Barton looking a good buy, still some points to come with the Sunday matches, still in 79th at the moment, I feel like Arsene :(
 
Absolute fucking car crash this week. My best scorers were on the bench. Pile of crap.

On the other hand IRL Everton won and Liverpool got twatted. :)
 
I had changed my captain from Nani on Friday. But checking today I obviously hadn't pressed save which is good.

Shit week with only 42 points but second highest in my pub league so don't feel too bad.
 
How the f... did that happen. At 3pm id won my H2H match & was in 6th or 8th place with 3 wins & 1 loss. Now it turns out ive lost it & have only 2 wins with 2 losses. Somehow El Quixote got 3 extra points in that time even after it had been updated.
Scratches head vigourously & looks around a lot suspiciously.

Likewise (different captain but same thing happened - and in my case not so good)

Or the FPL website did something odd, since it seems to have registered the team changes I made at the same time. I don't entirely trust the site after week 1's cock up.

Bugger.
 
The other person got more points as a result. They also take the transfer points as well. Not being funny, but i don't get what you've having problems with

Im having problems with them saying one minute id won the match, albeit with a shite score, then a few hours later saying i hadnt & changing the league table around. It appeared that the result was final but it wasnt. Why not just say the game week was still in progress or results were still being updated. In the greater scheme of things it doesnt matter, dont need to put another 10p in the slot, it just annoyed me a bit.

It is ok, i will get over it.
 
I've been zealously watching it since sunday night. It changed earlier today - once when bonus went in then one more when subs went in the once more when transfers went in. It doesn't tell you that you've won, just that you have more/less points at that point.
 
I'm considering doing the wildcard thing in order to get Aguero in and kick Carol Andrews to the kerb. After leaving it too late to make a difference before, I figure it makes sense to play it early in the season. I suppose if you're near the top of the tree then you may want to save it as a final advantage to clinch it at the end, but otherwise you may as well maximise the potential once you've had a good sniff of the season. Whaddya think urbanz?
 
Hmm....up to fifth, but have made a (rash?) decision to alter my team, which will cost me 12 points off next week. On the plus side this enabled me to bring in Adebayor as my third striker alongside Rooney and Aguero, stiffen up my defence and leave me with 2 million in the bank.

Lets hope I recover those 12 points via the changes. At this stage of the season its the difference between 5th and um...8th :)

I'd do it. You need to leave it long enough to get an idea of who's doing well this season, but leave it too long and you can't afford to buy them, and even if you can, you don't have them for long enough to make a difference.

it's a shitter system than previous years. seems much slower, albeit better looking. it used to update bonus points much quicker.

anyway - yeh, im playing the wildcard this week to get aguero in. im confident this decision will spell the end of his goalscoring run and man city's challenge.

I know nuttin' :hmm:

Actually, looking at it, I think it was because Joey Barton got picked in the dream team this week, which gave me two extra points. I realise that's not exactly your problem, more with the way they presented it, but that's where it came from I think.

I was thinking of playing my wildcard this week too, but I've got two free transfers saved up, and (somewhat illogically, I know) it feels like I'd be wasting them if I play it now. In my head, it feels like I should use the two frees this week, then the wildcard next week.

That makes no sense.

You don't get points for being in the dream team lc.

That makes no sense.

Last year they gave us a second wildcard in January. dunno if they're doing that again. but if they are then about now seems sensible to play the first wildcard. got a good idea of who's sharp this season by now.

Non? What's the "bonus" 2 points, then? Oh wait, best three players in a game get 3, 2, and 1 bonus points, right? Guess it was that.

Yeah, the second is during the transfer window. You have to play it then, which is just damned fascism :mad:
 
Yeh - bonus points are decided by some mysterious panel of 'experts'. Sometimes they make no sense at all
 
I played my wildcard this week.

Cue a crop of injuries, players being dropped, and otherwise not being able to find the goal.

:facepalm: :mad:
 
I have crept up to 75th after a better few weeks, reflected in my September only position, which is 61st!
 
I forgot too. Ended up with Rooney as captain, who obv didnt even play. fucksticks. i was doing ok too.
 
Made my changes - might do some tweaking before the end of the week, but reasonably more happy with this lot.

Carroll's gonna score 5 like Berbatov did last season, of course, now I've just given up on him.

e2a: quite chuffed I managed to get Young and Nani both in the team though.
