Just finalised my team for the weekend - very quickly as only had 5 mins of lunch left. I had 3 spurs and 1 everton so needed to get most of them out.
Anyone know how the wildcards are going to work this year? (off the top of their head without me having to read the rules)

can someone explain thist to me - i have to spurs players, so should i sub them ahead of the weekend? on the faqs it says that if a mach i postponed they'll probably get 2 games in the next week
"Any players you have from that team will score 0 for that Gameweek. Players will play twice in a future Gameweek, when the game is rescheduled."
So, if I put them back in the following week, and they get two games i'll be up an extra match for those two players, compared to squads without spurs/everton players? Have i got that right? thanks

This is where your tactics come in and how much attention you will pay in future weeks and what subs you will do etc.
To take my team and my thinking. I had four players out of action this weekend. If I didn't take advantage of the free transfers and left it as it was, 3 would be on the bench but I would have one guaranteed no scorer in my team. Then if anyone else didn't play for any reason, am down to a smaller scoring team.
I would rather re-jig my team now to maximise my scoring for this weekend and then use the 1 per week transfer to transfer in players who are playing more than one game in future weeks. That way I am getting the best of both.
It's up to you how you want to do it though. Last season I wasn't very pro-active in my transfers and think that really lost me a loit of points. When I started paying attention in the second half of the season it made a big difference.
No idea if that actually makes sense by the way and I'm sure more expereinced peopel will be able to advise further.

that does make sense, thanks - i noticed there's an auto-sub thing that kicks in for non-starting players as well though? adds to the confusion a bit... i thought in faqs it says non-starters just get zero points. oh well, i'll watch and learn this year. doubt i can ever be bothered to really be proactive enough to maximise my points - till the bug bites me at least!
no, your subs come in the order you've chosen in the 'my team' bit.
but if they dont play either then obv it keeps the original player on the field and awards them 0 points.
tis a good idea to have subs who are guaranteed starters, even if they play for a shit side rather than a mediocre player from a big club who only gets the 10 mins here and there.

I had Jagielka (sp?) and suarez but that's why I was tinkering yesterday to remove them.I've had trouble this past two days! I've got two spurs players, an everton player and suarez in my starting 11 ffs!

Well at least they've got the excuse that no one knew the Premier League season was due to start today and that they might need a bit of extra server capacity </sarcasm>

Cut off is 11:30, I think.
I'm getting incorrect user/password messages but I know it's right.

had loads of trouble logging in yesterday and this morning
quick question - can you set up private mini leagues once eveything has started - ie beyond the 11.30 deadline this morning?

Not much use now, but it generally eases about 12-15/30. Which is obv too late to chnage anything this week. That's why you need to set aside 30 minutes whilst you're having your tea on friday nights.

Tbh Id completely forgotten Id entered this, first year Ive bothered. Wasn't until the thread came up in new posts that it twigged.
Considering team may have needed redoing from scratch, a rather bad move. Assuming you wont get a huge number of transfers each week to rectify whatever problems I may have caused myself by overlooking this.

You can set up private leagues at any stage I think. they would just start week 2, or whenever.

You do get a wildcard (2 actually I think) which allows you to replace as many players as you want.

Ah well one would do if Ive left it in a mess. Have a nagging feeling Ive one or two Everton/Tottenham players in first team which wont help me off to a great start.
