Fantasy Footy League 2011 - 2012

[big eejit]

I had loads of points on the bench. Which could mean I've got a good squad, but means not that many points this week. Mind you I doubt there were many high scores unless you're a Bolton fan. (Pending City of course)

They suggest resetting your league so it starts at week 2. Is everyone happy to do this - before we know the scores! I am.

I made my changes too. But I was being nice!

 

[Puddy_Tat]

I'm happy to re-set and start at week 2 - I couldn't log on any time between early evening Friday and Saturday morning. I don't know how crap my team did...

You can check your team's score and everyone else's now and have been able to since sat arvo...

this is my best ever start to a season but of course if the majority want to restart then so be it.. just seems a bit shit as im sure most of us sorted it before the system crashed..!

Bollocks to that. Lets just stick with it.

(and no, I've not done amazingly well or anything)

I can also live with that.

Definately not!

 

[gabi]

Yeh, im in 3rd place for the first and only time in history so i'd rather bask in the glory while i can

I just had a little play with some transfers and it still said I would lose points. Am I missing something?

I wasn't affected by the shut down but would enjoy a little further tinkering if it won't cost me anything.

You're allowed one free transfer a week. Each one after that costs 4 points. If you don't do any you get two free transfers the next week, but only fpor that week - i.e two is the limit.

 

[gabi]

they're still trying to make it technically happen i think. hence no announcement on the actual fantasy site yet. prolly a big job.

I reckon we should stick with it.

 

[AverageJoe]

Thats the normal way BA, but this - http://www.premierleague.com/page/Headlines/0,,12306~2421213,00.html - states that everyone gets unlimited transfers up to this weekend to make up for the hoo haa on the opening day when the site was down for about 48 hours

 

[butchersapron]

Cheers joe, i missed all that.

 

[AverageJoe]

No worries - i am hoping loads of people do, otherwise 2 million people will all put Aguero in and make 10 transfers so all everyones teams are identical. Which would defeat the object somewhat

Aguero's out for 6 weeks apparently.*

* this may not be 100% accurate

 

[starfish]

You know youve had a bad week when 3 of your top 4 points scorers were on your bench. Then again i never start off well. Marathon not a sprint.

 

[N_igma]

I've rejigged my whole team. Early days yet but I could've had loads more points if I didn't have two spurs players and an everton player in my starting 11 so an official "FUCK YOU" to the fantasy premier league.

 

[gabi]

Do you not read the newspapers? The game was called off early in the week..

It was Friday by the time I realised they were in my team! There's no way you can blame the ordinary punter here, it's their fault they didn't have the bandwith to deal with the demand.

 

[gabi]

Well.. Yeh. That's true. But equally for those that were on the ball it's a bit shit that everyone who didn't do their research gets a second chance. The first round is traditionally a massive gamble.. and that's no longer the case. so yeh. fuck the fantasy league from my pov too as i actually did well.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

so an official "FUCK YOU" to the fantasy premier league.

*likes*

I tend to leave it until the Friday to have the best information about who's injured and such. Some clubs seem to have a habit of reporting a player 'doubtful' at the start of the week...

 

[starfish]

I reckon we should stick with it.

Agree with this. I got a really shit score over the weekend but was playing about with my team on friday night with no problem & didnt even look at it again till sunday. So the outage on saturday didnt affect me.

 

[Will2403]

Changed my team on friday night to get rid of Bale and Pavlyuchenko but it didn't save it. I'm sure I confirmed the transfers too.

So it's only fair they have allowed unlimited transfers. Swapping out my whole team now. Got 42 points with Bale+Pav points to come. The russian will probably have been shipped out or below adebayor in the pecking order by the time the game is played. Thats what u get for picking gash spuddie players.
