Xpert 11 league started. Anyone interested?

[Mr.SB]

This is the first time I'm on Xpert Eleven, Kremlin is the only league I play in and I must say I'm quite enjoying it (possibly because I'm doing well now). Thanks to PB for a well run league. SM I'm not too happy with starting the cup so early as well as I have now a few injured and red carded players but good luck for the 2nd leg.

In the rules it alludes to this being a rarity and by the looks of things it was. I was quite surprised he hadn't gained a skill bar in the last update so he must have been on the cusp.

On another note how far are people off having their players get to the 100 game mark? As I didn't get involved straight away I'd imagine some have already got to this milestone as 2 of my players are 8 games away and someone I bought in my second season is 12 games away.

I have 4 people who have reached the mark. I only play 3 of them. One of them is my best player, a 24 year old midfielder. He has notched up 117 games in total.

Most appearances is a defender on 122.

Yeah, him being bang on the cusp would explain it Remmstein....I did read the rules myself after your press release and it doesn't actually rule out the possibility, like you say, just a real rarity.
None of my players are near gold heart, legendary status, this is only our 3rd season in existence, so the best I can offer is a couple who reached their half century.

A had a few nearing the century but decided to rebuild my team after getting bummed in the top flight and sold anybody around 29.

Best now is a 24-year-old on 99 games.

Silly Kurt.

I'm glad we're playing 'youth today as my main striker has been in a bloody car crash and injured for 16 days. There should be a big gap between the final round and the quarters/semis whatever, eh Karlos? Please. Thants x

Oh and Kurt, let me know how my fledglings do at 11 will you? They're really shit and I want to laugh at them, Thurt.

Only a penalty miss denied you a draw, but it would have been a daylight robbery as I had 12 chances to your 4.

Just proves group C is strong, as Revolut only managed 3rd place... when is the draw? I want to know which team will beat me in the quarters this time?

[Thants]

Oooo so close. I think I was lucky my Valentine was playing or I would have got shafted.
