Example press release

I noticed from Google Analytics that a lot of visitors coming here from Google search were looking for example press releases and were directed to the post about press releases' impact on finances. So I decided to post one of my recent press releases in my private league to give readers an idea of what a post match press release might look like.

Liverpool thrash ManUtd Fans FC

Liverpool are now top of the table after beating ManUtd Fans FC 2-0 in the first match of the Primera División. Two of Liverpool's new signings proved their worth instantly as they scored a goal apiece to sink the home team.

Striker Vilgot Bertilsson and midfielder Kenshi Mukoda were the goalscorers, but it was their star playmaker Roy Preece who was adjudged the man of the match by the fans association for his fantastic performance. Two of Liverpool's other new signings, Yrjö Korvakoski and goalie István Rumos also played a useful part in the victory.

Liverpool now host Friezers FC at home next Saturday in what many consider a very exciting fixture. Their last meeting ended in an emphatic 3-0 victory for Friezers, but they might find it a much more daunting task as Liverpool will be wary of their tactics this time.

Writing a press release after every match is a good idea as it helps raise your Xpert rating and also fetches 200,000 econ every week. Post match press releases are the easiest to write because you don't have to make up most of the stuff and just have to write facts.

Press release "econ"omics

Many managers don't realize the importance of press releases in Xpert Eleven. That's probably because they don't know that one press release every week adds 200k econ to their finances every week. Either that, or they are too lazy to type a few simple sentences after every match.

The rules are that one press release of more than 250 characters during a week (Monday to Sunday) means that the team gets a 200k econ bonus from the sponsor on Monday for the team's "media presence".

200k a week might not sound like much, but look at the numbers over a whole season. In a league with 8 teams (such as the Xpert leagues) there are 14 matches every season, which amounts to a total of 2.8 million econ, which could be spent on the skilled youngster that you were looking for but couldn't afford.

Be careful, though. Being caught writing press releases that are absolutely rubbish (such as copying a daily event mail) could result in you being docked 20-30 points from your Xpert rating. The easiest and safest way would be to write a short match summary after every match. This way, you would have a template in mind and be able to write one very quickly.

You can write as many press releases as you want, but they won't fetch you more money. However, you will get an extra Xpert rating point for each day that you write a press release on.
