Think someone with a Mourinho complex who has nevertheless failed to win anything despite being one of the game's longest serving managers....

It honestly needn't be. It does become addictive and you end up devoting a bit more time to it, but it really isn't that time consuming at all.
Have you been validated using the link above? http://www.xperteleven.com/?lid=274798 I can't see you in the list of league managers.
Is he in @A_K_Q_J_10 ?
This. The Doc speaketh true.
Again, fully agreed. And Mike, if you sign up for the Prem league you may eventually get the pleasure of playing against my side, whose skipper is Chinese!
Well, we've accepted Modo so I suppose we can't really move the goalposts. You can still join.
Are you trying to join the Premier league or the Champions league?
You'll only be allowed to join one league at the moment (plus the official league). Once you play a bit it will let you join 2 private leagues.
I think you've already joined the Champions league, so that's why your private league quota is full.
Join an official team, it will help you learn how to play quicker
Still some places to fill! Join us.....
Ahh but it doesn't mean double the load. You're in there anyway. have a wee dabble with your CL team. Easy.
All the new teams have been boosted. The X11 computer is firing out some pretty decent new teams. It's shitting 8 skill teams at the minute.
And have a look at the player WhyeOne got - a 21 year old 10 skill midfielder with cool and all rounder.

Ok. Cheers. So it IS extra work?
What I'm saying is, is that it isn't as much extra as if you didn't play it anyway. You're logged on, you know what you're doing, bada bing. Just sign up already ya big tart.
For a seasoned pro like you it will be a piece of cake. I use it to experiment with a few things and it has helped a lot.
Signed up, though haven't the foggiest what I am doing
Welcome to the club then, mate. You'll be fine. 😉
That's you accepted. Welcome aboard. The key to the game is training and development. Basically you want to train players to keep them in good form (I try to keep players I care about at at least 15 form). When you play players who are in good form, they will get what is known as a development value (referred to as DV). At the end of the season, you get what is known as a change report and the higher the DV (up to a max of 20) then the better the player develops as a result.
When thinking about training you will be thinking is it worth spending money on training. There is no point wasting money on a player who is shit or old. You don't want to bother training any player on 6 or less skill unless they are young. Usually the benchmark is along the lines of a 20 year old 6 skill player, if you have a player with 6 skill and is 20 or younger then he can develop and is worth training. If there is a player older than 20 at 6 skill or less then hes not worth training at all. That should hopefully let you see who is worth looking after in your team and who is deadwood.
I had a look at your team and your keeper is decent. You have 1 defender who is worth training, the rest are pants. You have 4 decent midfielders and 1 good striker. I wouldn't put any money into training anyone other than those 7 players. You need to buy a couple of good defenders. When I started off I pretty much stripped the club and had a bunch of very young players (16/3, 17/4, 18/5). BTW if you see us on here using that fraction thing it means age/skill - 18/5 is 18 yr old 5 skill.
I'm sure the other lads on here will give you all some advice. Doc and Refugee are particularly good and have built multiple title winning sides.
I suggest the new teams play each other in a friendly to help get to grips with things. Lads, there should be a list of teams to challenge down the right hand side when you go to the start page.
