Xpert 11 Poker forum league - register interest here

KevIRL

Okay on the back of some interest in the BBV thread I've set up an Xpert 11 league for the poker forum. What is Xpert11? Its a very simplistic football manager sim. Some details below

The website is www.xperteleven.com

I already play in a couple of diff leagues on the site and its very easy. After you register you are given a team automatically. You can then spend as much or as little time as you like with your team.

Typically expect to spend maybe 15 mins at the start becoming familar with the site etc. Once the league starts each team plays 2 games every week, and you need only spend about 5 mins twice a week to pick tactics etc for the next match.

Anyway, I thought I'd see if there was an interest for it. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask on this thread.

I've set up a poker league already, its ID is 203915, or if you want you can post your xpert 11 username on here and I'll add you to the league.

If we get the numbers (6 minimum) i'll start the league in a couple of weeks. There's a good bit of banter judging from the other two I'm in anyway

So a bit of a laugh, and seeing as enough of us degens spending plenty of time online we may as well give it a spin.

I'd like to keep it to poker forum posters, so please post in here with your x11 username so i can accept you into the league.

I'm in for this obviously.

Ah why not. I used to do a play by mail thing years ago before the interweb and it was good craic with a few lads from school in the same league as me.

I play on this site too. Its quite good and passes the time. Have 11 teams and currently leading Barca to the treble hopefully!

No harm in people joining for something to do.

Flushdraw in.

Tony - stop confusing people by posting pics from other sites

everyone else - you do not get real players assigned in this game so no point in going looking for Russel Beardsmore or other such legends.

how do I make my team

Just select different numbers of defenders/midfielders/forwards

There are only certain number of formations allowed, and as part of the games simplicity it doesnt make a difference between left and right sided players etc

Hi Kev,

Have registered and applied.

I'm in. rekopdog

How do you set up friendlies? Anyone up for a match?

KevIRL

I've challenged you to a friendly there. For anyone else that wants a friendly, go to league and then click on a team, there should be a challenge team button.

We have 19 teams so far. I'd like to get 5 more and then start a season with 3 divisions of 8 teams. 3 up, 3 down each season with 2 games every week, the seasons fly by.

Sent out friendly requests to Ste05, 5starpool and HIVEindhoven. I reckon these are the whipping boys so expecting a hatful of goals unless the chickensh1ts decline..

Quick question for anyone thats already in the league or is a VIP

1. Is the VIP worth it? Seeing as its only €8 for 3 months
2. It says i can join an xpert league aswel as a private league. How can i join another league shile staying in the boards poker league?
3. You start with 250 000 cash..To train a player costs 130 000 and to buy any semi decent player costs over a million..How the fk do you earn sponduleks in this game? (did some survey thing and got a few quid but i reckon they're few and far between)
4. 2 leagues of 12 would be far better than 3 leagues of 8 IMO..
5. Can i bid for players on someones team becuase you cant seem to..e.g can i click on Kevs team and bid for the pletera of stars he has?

Cheers

Whyno

Challenges has been issued ladies.Lets go...
I got 1mill for doin some publicity thing. Any other ways ta earn d monies.
Side bets in d matches maybe

Hey Tony

1. VIP is alright, the main benefit is that you can be in a few extra leagues. However, for each league you have a different brand new team, so there is no benefit to your team to being in extra leagues. You also get access to some extra stats, but they don’t have any great impact on how I play the game. Most of them I’ll repost on the thread.
2. As said above you get a different team for each league you are in.
3. Every week you can partake in a sponsor activity and earn a maximum of 1 million bucks. You can click on ‘sponsor activity’ in the main boards league lobby. You can earn an extra 200K each week by keeping the sponsors happy with media activity. A 250 character press release each week will do this. The other way to earn $ is to sell players
4. I’ve played in a few leagues with different structures, and 8 is by far the best. It keeps the season relatively compact, 2 games per week means the season finishes in 7 weeks. Also the 3 up 3 down means that most games matter up till the end. A 12 team league means that going into the last few games of the season a lot of games will be meaningless and people will get bored. Also the league will last longer so people might get too bored and not bother playing anymore, resulting in a lot of one sided results. If we don’t get up to 24 entrants though I’ll just aim for 20 and go with 2 leagues of 10.
5. It is not possible to have intra-team transfers unless both teams are VIP. As only a few teams in our league are VIP, I have switched off the option of VIP teams transferring between themselves as this would be an unfair advantage.

As an aside – my team is rubbish 

Someone eventually will ask about a cup. There is an option to have a cup, but it means only league game is played each week. After a couple of weeks the majority of teams will be out of the cup, and only play one game each week. The season will last a good bit longer and again the risk of people getting bored comes into it.

Finally the game will pick six games each week for a pools competition, I imagine this being quite popular with the degens on here so will activate it, and set the weekly entry at 50,000 initially – until we have all built up some funds at least

You will get youth team players from time to time also and can actually request specific positions in the ‘team settings’ page.

At the end of every season there is a change report, and your players will gain (or lose) skill based on their average form over the season, match experience and age.

I think I’ve boxed off a lot of the stuff here. If anyone has any other questions let me know, alternatively the forum on the main page is handy

Meh doesnt seem worth it tbh. There's not enough depth in the game and even though its only a few quid, doesnt seem to have any real benifits

2. As said above you get a different team for each league you are in.

I was meaning can i use Flushdraw FC in 2 different leagues or is it only 1 league per team. Guessing you need a different team for every league

3. Every week you can partake in a sponsor activity and earn a maximum of 1 million bucks. You can click on ‘sponsor activity’ in the main boards league lobby.

Cool. Will try this. Could be 6 months down the line before you can start to buy any real players! Was looking at some of the big boys teams at the top of the best leagues. Wow what a team some of them have..jaw dropping compared to our accrington stanleys!

Yeah that sounds cool. You've more experience so know best and that all makes sense. Go for what you think.

Good thinking Batman. I like to see fair play. Maybe i'll play you in a friendly and use cheat/dirty tactics to take advantage!

Good work and cheers for that. I pressume the pools is 50k a man and if we have 20 players, the biggest luckbox gets 1 mirrion?

KevIRL

Das is correct about the pools FD.

22 teams regged now. 2 more and I'll schedule the start of a season
