MFL with Laird

Season 12 of MFL kicked off Wednesday, and naturally the first question is:👉 What’s the meta?The truth? It’s probably too early to know for sure.But Ryan Walter has been talking to managers across the community, comparing friendly results, reviewing tactical setups, and gathering early signals from what people are actually trying.On today’s MFL with Laird, we:• Discuss early tactical trends from friendlies• Talk formations people are testing• Debate whether possession, pressing, or direct play looks strongest• Break down what might become the Season 12 meta• And ask the bigger question — is it even possible to define a meta this early?This isn’t a definitive answer show. It’s an information-gathering show. And if anyone has early pulse checks from the community, it’s Ryan.If you’re trying to stay ahead of the curve in Season 12, this is the conversation you want to hear.Join MFL! 👉 https://app.playmfl.com/?referrer=F2047CSupport the content by becoming a channel member or joining the Laird Social Club: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird

Club delegation isn’t live in Metaverse Football League (MFL) yet, but we know it’s coming, and it could fundamentally change how MFL operates.In this MFL with Laird stream, I’m joined by Trust the Process to talk through what club delegation might enable once it arrives, including the possibility that a small number of users could effectively control a large number of clubs across the metaverse.We’ll explore:• What club delegation is expected to allow• Why some level of consolidation may be inevitable• Whether delegated “club empires” help or hurt the platform• The difference between ownership, control, and stewardship• What guardrails (if any) might be important long termThis isn’t a reaction stream, it’s a forward-looking discussion about incentives, competitive balance, and the kind of ecosystem MFL is building.Join MFL today: https://app.playmfl.com/?referrer=F2047C

There’s been a lot of heat around the Season 11 MFL match engine—what changed, what broke, and whether clubs need to rethink everything.The truth is: none of us know the exact inner workings of the engine.So in this episode of MFL with Laird, I’m not pretending to decode it. Instead, I focus on what actually matters:• What the match engine represents within MFL• How perceived changes affect player decisions and club planning• Which reactions are reasonable...and which are likely overreactions• How uncertainty itself should factor into your Season 11 strategyThis is about interpreting outcomes, expectations, and incentives—not guessing at hidden formulas.If you’re trying to decide whether to change tactics, rotations, or long-term plans, this conversation is for you.Join MFL today: https://app.playmfl.com/?referrer=F2047C

Today’s MFL with Laird is all about Season 11 planning...and I need your help.I’ll walk through:• Where each of my teams is currently projected for Season 11• How I think they should line up• The formations and tactics I’m leaning toward• Why I’m unsure those are actually the best choicesRather than presenting this as a finished plan, this is a strategy review. I want feedback from experienced managers and newer players alike:• Are these formations logical given my squads?• Am I overthinking or underthinking tactics?• Should I be prioritizing flexibility, progression, or pure results?Drop your thoughts in the comments, I need your help!Join MFL today: https://app.playmfl.com/?referrer=F2047CDon't forget to like and subscribe!
