Hello Legends!
Until now, one thing in your career was never really in question: you played. Every week, every match, no matter your form, your stats or your attitude. That ends here.
Your spot is something you defend
There is always someone in the building who wants your role. A young prospect coming through, a teammate quietly getting better than you. You can see him coming for weeks, you know his numbers, and you know how close he is. If you let things slide, he takes your place.
The head coach talks to you
He will not let it happen in silence. When your spot is in danger, he tells you: who is pushing, how close he is, and what you should be doing with your weekends. Follow him and you stay in. Ignore him and you are making a choice, whether you meant to or not.
Team B
Lose your place and you do not disappear into a menu. You join Team B, your club's second squad, and Team B plays its own week: its own friendlies, its own fixtures, its own opponents. No trophies, no league points, no season stats. Just you, proving something.
Coming back
There is a way back, and it is open every single week. Perform in Team B, keep training the way the coach asks, take care of your form, and the gap closes. Play well enough and merit alone can wipe out the rating advantage of the guy who took your place. It never hands you the shirt for free. You take it back.
And if you decide you are done waiting, you can ask to leave. It costs you, but the door exists.
What happens next
Next week the Demo gets updated to 1.3, English only for now. It is the same game you will be playing in the full version, so you can go and feel all of this yourself before anything else.
The full 1.3 comes a few days after. I am doing everything I can to hit that.
Come talk to me on Discord.
See you soon,
Federico
