Xpert Eleven-Foot.ie league [NEW TEAMS WELCOME]

Right serious question here. How in the name of fcuk does the manager ratings work?

I'm not the best manager obviously but I've now dropped to a 5 rating despite finishing 3rd last year (with a 7 rating) and being in 2nd place this season winning 3 out of 4 matches. Really confused

Manager skill
If you have a team in an Xpert league your skills as a manager will be graded every competitive game your team are playing. The manager skill is based on your performance as a manager in competitive matches 6 months back. If you coach your team well you will get a higher manager skill. The manager skill value is based on the same values that the coach of the round in the Xpert eleven is based on.

I think that it's mainly based on the tactics report (you tightning centre vs your opponent playing down the wings in your last game probably had an impact), with actual results and team performance also having some factor in it.

Also to do with press releases too I think.

From my TCAA side and star player Faelan Ballylee:

During a 'West End' production of a seasonal pantomime, F�el�n Ballylee was guesting as Humpty Dumpty! Unfortunately, during the performance, F�el�n Ballylee really did take a big fall. Thankfully all the kings horses and all the kings men did put him back together again without any adverse reaction!

We've had a very inconsistent start..perhaps need to stop tinkering with the side and get back to the settled one and get them going again.

No, just from 10am to 2pm our time today. Anyone with friendlies tonight is playing as normal.

Cup games went ahead and Wexford Boys, with a reserve side, beat Landestown Forest form the premier division. a massive giant killing. It was 1-1 after normal time and the Boys toughed it out for a 6-5 shootout victory.

**steno** · 06/10/2007, 6:53 PM

fair play made some changes and paid for it

**DmanDmythDledge** · 06/10/2007, 8:14 PM

Didn't know that was the cup!

Got through just about anyway. Some interesting results too. The Fags have been destroyed recently, although not really surprising. Twoud be a shame to see them getting trounced like that every week.

Sligs up next and I've never lost to them...

**biscuit** · 06/10/2007, 9:50 PM

beat workington 2-1 tonight. 2 second half goals, another giant killing!! (weel done you too PS!). cobh next in the league, that will be though, they tore the fags apart tonight!

**dfx-** · 06/10/2007, 10:43 PM

Nice to get a win again..and seemingly comfortable enough looking at some of the other results

Or stop playing Liffey?

**DmanDmythDledge** · 07/10/2007, 6:01 PM

Provos in the cup...

1.2m profit on Hickey and form of 17? No thanks

Damn, UCD in the cup

**DmanDmythDledge** · 07/10/2007, 7:56 PM

Lost the money on training a worse player.

Hehe, Shams clear favourites and I'm the one happy with the draw.

**dfx-** · 07/10/2007, 9:37 PM

Only trained him once so far

If you lose 4-1 to someone like the Sligs, you'll understand why we don't feel very confident right now

**dancinpants** · 07/10/2007, 10:38 PM

Don't think the shocks are over lads. Can see a couple happening in the next round too. Really need to strengthen my midfield and frontline, dunno who to ditch though. Plenty of room for friendlies now mind you.

**biscuit** · 08/10/2007, 3:45 PM

loftys in the cup

**Cici900** · 08/10/2007, 4:05 PM

Sligoman in cup. I could go far here

Very confident after fags win

**dancinpants** · 08/10/2007, 8:51 PM

Got one of my other teams promoted, and in the change report an 18 year old striker got two bars, making him an 8, and worth - get this, 17 MILLION
