You're not stuck with him. Think of it more as having a transfer stolen from you by the Dream Team shower. Often the loss of that fifth transfer may not cost, depends on how things work out. I transferred in Gameiro (luckily just one) who'll be having a transfer wasted on him assuming he doesn't recover.

The upside of this Sun cock up is that if you already had players who won't make it such as Pepe, Varane etc, you feel lucky that you didn't waste a transfer to bring them in. :wink:

At least the Sun are aware that the Borussia game is being played today. I'd half expected to find their players locked.

Incidentally anyone who hasn't been paying much attention be warned, Borussia kick off at 5.45 pm

Sincerely, that's a massive bummer and so disappointing for you. You put in all that work and they balls it up on the basics.

Sorry man.

Whilst I to have been caught with my pants down, balls deep with pre arranged transfers I do think that a lot of people will be in the same boat.

It just made sense to make your transfers early and do last minute tinkers because of the time between the two phases, though, I think most people will be in the same boat.

Fear not CBN, all is not lost.

But I've been robbed. I could have had Griezmann rather than Lewandowski in my best team in with a shot in my mini-leagues :evil:

Yeah the Sun have definitely made another mistake here. Very annoying and time consuming for people.

But shouldn't be too much of a problem as im sure those who had teams with transfers that needed reversing emailed the hepdesk with the transfres they wanted to do before kick off. Im sure if they did then the Sun would have a time stamp on the query and would update the teams and scores.

Those who are just complaining now after the players (they might genuinely have wanted to put in) have scored points, obviously dont have a leg to stand on.

Im sure if those that did play had scored big points then they wouldn't say anything. Obviously the game providers cant have transfers done after the fact. The problem was known (and even though it wasnt your fault) if you didnt contact the sun before the kick off time then your ship has sailed.

Stuff like this has happened in the past and usually the games providers are reasonable as long as you've made it clear what changes you wanted before the kick off.

Hopefully the vast majority of people on here did this and they're not disadvantaged.

Just seen these comments. I've the same problem. I put Lewandowski in all my teams the week b4 this week. Then found out he had the shoulder injury. Then Tues morning read reports he had taken part in training, so kept him in.

Later on that evening missed the reports that he had only played 20 mins, so was stuck with him after Tues kick offs.

The teams I put Lewandowski in were not letting me reverse him on the Wednesday, making me believe that this was because I put him in teams the week B4 this week, or because the game week had started; I am still confused.

I subsequently took Lewa out of only one team where I had put him in at the end of phase 2 which had 5 transfers for muller, therefore; in theory meaning that I had not wasted a transfer in my other teams.

The Sun have led me to believe that I couldn't reverse Lewa because I put him in last week, but then made me think it was because the game week had kicked off

I am still confused as I am thinking I am missing something in the rules or is this definitely another sun cock up?

If it is I'll be asking for a refund also, when the comp has finished.

This could still be a blessing in disguise, in my other teams as I have kept him, and would have swapped him for muller in all my other teams, therefore having to take muller out for someone else next week .

Is it me or did the leaderboard get changed quite a lot since last week? A lot of people a lot seemed to move up closer to the leaders.

Guess the Sun did allow people to add those players after the fact?
