would not mind joining the league late but cant seem to find it either by pin or name.

is it closed or just temp shut until transfer window opens?
Hi all,

I can confirm that joining the league is locked during live play but is OK during the weekly transfer window.
Just popped my application in without any issues.

If accepted, will see how quickly I can catch up on two missed weeks

Hi Rubikqube

I've checked recently for your application ... what is your team name? By any chance Blind Optimism?
Should have no trouble catching up ...

Not often I get chance to gloat but I jumped about 17 places to top of our mini league this week after captaining Rahm and had Fleetwood too. 20th overall. It won't last long so I'm going to enjoy it :mrgreen: :D

Nice one Curwinkle. I have to admit to not having heard much of Rahm before so I was surprised to see his ownership stats. I was cheering on Fleetwood, especially after Henrik's captain horror show.

Interesting selection choice this week, with arguably 5 of the favourite 8 (Garcia, Rahm, Hatton, Cabrera Bello and McIlroy) all in same quarter of draw.

I have John Rahm left. It's not going to be a great week for anyone. Only a handful of European tour players left

Na
Rahm
Fisher
Kjeldsen
Noren

i think that's it? Won't be many teams with many of them

The overall leader is not playing though, in fact a lot of the top lot aren't.
They all get random selections and are only at the top because their random selections at previous WGC was Fleetwood as captain.
Current leader now won't t be in top 2000 or so at end of tournament, unless he continues to get inspired selections given to him in the big events by the random generator.
I really wish if you did not actually make a selection for say a month in this competition, it then removes you

Tanihara's a Tour player too, as it happens. He's playing well, as I write.. there'll be even fewer with him in though!

Having Rory as captain won't be the disaster, as the majority of people will have captained him.

It will be those players that don't have Rahm in their team that had the disasters (as maybe 50% of competing players do have him)
Maybe 5% will have captained Rahm also (5 of the top 100 have), so that is a 2m or 3m swing depending if he wins final on top of what they were already behind, which really is too much for people to come back from, even this early in the competition.
Even though I do have Rahm, I am hoping he doesn't win final, as that would be another 600k points i drop further behind those that have captained him.

Just tried it on the mobile and it came up with the same message :?

However, it did give me the option to proceed (half hidden under PC clock message), and I can make changes.
