Xpert 11 league started. Anyone interested?

[Kurt]

Aaah.. a good day at the office. First the Babyeaters notched up another win against Minge. Sadly my best midfielder picked up an injury and will miss next match against Madstocks Rabied Dogs. Yet another away match, meaning I will have played 6 away games in the first 9 rounds.

Moving on, the FC Mucho Cojones ripped Dynamo Plop apart with a 4-1 win. El-Madstocko Bumbandido, the 17 year old wonderkid, scored again and has scored in every ( 2 ) games he has played so far.

And tomorrow is my last day at work before going on holiday.

Life is sweet!

I'm sick of the transfer system. I've got bags of cash to spend and I'm getting frustrated at every turn.

It's really annoying, I'm struggling to buy and sell players. Youth is the future.

I see the new 'defence against' thing has come in. I long for simpler times. Pick team, play pools, do press release.

I can't even shift the deadwood. It's a bit unrealistic with youth players because the season is so short and nearly every game counts. Plus aren't they introducing a rule where they have to play a certain amount of games to have a skill update?

As a Div3 div, what problems do you have RK? Ive bought and sold recently and not had a problem.

You have always had to play 3 games to get the full skill update - briefly it was going to be changed to 5 games, which would quite frankly be shite for leagues such as TLWCL where some teams will only play 8 games.

It is now (apparently) changing to an "appropriate" numer of games, based on the number of teams in the league.

The other thing that is coming in (now that I have shifted most of my old bastards), is the "skill update based on experience", whereby each player will get a better update if he has played with more experienced players, or some such twaddle. Each player will allegedly show what level of update you can expect on his individual page, starting some time soon.

The transfer market is massively inflated at the mo - there is no way that it can sustain current prices, particularly with more and more better youths coming through, so I believe the children are our future, form train them well, and hope like fuck they don't get injured, the bastards. Or something like that.

It's going to be done on a number of different things and each player will have an 'update percentage' or something.

Individual match experience needed for development The number of matches a player needs to have played to get 100% of his potential development at the season update has earlier been a fixed number of matches for all players in all leagues. As this has been quite blunt and not always fair we have decided to make it more sophisticated. Instead of having a fixed number of matches, the number of matches required for a player to get 100% out of his potential development will depend on various factors like the number of rounds in the league and the surrounding team-mates. If the player plays with older and more skillful players that act as mentors, the player will need fewer matches than if the player plays with younger and less skillful players. This will be calculated in two parts where one part calculates the “mentor value” of the team part the player belongs to (defence or offence) and the other part calculates the “mentor value” for the whole team. There will be minimums and maximums for how much “experience” the player can get on one match. As earlier the goalkeepers won't need as much match experience as the other players. Another thing is that the players that is a leader will give more match experience to his team-mates than a similar player without the special quality of being a leader. On the player’s page you will be able to check how much “match experience” the player has gained during the current season. This will be shown as a percentage. This percentage also shows how much your player will get out of the skill update at the season update. The maximum of the match experience is 100%. This means that if the player only has gained 15% match experience then the player will only develop 15% at the skill update. The number of matches required to get 100% match experience during the season will be hard to say. But in leagues playing 14 rounds (like in our official league systems), the minimum number of matches required will be about 3 matches. In leagues playing fewer rounds the minimum required will be less than 3 matches and in leagues playing more rounds during the season the minimum required will be more than 3 matches. One thing that also is new is that if a player is substitued and only plays 5 minutes it will not count as a whole match but instead be counted as if the player played 30 minutes. In other words the matches will be divided into half hours.

I preffered the times when an agent practically gave you a player and you just had to make room. None of this players to the highest bidder as thats not reflective of normal footie.

None in the Ultra League. My problems are in the other three leagues I'm in especially the CL. My Ultra League team are in rude health and it's not often I get to use that phrase.

Given the nature of Mrs RiS's's's's' work, when the phrase "RiS is in rude health" is used, is this a euphemism?

Yep. Undoubtedly. Regarding Mrs RiS, she got lost in the forest on our island with her brother. they were gone for five hours. I thought they must have fallen asleep somewhere so i had a beer and a barbecue.
