Hi all, and welcome to the first edition of the XEFA Updates. First out is the League I missed to do last time around - the Premiership.

Then we have the Tactics Corner, were I speak to a top side about their tactical thoughts. And lastly, we have the Playtime Question, were I ask a random question and were the quickest one to answer the question correctly will be rewarded by having their name placed in the XEFA chatroom topic.

4. TACTICS CORNER

..with Rafael Popovic, manager of King Krimson FC. Constant top side of the world, currently ranked 16th, and Rafael is facing his best Prem position ever, currently placed 2nd. Is set to play the Gold Cup Final against Vasco mendes' 4th ranked Dragon team.

What is your tactical philosophy in FML?
Of course the 4-3-3, attacking 4-3-3

How do you approach your tactics when you create them? Do you complete them at once or are they constantly changing?
Usually I try to complete my tactic and use it but during the matchesi see what happen on the pitch and change something , like pressing, def line, att mindset, and so on

Do you give all players a specific role to the team or do you believe in dividing the team in several groups - like Defense, Support, Attack?
I like the simmetry so i work on the specific groups, u never will see a player on the right not in line with the other on the left and so on, in my team at least, ^_^

Do you usually tick the Free Role and Hold Up Ball buttons on individual players? Do you feel they serve a purpose?
Yeah I use both... but i can't say if it work... I like to think yes!!!

What are your best tips for tactical beginners that would like to be as succesful as you?
Play the 4-3-3 of course with a TM in the centre and 2 fast forwards near him... very important to play the 4-3-3 are the WBs cos they have to go up & down on their side

Alright, thanks for your time Rafa and good luck in the Gold Cup Final
thx Dennis... I need it,

6. THE INTERVIEW

..with Matt "Dark Knight" Fletcher, manager of Droitwich FC. Famous for breaking the Not Winning Record in the 1st season. Our very own mod in the XEFA.

Dennis "The Riddler" Moberg says:
Since the XEFA was established 4 seasons ago, you have participated in 4 different leagues. Which have you enjoyed the most, and how do you feel the current one - the Prem - is?

Matt "Dark Knight" Fletcher says:
I guess enjoyed is a hard word, I really enjoyed winning my div1 that was tough and i went on a great run at the end to win it that was very satifying, But both the prem this season and the champ last were great for a challenge although the Prem seems too much for my little team

Dennis "The Riddler" Moberg says:

Yes, you are a little team but one can't think about you without thinking about Cristiano Ronaldo. Avaraging over 7.4 every season, one of the stars of the game, and now you're selling him. How do you feel about him and why is he departing?

Matt "Dark Knight" Fletcher says:
Abit sad i love him on the game he does cause such problems for defences in GW12 with Torres aswell he was unstoppable. I guess i want a change even if i don't get much money for im i want a new team a new challenge and a team that plays in a totally different style

Dennis "The Riddler" Moberg says:
You are currently projected to be relegated back down to the Championship. What has went wrong this season - or have you been expecting this from the beginning?

Matt "Dark Knight" Fletcher says:
I have had some unlucky results but the fact is I haven't had any money to improve my team due to stadiums therefore there still at championship level

Dennis "The Riddler" Moberg says:
Anything you think you could have done better now when you look back at the season - not that it's finished yet...

Matt "Dark Knight" Fletcher says:
not really i think its just that i couldn't improve my team to make the step up

Dennis "The Riddler" Moberg says:
Pavel Caicedo has committed the most fouls in the Premiership; 155. Do you feel you're too offensive and that this might cause it, or is Caicedo simply past his prime?

Matt "Dark Knight" Fletcher says:
lol didn't know that, fullbacks always seem to do the most fouls on this game though, prob his age is catching up with him

Dennis "The Riddler" Moberg says:
Now, since we're talking to XEFA's very own Mod... How do you feel the XEFA is as a community? And do you have any secret plans you wish to share with our readers?

Matt "Dark Knight" Fletcher says:
XEFA has a great community some very passionate and addicted users, its been a pleasure to be part of it tbh. Secret plans....like changing the name and kicking everyone out?....lol no no secret plans.

Dennis "The Riddler" Moberg says:
Thanks for your time and good luck with the remainder of the season - think you'll be able to survive?

Matt "Dark Knight" Fletcher says:
no , sunk, thanks Denny
