly introduced Player Card Packs?
An interesting diversion, a very big bonus for a team in which no one goes to the top of the week in training. But that's not the only advantage of it. Overall, a very cool idea.
If you were to leave LaFamilia for some reason, what team would you target?
Depends on option...If I want to further develop my ambitions, at the moment I see only one club - Stiff Boys. However, if I would like to have more fun with the game, I would choose LaFamilia2 or Polish DF. But who knows what my fate will be?
Would you like to greet someone in particular?
I would like to greet Pecelowski, who is the reason why I did not buy a strong package before the server launch "because they will be better soon" - no, they weren't you mf XD.
Thank you very much for reading the interview to the end. If you would like to ask someone a few questions on various topics, feel free to contact me and I will do my best to publish the interview with this person in the future.

LET’S CHECK THESE TEAMS #5
Dear readers,
My name is Andrew Norbertson and I'm excited to bring you the final installment of my five-part series on four random teams. As always, I'll be taking a look at their skills, numbers, and league table situation. While I'm not ruling out a return to this series in the future, I'm also looking forward to covering other topics to keep things fresh. Without any delay, let's dive in and remember that all the numbers I'm sharing are up-to-date as of 07.10.2023.
The Hakuna Matata team has been a consistent member of the Super League for many seasons. Their impressive record includes winning the league once and also taking home the trophy for winning and defending the European Tournament. These accolades are the pride of the club, but the team is currently going through a rough patch. During the break between seasons, many key players left the team and it seems like the team's former glory has been lost. Hakuna Matata is currently in last place after 25 rounds of league matches, and what's worse is that they have yet to score a single point! With only 15 goals scored and 107 goals conceded, it's hard to remain optimistic. However, with the right transfer moves, the management can turn things around and get the team back on track for next season. I wish them all the best and hope that the team perseveres through this difficult period.
Rayo eSports has been a dominant force in the Spanish league, with numerous achievements under their belt, including topping the league and winning the Domestic Cup. However, this season has been a tough one, with the emergence of their league rival, PEAKY BLINDERS. Both teams are determined to win the league, and after 25 rounds, Rayo eSports are currently in first place, with a one-point lead over their second place rival. The two-legged match between the two teams has already taken place, with each team winning one game. It's still uncertain who will come out on top and win the championship title. When it comes to the Rayo eSports team, some of the best players would have to be Futboler as a defender, Andrzej Dominguez as a midfielder and Rayo Junajted as a striker and team president all in one. They bring a lot of skill and leadership to the team, making them valuable assets on and off the field.
The competition in the current season seems to be intense not only for the Rayo eSports team but also for Łosie w Kosmosie. This team has been dominating the Italian league for quite some time now, having won numerous important trophies. However, this season seems to be different due to the relegation of KS TRZYNACHA from the Super League. They could be the ones to break the reign of Łosie w Kosmosie in the Italian league. After 25 rounds, the difference between the top two teams is just 3 points in favour of KS TRZYNACHA. It's hard to predict who will win the championship, but it will definitely be an exciting race to watch.
KKS Remis Rakieta seems to have quite an impressive history despite currently playing in the 2nd Spanish league. It's interesting to note that they've finished 2nd in the German 1st division twice, 3rd in the Italian 1st division and 7th in the Super League. It's clear that this team has a lot of potential, but unfortunately, their current form does not reflect their past achievements. However, they have secured promotion and are set to return to the 1st league. It remains to be seen if they can reclaim their former glory. I would like to wish you good luck.
The time of this series has come to an end. I want to express my sincere gratitude for your time and attention spent on reading my last 5 articles in this series.

MERGER OF THE AMERICAN AND ENGLISH SERVERS - PLAYERS' OPINIONS
A rather important event will take place in the FT very soon. Merge American and English servers. And in anticipation of that, I talked to the players and asked them what they thought about it.
The players were asked the following question:
The American and English servers will be merged into one. What do you think about it? What are the pros and cons? Your personal expectations.
Let's see what they said.
Let me start by saying that I was shocked when I found out about it. I was hoping that the US server would still be operational after the South American server was closed.
It is also surprising that match times will remain European,, which means that many players will have to give up playing FootballTeam due to time constraints. However, we must state the fact that the American server is dying, mainly the market. The European server will definitely benefit from this merger. I'm looking forward to the competition between two (three) continents. Next season may bring many surprises and unexpected twists in the Super League and other league/cup competitions. I am hopeful that the administration made the right decision.
This is the right move, and I fully support it. Ideally, merge all servers into one and I have a lot to say on this issue, but this will be beyond the scope of the question. More players on the server is a plus, the minus is that the top players will not have enough space in the SL, which means that the fight in the first leagues will become even more boring, the dominance of one or two clubs. Radical changes in the game are needed here.
I feel it's kind of unfair. I've got a lot of info from the top1 player on the US server and I know how much easier it is to play there. Pros:the game gets more interesting (new clubs, new players) cons: it is way easier to progress on the US server so it's a bit unfair for the EU players.
The idea of unification is good and expected. This will give more active players. I take it on the positive side, because there will be more competition, it will be more interesting to play. The disadvantages can only be in the distribution of leagues, several teams can leave the league, their place will be taken by colleagues from America. I think there are more advantages, the average online is higher, the market will get new buyers.
Hmm it is very interesting idea in overall.
The good things are for sure: more players and more good teams which is always good for competitions. But of course we cannot forget about in-game market differences which have a big impact on player develop opportunities, possibilities to purchase items etc. And last but not least - time difference. Some of the US server players have chosen that specific server because of the timezone - so they wouldn’t be happy I think.
I’m also curious about players who have active and well developed accounts on both servers - will they continue to play on both accounts?
I do not have any special expectations from my side. The only thing is that there will be more players and I hope that timezone wouldn’t be an issue.
It's hard to say yet. On the plus side, I can assume that with the arrival of new people, there will be more competition and more interesting matches. It is also possible that the teams will find a boost from the players of the American server. On the other hand, it is not yet clear how the market will react. Raising or lowering prices, for some it is a plus, for someone it is a minus. Also, among the minuses, I include another change in the time zone. And I think the players who came from America are going to suffer more because of that. Also, among the disadvantages for the American server, I will note their level, those who are in the top players and teams will clearly not be in the first roles there. Euroserver is much stronger.
At the end of the article, I want to say that this event is a very important and necessary step that will finally be implemented. What pros and cons the merger will bring, we will find out very soon.
Thank you to all the players who participated in the survey.
