Welcome @Cyberwolf32, nice to see a player with the same name as the greatest soccer manager of all time! If you have any questions on how to improve your guy or about the league in general, we've got the VHL Discord, where any questions you have will be answered almost immediately, or alternatively you can ask any questions you have on the forum and we'll do our best to get you the answers ASAP! Best of luck!

Just a reminder to VHLM Players who haven't submitted a Media, Graphic or Podcast yet this week that if you don't have the time to do one of those, you have about 6 hours to submit a welfare claim in here for +4 TPE instead. Also, if you haven't already, make sure you claim for the Practice Facility as well HERE

So for this one, here is an update on how the Top-25 TPE draftees in this draft + any player with sizeable updates over the last few weeks on a week-by-week basis. Note: This has been done before the week has concluded so players who have potentially done the mag and yet to submit the TPE (E.g. Chance Matthews and Sidney Crosby) or have just submitted point tasks while this was being made (Jorgon Weyed) have lower TPE for this week than they may have by the actual end of the week. @tfong @Enorama @Jubo07 @McWolf @Arayvenn @Sonnet @DaftRaincloud @ColeMrtz21 @Jose Gonzalez @Toast @SidTheKid87 @Cornflakers @BOOM™ @Frank @Joobles @Doomzday @AdamEss @Pelimies @LordTony @803 @Rykonen @DrHexDex @VV2O4 @Tacocat @ChrisF @nicolas01 @Sublime @nymets5 @Rzerk @Dijital @Zetna @devilsfan35 @brownboy102 @Schmidt @Foehammer @DurdenBrandSoap @mjrv21 @Bdlondon @Rad Russian @DickRobbins @ViIIains @Tigerteeo @oilmandan @Nelson @pierogituxedo @DonaldJWafer @FuzzyLeeroy @Greenert11 @SupaStu @Galchenyuk_is_God @Sook @ZST @Josh Ho-Train @Deft @Claust @Scorpio @ventsan @Sllaym @Jerramy @KyleS56 @colton14 @joeyboucher1 @McCan @libbyfanaccount @Mike_Houle @Reckasaur @Keywi @Kian Lopushinsky @Desjar @T65 @mhart97 @bagelbitesisbae @Nick Blagden @SirRupertBarnes @Potato @UltraMick @Drob127 @RickRandals @Flyershockey90 @Russell Jerome @Steve Razyn @RJHockey21 @Bazmandoo22 @Nyr1994 @DBCrumpets @JaacTree @Tniz15 @ChaceT @Jtww @canucksHD @PremiumFunk @Gravyncarrots @JohnnyT_77 @Shou Tian @eaglesfan036 @KnucklePuckAdam @Flare @toshimann @Pauly51 @Kisshan @Joubo @RealJohny211 @madmonstermax @hedgehog337 @PaintingItOrange @Ruggiero10 @Steveziedoesit @monkeywrench15 @Dude @Rosco @Jonah38 @JR0B13 @Peace @Fizzwidget

Best of luck!

@Will Are there going to be any updates done in the sim in the near future? Looking at the logs, some people haven’t been updated in a couple of weeks (e.g. Matt Thompson still has 90 scoring, he updated past that on Sept 7th).

You're an S64 player, so you aren't eligible for it this season, but will be next season!

Just a heads up, any TPE totals below 10 TPE get rounded up to 10 TPE, so at least you'll be getting a decent amount of TPE from it.

Asking the new questions now as I won't be on tomorrow If you've already answered enough questions in other press conferences to reach 2 TPE for this week, then you do not need to answer these questions (These questions here do NOT grant an additional 2 TPE on top of the 2 TPE you've already earned from asking/answering questions in other conferences). 1) We posted the VHLM Achievement Tracker for this season up for S63 draftees or players who've already been drafted to claim up to 20 TPE: a) (If you're eligible to claim) How much TPE are you set to earn this season and are you happy with your total? b) (If you're a Season 64 Draftee) What stats do you feel like you'll wind up claiming TPE for with your player in Season 64? 2) The playoffs are on the verge of starting today with the Wild-Card round which sees the Saskatoon Wild face the Oslo Storm in a 3-game series, with the winner facing the Halifax 21st in the semi-finals. Do you like the idea of the wild-card game or would you prefer to see playoffs contested solely between the top 4 teams? 3) There's a VHLM GM job opening available for the Oslo Storm, how do you feel you would do in such a role? 4) If the role didn't go to you, which member would you like to see take over the Oslo Storm? 5) The Aces and the Lynx are set to do battle in a tightly contested semi-final series, who do you think will wind up winners of the series? 6) The VHLM Magazine is currently three issues strong, what are your thoughts on the Magazine?

