Xpert Eleven - Online Footie Manager

[CaleyD]

I stumbled upon an online Footie Manager game called Xpert Eleven which looks quite interesting.

I have set up a league called CaleyThistleOnline for those who want to give it a try.

League ID is 61170 or you can use the direct link http://www.xperteleven.com/?lid=61170

Once we have 6 registered teams we can get it started.

Come on. Nice one Don.

[Interthenet Jnr]

Can you keep one place for me. I've registered and that but i don't have time to make my team, got to get off to school. So can you keep one pleace and i'll sort my team tonight, cheers.

[CaleyD]

No limit to the max number of teams we can have, if we get too many for a single league we just add additional levels - like Div 1/2/3 etc.

[Guest hm_murdock]

Cheers for setting this up. Hopefully I will be better at this than I am at fantasy league

[Interthenet Jnr]

The sportsnetwork league is going off the rails a bit. All this degrading all the players just fecks up the team i've been trying to build, so i'm well up for this.

[CaleyD]

Need at least 1 more team so we can get started - once the new league starts no more teams can join until 2 weeks before the end of the season.

As I will be away next week I'll leave it open until I get back and start the season then, that should give people plenty time to get signed up if they wish.

Ok - the Toronto Tornadoes have applied 8)

[CaleyD]

Do we want to go with the teams we have now and play a season to check it out? Then if it is any good we can get a forum set up for it and get more people involved???

[Guest ictdave]

it said before you joined that games were on friday at 1 or something like that. all i remember is i wont be there because of school does that really matter.

[CaleyD]

If I am totally honest - no idea

I will check what it entails, but am pretty sure you can set your team up in advance etc. I think I'll set it running with what we have now as a trial run and 2 games a week.

In effect, those who are in now are the testers, and depending on feedback we decide to continue with it or look for something better.

[CaleyD]

From what I can see their is no need for you to be in attendance on the day of the match - just set up your squad and tic-tacs etc beforehand.

I have started the league with the 6 teams we have at present and we have 2 games a week - Tuesday and Friday. This gives us an end date of the end of May.

I am as new to this as everyone else but it looks like fun and you can even watch recordings of your matches it seems :!:

I like the "Dirty Tricks" section and I have left it active for a bit of a laugh - anyone spreading soap on my shower floor gets a kicking

[Interthenet Jnr]

Right well that's the first fixtures out of the way. Looks like it could be an intresting season

Beat oats 3-0

[CaleyD]

Need to start winding Scotty in before he gets too far ahead.

[Interthenet Jnr]

he beat me in the last minute :019:

[CaleyD]

What do those playing the game think so far?

I noticed someone has been making use of the "Dirty Trix"....lol

[Scotty]

Yes 'someone' painted my pitch before todays game and it cost me 250k to repair it .... but I still won ... my new striker scoring two goals on his debut

Good game, but could we get the games closer together like every day perhaps ? and do we have any control over kick-off time as the game is over before i can check my PC at work ?

It is certainly better than the current state of the SN Footie manager game which is dying a slow and agonising death because of the constant friendlies and lack of info about how the new ratings, transfers and coaching will work ... not to mention the constantly changing dates for the start of the new season ......

[Interthenet Jnr]

Quite a lead you have already scotty :007: :020:

[CaleyD]

2 a week is the max number of games at the moment.

I have been playing around with all the various things like the training etc. Even had a Youth just step up to the full squad. The cash flow seems a lot more organised and controlled compared to what I have seen on other games and the training section looks good.

[+Gringo]

Only just seen this....I'd have played... :019: :019:

[CaleyD]

Will be open to everyone to join again at the end of the month when the current season finishes.

I rushed the start this time round as I was keen to get a few people to assist with checking the game out to make sure it wasn't a total dud.

[+Gringo]

:021: Nice one.

[CaleyD]

Applications are now being accepted for next season which will start in about 3 weeks - get in early so as to give me an idea of what kind of league setup I need to sort out.

If we have more than 12 then we will split the league into 2 (or more) divisions, with those getting in soonest being given priority for the Premiere League.

Any feedback from those who have been playing the game would be appreciated, and if anyone has any questions, please ask, and we will do our best to answer them.

[Scotty]

good game - would be nice if we could play more than 2 games per week but thats not possible -

for those playing it - make note - you might want to give a game to some of your reserves for the last couple of games .... any player who has played less than 3 matches will have a lower skill rating next season ....
