This Weeks Club Spotlight
Footium busy in the transfer market!
We announced another new signing to bolster their squad this week with the addition of Eddy Ferreira! Eddy brings a broad range of expertise to the team with over 10 years of Dev experience already, including a three-year spell as a tech lead for London based games studio Rocabee and Head of Development/Production at a crypto startup. More recently Eddy has been working as a Senior Developer at a fintech company. We are delighted to have someone with such experience join our team and help us continue to build Footium! Eddy supports Crystal Palace and his favourite goal is that Roberto Carlos goal from the corner flag against Tenerife.
Footium Football Special #3
We had our third Footium Football Special with special guests TomFM, Mozza & ZombieRacing who with strong experience with Football Manager, Footium and Zed Run brought expert punditry to the studio! It’s worth having a little watch through to get more of an understanding of how to play Footium when you get added to the beta before we update to our new UI. You can also get some insight from community member Spud who came on and gave his post match thoughts after Weld Stanley march on for a title challenge!
