Team Value (and other) FPL site bugs

Post by V1.0 »

As noted by Mr Clarinet yesterday on page 14 of The Rounded Keeper, some teams seem to have gained additional value:
Mr Clarinet wrote: 09 Aug 2019, 22:41 This looks a bit odd... as of tonight, one of the teams in one of my mini-leagues has a squad valued at £102.0

Is there an obvious explanation I'm missing?
A team in one of my mini leagues is still showing a £101.0m value.

Has anyone experienced this first hand with their team, is the money real and if so have you spent it?

The favoured explanation (from another post/thread on here - I can’t take credit) is that the formula is adding any money in the bank to the budget of £100m not the true value of the team. In other words, I’d suspect that the team you’re looking at was put together for £99m.

Haven’t been able to test if this can be exploited in any way as I have spent my full budget anyway, though I am sure it is, whilst annoying and misleading (especially after the first GW when it will be difficult to track), just cosmetic and will be rectified soon.

My side value is 97.0m but showing as 103.0m. The API equivalent for this page also shows my team value as 100.0m and bank as 3.0m so it looks like every team is valued at 'value' + 'bank' as suggested. I checked to see if you could overspend on the transfers page by going over 100m budget by 1.5m but couldn't, so it seems to be just cosmetic.

Interesting, the subs scores are also showing as 0 at the moment, even the ones who played today. Might rectify after tonights update

When you go to "My Team" now and set up for the new GW, shouldn't "Free Hit" be available? I realise it wasn't there in GW 1 for obvious reasons but now we are setting up for GW 2 it should be back? Using desktop chrome.

Edit : Free Hit appears to be available on the mobile app version but not on the desktop version of the website.

How did so many bugs get passed through testing this year? Really poor and unacceptable imo.

Slightly annoying that (on desktop at least) you can't drag-n-drop to change sub order but now have to "switch"...

+1 drag and drop

Also quite annoying on desktop version that the page opens at the page footer when following the league standing links from My Team. This also happens a lot when trying to view the team pages for your league members. It's seems to be related to where the link is on the page, the further down it is the more likely the new page will open at the footer.

Leave League option too accessible

Post by burkeyoa »

Can anyone explain why when you click on a league, Standing and Leave League are beside each other? It also doesn't even prompt you for a confirmation just boots you out.

I run a cash league and have now had several people left the league by accident when looking to check the league standings. Surely leave league doesn't need to be as prominent as League Standings.

Question I have is when someone rejoins the league after accidentally leaving will their GW1 score still be counted do we know? If not this is going to cause my league havoc :roll:

In a classic league if a manager joins a league part way through a season ( ie GW2) but they had a registered a FPL team in GW1 then they will be added to the league and their total points from and including GW1 will count.
You see a lot of players joining leagues at the end of the season just because they stand a chance of winning.

I agree this is poor. The interface last year was a little different in that if you directly clicked on a league on your list it would just take you to the standings. To get the option to leave you had to click on a slightly different place. The option to leave also asked you for confirmation before actually doing so.

It's bad enough that they always put the option to leave right in your face whenever you click on a league now, but if the site does not ask for confirmation it really is going to cause havoc. The mobile version of the website works exactly the same and peoples thumbs are large. There will be a lot of accidental league leaving where money is at stake.

I believe there is an option to close a league to new entrys and cash league managers do this to avoid the problem of people getting hold of the code and joining further down the line. This could cause real trouble if someone who accidentaly leaves a money league cannot rejoin.

To me the website seems to have taken a downturn this year. There are a lot of bugs that should have been picked up. Stuff like Adrian not being in the game until after he got subbed on shows there isn't someone paying attention where they should. Yes players had to be added in after the fact before but not one as high profile as Liverpool's only reserve keeper.

Design faults which have now been inserted into the website like this leave league option and drag/drop being removed are also quite poor. My guess is they put people in charge of all this stuff who don't play the game themselves.

Has anyone managed to lock their league? I tick the box and then hit Update, but nothing happens.

I inadvertently left one of my leagues on Sunday morning. It was user error but I hadn't expected the leave option to be so prominent and you would expect a 'are you sure' type verification. I've re-joined and no harm done but I agree they need to move that link.

Update league button ''dead''

Post by Payet »

Anyone with the same problem?

Can't modify any of the leagues I'm running.
Already sent a few e-mails to the FPL, but no response and no changes.

Does anyone know if there is another way to contact them except the FPL page?

I think most of the admin page is messed up (You can actually see bits of code on the H2H Leagues Admin page. :roll: :lol: ) I reported problems to them about 10 days ago (viewtopic.php?f=18&t=130653). The last update I got was that they were hoping to get everything fixed before the GW1 deadline. That never happened and I had to trash 5 of the FISO H2H Leagues because of it. :evil:

I receive this email today:

Hi Robert,

There seems to be an issue with the update leagues button at the moment.

Just so you're aware, we've passed on this issue to the developers and we're hoping it will be resolved as soon as possible.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused in the meantime.

Regards

Spot on, that was a really bizarre one when we think about it. He was signed four days before the season started and FPL towers still failed to add him! I think he would have been at least remotely thinkable pick for those who had Alisson in goal (not something I would have done by any means, but still) and a very important pick for Draft managers! Don't FPL towers think about Draft managers at all?

If we truly think about it there shouldn't be any reason why adding any player takes more than one day after the signing, right?

I've managed to lock mine. Even though you don't get any confirmation of it, if the box is ticked you should see that the option to invite players has disappeared because the league is locked.

I just hope they will fix it before GW2 because it's a money league and I have to bring back that one player who paid the participation fee.

They have now acknowledged publically the app is full of bugs and is getting fixed. They seem to think the website is fine though

https://twitter.com/OfficialFPL/status/ ... 8573495297

TBF most of the stuff with the website just seems to be poor design now, no drag and drop, too easy to leave leagues etc.

Apparently if you go to actually make transfers, the confirmation screen asks if you want to play free hit. Not tried it myself though.

It seems like FPL Towers are taking longer every year to get their sh1t sorted at the start of the season.

Probably all tree hugging, Brexit haters, millennial snowflakes, Labour voters in that IT team...

Despite my cynicism, it appears the changing league name/update league button has been fixed :D
