I thought the Metro had made another mess up again with the gameweeks. I knew this week was an International week but the Metro two weeks ago clearly had the week 26/3 to 02/04 as a seperate gameweek on their website, even though no games were being played. I made a free transfer last week to ensure I could make another transfer in the gameweek 26/3 to 02/04. Come Noon last Saturday and my transfer counter was Not reset to one. Looking at the gameweeks you could see that the Metro had scrapped the gameweek 26/3 to 02/04 and combined it with the previous gameweek to give a combined two week gameweek of 19/3 to 02/04.
I thought initially I might have been imaging things but the conversation below between the Metro and a Facebook user makes interesting reading.
Metro - you've made a mess up of things AGAIN!!!!!!
You specifically showed there being a game week on 26 March to 2 April, even though there were no fixtures. But it was a good opportunity for us to get our monthly team entries sorted out for April, and we were assuming there were three free transfers before teams playing a double gam...e week.
And you only introduced this list of specified game weeks, AFTER your major muddle over the secret, non-communicated double game weeks around the Blackpool-Liverpool game. So even though there were no League fixtures, we took it that we could at least make a transfer.
Now you've boo-boobed again!!!!
Do you guys run this game from down the pub???!!!! You certainly seem to be on the falling-over water much of the time.
Metro Free Fantasy Football Hi Brenda - We originally put a game-week in for this week but removed the game-week when it became clear that no matches were scheduled for the week. This was made clear via both the countdown clock and the page listing all the active game-weeks http://fantasyfootball.metro.co.uk/gameweeks" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Not made clear at all. You only listed these game weeks by specific date after your last mess up, so why would we think we wouldn't be allowed to do a free transfer? You treat us with contempt. You don't seem to realise people plan strategies to try and win, based on your published rules, but it is near-impossible when you keep changing things all the time whenever you realise you've made yet another mistake.
in which case you should have left the game week in as published, whether there were fixtures or not, to allow people to make a free transfer. The next best thing you could do is allow two free transfers this week. You change everything else on the hoof so why not change this?3 hours ago ·
Unfortunately, we will not be offering another free transfer to all players as the information about when the game-weeks were starting was on the site ahead of time and the countdown clock for the start of the next game-week on the transfer page also showed these dates. The best resource for checking the game-weeks is always here:

2 hours ago · It's pathetic. You really don't know how to play fantasy football games do you?!! People are planning transfer strategies a few weeks out. The fact that you finally notice yet another of your mistakes a couple of days before a new game wee...k is about to start and then change it, doesn't help people. To do the two transfers needed for 2 April now costs -25 points. And it's really annoying the way you patronise people with your comments, not only in this thread. We now how to play these games - obviously you don't

Though I would not chance doing a transfers no matter what they say, plus with international's not much point.
