Virgin Media - Odd points total captain Lumesiter Generals
Just looking at this game, the top team brought in Zlatan Ibrahimovic who scored 8 points yesterday
Yet they have been given a bonus of 14 points (I thought captains scored double 8x2 = 16 surely)
The team actually have the points added on as well, its not just a typo, they've got 202 points but shouldn't that be 196?
No wonder they're top
I've dropped from 42nd to 130th over the weekend, despite using all my remaining transfers

Re: Virgin Media - Odd points total captain Lumesiter Generals
I've been emailing them every week regarding points that they have screwed up. To their credit (for the first time!) they do eventually get round to sorting them out.
If you spot anything like this, just drop them a quick email stating where the problems are and I'm sure they will sort things out (eventually). I get the feeling this game will be a complete marathon rather than a sprint and no-one will shoot clear at the top - it's also going to need us all to keep them on their toes

Re: Virgin Media - Odd points total captain Lumesiter Generals
Agreed mate, have sent them the odd email myself as quite often my points have been wrong.
At the moment i'm just doing my best to try and keep up with you at the top
Currently 15th, although all transfers used. They do seem to be doing some odd things with points, such as the mistake bill mentions which when they sort it should mean you move as high as 2nd...
Its fair enough making mistakes, we all do but it does seem odd that his captain scored 8 points and they've awarded him 14 instead. Was thinking maybe he'd been captain for a while but he was only brought in yesterday which makes it all the more glaring.
Can you imagine, with all the euro leagues involved if they were awarding points for assists in this game
That would be a nightmare to keep on top of

Re: Virgin Media - Odd points total captain Lumesiter Generals
Just to let you know guys, I've just had a check & think the leaders points are correct.
If you click the 'View this team's transfers' link (just above the key bit) you'll see he brought in Ibrahimovic previously:
Zlatan Ibrahimovic Inter IN: 30/08/2008 19:04:00 OUT: 31/08/2008 15:46:00 6
If you add those 6 point to his 8 from this round it results in the 14 points shown - it must show cumulative points rather than individual captaincy ones. Confusing, but I think this puts this one to bed.

Re: Virgin Media - Odd points total captain Lumesiter Generals
That would explain it, mystery solved

I'll have to find some other excuse for my poor performance in this game and being so many points behind.
Congrats to foreverengland for being in such a great position, I bow to your superior knowledge of european football
I think I find a bargain from another league then he dosen't even make the bench

Re: Virgin Media - Odd points total captain Lumesiter Generals
I don't think we bothered setting one up mate, as there appears to be no prize at all for mini-leagues. We could have a league just for fun though, i\m up for that if there are a few others inmelvin wrote:Anyone in a mini league for this game.

Re: Virgin Media - Odd points total captain Lumesiter Generals
I'll be in. maybe not many fiso-ers, but a brief look at league stats indicates approx 15,000 plus entries overall - a lot for a sm game, but the prize is quite good (tho', amongst everything else, who really needs 4 tv sets?!)

Re: Virgin Media - Odd points total captain Lumesiter Generals
Have been having a look at points totals for some of the top 20 today and have a feeling something is seriously wrong.
In order to get a team total, I believe the following calculation should apply:
Current Player & Manager points + Total Captain Points + Substituted Player Points
For my team this works out as:
135 + 43 + 37 = 215 (my current points total)
But for example now take a look at the new leader (Mr Fantastic):
158 + 52 + 26 = 236 (11 less than the 247 he's been allocated)
or the man in 2nd (Mr Schofield):
153 + 52 + 24 = 229 (6 less than the 235 he's got).
This pattern continues amongst some of the other teams I've checked. Am I right or am I overlooking something obvious?

Re: Virgin Media - Odd points total captain Lumesiter Generals
I think yesterdays scoring has been done twice in some way. When I checked last night or this morning the scoring for yesterday had been done and the league table was updated accordingly. When I checked again this evening those teams with players playing yesterday increased their points score again. So it seems to me that there is likely to have been an error in scoring for yesterday.
1st - extra 11 points for Villa.
2nd - extra 5 Valencia manager + extra 1?

Scores for Thursdays games have, for whatever reason been added twice
Problem is, with everyone now probably out of the office until Monday these scores are going to remain like this
Makes it fairly tricky to work out how many points you really have, and how many others should have
ok, it might be 11 less for him and 5 for the other at the moment, but if there is another error over the weekend (which there may well be due to so many games and updates) you really need to be on the ball to work out whats going on
This is a bit of a mess, myself, and i'm sure my old mate forever england are in with a chance of winning the monthly prize which ends this weekend in effect. Or are we? By the time they get round to it we could be into October and the monthly scores re-set.
Then its a case of trying to prove what points you should have, points others shouldn't have and oh wait a minute the monthly table is re-set so they don't know what you're talking about

10 teams now in, once Ringo The Lions team score of 98 is added to the rest, i make out the average score to be 224, which will put us in 1st place by a considerable margin
