Ye but there is no money in my bank it says tem value 7.5 but when i do transfers i have no money.

Also do they update the points during the match or not?

AdAm I haven't played this before, so it looks like learn has you go.

I've noticed this value of 0.0 as well. However, I believe it's just an 'on-screen thing' as if you try and take advantage by selling players valued at 0.5 to buy in expensive ones, it doesn't let you, and actually takes your 'proper' value, as opposed to what it says on the screen.

(For those of you playing the Sky FF competition, it's happened on here as well).

As for points updates, I don't imagine for 1 minute that it will happen during play. It'll probably be an over-night update, in the same way that many of the other FF sites work.

Site says it's updating now.

Not sure if it is updating or just gone t1ts up.....?!

Regarding transfers:

Currently says transfers are unavailable
Says transfers can be made before the start of any match, so presumably between games when there's an early ko is allowed?
Captain changes are only allowed before the start of a gameweek (Tues to Mon)

If you transfer your captain out, will the new player assume captaincy, even in the middle of a gameweek, or do you play with no captain?
Why can't I make transfers now for todays games?

I've looked at the rules and T&Cs but can't find answers.

You can change your captain before the first match of a game week (a Fantasy League week runs from Tuesday to Monday), which will usually be 15:00 BST/GMT on a Saturday, except when there are midweek matches. Captain changes will then be disabled until the start of the next game week. In addition, you can only transfer the player chosen as your captain out of your team at the same times as mentioned above.

Can you accept me, hopefully the supporting of Sheffield Utd might give me more chance in this than the Premier League !!

Thanks, but I read that too.... I don't understand it though?
'The times mentioned above' are before the start of any particular match aren't they?
So, can you transfer your captain out before a game starts and how does that fit in with the gameweek rule?

What have I missed?

I see transfers are now enabled again, but no points update yet.
Also, I'm in the FISO league, but all I get when clicking on the Private League link is the page to create/join a league....?

GM · **Posted:** 08 Aug 2009, 15:09

Jester I understand it as you get one chance per game week for your captain, with no option to change the selected player, till the new week.

Not sure if its a bad or good twist to the game

Your league Team name shows under your players table.

(Still confused over transfers/captain changes though...)

It looks like there's quite a few mistakes.

Not good if this is week 1.

Is there anyway to find out how many total players there are overall in the world?

UPS · **Posted:** 10 Aug 2009, 19:47

not sure...but i know -1 point is 44,000 position...so about 50,000 approx.

blahblah · **Posted:** 11 Aug 2009, 00:54

Didn't Ledley get an assist? :oops:

blessedbrian · **Posted:** 12 Aug 2009, 10:42

Here's the Fiso Texaco Top 5 after week one, we are currently the 8th overall best league.

Quote:

Manager Team Name Goals Assists Pts
1 Chris Younger Forever England 3 1 29
2 james page frattonender 4 1 26
3 roy williams Royal Swoop 2 1 23
4 Chris Knott Pompey Champs 3 1 22
5 Chris Spackman Glory Hornets 3 1 22

Im still getting lots of applications to join the league, but im not seeing a lot of posts from these unknown teams

So post here to say which team is yours below to get out of pending limbo

Manager Team Name
Out of my league
Forever Foxes
Owl Have You Utd
championship kings
Sos,Egg+Bacon All Stars
The Bill
What a team!
super flying owls
Stuff

Also we seem to have two teams from the same manager pending geordie-glory and haway the lads . I thought it was only 1 team entry per person in this game?

In fact looking at the overall private league table, in third place there is Scott's League which has 14 teams with the same manager name

Good to see the Pompey boys doing well and getting to know the division in readiness for next season! :lol:

did a couple of last minute transfers now my team value is 10.3 mill....how did that happen

frattonender · **Joined:** Thu Dec 07 2006 **Posts:** 100

They were still altering players values, right up to ko time.
I ended up being 0.4 better off. Which if i had known, i would have
brought a different player in.

UPS · **Posted:** 12 Aug 2009, 19:22

didnt do me much good.....9 paltry points

This game seems an absolute mess.

Tried to make a transfer this afternoon and keep getting 'Your Team is Over Budget' message even though according to my budget I have 1.125 spare!

Did some digging then found that half my team had a value different in the player list to the one in my team - one guy is even now classifed as a striker although he's in my team as a midfielder!

No point in e-mailing them as their main OFL game seems half-cocked at the moment and their focus will be no doubt there for the forseeable future.

:evil:

blahblah · **Posted:** 14 Aug 2009, 16:16

I have gained £0.6m to play with :shock:

Maybe they felt sorry for me having two non-playing WBA defenders? What is their defence, anyway?

Or maybe the disappearing Ledley assist? How come Wheater only got 3 points?
