5.0
Name: Erfaon Lisdiren
Age: 28
Team: Colonial Sile
Notable Skills: Excellent diving, likes to do acrobatics (though not excessively)
Bio: Lisdiren is one of the four key players which are the "base" of the team. With the extremely, almost insane, attacking style that Farfadillis employs, it's obvious that they need a goalkeeper that's more than just good. Lisdiren is just that. He can turn a wonder-goal into a wonder-save at almost any time. He obviously concedes a lot of goals nonetheless, but when you compare the amount of goals he concedes with the amount of shots he stops, it's something you can simply ignore. He's not that good with handling, mind you. Probably, the most effective way to score against him is to shoot powerfully and cross fingers for a lucky rebound. However, Rossizzo is well aware of his achilless' heel, and so has made Faró aware of this, so even that method may be inefficient. He does sometimes commit some errors, but it's just so rare that you could blame many goalkeepers for doing the same before blaming him. Overall, a great pillar of the team, and consitent in the tightest sense of the word. Recently signed for Colonial Sile along with Santos Alaminos.
Name: Sifé Rigutti
Age: 21
Team: Ousteeble TU
Notable Skills: Secure, can put up with pressure
Bio: After a wonderful Di Bradini Cup, in which Farfadillis finished second, Rigutti managed to move to Earent's Ousteeble TU and secure a place as a substitute goalkeeper. Rigutti is a very good goalkeeper, who seems unaffected by pressure and is overall secure. What keeps him from taking Lisdiren's starting position is mainly how inferior he's in every respect that isn't handling. However, he's a very good and secure goalkeeper and will perform well if he's needed.
Name: Ârgó Mô
Age: 32
Team: Fragardallians
Notable Skills: Third choice goalkeeper, so pretty average
Bio: Mô is the third choice goalkeeper, so obviously nobody cares and he's probably here just to be able to watch the matches for free and maybe get some extra training for his performances for Fragardallians. He may or may not get some cake as well.
Name: Agundí Frêndê
Age: 28
Team: Neuville Scythers
Notable Skills: Incredible dribbler and permanent attacker
Bio: If you look up "Farf Side Back" in the dictionary, a picture of this guy is what will appear. He's ok defensively, if he ever actually defends, and he joins the attack really well and constantly. He's very good with passing and, more than anything else, dribbling. He's good when he gets to shoot, too, and he has shown to be a good all-around player in all other offensive aspects. He's one of those players you will use only if you really like offensive football, or if it's your only real option, which Rossizzo has concluded. He's one of the very few side backs that can claim that their offensive input outweighs the hazardousness of lacking a defender there. Faró with his speed and Alaminos with his completeness, are expected to patch up the holes he leaves on the defense should he be sent in, though Alaminos is no saint when it comes to joining the attack either. He's been here since the very beginning, and he may have missed out on the starting position for some time, but he's still the third most capped player. His mere presence means that Farfadillis must play attacking football. Whether this is good or bad is up for everybody to judge. He'll forever live in the fans' memories, that's for sure.
Name: Rancisc Faró
Age: 22
Team: Red Star Severny
Notable Skills: Fast defender, very skilled with the ball and with impeccable reflexes
Bio: Dandalleion's half-brother by his mother side, who seems to take after him in many ways. To start off, he's incredibly fast as well, he's very skilled and he started his carrer with swamp football. After that, many players of the team have claimed that he behaves in a very similar way. Lastly, they both have the same way of running, dribbling, passing and reacting that you can clearly notice is special in some way when you see them. He started his association football career at Northern Sunrise Islands, with Project +90, a youth team from said country, but quickly moving to Melville Celtic, a Polarian Team. He has recently moved to Red Star Severny following Celtic's relegation.
