fantasy football 10/11

Nah. They've been idiots and misjudged the number of servers they need for the new site. The redesigned one is clearly a lot more demanding/user than last season's setup and with a steadily increasing demand, and the run-up to the deadline of last free unlimited transfers, there's just a lot more strain on their equipment than they'd anticipated. Fools. Another reminder of how good efests is on that front.

hmm, just logged out and can't log back in. guess i got lucky

made all my changes anyway

[Greeny_Musicchild]

I've got a team in leagues from another forum and work but I hadn't added myself to this one yet! Looks like I'll be missing gameweek one, shame really as I didn't even feel the need to tweek today (except maybe starting with Suarez). Shouldn't have waited until now.

[ampersand]

why's it not updating? shite

and raging that i set up a sun team yesterday and it never bloody saved!

Think we could do with starting a new thread for this years league - or at least updating the first post.

Good response. Pretty necessary IMO, even though it's just a free game. My work league actually involves a buy-in and prizes, and I doubt it's the only one. Means I can get all those Spurs and Everton players back in. After all, both teams always start the season flying

[Ed209]

excellent news, might get this Aguero kid in. a bit tasty by the noises coming out of eastlands right now

I'm really tempted to load my midfield with cheap players from the promoted teams just so I can get a forward line of Suarez/Rooney/Aguero.

[kaosmark2]

I've got Suarez/Aguero and em...Robbie Blake now

Put Silva in as well

[Jaybles]

So can we make unlimited transfers before week 2 now?

What a f**king dreadful decision. How long did folk have to pick their teams?

A total shambles.

[Kowalski]

How long between the announcement that the Spurs/Everton match was cancelled and several signings went through did folk have to change their teams accordingly?

[kaosmark2]

Two days. I changed mine on the day the game got cancelled.

I wonder if those of us who don't make any transfers in week 2 won't get make a double transfer in week 3? I'll be raging if that happens.

A total farcical start to the season.

[Ed209]

wowza. And there i was thinking it was a bit of fun. I see kowalski takes this quite seriously. I expect to get my arse whooped

I set up my account and threw in a random team to sort out when I had spare time friday evening. Luckily i'm stateside so managed to get on 5am UK time when the servers had freed up. Otherwise I would have been stuck with Bendtner and Ameobi up front

Let me guess, you've set your team up for the first set of games, including game week 1 without Spurs/Everton, and were planning to make 2 changes to adjust for the 3rd week of fixtures, getting in players that will have a tough game in week 2?

You're right about the double-transfer though. If people don't want to take advantage of this free wildcard for some reason, probably due to having set up for the fixtures, then they should get a double in week 3.

I have just joined but am waiting for approval. My team is (the very unoriginal) "Norfolk n' chance"

I missed the first week so am down a few points.

It's taken 3 gameweeks for me to appear in the "to be added" bit at the bottom. I guess I'll just have to enjoy trying to catch you all, especially after last weekend.

[Greeny_Musicchild]

fairly certain you don't start on 0 points, you just get added with current score?

Just after kickoff, spent 4 points on trading to switch Ba out and get Adebayor in..... At least that hatrick will go on this week's score, but fuck.... that looks like a bad decision. Ran out of patience 80 minutes too early....