Hi there and welcome to another edition of the VHLM Newsletter, a series of articles that will be posted on the VHL forums every Tuesday to let you know exactly what’s going on in the league, how you can earn more points for your player and some extra tips to help you on your way! As always, I’d like to kick things off by telling you all about the VHL Discord. A lot of you are already in this and can probably attest to how helpful it’s been, but if you aren’t in it already you should definitely give it a shot, especially if you have any questions about the league as that will be the quickest place to get them answered! Like the last VHLM Newsletter, some of this newsletter will re-tread on old ground as, with this being a VHLM newsletter, there will inevitably be new members reading this for the first time that won’t be aware of what was in previous newsletters. So what I’ll do is put a bold *NEW* next to any information specifically made for this newsletter so players who have read these before know where to go to find the new info! VHLM Achievement Tracker *NEW* The VHLM Achievement Tracker is now open to submissions HERE! Analyse the templates used in the top post, compare them to your stats and select the 2 attributes (not required if you’re a goalie) that will get you the most TPE. If you haven’t performed that great this season, don’t worry; any player’s tracker that adds up to below 10 TPE will be rounded up to 10 TPE! (Note: This is only available to players who are eligible for the Season 63 VHL Draft or have already been selected in a VHL Draft. Season 64 VHL Draftees are not eligible) VHL Twitter There’s only a few more days for you to claim your three uncapped TPE for following and retweeting the VHL’s recruitment tweet. You can find more information on how you can claim your TPE HERE VHLM Magazine *NEW* The third edition of the VHLM Magazine has been submitted and we’ve got new writers Sonnet, Jose Gonzalez and Bagelbitesisbae writing their debut articles for the mag. You can read the magazine HERE and if you want to be alerted as soon as the next magazine is available, you can subscribe HERE VHLM Playoff Structure *NEW* When we added the Halifax 21st to the VHLM as the league’s sixth team, we hadn’t announced how that would affect the VHLM Playoffs and outside of the simmers, nobody in the league actually knew how it was scheduled to play out. Luckily, I managed to get confirmation from Will as to the correct playoff setup, which is as follows: - 5 Team Playoff (Team that finishes in last place does not make playoffs) - Wild-Card round between the teams that finished 4th and 5th (Best of 3 series) - In the Semi-Finals, the Wild-Card winner will face the team that finished 1st while the teams that finished 2nd and 3rd will play each other (Best of 7 series) - The Final is between the winners of the two Semi-Final series (Best of 7 series) The VHLM (Playoff Preview)*NEW* There’s only four total games left in the VHLM (they might even be simmed by the time this is up!) and while not everything is completely set in stone as of yet, it’s pretty much settled as to what teams are going to play in the playoffs and who they’ll be playing against. The only place in the standings that has yet to be completely determined is which team is finishing in 5th place between the Saskatoon Wild and the Yukon Rush. Both teams have two games left to play and the Yukon Rush are three points behind, so could get in with two victories from their last two games. Unfortunately for the Rush, their two games are against the top two teams in the league, and they’ve not recorded a win all season against one of them, so the chances of them making the playoffs are very limited. Presuming the Saskatoon Wild progress to the playoffs as expected, they will go on to face the Oslo Storm in the Wild-Card round. While the Storm have been ahead of the Wild for pretty much the entire season, the record when these two teams have played each other has been very even, with the Storm having won seven games and the Wild having won six. Going off of recent results would lean in favour of the Wild though as, despite Oslo adding the very talented Kisshan Shan, to their roster, the Wild have come out on top in four of their last five encounters. Whoever wins that matchup will go on to face the league leading Halifax 21st, a task that will be extremely difficult for the two teams that finished in the lower half of the standings. The 21st initially had their struggles against the Wild earlier, losing three games to them, but since they acquired Dylan Nguyen and Ryuu Crimson from the Wild, they’ve been able to take them down a lot easier. The 21st nearly racked up a perfect 14-0 record against the Storm, however a penalty shootout victory for the Storm in game 165 made sure they didn’t end the season blown out by the 21st. Either way, it looks like the 21st should comfortably be making the VHLM Final, where they will play either the Las Vegas Aces or the Ottawa Lynx. The Aces/Lynx matchup looks set up to be an instant classic. Both teams have exchanged victories at an even rate (7 victories each) which has lasted throughout the season (the last eight games between the two have finished with both teams being the victor four times and in the last six games, there was only one goal to separate the winners from the losers). This matchup will also see the two most likely contenders for the VHLM Top Goalie award going head-to-head in Alexander Pepper and Kallis Kriketers, two goalies that are separated by just 0.001% save percentage. Should Halifax make it through to the Final as expected, whichever of the Aces/Lynx makes it through will likely be seen as the slight underdog given that the 21st have winning records in the regular season over both of them (21st are 8-6 over the Aces, 9-7 over the Lynx), With one of the 21st big reasons for their success being their strong performance on the Powerplay however (the 21st have had 100 Powerplay goals, 27 more than the Lynx and 45 more than the Aces), it will be interesting to see how that works into a series against either a Lynx team that has a very strong defensive core or an Aces team that is only 1 penalty minute off of being the most disciplined team in the league. New Members *NEW* We’ve got a few new faces in who will be eligible for both the Season 63 VHLM Draft and the S64 VHL Draft! So a warm welcome to RyanZabby, Philliefan, JG10 and Wiggo!

Trivia Assistance *NEW* For this instance of the trivia, I’ve actually acquired all four possible questions, so if you’ve already submitted for a question, but you don’t know the answer, you’ll definitely be able to find the help you need here. 1a. As of Season 60, of the eight current General Managers, who is the only one who has never been a VHLM General Manager? So, because this is a question that was asked some time ago, I will help you out a little here. The General Managers as of Season 60 were Bushito, STZ, Banackock, DollarAndADream, Hedgehog337, Tyler, Higgins and Beaviss. So if you use the VHLM All-Time GM page, you can figure out which of those eight never managed in the VHLM. 2a. What season was the first Hall of Fame players inducted and who were they? The Hall of Fame inductees page is ordered by year of induction, so should be easy enough to find the answer here 3a. Who was the 1st GM of the now-defunct Cologne Express? Like Question 1, you can find out all of the league’s General Managers and when they served in the VHL All-Time GM page 123b. Who was the first player to win both Stolzschweiger Trophy and Boulet Trophy? So this is a bit of a deceptive question as this would imply that the player won both awards at the same time, which has never happened. So the correct answer to the question will the player who won both awards first, you can find that by looking through the Stolzschweiger and Boulet award threads respectively. Thanks to Enorama and McWolf for providing the extra Trivia Questions!