Name: Santos Alaminos
Age: 21
Team: Colonial Sile
Notable Skills Constant offensive threat, tireless, very good defensively
Bio: Say hello to one of Farfadillis' finest new young talents. Alaminos recently became the first player to win a UICA competition, having won the first edition of the U-19 Champions' Cup. He demonstrated all his talent during the twenty-eighth Di Bradini Cup, where he got a silver medal. Alaminos is a constantly threatening and very skilled player who is capable of coping with pressure easily. He can get long passes to wherever he wants and with incredible precision. Most likely, however, his talent lies in how he will do anything to recover the ball. He's very gifted defensively-speaking as well, but he's tireless when it comes to that, so that's a plus too. His sliding tackles are incredibly precise, as he's got a kind of "vision" for them: he can tell whether he'll get there or not, thus sliding a lot more than usual yet not committing more fouls than anyone else. He's also willing to help the team at his expense, like receiving a red card to stop a goal or passing the ball when facing the goalkeeper to make sure the ball enters the opponent's goal. He just recently showed his other face, however, being incredibly talented at finding holes in the opponent's game and abusing them with precise dribbling and passing, which means he'll take an offensive approach this World Cup. A good way of noticing just how good he is is that he replaced Frêndê in the starting line-up, even though he was one of the "founding" players that had been called up for World Cup 60's qualifyings. Frêndê replaced Wii-Tzaara afterwards.
Name: Vrotaoa Wii-Tzaara
Age: 27
Team: Nostromo Meteorites
Style: Very organized and good defensively, knows how to join the attack but does it relatively conservatively
Bio: Farf by his mother's side and Vilitan by his father's side. Wii-Tzaara is still kind of a foreigner, having yet to step on Farf territory for reasons other than football. He's a very organized player who knows how to join the attack, though he does it conservatively. He's the extra defensive boost Farfadillis needs sometimes. He will most likely be the first substitution made when Farfadillis needs a more defensive approach, which would usually mean a very attacking approach nonetheless.
Name: Leo Fakkotti
Age: 22
Team: Avenida Principal
Style: Very balanced, knows how to defend and attack and blends both perfectly, can easily put up with pressure
Bio: Fakkotti was, along with Kâí and Alaminos, one of the stars of the show during Farfadillis' run last Di Bradini Cup. He's a very balanced player for a Farf side back as he knows how and when to attack and defend. He's very versatile, as he's ambidextrous, so he's likely to get at least some minutes.
Name: Yurpá Mêndêlöíndçêl
Age: 23
Team: Oyardo FC
Notable Skills Very energetic, decent when it comes to technique and superb defensively.
Bio: Yurpá, the second of the four pillars. Farfadillis would be nothing without him, the guy who stops goals, recovers the ball, organizes the team, assists, shoots from long distances flawlessly, runs throughout the match and even heads well. His progress has been astonishing, as he started as a good defensive midfielder, but now he's a key player from every perspective. You could easily drop "defensive" from his position, however, as he's truly offensive as well. His life hasn't been as good as his career, however. He had to abandon his family at Ruland one night to pursure his dreams, and hasn't been able (See: Not his intention) see his father again. He got to meet his family for a few months when he was loaned out to Mâ Âlâmëómë due to a terminal illness his mother suffered, which ended up not being terminal after he managed to provide some treatments. However, he's not managed to see his father again, as he had died the previous year. He's won the heart of Oyardo's fans, having taken them (as some people claim) from a league hopper to an established "big" team there, qualifying for the Globe Cup a few times already. He was recently awarded a place in the ideal XI of the Astograthian League, as well as the silver award for best player of the league, second only to the Vanorian legend Laborious Hawk, which does show just how good Yurpá is. His greatest weakness is probably how difficult to type his name is.
Name: Risko Kâí
Age: 19
Team: Urbizania Wanderers
Notable Skills: Impeccably fast, very good at dribbling and defending
Bio: After some fantastic performances as a substitute for the U-21 squad last Di Bradini Cup, Risko has gotten nothing less than the starting position in the national team, something not even he expected. He's impeccable with the ball, as well very fast without it, what with being from Ruland and so on. His defending is also very good, and he's not one to cave under pressure either. He recently moved to Urbizania Wanderers, being loaned out to Antiguoko. For the national team he's shown to yield results after the team got a third place in AOCAF Cup 41 and got to the Round of 16 of the World Cup. What makes things better is that in the latter he was tremendous in every way.
