Referees - Basics

In XpertEleven playing to the referee is one of the most important tactical choices. The 3 main areas of tactics that depend on the referee are:

• Aggression
• Cheating
• Offside Traps

The 2 attributes of a referee are Skill (S) and Harshness (H) and these range from 1-9.

Aggression

The general rule of thumb with aggression is you should play Bruise with H1-3, Normal for H4-6 and Careful with a H7-9 referee.

Cheating

Cheating can be more subtle than aggression but a simple rule would be cheat with a referee of S1-5. It is also beneficial fielding players with the cheat SQ, especially as a playmaker.

Offside Traps

OST is again dependent on skill and a general rule would be any referee with skill and hardness both above 5 wil give benefits when playing OST.
