    Cheers dfk-. This is going to be quite the baptism of fire. My squad's full, so it seems I have to sell before I can buy. My team's average age is 33 - because it's been dormant for a couple of years, I assume, so no new players. And I didn't have time to check my line-up before the first match, so I lost 6-1.

    Things can only get better, I suppose. Or stay the same. Or get worse...?

    You can always sack a few of the hoors if you cannot sell them. Things should better simply because there is a manager now.

    You had a manky fixture on the first day, it'll get easier.

    Is "sack" just the same as "release on a free"?

    Or is it like the Bohs version - forged signatures, pointless, expensive legal cases and other such fun?

    New League

    Hi guys,

    About 2 years ago we set a league up on Xperteleven and we got a good few teams joining up. Mainly posters from boards.ie soccer forum. We had a lot of people drop off for different reasons and so have a few uneven teams as some were not looked after.

    So, we're setting up a new league for anyone who fancies it.

    http://www.xperteleven.com/?lid=253499

    All teams will be created with an equal level of skill to start off with, so a level playing field for all.

    We started with 50 teams and had about 20 left when the season finished last week. Hopefully we should have 4-6 divisions.

    Anyway league starts next week if anyone is interested...

    Cheers,

    Rory

    Tactics and red arrows could see our first ever season outside the top flight..

    Tell all the Bohs you know
    that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
    and it's not gonna be three
    and it's not gonna be four
    it's more likely to be 5-1.

    3 up, 3 down certainly means that most teams have something to play for anyway!

    Just got made a VIP as a prize in another league. Is there anything much to be said for it beyond the next opponent overview, which is pretty handy?

    The "club stats" and "compare team" features of an opponent can be useful as well I find.

    It's so long since I didn't have VIP that I can't fully remember what it provides and what it doesn't..

    The stats are the big thing I guess and seeing the opponent's last line up I think. Comparison of team stats in a division can help find out where your team lies in comparison to the others on strength, age etc etc.

    conceding a 95th minute winner is just not right, 4 game losing run has to stop or we will be gone

    It's tight at the top. I managed to finish with a 100% record at home and my last 2 games are away to 2 of the bottom 3. It should mean I have a decent chance of winning the league but my away form has been awful.

    Think we cancelled each other out, played not to lose.

    Certainly we both picked out the others play-maker, but given that you went offensive and I played normal I think we both went for the win. And you got a lot closer than I did, but my keeper had a great game.

    It's that stage of the season though where some of the guys have to have their game time topped up so it's hard to go for absolute full strength.

    That balancing act is what makes this game interesting in my opinion.
