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).

The rules blatantly say the second phase starts Monday, and game weeks are Tues to Thurs. 5 trasfers now is giving us 10 FOR THIS PHASE. Loks like they can't determine the difference between gameweeks and phases, (I CLEARLY CAN). I originally thought that champ league players that hadn't played this week were the only ones that one could transfer, but then everyone on the forum was saying tues- thurs as the Gameweek and also the rules' /t and c's, which means it's should be a fresh game week , but now thinking if game weeks are tues to thurs, which days are fri to Sun? the rest of the phase, so if the game weeks are over I should be able to use my transfers. I'm beginning to think I've been hustled by that Ricky Rosa Neil Beer bloke , he was the one that was moning about it all. I'm thinking he knew something we didn't (Someone Mentioned he's a professional hustler or something). :evil:

Well you're lucky you worked it out, but to me the way they worded the rules doesn't make any sense to me or quite a few others by the sound of things. It's alright for people that used all their transfers BY ROTATING Man utd keepers and Adurit'z and Laportes, but I had a strategy, . It's still phase 1 and everyones got 10 transfers ,what can be more baffling than that. To be honest people that used their transfers had a purpose for using them, but as far as I am concerned the sun owe me the transfers that I LEFT in all my teams over 90 points 5/6 OF THEM. SIMPLE.

Jude I can understand your frustration/annoyance however Ricky was the 1st to raise this question and wanted clarification on this matter too.
Subsequently everyone else on the forum agreed that the transfers should be able to be used until Sunday.

There will certainly be others in the same position as you so The Sun may be able to reverse this once they are aware of another balls up.

I have found the timing of the games and making transfers a real struggle this week. It's a single man's game.

The only reason I would have transfers left is because I didn't have the time to take players out that weren't playing.

Not convinced on Ricky Tosa's strategy stuff, it's not the complex game he thinks it is. It's more about having the free time to keep an eye on team news then taking a punt.

I mentioned it in an earlier post the problem i think is connected to the programming issue from last werk.

If they has just unlocked the players and not "ended" the week they would of ended up back with the same issue as last week.

So their solution is to effectively end phase 1 completely by unlocking and shutting the phase down at the same time.

If it was the seasonal game and they unlocked players on a thur night problems would occur, they have copied the seasonal game in principle but not reprogrammed properly for the needed timing differences.

Hooefully they will resolve today.

I could have done with that extra transfer. ruddy Sun.

Man Utd better not draw Roma, I currently have a mix of players from both teams. I could do without having to remove Roma players on top of Bailly, Kane, Alli,

If they do draw each other I will be jumping in front of a bus.

My biggest annoyance isn't how many transfers i have, but my decision take out, Stndli, Christensen e.t.c. I never keep the faith & too easily influenced in the moment.

What reaction were you expecting? when people have been hard done after playing by the rules this is the normal reaction and human instinct that follows, to complain.

It is shameful, the rules were very clear, you can use transfers til Sunday, it's Friday and Phase 2 transfers have begun.

Why don't they just employ someone from this forum to work for them, the game would run smoothly then.

I think the best thing for people to do is to email them this issue, because if you don't push them, they wont do anything.

This one may be more difficult for them to resolve because casuals would have already started using the phase 2 transfers.
They cant undo it without effecting those already used.

Apologies

Everything can't be working as normal as the points are all over the place again,with what happened last week I would think there is some manual adjusting to the system as they quite clearly failed last week, and now the computer boffins in my opinion are probably on it as we speak, people wouldn't be looking to do finalise there transfers till after the draws been made, posting on here at 2:30am after the fiasco of last week is a little premature, and of course I understand all the politics of "well it should run properly" and "it clearly states in the rules", there having problems and in my opinion it'll be fixed.

Edit-everything seems fine this end transfers available I had left and players unlocked, the teams with transfers used have none left, pretty simples...

Transfers now reading "correctly" - and differently from earlier when all my teams said have a new five transfers left - those teams where i've kept a couple back to use between now and sunday are showing as they should. Anyone else?

New problem though.

I made the five transfers last night in my worst team. I've now had those locked in for free. And will no doubt get another five to use.

Match centre says he has 7 points, which he should have, but on team page it says 6 points ?

Schalke play Monchengladbach in the league away from home on the 4th March, then play them 5 days later at home in the Europa.

They'll both probably rest players in the league match so we wont learn anything there :lol:
