As of 10.45 this morning the game had generated around 375 in entry fees but the five pound 750 guaranteed needed subsidising by around 200. So if the grand in the hand goes this week the game will run at a loss of around 750 by estimation :(

Damn I am peed off! I set up 3 teams with just enough money to enter them all in the £2 league without entering GIYH. However, a slow laptop coupled with seemingly being past the point of no return, I accidentally clicked to enter the £5 league with one team, meaning I only had enough to enter one other team in the £2 league!

I have to delete all my other saved teams just in case I go back and realise the one remaining team I couldn't enter is worth £100,000! :evil: I am seriously annoyed.

Edit: And, because at the time I thought I was entering the £2 league, I didn't even enter GIYH :cry: :cry:

Nightmare Jonathan. definately delete the drafted teams and try to forget who toy had. Personally I'd deposit a tenner into my account and stick them in. Or has the deadline gone now? its normally an hour before isn't it.

Very rare I get a saturday off so i'm not 100% sure.

Thats not good, this is a brilliant game and i'm worried about the future of it if its going to run at a loss. Maybe Stakesy Will have to stop it being a guaranteed £750 pot in the £5 league. Can't run at a loss :cry:

Deadline gone. I was entering my teams with about 7 mins left to go. It was too late. It can only really be my fault, but it seems there is a point you get to where you can't go back, and my laptop was running so slow and juddery my mouse must have clicked the £5 and not the £2. Trouble is, as I say, I didn't enter the GIYH, so if my team breaks 100pts..... :?

I didn't enter GIYH for my £2 team either, in the hope my desperate email to technical support would be answered, and that I could still enter my 3 carefully selected teams... nightmare!

delete the other teams and just watch the one team mop up in the £5 league ( you can win this as I've only entered the £2 league :lol: :wink: )

Have to see how we all get on going for the 100K

Now going to post my 4 teams :D

All deleted, and I won't remember who I had in them as complete teams, just the odd player here and there. Fingers crossed 99pts is enough to win the £5 league this week! :roll: I can't really work out how it happened. When entering a team, you are asked whether to use a saved team or a new team. I clicked "used saved team", and from then I can't remember what happens.

I am guessing after clicking "use saved team", your team is entered and there is no going back. Can't even remember at which point you are asked to enter GIYH!

Interesting, DC. It is difficult when entering multi-teams whether to try and pick 4 completely different teams, or stick with a core group of players and then change 2 or 3 others around them.

I was actually looking back at previous league histories, before my last second panic, and it seems that in recent weeks, not many have had multi-winning teams. Can't remember who it was, but they had two cash winning teams, and had just 2 or 3 different players, with the same core defenders and star players.

Last week, my 5 teams I tried to use as many different players as possible, and ending up just winning £8!

Re: Round 15.....

Well I started off with one team, my free team - managed to win around £3 so then entered a team the following week I managed to come joint first so won £130 then I was hooked. Then used that money and for a few weeks was entering around 8-10 teams with a varying amount of different players - I've basically coming to the last of that £130 so i'm trying to prelong it.

I think i'll stick with 4 teams per week - thats enough for me. I base them around my weekend bets. So this weekend I'm betting on man utd, arsenal, chelsea, fulham, wigan so they are the teams i've picked from.

I don't want to go down the route of entering 10-15 teams each week :)

Final numbers are 442 in the £2 league up from 360 last time and 138 in the £5 league up from 132 last time. Hopefully word of mouth will spread as I've not seen any adverts for the new promotion other than the usual weekly email and social networking updates which only attract people who already play the game.
