    New for This Season: No X-Factors

    The upcoming season introduces a groundbreaking change aimed at redefining the competitive 6v6 eHockey scene. In a bold move to emphasize pure skill and strategy, FCL has - aligned with the GCL, SCL and WECL - decided to ban the use of all X-Factors, both Gold and Silver.

    This decision marks a significant shift in gameplay, as X-Factors have long played a crucial role in shaping team dynamics and individual performances. By removing these abilities, FCL aims to test out a more balanced and skill-driven environment, where players must rely on raw talent and tactical planning.

    This rule change across the board is based on community requests and is expected to bring a new dynamic to competition, challenging players to adapt and develop new strategies. We know this is a subject that splits the communities opinion and are very interested in receiving feedback from the teams during and after the season and it is critical for shaping the decision on what kind of ruling will be implemented into the ECL '25: Spring Season. Please submit your feedback here, rather sooner than later.

    For clarity, the X-Factor ban does not apply to the 1v1 game mode.

     

    Tournament Prizing

    • 6x NHL 26 digital copies + 6x Leijonat packages* for 6v6 winners

    Looking for a team - or team looking for players? Here is some advice! 

     

    Free Agents EU - PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series X|S


    In this forum section, you can register as a free agent or search for new players for your team. 
    You will find a "reply to topic" section under the last message on the page where you can post your own free agent message. In this message, you can briefly tell us about yourself, what position you are looking to play, and how to best reach you.

    Please note that a community account is required in order to post a message. Please also note that this forum section is only for free agent messages.
     

    EU Clubs looking for players - PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series X|S

     

    In this section of the forum, you can let everyone know when your team is looking for players, which means free agents can find teams by browsing this thread. You will find a "reply to topic" section under the last message on the page. Here you can write your "club looking for players" post where you tell us about the club and what kind of player you are looking for. You can look for good tips for your post in the numerous posts written by other clubs.

    Please note that both of these above-mentioned forum threads are meant only for writing the "ads". When you see something you're interested in, please use private messaging (e.g. SportGamer, Discord, PSN or Xbox Live) to contact them. Usually, the writer of the post will let you know how to best get in touch. So here is your reminder: whenever you post, remember to mention how to best get in touch with you.

     

    Useful tips

    In addition to these previous tools, we recommend you to be active and try to play as much as possible.

    • On our Discord server, you will find a section called "free for tonight"
      In this section, you can sign up for free play and of course, if you're lucky you might find some people that want to play with you in the future.
       
    • Another good tip that works is to add "FA" or "Free Agent" to your player's name in the game so that your teammates and opponents can see during the game that you are looking for a team.
