At kick off, two teams were still private. Each will be removed from this league by Wednesday this week unless the respective manager posts a screenshot in this thread of their score history page scoring the team has been valid throughout.

Sibrown still has two Bournemouth players and is over budget. He will be penalised his top scoring Bournemouth player and top scoring player overall (2nd highest if a Bournemouth player is top).

Same punishment for Tiny Liverpools except that one is over budget with two Palace players.

Finally nffc has two Hull players (only just short of the number Hull actually has) so will lose points from the top scorer of the two.
FFS my first ever penalty points in any game I have played. I thought I had made a great last minute tinker bringing in diomande when he scored as well :lol:

Haha. After me not being able to police quite as actively as I've done in prior seasons I was expecting worse! Frankly I'm amazed I got a valid team in!

I have fixed it, sorry.

Wanted to keep Diomande but there is no way I can transfer out my other Hull player without decimating my transfers

Got a red card on the first day of the season - not the first time it has happened to me. Twice before. :evil:

Got to use a transfer soon - not decided on who yet. :oops: I'll leave till next week. Not many tiny players left to play this weekend.

The league table has a funny look to it - a bit suspicious of a few teams above me. (Not saying I put a great team in but not too bad in honest opinion).

Saw one midfield of Mahrez, Barkley, Siggy and Redmond. Definitely (tiny) big hitters.

Plus with two decent strikers.

I don't mind losing as long as it is a fair game.

At a quick glance they look fine apart from sibrowns dodgy team and two others on private.

I saw another one with Vardy and Defoe upfront with four midfielders costing over 4.0.

I couldn't afford that with the budget.

Sorry nffc but is everyone else happy with the punishment of just one transfer for fielding two Hull players?

He gets to bring in a player he definitely knows is starting and still gets points for 11 players.

I pick a valid team and my Watford player doesn't play so I get penalised.

Might just be me being a sulky sod though. :lol:

Think he lost points as well, think nffc made an honest mistake with the two hull players. So I think his punishment is sufficient in my opinion. Rather have started with your Watford player, my one got sent off.

Well done to you for picking a valid team.

But he only lost points he shouldn't have had in the first place, no?

Maybe the change should have taken place after the game week had finished?

Yes, that one is in a post further up by mystery and will receive penaltys.

The end result for him is 1 transfer down and 11 players played,3 of which(hull/leicester/new pick) he knew line ups of.
If any of us has used 1 transfer we would of had 12 players playing (also 3 known) so probably fair?

Personally, I don't think so but it's not my side game.

One of main rules has been broken and he gets a one transfer penalty.

Never mind. Carry on. :)

Think the teams over budget should only get appearance points from their players until their teams are under budget and meet the one player per club rule.

I wanted to bring in together the likes of Vardy, Mahrez, Siggy, Barkley, tadic but played it by the rules.

I knew if Mahrez didn't score, I could rely on another bit hitter like Barkley.

At the moment with the way the TFF website is set up I'm not 100% sure I'm able to police this properly at all. Until such time as I can see what each of everyone's players have scored from the team links via the website then it's difficult to make any comment other than that already made. (Incidentally, Maldini, I'm not 100% sure about this but I vaguely recall you'd benefitted from the same leniency last season where you'd made an invalid transfer but lost no points because the extra player didn't play or scored zero)

Transferring a player in who breaks the budget before the deadline and being unable to pick eleven players from eleven different teams aren't quite the same...

And I didn't put another player in to compensate the lost points...


But point taken.

Maldini (before the ninja edit) wrote:Not quite the same.
Joking aside, you have a point. But at it's heart this is a relaxed and fun competition. I don't really want to be throwing weight around, and I'm not wholly sold on there being a massive benefit taken by nffc on this one. Maybe a marginal one, but I'm happy he loses a transfer for it - on the traditional 10 pts/transfer formula this seems ok. Even with the bigger numbers of transfers then at, say, 7 pts/transfer I'm still comfortable with the penalty. In an ideal world the person running this game would have been able to police more actively in the run-up to the season beginning but I couldn't and my efforts to offload some of my admin roles on games hadn't gone well. No-ones fault there so I'm very reluctant to over-punish in this instance - in the case of the Private teams though they're out until they prove their compliance within the thread.

No worries. Just didn't seem a particularly harsh punishment.

Nothing personal nffc. ;)

To be fair before the season started I would have thought playing with 2 hull players would have been punishment enough! :)

Mystery not sure if youve checked teams as they stand but the liverpool one is still illegal as well.

Yes, noted. I can see that one. I haven't decided what to do about it yet if it continues into another week.

Well, that was a rather challenging update. Firstly, the penalties for the first week are to be as described earlier in this thread. If the rule-breaking continues by these teams they will just be removed later this week, as will the Private teams.

One difficulty was that sibrown has updated his team since and I can't see who is highest scoring player was for week 1, so for the time being I have applied a 15 point penalty - the highest scoring player in TFF - plus two points from the duplicate Hull player. If sibrown posts his history in thread I'll be happy to adjust the penalty down to the highest scoring player in the team, plus the highest scoring Bournemouth player.

For Owenclass's Tiny Liverpools I can see the highest scoring player and have removed his 7 points, plus again the 2 points for multiple players from a club

Nffc has just been penalised the two points.

All of which brings us to the table below, which does not include the private teams.

A tidy, Tiny start. Ayew, the Hammer's big money import failed to last a half, so learning nothing, I'm signing Everton's recent big money recruit, Bolasie. Let's hope he lasts longer! :shock:

To update you all on the miscreants, the two Private teams have now been removed from the league (although they are still on the league table and presumably will be until the next update). Owenclass's team will also be removed unless it is in compliance with the rules by kick off tonight.

And sibrown, you still have two Bournemouth players. I'll deduct the highest scorer once again this weekend unless fixed.