Name: Cleto Mata
Age: 19
Team: Gwinevra Barbarians
Style: Likes to dribble his way out of the box, excellent defender
Bio: Mata's been playing for Farfadillis since the U-15 team. He was in the first edition of the U-15 World Cup (then called World Championship), where he shone. He joined the Di Bradini Cup runner-up squad, getting enough minutes to show how good he was. Having to compete with Faró was a tough challenge and so he had to be relegated as a substitute. However, Rossizzo did spot him as something special, so he just called him up. He recently signed for Gwinevra Barbarians of Apox, joining Rancisc Tenian there. Mata is known mainly because of how he's an excellent defender, but can also dribble his way out of the box and take the team out of a tight situation. He may not join the attack, but he does serve it on a silver plate. As soon as Rossizzo noticed the lack of right midfielders after deciding to stop calling up the Mî twins, he offered Mata the spot as right midfielder. Naturally, he won't be as good as he'd be playing in his natural position, but an opportunity is an opportunity, he argues, and he'd never refuse defending Farfadillis.
Name: Alex Terán
Age: 20
Team: La Nueva Avenida
Notable Skills: Good passing, vision, dribbling and ball-recovery. Very good to tactically. Box-to-box, shadow striker and versatile.
Bio: The all-around midfielder who defends La Nueva Avenida's colours seems to have caught the attention of Rossizzo after many man-of-the-match performances last season, in which his team ended as runners-up. He's not a serious guy, often sacrificing duty for fun. He claims to play the game because it's really fun for him, although he admits some games are certainly not fun, but just a lot of pressure. Terán may not have been called up for the Di Bradini Cup runner-up squad, but he's still one of the best from this generation. He won his place on the starting eleven not so long ago, and looks really solid now.
Name: Ichi Tuzzio
Age: 23
Team: Makosile United
Notable Skills: Very good at shooting from long distances, excellent dribbler, agile, and good playmaker.
Bio: Say hello to Ichi Tuzzio, the third pillar. Born in Dodeni, Dandillis, swiftly moved to Farfadillis when a scout found out his potential. Tuzzio has been slightly out of form lately, but he's still a beast. His dribbling is impressive, so are his shots and so is his finishing. He's a great shadow striker, as he scores a lot in many different ways. Among them, the most common ones are shots from the edge of the box, one-on-ones, though rebounds and headers aren't that uncommon either. What is most likely the most remarkable of his skills, however, is how he's got an eye for attacking. He's got the dirbbling and the passing for it, but he also can spot any weakness in the opponent's defense in a split second, often leaving Dandalleion all alone or dribbling two defenders to get inside the box. He's been moving around Vilita and Turori for some time, having played in three different teams there already, and is without a doubt one of the most famous players around there.
Name: Armando Elevado
Age: 19
Team: Falourr
Notable Skills: Very defensive, can play decently offensively
Bio: Elevado is one of the many high quality defensive midfielders Avenida Victoria has managed to form with its youth system. He's a very passionate player, but not one that gets carded every single match. Much to the contrary, he's very clean when recovering the ball and thinks that comitting a foul makes you look as a bad player, unless it's a pretty necessary foul. Armando hasn't got the chance to make his debút yet. He barely played a few matches for Avenida Victoria before moving to Euran team Falourr following some great performances during the Di Bradini Cup in which Farfadillis ended second.
