It's a bit fiddly. You'll have to take Crouch out, then change formation, then bring in Cahill.

By 'take out' do you mean bench or transfer?

I can't do it any way other than transfering the player out of my squad.
I reported this issue to Virgin Media yesterday so they are aware of it.

Sorry, I meant transfer. As I said it's fiddly. Hopefully they'll change it.

Agreed. The site isn't very user-friendly at all, and that video is starting to really annoy me.

I'm in the league - Need Ham United.

I don't want to sound like a Firefox fanboy but the video annoyed me so I disabled it with Adblock Plus (it can also be used to remove the annoying right-side tab in iGoogle too in case that's been bugging anyone...).

Not the most enjoyable team selection procedure I have ever come across, but Hoops! Virgins are in. Cheers for the little extra FISO goodie, Admin :)

I can't help feeling that the 2 week "warm up" period after the season gets underway, before this game does,is more for the benefit of the game producers than ourselves.

It doesn't seem right to be starting a fortnight after every other FF game,and I'm considering withdrawing from this game, as I'm not looking forward to experiencing the same problems when trying to make transfers as I did when selecting my team.

The laptop I'm using at present is a few years old,and as Quizking mentioned earlier,this game's design doesn't seem to make allowances for that possibility. Shame.

....thanks for the mention. Since writing that a couple of weeks ago, have had a look at the game at work, at home, and at libraries and internet cafes across london town (as i do anyway) - a variety of machines and set-ups (IE, firefox, opera etc. on both XP and vista), but all supposedly meant to work, all in commercially viable operations. Only been able to access this game from 3 out of 11 different machines. A small sample i'll admit, but if any way indicative of the rest of the country, the game operators may be glad of an extra couple of weeks to get things working properly if they want to maximise numbers.

Works okay for me and I'm on a mac for christ's sake! But it really is terribly slow and drives me up the wall. I'm not playing this, it's just no fun :cry:
