Online Soccer Management Game

To tide over the long summer, I'm starting up a Gamers League at Xperteleven.com, and you're all invited to come along and play. I've also recently discovered that both Rob Heinsoo and John Kovalic are soccer fans, and Rob has said he's interested in playing. No word from Mr Kovalic yet, but I'm hoping he's tempted.

To sign up, go to Xpert Eleven - The Best Online Football Management Game With Focus On Coaching, register yourself, and then go to the Search function and look for League ID 208045 - it's named the Gamers League. Click to apply for a new team! You'll note that the Nentir Vale FC are already there...

If there is anyone else that you know that wants to play then invite them in using the same information.

The way the game works is that you manage a fictional team in a fictional league - the players are generated for you randomly but all the teams should be roughly equal. You then pick a team and tactics and play against other people in the same league. You buy and sell players, train them and (for me the best part) you can write press releases about the team.

There is a private forum attached to the league - I'll start a thread so that if you have any questions I can answer them. We need a minimum of six people to start playing.

OK, well, no-one bit the last time so I'll make this the one-time only bump to this thread.

The link to sign up for the league is here. I currently have four players, with two more promising to sign up, so c'mon and join us.

I thought I'd give this a go, but after signing up and searching the league ID given in your first post I was told it didn't exist, and when I clicked the link in your second post, it took me to the Welcome League, not the Gamers League. I'd like to join in, am I doing something wrong?

My username there is the same as my username here, by the way...

Whoops, I'm sorry.

Yup, it's the Welcome League, not the Gamers League, but if you click the link in the second post you'll be at the right place. My username there is redmoleghost, just to confirm, and if you sign up you'll be the sixth person in the league and we can start playing friendlies and things!

I'll keep an eye out looking for you.

You joined!

Hope you enjoyed the friendly game. Make sure you write a press release of at least 250 characters so that you can earn the money for it - money that will be needed for training, buying players, and so on!
