    Here is your chance to prove it.

    I was wondering if any not606ers fancied being a part of an XpertEleven league. Simpy put it is a very simple football management game based on t'interweb (tagline - easy to play; hard to master).

    We need a minimum of six teams to start a league. Let me know if you are interested and if we get enough I will set it up

    Ok folks I have set the league up and we have three weeks to get a minimum of 6 teams

    The link is below:
    http://www.xperteleven.com/?lid=278492

    Unfortunatley the league only allows single sex leagues, so if you are a lovely lady just pretend to be a man when you log in (not my rules I am afraid, but my apologies to Gillsgrl, Benardette et al)

    So roll up roll up and put your management skills to the test if you dare!! :laugh:

    Don't worry it is not too taxing on time or on the ol' gray matter. Fairly simple, pick team formation, buy/sell players,train the odd player (simply tick a box for this). Played it before on an old message board, good fun for banter!

    Just one more team and the league is fully active, i.e play friendlies, buy/sell players.

    Ok we have our lucky six, but I intend on leaving this open a bit longer to see if we can generate any more interest.

    For those on board already here are a few pointers.
    - You can earn some extra money (econs in the game) by partaking in the sponsers activities. There were a few actual web sponsers in the past who told you a few bits and pieces about their firm but these days it is just Xpert Eleven trying to flog its VIP membership. It is a simple case of clicking on a link and bang an extra 1,000,000 econs in your pocket.

    - Try to arrange a few friendlies to get grips with the game. You can challenge a team by clicking on their name and then clicking "challenge team" (obviously). The game will be played the next availbale fixture (usually tuesday or saturday nights).

    - You can also buy or train players now. Both cost econs so use your cash sparingly.

    Other than that enjoy. I am looking to start the season proper next tuesday unless you lot are keener to get started.

    Up to 11 overnight, better than I expected! If we can get just one more I can set up two division system and probably a cup competition too.

    Easy, easy...

    Boing-boing badgers-badgers...

    Can we play you everyweek?

    Etc

    <somersault>

    Note: I don't think Xpert Eleven allows for BST hence the hour difference...

    Just you wait until the return leg at The Toilet Store. We're gonna s**t all over you.

    The hour's time difference meant my players just weren't ready. Simples.
