Recommendations
The FVPA work hard with EA to give as much vital feedback as they can and in turn are recognised by EA as the leading UK site for clubs.
You can see another of the FVPA promo videos below where EA's Romily Broad recommends the FVPA as:
"the Premier place to play clubs if you speak English".
Another great site to back the FVPA is the very well known and respected FIFASoccerBlog.com
David Bryant (Senior Editor) writes in his article:
We’ve met the guys who run FVPA countless times at FIFA play tests and besides the fact that the website is run extremely well, they’re top blokes as well. What a lot of people won’t know either is that they invest a lot of time in FIFA behind the scenes and amongst their staff are many EA Gamechangers.
The good news is that the FVPA are only going to get bigger and better for FIFA 12 because a major site update is in the works to help make the communities FIFA 12 Clubs experience the very best available. As soon as this happens we’ll let you know but it should launch around the release of FIFA 12.

The FVPA look forward to seeing it's clubs community grow and will strive harder to supply the best clubs experience that any website can offer and hope to see you join and become a part of the fastest growing UK clubs website there is.