Name: Ikkon Karrka
Age: 21
Team: Barbury Town
Notable Skills: Aggressive, incredibly skilled, good playmaker, very persistent, incredible long shots, including free kicks
Bio: Ikkon Karkka is part Hujukian, part Farf, though more of the latter than the former. Born in Hujukialand, and having lived there for four years during his childhood, he's inevitably aggressive. Hujukialand is the very definition of a hell-hole, where you're statistically dead before you reach twenty. Karkka is probably the most offensive player of the team, which says a lot. As having been born in a place that plays so offensively and having been brought up in Farfadillis just grants you some kind of mindset for football, is dribbling is impressive and his shots almost unmatched. He can dribble anyone but is useless excrement when it comes to defending.
Name: Rancisc Tenian
Age: 25
Team: Gwinevra Barbarians
Notable Skills: Playmaker, sometimes scores directly from crosses
Bio: Tenian was one of the first Farf players to play abroad. Loved in Apox, he returned to the starting line-up not too long ago, after Rossizzo mistakenly left him out. He sometimes scores directly from crosses, regardless of difficulty. At first it was thought that it was just luck, but he's done it so many times now that people know he does it on purpose. He's always played as a midfielder, but with Mêrí's recent mediocreness up front, and Tenian's stunning performances as a striker throughout his stay in Apox, Rossizzo found the perfect solution. Sure, someone's got to cover the right midfielder position, and that someone will have to be good to fill the void, but Rossizzo can always work his way around things.
Name: Friekder Dandalleion
Age: 24
Team: Jungle Strike
Notable Skills: Astonishingly Fast, always helps on the offense, a bit on the defense, tends to score goals by outrunning players.
Bio: Dandalleion's story is one of progress followed by progress followed by progress. He started off as a swamp football player with no experience in 11-a-side football beyond having played with his school's team. He surprised everyone during the Swamp Football World Cup and was called for trials for Ferdullaele's squad, which was the best Farf team back then. He surprised everyone, and soon got the starting position. From there, he only climbed, getting to the national team and afterwards becoming an important member of it. Now, he's the fourth pillar, and there's many reasons for that. To begin with, his speed is astonishing. It is to such extent that he participated in Orean during the Olympic Games, getting a gold and a bronze medal, as well as getting to the 200m final. Most likely the fastest footballer around, at least when it comes to official records. His other skills are just as good, however. He's got an eye for the goal. His dribbling, crossing, passing, vision, football IQ and just about every attacking skill are very good as well, though maybe outshone by his speed. But his speed... it just makes him any defender's nightmare. He can also score in many different ways, and can endure 120 minutes matches at full pace, though not without feeling exhausted, obviously. He's one of Jungle Strike's key players, as well as the only Farf player to have gotten to a Champions' Cup final, which Strike lost to Four Bits Irregulars from Wight (Who were those, again?).
Name: Nazeau Roga
Age: 22
Team: Iturributa United
Notable Skills: Turned out to be really good, apparently
Bio: Previously a mystery call-up, he's now turned out to be a really good player, following some great performances for Iturributa United, getting the top scorer award of the Iturributan league and even getting to the Globe Cup final. Not a starter yet, as he's got some great competition, but he's likely to get, at the very least, a decent amount of minutes.
Name: Sê Mêrí
Age: 23
Team: FC Torshavn
Notable Skills: Excellent shooting and crossing, very good dribbling and quite speedy
Bio: Mêrí is one of those dangerous players you have to look out for. He demonstrated he could snatch a starting a position during World Cup 63, when he actually did following a great performance against Yesopalitha. Mêrí has benefitted from his advantures at Polar Islandstates, but he seems to have failed to cope with expectations, specially Rossizzo's. He will, obviously, still get minutes as the first-in-line substitute striker, but he's not a starter anymore.
Name: Vasilije Østergård
Age: 22
Team: Avenida Victoria
Notable Skills: Playmaking striker. Precise shooting from anywhere. Excellent dribbling.
