What Does MFL Stand For?

MFL stands for Metaverse Football League, a web3 platform that emulates the real-world football experience. MFL combines Football, play-to-earn, and blockchain gaming where you can become anything from a single football player to a league owner ambitious to build their own football empire.

What is MFL?

Metaverse Football League (MFL) is a virtual world of football experience. This web3 dApp takes the world's most famous support, changes it to an online game, and then empowers the players with blockchain and GameFi.

Football is not just about playing but it takes a lot of struggles at the management side. Think it’s easy? MFL offers this opportunity in its web3 game to all players. A famous video game FM22 simulated 2 million football seasons where 1.5 million players managed 120 million virtual matches in a single month. The football craze cannot be overstated and MFL is bringing that experience to the blockchain world.

Blockchain games and the GameFi market is expected to reach a valuation of $3 billion by 2028. Currently, in the bearish market, it might look like the NFT market is dead, but the same case has been for Bitcoin many times. However, it always recovers its value.

Since MFL targets a huge audience, it needs to incentivize them to keep up the play. Like other traditional Web3 games, MFL does it through in-game assets converted to NFTs, crypto tokens, and the in-game economy.

MFL Games: How to play MFL?

Metaverse Football League offers different games and modes to play. You can do the player management to play as a single player, do the team management to manage the entire team, or own a club or league. Let’s discuss what these MFL games or MFL game modes are and what role you can take.

Player Management

Usually, the games offer static player performance and other stats that can be upgraded to specific levels. Metaverse Football League, however, offers a dynamic environment where players’ attributes can change depending on various factors like physical and mental conditions, opponent team, etc.

MFL calls this dynamic performance the player's “conditioning”. The conditioning makes the game fun and unpredictable. Also, this makes it a challenge for the person managing that player. There’s a dedicated tab in the game about players’ performance and states. The conditioning factors that impact players’ performance are:

• Energy Level
• Match Fitness
• Morale
• Injury Status
• Training
• Aging
• Potential

Team Management

Club owners have the responsibility of team management. They have to keep a watch on the players' performance, and their training, and keep improving their portfolio of players. Team managers must be very keen on player development as each player contributes to the overall performance of the club, its reputation, and its valuation. This includes player training and tactics.

Team managers can use the following tactics to improve their performance and chance of winning:

Starting Eleven and Substitutes Choosing the right playing 11 and substitute players

Formation Choose a formation to assign players their best spot

Team Mentality You can ask your team to attack and score maximum goals or just defend if your team already has an upper hand

Team instructions Choose the main playing style

Player Instructions You can individually instruct players to increase their odds of winning

Digital Assets in MFL:

In traditional games, players have to pay huge amounts to buy in-game assets that have no intrinsic value outside the game. Also, if the game decides to shut its servers down, everything owned by players inside the game is gone.

However, in web3 games like MFL, the in-game assets are Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) which are owned by players in and outside the game. Moreover, the players can exchange these digital assets on secondary marketplaces like Ethereum-based Opensea or Solana NFT-based Solanart. MFL offers the following digital assets to its community and players:

Players

All players in MFL are visually unique and live on the blockchain as ERC-721 NFT tokens. They are categorized based on their rarity, Potential, attributes, and positions. The players have various traits like identity, personal information, rarity tiers, playing position, and the overall performance indicator: Potential.

Clubs

Like real-world football clubs, the club owners sign contracts with the players. The ownership of the player (NFTs) remains with the original owner and it doesn’t change with these contracts. Club owners hire and train these players.

Clubs are sold as NFT tokens and the owners must license their clubs to sign contracts with the players and play matches. The players’ value in the Metaverse Football League MFL tremendously depends on the Club they are playing in.

Other Football NFTs

Besides Players and Clubs, there are many other digital assets to be represented as NFTs in the MFL. These assets include additional staff like agents, medical staff, and coaches. The infrastructure of the game is also represented as NFTs and holds value. Moreover, different consumables used by the players to keep up their performance are also included in the digital assets of the MFL metaverse.

Takeaway

MFL is no doubt a huge ecosystem that endeavors to explore the football world with a touch of blockchain-based web3 gaming. The gameplay is well thought out and creates value for the MFL and its community. The game economy is mature theoretically and once the game is offered in its fine version, it might bring huge traction.
