Another mess on the cards?

Post by Merlins_Apprentice »

I see that the round 24 opens on the 10th Feb 17:00

So what about the games on Sunday the 11th and the Arsenal - Man City game on the 14th??

Hope the round 24 open time makes no difference and the round 23 teams are just taken as from 12:40 tomorrow for all 3 days :? But when does anything go straight forward with this game :roll:

I can't even be arsed to email them this time

Round 23 opened at 5pm last saturday evening supposedly but all that happened was all budgets were put back to 0 and no players appeared on the pitch.
It eventually got sorted out so this week should as well, and it will include all this weeks matches.

Yeah agree, it'll come right eventually! Anyone play the Yahoo one??

I only got the points for the Watford v Blackburn match today! That took place over 2-weeks ago, so just think chaps, it could be a lot worse than it is!

Although I am still bewilded as to why NO FF site runs smoothly, surely it cannot be that hard..

We should do it next year!

Just seen there are midweek games. What are the chances of their points being added? Slim to none. I have just emailed them (twice). Anyone else been in touch?

Full of flu and have struggled today to sort things out. Doesn't look like it's worked out too bad though. So as there's no games next Sat, does that mean there'll only be two games that round?

no they are part of round 24 as well, at least watford v wigan is and the fixtures page shows everton v tottenham on the 21st :D but round 25 opens at 1700 on 24th (with four games left to play of round 24) :( and locks again at 1455 on the 3rd :oops: missing the arsenal v man city game on 28th and the liverpool v man utd game 1245ko that morning. :cry: :cry: :cry:

e-mailed them with these details awaiting a response :roll:

What usually happens in the majority of Fantasy Footie games I participate in agrees with what CBB says, 2 games this week only..

Everton v Spurs
Watford v Wigan

I am also sure that somewhere in the rules it states that ALL matches are included from Saturday through to the following Friday regardless of what their fixtures say as they are subject to change..

May be wrong though..

Not that I'm too lazy to read all threads again but didn't somewhere before someone post a reply to say games wiill be included (tagged on) to that week. The new week would start again Sat. Would be even more helpful if fanball just bloody well told us :evil:

I can't see on the fixtures.I believe they will include to week 26.
And does that mean round will be locked between wed-sun ?

Just sent them an email to warn of this week's impending doom. Will post the reply when it comes. If not then we're obviously all going to have to transfer at half time :?
