Why no auto-sub?

Eriksen is first on my bench and Toure who is in my first 11 played 0 minutes. It says that the gameweek is complete but they have not auto-subbed in Eriksen!

If you make non auto subs during the weekend, auto sub doesn't work. Said the man not playing the game who skimmed the rules once.

Have you made any manager substitution between days? IIRC auto subs don't apply if there were manage substitutions. Or maybe it's not updated yet..

Oh FFS that's ridiculous!! I was looking forward to that one crumb of comfort from a dismal week FPL wise.

Yes I did. I took out the low scoring players and changed them for players who played on Sunday and today. However I did not replace Toure who didn't play so surely my first sub should be auto-subbed in for him??

If that is the rule it's ridiculous. It basically means that if a Saturday player doesn't play and another Saturday player who is your first sub gets a big haul, you can't do any changes at all in terms of bringing in the Sunday and Monday players or change your captain which is the most fun and interesting part of the game.

Have you ever had any good luck Gooberman?

In terms of FF, seemingly not. This just typifies my luck with bench subs. When I finally do have a sub who scored well who is first on my bench and a first 11 player doesn't play, I still don't get the points because of a stupid quirk in the rules!! Totally f**king pi**ed off!!!

If a manager substitution or captain change is made then no automatic substitutions or vice captain changes will take place on your team that Gameweek.

That wouldn't normally happen though, as any Saturday players that don't make your starting eleven, should be put in your reserves instead.

Obviously in this particular week, with only one MD2 game and one MD3 game, most people would not have been able to create a full subs bench of MD2 and MD3 players, so some MD1 players are forced onto your bench.

You still didn't start this MD1 player, and chose eleven other MD1 players ahead of them, so you don't really deserve the points in my opinion, (as you would normally have stuck this player in your reserves had you had more MD2 and MD3 options available, and therefore wouldn't be complaining at all about losing his points), so this is fair dos in my opinion.

I think the rule is there to assist people who can't access their team during the weekend. Not sure how many many will pay for a game they can't access though!

What is ridiculous is your inability to take on board the fact that you a now playing a new fantasy game with it's own rules. Forget FPL, read the rules, try to understand them and factor them into your decision making and for goodness sake stop moaning.