Bio: He's characterized for leaving his teammate attackers with best-case-scenario opportunities. His playmaking is often too much for defenders. He's extremely precise at shooting, often fetching the upper-corners with elegance. His dribbling is much better than average and he tends to administrate it well: just as much dribbling as needed to create an opportunity. Østergård became a starter with Flying Jellyfish a few years ago, almost breaking a record for youngest player to make his first appearance. After this success, he was transferred to Avenida Victoria. Completely settled with Avenida Victoria, might settle soon with the national team. He's shown he's worthy of the opportunities he gets, not having outshone anyone in the team but not having disappointed either. He's a very likely replacement for any of the centre attacking midfielders or the strikers.
Name: Lorenzo Fuego
Age: 20
Team: La Nueva Avenida
Notable Skills: Extremely Fast, good passing, great finisher, impeccable dribbler, tireless
Bio: Fuego's set of skills is the best combination for a striker. He's really fast, he's very good finishing and dribbles perfectly, while not deeming any ball as lost, and being good at passing as well. His performances for La Nueva Avenida have been really good, and there's a lot expectations the people have for him. Fuego is no doubt a guy with a future, just as his teammate.
Farfadillis is known for its extremely attacking style, which consists of constantly looking for the goal and counterattacking whenever the chance arises, if the team even got to defending in the first place.
The goalkeeper is usually very talented, as growing up in Farfadillis as a goalkeeper is a great way of learning to stop shots, which are excessive. It's also one of the most important positions, as this is generally a great leader and an extra security to prevent conceding goals.
The backline is generally not that defending, with a centre back which is the only player almost 100% concentrated on defending. The side backs tend to join the attack. However, this depends on the player. It usually ranges from many times to countless times.
The midfield is very crowded, as a backline of three players allows for it. There's generally a defensive midfielder, which takes care of recovering the ball and distributing it appropriately. The defensive midfielder is generally tireless and shoots very well from long distances. There's then side midfielders, which join the attack and defend a lot. They're the soul of the team in a way, as they're vital for both defending and attacking. They tend to score a lot, as well, as they're pretty good at either shooting, dribbling, passing or two/all of them. There's then two centre attacking midfielders, a notable characteristic of the Farf national team. The two attacking midfielders are terrible defensively, and rarely ever carry out defensive tasks. However, they're talented at wreaking havoc by different means. These two are generally the most important threats of the attack, and the cntre of the Farf attack, which is very flexible as the team can attack through the flanks with the midfielders or the centre with this deadly duo. The centre attacking midfielders tend to be the most talented players, but some strikers are equally are good or better.
Finally, there's the strikers, the icing of the cake. Farf strikers tend to be very agile and deadly when finishing. They're also very good at dribbling and passing, plus they always seem to be at the right time in the right place. There's a great variety of Farf strikers, but there's just two spots available for them. Strikers are usually just another piece of the engine, but they tend to carry out more tasks than other players, such as having to score while having to receive passes from the attacking duo, or heading crosses from the side midfielders. Being a striker for Farfadillis is suitable only for the fittest players.
Due to Farfadillis' pervasive attacking style, very few teams can say they've managed a clean sheet against them after they first qualified for the World Cup, with East Shippensburg, New Gordonopia, Ko-oren and Kinitaria being the only ones capable of achieving that up to now, while Thatius can claim they survived 90 minutes, before conceding in extra time during AOCAF Cup 39's quarterfinals. It's not uncommon for Farfadillis to score more than three goals in a game, too. However, this comes with a huge drawback, which is conceding many goals. It's also not uncommon for Farfadillis to concede around two goals in a match. Farfadillis' style of play has been generally regarded, with just one word, as "exciting".
La Fantás (100,000 seats)
Say hello to Farfadillis' still-somewhat-new stadium! Having recently hosted the Champions' Cup's 50th final, it showed to be a great stadium. It's got many, many, many seats, and it's filled with violent Farves, fanatics without any limits willing to shoot each and every one of your nation's fans! Not really, those are just a minority, albeit an incredibly loud one. No, seriously, gun shots are very loud.
