Daily Mail 2011/2012 Fantasy Football

[7lb claimer]

Well done Chuck and others for a fantastic start.

I agree with the points per transfer but there is no way to check on it. We had a few dead weights last year who clearly either gave up or lied about transfers/capt remaining.

Points should be 25 points per transfer and 20 per capt IMO. I'll fill in the gaps where needed, crispy did a decent job last year of organising it I'll pm him.

I have some decent teams but agree that some people will be romancing on transfers. I'd be quite happy to send my log in details to a trusted chairman for it all to be checked out. Difficult to put a number of the value of transfers and captain changes but I'd estimate 15 and 8-10. Most players have a lot of C/C left which suggests they're difficult to utilise in an obviously profitable way.

[JDR]

I'm 122 in the game but can only join one more mini league.

[padmole]

Anyone else have trouble logging into their teams on this - I defintiely have all thecorrect info and yet it just doesnt work even when they have confirmed info back to me.

In such a high maintenance game unless I luckily had RVP as capt 4 weeks ago Im a goner..............Plus I still dant sign in

[WilBert]

I've not had any problems logging in. Wish i'd had problems on Saturday as I benched rvp in my top team

[Surprised]

All ok here and managed to move up to top 3k

[padmole]

Just used someone elses comp to get in - got a team in 3600 th that has not been managed for 3 weeks as consequence and 3 spurs on bench incl Bale
Forget this game me thinks

[WilBert]

Strange scoring day today. Just about sums up my season - I decide to leave Ramsey on the bench across a number of teams as the cheapest midfielder and also playing away from home.

I did well last season but the luck's balancing out big style this season

[Art Vandelay]

Well, that was quite annoying. Firstly I'd been planning on bringing in Dempsey as captain for today but the unexpected cup replays for Chelsea and Tottenham talked me into a change of plan. Secondly I'd been wanting to bring in Sessegnon for ages, I chose today to do it

[WilBert]

That's been the story of my season Art

[bloggie]

Starred Pog in all 5 teams not that I've much chance of winning anything.It gives the current score a boost anyhow and I haven't played the Daily Mail game the last few seasons.

[Art Vandelay]

Well, that's surprising just checked the update and I'd hardly dropped at all. I had three players missing, nothing for the captain, a sending off, and a disastrous change of mind over a Dempsey transfer, I was expecting to be well off the pace. Maybe I'm still in touch. Just about....

Although that makes it even more annoying I didn't bring in Dempsey. I had him captain in my third side, it's been like that all season. Whenever I get a side near the top it immediately stops scoring well and one of my trailing sides gets big scores until they swap positions then the previous big scoring one dries up and the one now trailing starts climbing again. It's like as soon as a side hits the top 50 they stop scoring to wait for my other teams to catch up

How are we doing for transfers then?

[WilBert]

I got the kick off time wrong last night and left 3 Matas on the bench. Fantasy footie does bring out the worst in a man. I Prayed for a missed pen a booking and a substitution.

Average transfers 9 with 3 captaincy changes but I'm barely troubling the top 1000 let alone the top 100 this season.

[Art Vandelay]

So you're to blame for the penalty

I had Lampard as captain, held on to him for that game instead of doing the Dempsey swap. So that went well at least he got on eventually.

I see Terry appeared on the bench too. I'd held on to him for a couple of weeks because he was meant to be back, then he's ruled out for another six weeks so I take him out, and he immediately makes a shock return

Arghh. I was planning on Gerrard but decided to wait until Sunday (I'm replacing someone who's playing Saturday). So annoying

[WilBert]

Great to see FISO folk so well represented in the top 10. Finally something went right for me this season with captain Gerrard (daisy chaining Nani) in my top team. Top 1000 for the first time. Good for us amateurs

Good luck gents.

Sorry Wilbert, trying my best mate but shot my bolt in this game. Still not far off so you still never know and may have to get a little ingenious on the old capt front

[The Elkmaster]

These had the same issues as the telegraph Sunday afternoon. Another points update tonight.

The technical issue with points scored from transfers, captaincy changes and substitutes which were registered between 3pm and 4pm on Sunday 15th April has now been corrected.

This took a bit longer than planned I'm afraid but the next score update is been run this evening and the points gained from changes made between 3pm and 4pm on the 15th April will show on the website tomorrow morning. I can apologise for the inconvenience caused by this issue.

Kind regards

Now then Gar / WilB , captain choice(s) OK since that last reply , seems that my bolt may not have been shot as severely as others or I have just got lucky. With a fair wind and a huge chunk of luck 2nd may be close tomorrow morning. Not saying I'll finish there but I can see the line at last.

Suzykins still 3rd, 23 back from Andy E and his ensemble in the league of leagues. 115 points chaps - anyone got any ammo left for a final push?

[WilBert]

I went Klasnic/Wheater over the weekend for my Baines', didn't have room in formations for my preferred choice Eagles

Looking tight for the places bar the top prize, nervous times!
