I'm finding the captain business annoying in this one. Last week I forgot about it and so kept Bent instead of Defoe, costing me 12 points. Now this week it's too late because of the midweek games. That's after I tried to change on monday to be told 'you cannot change your captain at this time'

DrBunker · **Posted:** 27 Nov 2009, 22:51

Same here. I've tried to make sense of the rules but still thought I could change the captain but it didn't work.

I know rules are rules and we all have the same restrictions but I don't know why you can change players but not captains.

Anyone still playing this?

I think I am in 50th or so - and have similar position to the Mens Heath league maybe a bit lower here - but try as I might I have not been able to access either site for the last couple of days.

I believe they have the same game provider.

Anyone else had any success in logging in?

DrBunker · **Posted:** 14 Jan 2010, 17:54

Not really playing but unfairly I can access the site. You're joint 90ish.

The current top 10 in the FISO league:

1 ali savran Stoned Husky 35 41 332
2 Julian Clements Eenog Koning 51 38 312
3 steve foster fozzies 42 33 308
4 Richard Stirland Rich Pickings 41 31 305

I just made some Team changes 5mts ago for the start of the Cup Competition.

The Saint · **Posted:** 15 Jan 2010, 17:57

These OFL based games are a shambles this year

I would much prefer simple systems that work to fancy flash based interfaces that don't :evil:

DrBunker · **Posted:** 15 Jan 2010, 18:48

I have to say it worked fine for me when I made transfers a couple of days ago. Bit slow but fine other than that.

Ashers · **Posted:** 15 Jan 2010, 18:58

What cup competition?

Have I missed something?

Found it. :roll:

Knulpuk · **Posted:** 16 Jan 2010, 18:02

I managed to get in at last (took an age).

I emailed the game providers who confirmed that there is no prize for the cup competition

Seems a bit odd - you would be gutted if you won it!

C.Sativa · **Posted:** 16 Jan 2010, 20:09

I haven't checked my team for a while in this game until today.I found myself leading in FISO and 27th overall with still Drogba my captain.This is what I call lucky I guess

Did you (anyone) ever get to the bottom of this? The rules state:

Quote:

Please Note: Once the season starts, you can only change your captain between 00.00 BST/GMT on a Tuesday and the first scheduled kick-off of the game week (Tuesday - Monday) which will usually be 12:45 BST/GMT on a Saturday (except when there are midweek matches). In addition, you cannot transfer the player designated as your captain out of your team after the first match of the Game Week has kicked-off.

It's after midnight on Tuesday and before 12.45 tomorrow so shouldn't I be able to change my captain?

Manchester Utd vs West Ham was the first scheduled game of the week...

Assuming the captaincy rules are the same as in the Sky game, this thread may help. how-captains-work-in-skysports-fantasy-league-t68976.html

The Tuesday game will mean whoever was your captain when that game kicked off, remains so for this weekend's games.

Oh well, at least I got Rooney's points for that then. :roll:

Thanks for the link/guidance all.

No worries. The wording they use to explain how captains work has never been clear, and it confuses many people every season over at the Sky game - including me - and I found that explanation makes things perfectly clear. Good luck!

The Captain thing: i used it a lot this year.. my understanding.. is. if there is a midweek game.. on tuesday... then you can change your captain on tuesday morning... and still make changes for the weekend games following.. on the thursday!!! i ran out of transfers early.. left with only captain change option
