http://www.xperteleven.com/?lid=461360 Trying to get this going again after a big nostalgia hit for this game. Feel free to apply for a new team. The Goon Guide to X11 - Read this new people for some great advice https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ssuLN54-EBrVfFAutsiGZTKuYGWjQSHeHp_iUWHayPA/edit Basic Information Xpert Eleven is a football manager game where you manage a fictitious football team. The thought behind the game is that you compete with your friends in a league that you create yourselves. You manage your team/teams in good times as well as bad. Your tasks consist of selecting your team and working out some cunning tactical moves. You don't need to know anything about soccer at all and the game is designed to only take up about 15 minutes of your time twice a week at a minimum. You may find yourself enjoying it so much that you spend a few hours trying to find that perfect transfer, though... Example Squad:  Example Player:  Example Match:  One fun part of the league is press releases- it gives you a chance to smack talk your opponents and write how your team is full of winners who just constantly get screwed by RNG poor circumstances. Also you get money every week you write a press release so just do it!  Xpert Eleven also has VIP, which thankfully gives you absolutely no advantage over regular players. However, it does give you access to neat stats and charts where you can truly understand how hard your team chokes under pressure. Also, you can rename your players to whatever idiot gimmick you want. I do get final say on names so no, you can't name your entire team "Weedlord Bonerhitler". Goon League Information We're in the thirditeration of the Goonship League: http://www.xperteleven.com/?lid=461360. The previous league went for 20 seasons before fizzing out. Seasons last about 8-10 weeks and there is plenty of time for a new team to get their youth going and turn into a bunch of superstars. Right now we are starting from scratch again and will see if there are enough players to set up multiple leagues to promote and relegate into. The first and second league played for 20 strong seasons and we had a blast. Rivalries were formed, broken, and soap was had for all. Feel free to invite non-goons but be sure they're a good fit. Most of the poo poo talking happens on the forum too, but that's their loss. I check the game daily so team approvals shouldn’t take too long. If for some reason I’m slacking post in this thread! Need more information? I've set up a discord for the league here. There is an FAQ here: http://www.xperteleven.com/faq.aspx The rules of the game: http://www.xperteleven.com/ruler.aspx?RuleID=34 The Goon Guide to X11 - Read this new people for some great advice https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ssuLN54-EBrVfFAutsiGZTKuYGWjQSHeHp_iUWHayPA/edit Housekeeping Long term inactives (3 weeks + of no activity) will be cleaned between seasons.

This seems pretty interesting, and something I'll join up for. Is the google docs updated to the game currently? I see comments in it from 2015, and I don't know if the game has been updated since then, never played it.

We're at 3/5 now! The league should start when we have at least 5 players. I believe we can add more mid-season, but 5 is the minimum to kick it off. I figure it's time to look at my team and see what work I have ahead of me.  Oh. Oh dear.  A whooole lot of crap in this squad. At least there is an 18/4 but that's about all I can say for this pack of tubby sunday leaguers. My high level plan right now is to buy some 'ciggie butt' players, very cheap older players and a bunch of young potential strong players. They should balance out in age... Then play a few seasons and hope I can build a competitive team cheaply.

I trawled through the change notes since approximately 2012 to note down everything that has changed since that guide was last edited: 2021-01-28 Changing DV from 20 to -10 +10 Lowering injury frequency some, length and severity is scaled to season length Lower ability to create chances for defensive and very defensive playing styles 2015-06-17 New special quality, long passer. 2014-03-19 Gold heart addition - Player with gold heart will perform an extra 3% better than players with heart if your team is losing 2014-01-29 Lowered the minimum evaluation cost from 35000 to 5000. Edit: There are LOTS of bugfixes and cosmetic changes. Edit2:  I snooped on Bucketybuck's team to see why it was worth a fair bit more than mine. I guess I know who my soaping target is for season 1.  (for the newbies 17/5 is really nice for a young player)

We just need two more players to start the league now. I think I've roped in one more - if anyone can reach out to any of the players of the last league that would be awesome

I'm in as soon as I can remember my password and come up with a team name gimmick. I demand a 17/4 midfielder and an over-acted bitter rivalry with someone in return.

I've yet to see how much of a difference it makes put the Long Passer SQ + Long Passes might stop the dominance of midfields. Edit: We have enough players to start the league now! I think in the interest of letting everyone in that I PMed before I  we should wait a day or two first?

Here is the old goonguide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ssuLN54-EBrVfFAutsiGZTKuYGWjQSHeHp_iUWHayPA/edit Not much has changed, see my above post about changes in the past 8-9 years that matter. I need to name the league. I've just gone with Serie Goon for now, but should we memorialise old great players to name each league? Retu Nagele? Uwe Mehle?! Give me your ideas. Edit: This guy also has some good posts on building a squad: http://xperteleventips.blogspot.com/2009/01/meeting-your-squad.html And this blog has some detailed posts if you're willing to dig for them: http://xperteleven-guide.blogspot.com/ Edit 2: Looks like we can do sponsor activities and sack players so starting sooner rather than later is a good idea Rapner fucked around with this message at 05:43 on Feb 9, 2021 |

Destrado posted:You say this like the answer isn't heavy investment in Hugh Kerry soap futures. This is the way. I've run out of people to PM on old threads so I guess we give it 24-48 hours for people to notice and kick off the league? With luck we might end up with 15-20 players.

If I had the time I would re-up, I had a lot of fun with the old league. But I super do not have free time these days, plus I never won a single loving THING last time around and refuse to get that mad at my useless loving players again.

Flayer posted:Ahhh, I vaguely remember this from a very long ago. More than a decade for sure... How lucky do you feel? I always invested the max because it really only takes one good youth to pay for the entire investment, multiples just mean you have money to give form training to the entire team every week for a season. Starting a new team, though, can take some time to ramp itup while your money is better spent on form training and making a team that functions. e;  Have to watch the transfer wire but its starting to resemble a team. Almost no one usable from the starting set. Nephzinho fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Feb 9, 2021 |
