Wow, one goal decided the championship. Meanwhile I won my last game and I think everyone basically lost DV for it. Nice work!

I've lost interest in this game, so I guess if someone is interested I'd give up FC Jägermeister.

Well, that season was intense. The pools ended in a 3-way tie, but the winners still got a decent payday:

It was a pretty special end to the season. Real Liverpool Arsenal 1989 vibes! Just a shame I didn't get my Micheal Thomas moment.

gently caress sake. Typical that my best form/DV season is followed by my worst. This CR is going to be a disaster.

That was a crazy last day. I spent all season 3 points behind Dadbod in first place with a massively worse goal difference and then those last 2 games happened. Hope I'm ready for Serie Goon!

Fun season all! Always a shame to see a few leaving after each season but falls in line with how the goon leagues have typically gone in the past. Hopefully those spots can be filled and we don't have to start purging teams. Next year in the top flight should be interesting, my team is certainly not on par skill wise with the best of the best teams but will still be fun competing.

On the whole I'm pretty happy with my DV this season (though trying to feed two forwards at once is tough), posting this so I can properly index something to swear at when the CR comes in.

+8 for a 29yr old seems nuts. My strikers were ok for development despite having 3 young'uns, it was the rest of my team that suffered. Also I'll be bussing in some ringers tomorrow.

10 point increase overall - got a bump on nearly all my active players that weren't 30+ (with the exception of Sukhov, despite that +8 DV, must have been heavily rounded down already). Probably my best CR since Season 1, so I'll take it!

My 22/8 intelligent/reflexes/hard trainer GK double jumped to 23/10. Mission accomplished. Time for the revenge tour in Retu Nagele, this time with actual goalkeeping!

My young wonderkid single jumped, but I expected that after last year's double. Over all, I lost points though. A pretty poor change report. I have some rebuilding to do if I want to challenge again next season.

 Anybody lurking in the thread who wants to join in, now is the time! Take over an existing team (you can change the name) or get a new team boosted. FC Jägermeister is begging for a new manager.http://www.xperteleven.com/?lid=461360 We'll see where we're at after the weekend, but our season 6 start date will most likely be next Thursday.

It looks like I won't be able to reactivate any of our inactive teams so we might have to start the new season with 26 teams instead of 30. That would require some restructuring, and since the minimum number of teams per league is 6, we would end up losing Mr Taupe A and B, and there's no guarantee the game would give Capitalist Pigs and Carnival Flayers their rightful place in Serie Goon. On the plus side, that would eliminate the boring games against manager-less teams. So this will most likely be next season's format unless we get a few new players: Serie Goon - 7 (bottom 3 relegated) RN A - 7 RN B - 6 RN C - 6

Let's go more vertical instead of more wide. If we just do 3 leagues + SG, if you're a weaker team you're just going to be a punching bag forever and we're going to have a lot of 0 win teams every season.

Yeah I agree, vertical makes more sense now that the teams have stratified a bit. If you're a team currently on the weaker end of the scale you'll get battered every season if you're facing teams coming down from Serie Goon. 26 isn't a great number but how about 4 vertical divisions? That way a weaker team could still be interested in challenging for the division 3/4 title while having time to build up without having to face teams averaging multiple skill levels higher.

If we're flipping the switch on Thursday, does that mean the first game is next Monday? I'm away Thurs-Tue (Canadian Thanksgiving), so just trying to wrap my head around the timing.

*Sunday the 10th If you train today it will complete on Monday morning after the game. Still time to make sure you aren't starting the season with a bunch of low form muppets! Should be a competitive season in Serie Goon, all the teams look good.

Hopefully the reshuffle was fair to everyone - it looks like Serie Goon worked out perfectly with Capitalist Pigs and Carnival Flayers, also Old Man and the FC was spared from relegation since there are now 7 teams in the top 2 divisions. I didn't forget the stats and will post them soon-ish in case anyone was wondering. Also, I think the Xpert Pools worked out pretty well last season so I think I'll do the same thing again: First round is 200k buy-in, each round after will be 100k, then the final round will be 300k.

This is true, but my team is starting to peak with my initial youth core hitting the 23-24 range. Was hoping to hit SG in two seasons, but now it'll be 3 and they'll start being old  Though I guess I gotta take care of business first anyway.

League looks great thank you for your efforts here. I'm planning on playing in the betting pools more this year the last few weeks of last season were fun. Also, stat wise pretty sure Capitalist Pigs will once again be the poorest team in the entire league.
