Accolades and Awards
Now that you know the days, the times, and what exactly we do here, you may be wondering about the extras.... stuff like trophies stuff like awards which you as a player can earn. It's an excellent question in fairness, as players, we all have our own goals and aims when we sign up to VFL, whether that be to just enjoy clubs with mates, or to go all out and win every possible thing you can across the various regions and nations.
Whether you're playing for VFL Lincoln City competing for the VFL League Two title, or VFL Borussia Dortmund and competing for the VFL Bundesliga title, there is ALWAYS something to play for. As you can see on my profile, I have these small little badges attributed to my name. These are various trophies and accolades that I have won during my time on the site. So, for example, lets say you win the Premier League with Chelsea, upon doing that, you will get a little trophy on your profile to signify that you are a Premier League winner, and thus you have that memory there, and that increased reputation to your name. This occurs with EVERY trophy, if you win the Checkatrade Trophy, or a League Two play-off trophy, again, it'll appear on your profile.
On top of that, to keep you competitive week in week out, your performances on the pitch in games played, goals, assists, and all the other stats you record in the VFL game earn you VFL Team of the Week and VFL Team of the Season points. At the end of every game week, the admin team will come together, and draft up TWO team of the weeks. A Higher Tier TOTW, and a Lower Tier TOTW. The best 18 of Higher Tiers (Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga, etc etc) and the best 18 of Lower Tiers (Championship, League One, League Two, Serie B, Liga Adelante etc etc.). Again, these little mementos signal that you as a player have had a fantastic week, and in turn, showcases your consistency. If you'd like to see some of these, take a look below;

Other than that, we have tournaments like the VFL World Cup, where through your domestic performances you'll have the ability to be called up by a variety of our national sides and compete amongst the best. This will be covered in another thread at a later date, as it's only about touching on it now rather than going into great detail on that.
Lastly, we also do some big individual awards in the Xbox One Ballon d'Or and the PS4 Golden Ball. Two awards that signal you were the BEST player in your position on the console that season, again, a high honour to eventually aim for.
