Official Leagues

Xpert leagues run on a 15 week cycle, so each season will start 15 weeks to the day after the previous season. The following table shows the league start dates relative to a "baseline" of the Super League start date.

League	Start Day Offset	Week Offset
Super League	0	0
Major League	3	0
Ultimate League	6	0
League of Champs	10	1
Xtreme League	14	2
Golden League	19	3
Final League	24	3
Xpert League	28	4
Power League	30	5
Hattrick League	32	5
Classic League	33	5
Master League	40	6
Dream League	54	8
XCL	57	8
Euro League	58	8
Xpert International	62	8
Pro League	83	11

As you can see the start dates aren't staggered very well and this can ave a massive effect on the game.

Best Leagues

The Pro League is often regarded as the best league for buying and selling players. There is a 3 week gap between the Xpert International league and the Pro League starting. This means the Pro League has very little competition for buying players when its season starts as all the other seasons are several weeks underway at that time and prices are often lower than at other times.

The Pro League also benefits for selling players with a cluister of leagues starting when the Pro is 3+ weeks into the season - making the Pro players good prospects for being undereval as they can have several games by that stage.

The Dream League lives up to its name as far as the XCL is concerned. Due to the dates it is the only league that doesn't have a change report during the whole XCL campaign - which is a great advantage.

The Super League has minimal competition for players - for 3 days - so isn't as bad as most other leagues.

Worst Leagues

Pretty much all the other leagues are bad fo buying/selling with lots of competition for buying. The worst cluster is probably the Final, Xpert, Power, Hattrick & Classic Leagues which all start incredibly close to oneanother.

Swedish Leagues

The "Swedish Leagues" were the first 8 xpert leagues created and were exclusively for Swedish players for a while. Around 2 years later a further 8 Xpert leagues were created and these are often termed the "European Leagues".

The standard of teams in the Swedish leagues is generally higher and this has attracted many of the better managers when stronger teams became available in the job centre.

This is the list of Swedish Leagues:

• Major League
• League of Champs
• Xtreme League
• Final League
• Xpert League
• Hattrick League
• Euro League
• Xpert International

Using the Job Centre

Previously I wrote a post on how XpertEleven Ranking points are accumulated and how that can be used to check the quality of your tactics. When you have a good ranking you may wish to try and find a better team through the job centre.

To use the Job Centre in the official leagues you need to have been with your existing Xpert team for at least a month and have 3 skill bars. When this is achieved you can jump to a new team.

The lesser teams have less/no competition so are easy to get, but ideally you want to be aiming higher and will be competing against other managers for your dream team. Who gets the new job is based on 2  factors: Loyalty Bonus and manager skill

Loyalty Bonus

Loyalty bonus is explained fully in the Xpert Daily here. In brief it is based on how long you have managed your existing team and gives a bonus in number of bars to your skill level. The following are examples of what loyalty bonus you get for a given length of management:

3 months will give a bonus worth 0 skill bars
6 months will give a bonus worth 1.7 skill bars
12 months will give a bonus worth 3.5 skill bars
24 months will give a bonus worth 5.3 skill bars
36 months will give a bonus worth 6.3 skill bars
48 months will give a bonus worth 7.0 skill bars

Manager Skill

Manager skill is measured in bars and can be seen in the lobby or on your profile page. I shall explain manager skill in more detail in another post but briefly you get rating points for each match your official team has played in the last 6 months, and these rating points are converted into skillbars.

Briefly you earn more skill points for winning, especially away, and also for setting what the system decides are good tactics. That means playing to the referee, playing careful is very good for ranking points and general good tactical decisions.

As all matches from the last 6 months are included good cup runs will help your ranking as they get more games in your "cycle"
