Hi yall.. I created a new league on www.xperteleven.com and need some teams - the more the better so don't be shy.. Xperteleven is a light version of Football Manager but best of all -- IT'S FREE!!! You create a team name, stadium name, colors- sign players, schedule training.. The game requires very little attention- you can login twice a week after the matches for 10 mins or login every day for an hour to scout the opposing team.. You keep your team from season to season- so when we get enough teams (16 or so) we can setup two divisions for promotion and relegation.. But we'll get to all that later.. Just go here to join: http://www.xperteleven.com/?lid=164818 Read some of the instructions and I'll post more when we get more teams.. League ID: 164818 League Name: BigSoccer YA League
Re: Xperteleven Manager Game (new players welcome) Just as an FYI, Dynamo Kev did come to the mods and get prior approval for this. Hope the league goes well folks. I won't sticky the thread but you can feel free to bump it as needed.
Re: Xperteleven Manager Game (new players welcome) And I thought I would have to wait for the release of Football Manager Live for an online manager game. Joining now.
Re: Xperteleven Manager Game (new players welcome) Great response- 6 teams (which is the league minimum)-- so far we have.. Camden Townies SC Appoo Hudson River FC Worthington FC United Greats Las Vegas FC You should have your players now- so setup some friendlies and start training.. We'll start the season when we get 10 teams.. unless you want to wait for 20 (two divisions)..
Re: Xperteleven Manager Game (new players welcome) Is it based on real players or is it all fake names?
Re: Xperteleven Manager Game (new players welcome) Fake names and players.. My one tip is to buy young players, blood them early, train them often to increase their skill for future seasons.. We now have 11 teams- I'd like to get 16-20 by Sunday then start the season mid-week.. If we have 8 teams per division we'll go with 3 relegation/promotion spots if we have 9 or 10 it will be 4. Once the season starts - no more teams can be added.. People can apply for the league- for the next season or take over a current team that becomes inactive (teams become inactive by not participating/setting lineups for 2 consecutive matches).. 2 matches per week so the season will last 8-10 weeks.. So far: Camden Townies Hudson River FC Wolverines FC New York United FC Columbia SC Appoo Worthington FC FC Roblar Fighting Tigers FC United Greats Miami FC One more thing.. If you want (and you should) to schedule a friendly with another team- click on that team and select "Challenge Team"..
Re: Xperteleven Manager Game (new players welcome) only 3 spots left for the first season... So join now or you'll have to wait 8 weeks until season 2.. Welcome new clubs: AFC Takoma Surf FC
Re: Xperteleven Manager Game (new players welcome) Buy new players (you can have a total of 20- you start with 18). Sell or Sack players you don't want.. Do Sponsor Events- gives you cash.. Write Press Releases (your sponsor will like the press and give you cash).. Setup a Friendly.. Setup training to improve the "form" of certain players (training cost $ so be careful).. Players 'form' changes throughout the season- their 'skill' level only changes at the end of each season.. Check your mailbox.. When the matches start (hopefully mid-week) you can buy match reports from other games to scout the formation and players used for upcoming opponents..
Re: Xperteleven Manager Game (new players welcome) It seems like its going to take a while to build up $. Does the money come in faster when the games start or are you limited to the one sponsor activity a week and selling players to raise cash?
Re: Xperteleven Manager Game (new players welcome) It does take awhile.. rather than giving you a lump sum at the start of the season you get it spread out via Sponsor Events.. Press Releases of 250+ will also get you money- and selling players.. The transfer market is shared with other leagues so you won't necessarily be selling/buying from a team in our league..
Re: Xperteleven Manager Game (new players welcome) Thanks very much to the mods for allowing this thread.. The season is set- there was a lottery to see who went in which division (BigSoccer Premier and Divsion 1).. I'm stuck in Division 1 so I don't want to hear any bitching.. 3 promotion/relegation spots - match days are Sat and Wed at 3:30pm EST(starting 7/12/08) If anyone else wants to join the league, sign-up at www.xperteleven.com with the info in the first post on this thread and put in an application.. If someone quits the league during the season I'll turn the team over to you.. Otherwise we'll have more teams join in the next season which will start at the end of August.. (mods- please don't close this thread so i can bump it in August).. Managers please use the xperteleven (mailbox, forum, press releases) to discuss and not this thread.. thanks
Re: Xperteleven Manager Game (new players welcome) We have an opening if anyone is interested in joining up.. Please see the first post for sign-up instructions.
Re: Xperteleven Manager Game (new players welcome) Wow! Just saw this and applied. I'm in the SNIFL league - I guess its similar. www.snifl.com, but not as fancy.
Re: Xperteleven Manager Game (new players welcome) Season One of the Big Soccer Yanks Abroad Xperteleven League is wrapping up in a few days. We are actively looking for some new expansion teams- so please sign-up with the info below.. Season Two will (hopefully) kick-off the first week of September.. Just go here to join: http://www.xperteleven.com/?lid=164818 League ID: 164818 League Name: BigSoccer YA League Read up on the Rules and get tips in the Forums.

Re: Xperteleven Manager Game (new players welcome) I'd just like to give this game my humble endorsement. It takes very little time to play and is really ery enjoyable. Two thumbs up!
Re: Xperteleven Manager Game (new players welcome) I'm having a good time as well, need to get in the forums more, but so far so good.
Re: Xperteleven Manager Game (new players welcome) I suck. I got blown out in all of my first four games to bounce back and get to .500 by winning the following four. After that, in my last four matches, I've lost three and tied one. I'm in relegation zone with two games to go. I need to pull a Fulham and win these last two.
Re: Xperteleven Manager Game (new players welcome) I'll be sitting in the 2nd division for another season.
Re: Xperteleven Manager Game (new players welcome) Thanks for setting it up Dynamo Kev! (And if you're a poster who hasn't joined, you should really think about it --- I have one of the weaker teams in the league, and I'm still having a blast. ...and it doesn't take up too much time either!)
Re: Xperteleven Manager Game (new players welcome) Is the game similar to Hattrick? If anyone plays both, it is better/worse?
Re: Xperteleven Manager Game (new players welcome) This is a fun game. I have a team in a league set up on one of my English message boards and it can get quite competitive. It only takes a few minutes out of your week for all those worried about upsetting your busy schedules.
