Considering Shakhtar and Villarreal both made the semis last season - they've been absolutely diabolical this season :lol:

One is a fluke.

Two is a co-incidence.

Three is a pattern.

I can't keep up after that.

I hope Man United get Roma away first, or maybe a nice long, ardous trip to freezing cold Russia, Rostov or Zenit preferably :D

Those blocks need taking down a peg or two. 8-)

Changed my mind on some transfers at the last minute yesterday.

If I hadn't then I think I'd have a team in the top 5.

Zenit would be problematic.

Especially as they're knocked out :D

Basically I had two almost identical teams doing really well. Was going to sub one to a Juve block and one to a Seville block.

You guessed it. I had a beer and subbed both to Seville blocks thinking I'd split them onto different paths later on in the game. Had another couple of beers and felt as smart as Professor Brian Cox himself until half way through the second half.

He was crying last night too.

Maggie beat him in the second round of the Canterbury indoors bowls championship.

It was embarrassing.

Anyone else noticed what the Sun have done.



This is a farce.
TRANSFERS

Each team entered for the DTE Game will be allocated a total of 20 transfers to be used across the course of the Europe competition apart from the time of pre-scoring before 19:45 on Tuesday 14 February when there is unlimited transfer functionality.

For each of the four phases of the Competition there will be permitted five transfers for each team. Each team will be credited with five transfers at the start of each phase. Any unused transfers upon completion of the phase will not be carried over to the next. So:

before 19:45 on Tuesday 14 February unlimited transfers
between 19:45 on Tuesday 14 February and 19:45 Sunday 26 February five transfers
between 00:00 on Monday 28th February and 19:45 Sunday 19 March five transfers
between 00:00 on Monday 20 March and 19.45 Sunday 23 April five transfers
between 00:00 on Monday 24 April and 19.45 Sunday 3 June five transfers

27th of February where have you gone.

These buffons at the Sun cant even read a calendar



Second point. Transfers have now unlocked and they've given me 5 in every team were are my fuc in transfers, the ones I haven't used and what has happened to my points.


The Sun are at it again... wxxnkers :x

Completely unacceptable.

The rules are very clear. And they've been clarified twice to me in the last day.

My entire strategy was based around saving transfers for this part of the phase. The rules state i can use them and the Sun also told me this was the case.

This game is licensed by the gambling commission now. No way should this be allowed to stand. They should just reset the reset until the correct date.

NO point in asking for money back its now about that its about the time and effort put in to give it a proper go.

They have to abide by their own rules and terms and conditions. At that point they can just do whatever they like and no one has any comeback no matter what.

And please don't give me this "what do yo expect from the Sun lark". I expect the rules to be implemented properly.

If they don't sort this the Gambling Commission needs to have a look into it.

Some may argue through their own interests and pocket but this really can't stand.

Dont know you from adam mate, but I'm just being polite in responding to your post. Looks like you and I are in the same boat. It clearly says that the phases runs until 23.59 Sunday and game weeks are tues- thurs. Am I going mad?, as that tells me that I should have some transfers left to use now which I haven't used.

The Sun have cocked up big time.

Their rules are quite clear.

And like you they've clarified that to me twice yesterday in the clearest language possible. They can't just make something up on the spot now.

We'll have to get it sorted out in the morning.

Was looking forward to what the draw might throw up and the impact it would have.

I've still got 2-4 transfers left to use in my teams after deliberatly not using them so far. (which is why i clarified; twice).

I'm not totally surprised as I think this is what happprned in previous years - i.e. you have never been able to use 'left overs' at the end of a phase.
