CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Does anyone have any idea how to change the "my page" at xpert eleven? New to this, and it shows my location etc incorrectly. Not sure you can even change the location. Mine insists on saying I'm from Romania! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Are we having a cup this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Are we having a cup this season?Since more people have voted against it, no. Unless you'd like to vote for it then it'd be tied.So guys, 3 leagues with 8 teams each or 2 with 12 teams? I'm leaning towards the second because we just had a very short season and a season with 12 teams would be somewhat of a compromise between having and not having a cup.Anyone object to this?

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Changing the system to two leagues would screw the format up in terms of promotion and relegation - but it would make the season a lot more interesting. I would prefer to go for two divisions of 12. A 22-game season would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I've updated the poll. Click "delete my vote" and then resubmit the vote for both forms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Don't think the 22 game season plus the cup will work, that would be like my time in Costa rica X 2, and admit it time dragged without me around But yeah seriously imo it will have to be one of the other.With my experience from my last time, hopefully i can build my team up quicker this time.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 A 22-game-season without a cup would be the best, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 A 22-game-season without a cup would be the best, IMO. Agree on that. I'll give people a couple of days to express their views about that and if no one objects I'll start the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Cup + 2 leagues is not really an option. The season would last 22 weeks! That's five and a half months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I quite like the idea of a bigger league, it's something different and it makes the title race and relegation races a lot more interesting. The only downside is that less teams get to actually 'win' something, 3 leagues means more teams can battle for the top spot instead of mid-table.

The only downside is that less teams get to actually 'win' something, 3 leagues means more teams can battle for the top spot instead of mid-table.A very fair point. But, realistically:The first division would consist of the Premier League teams (including those relegated last year), plus the top Championship sides from last season. Whilst it would mean there are still only two/three teams challenging for the title, it realistically means that EVERY other team is fighting not to get relegated. The second division would consist of the remainder of teams, and the new teams also. There are some experienced players who will be taking up the reigns at new clubs, like Tomo, and yet even so there are so many evenly-matched teams that in that division there are possibly six-eight teams that will challenge to win the title. So whilst there is a lesser chance of winning a title, there will actually be more teams actually competing, rather than having three leagues where in each division two/three teams battle it out for the title and everyone else settles for scraps. This will go a long way to determining who is the best at this game; not just in winning titles for the strong sides, but for teams like mine that has an average age of 22. It's a very fine balance and it would be a real challenge for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll give more teams something to play for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I'm all for it.Yeah we can while creating the new season.Since most people seem to agree, I'm gonna go and start the season on Sunday.
