Xpert Eleven - Online Football Management Game

And the holders are out of the competition at the first hurdle

Being 3 nil down after 24 mins didn't help much, going on to lose 4:3 on agg.

Full steam ahead for a promotion push it'll have to be for this season.

Does 3 yellow cards equate to a suspension? I thought it was 5

[edit]Yeah its three. Blummin ummer!

Unlucky for you that you are playing me next then really!

5-0 win for me at home after a 2-2 draw away in the first leg, quite surprised actually didnt expect a complete rinsing as my team is massively out of form atm.

Oh well im not complaining

No I set my team up, just left my tactics til today

Forgot to do either my team or my tactics and still have no idea how I got on as can't access it here at work

Not expecting much though as was visiting a league 1 side following a 2-2 home draw.

edit: Actually, think I was playing the team of the guy above ^^ - guess we lost 5-0 then

Bah, so much for trying to use tactics in this game.

Was 3-1 up from the home leg against stronger opposition so decided to try and play a tight game in the second leg and managed to lose 3-0.

Oh and my best defender managed to get himself suspended with a couple of crucial league games coming up.

I pretty much set my team on all out attack, so i'm quite chuffed to have won 3-0.

Gah, got another tough cup draw. Looking at the rest of the teams still in the competition there are heaps I would fancy my chances against but noooooooo I get stuck with the toughies. Beat Gilly though muwahahahahaha

FFS completely forgot about the 2nd leg

Why have Devils Red sold 2 decent players to Kilbirnie Ladeside for next to nothing?

I noticed that this morning, he's paid nowhere near the amount they are worth for them. I had a look at the VIP direct transfers and tried to get a cheap deal from him myself. I don't think direct transfers should be allowed really though as it's unfair for those without a vip membership and it could be exploited if one manager sells all his good players to another team at a low price.

Silent-Lucidity · 1 Mar 2008 at 16:58

Thats ridiculous, that 20 year old defender is worth at least 8 mil if not more. Dodgy dealing going on. The league manager has to accept the transfers so why has he with these? It's obviously a scam. They need to go back and the offending managers talked to, to find out what went on. Not gonna play in a league where cheating is going on. :mad:

Gilly · 1 Mar 2008 at 19:16

That's pretty shocking.

Lord-Jaffa · 1 Mar 2008 at 21:50

The press release makes it even funnier considering the age of the players.

Clipsey · 2 Mar 2008 at 19:52

4-0 win today and made some money on the pools + manager of the week

Cob · 2 Mar 2008 at 20:35

2-2 draw with the team top of Div 2, so not too bad for me this week.

Chopper · 2 Mar 2008 at 22:29

watch the accusations of cheating i got those two players fair and square no cheating involved. the guy who took over that team got an utter pants team and sent a press release encouraging people to make some bids. and i offered the same for the other two players he sold as well, but he got offered 1.5m and 2m by someone else so i got outbid. i did get an email from him afterwards a bit annoyed because he never received any of the money that i paid, apparently if you do direct transfers you don't receive all the money. and for your interest ive been trying to buy players from other managers via direct transfer as well such as phil turley, but wormwood wasnt having it. the players are just on loan until the end of the season and then i have to send them back or agree a price to keep them. so pick your toys up and stick them back in the pram.

nikebee · 2 Mar 2008 at 22:51

Business as usual this weekend, another good win.

3rd Place now in Division 2.

4 points separate the top 4 teams.

I had no idea loan deals could be made in xpert11. Is it a part of the game or have you come to an agreement to let the other manager buy him back? Regardless I don't agree with direct transfers when most the league members don't have a VIP membership.

Yeah its an arrangement by the looks of it, and it isnt part of the game hence its cheating, guy has taken two of the other teams best players in exchange for nothing basically.

That's what it sounds like to me too.

Silent-Lucidity · 3 Mar 2008 at 12:23

The agents fee would have been 250k, so whats the selling manager letting them go for that amount for when he would receive nothing? I'm not going to accuse anyone of blatant cheating till there's proof, but it looks very suspicious. Direct deals should be approved by the league admin, and suspect deals like these need to be questioned before they are approved.

Chopper · 3 Mar 2008 at 17:48

i don't see what's suspect about it, if Man Utd loan someone to Sunderland is that cheating? i think not, i have done this loads in other leagues i play in and its a widely adopted strategy by other managers, it allows the big teams to get their players stats increased quicker and allows the weaker teams to bolster their squads, looks like you lot are just annoyed cos i showed a little initiative to boost my squad until the end of the season, then i have the choice to agree a price to buy the two players or i have to give them back. think some of you should chill out and concentrate on your own team, and fyi the transfer was approved by the league admin there is no way to do it otherwise.
