Scores for once seem to be correct here - scores are meant to be doubled for captain and doubled again for power plays weeks - so it's 120 points for ronaldo in one game yesterday. Intermittent problems with logging on however.

Not sure if scores are correct as my weekly score is not double my powerplay score??

Anyone know how you can tell on the website what week is your double points week?
I thought (and meant) I'd picked this week as the double week for all my 3 teams but one hasn't got double points (typically my best team and it had Ronaldo as captain). I don't fully trust these muppets and need to know what week, if any, I've chosen/been alloted.

Anyone heard anything from SM about yesterdays issues and lost points due to being unable to move players from the bench?

I mailed them and they just said the issue was now sorted, which I knew, but no mention of the lost points which was what my e-mail was really about. Not got any points for Benteke etc.

Yes (and at least this seems to be working here) - on top right of the pitch screen there should be two squares, one saying "view player stats" and one "power play points" - press this and should give you a list (just the two so far) of weeks with your chosen dates - though the actual score shown will be the single amount (assuming you've picked for this week) , i.e. to be added to your score overall. I did enter my teams at different times: i'm assuming that sm don't update all scores at the same time, as have had some scores correct not others, then going back to check find that all correct eventually. Hope this makes sense.

Cheers for the reply Quizking but this doesn't really solve the issues I have as i was already aware of the box and this screen

1. In one team my monthly score is 174 yet the points from the page you noted is 88, which when doubled is 176. In another the monthly score is 71 but on the power play page the score is 40. How do you get 71 for a doubled score unless they are issuing double points now?

2. My best team which hasn't received double points only has the first double week noted. Does this mean the 2nd double week hasn't ben picked yet or does it only show the week after it has started (i.e. i could have picked next week incorrectly as I couldn't enlarge the screen on the tablet I was using). I guess I could always input the code again and see if it lets me pick a week or not

Hey guys,

Did anyone get the latest power play code for this game month ?

I have checked online but haven't come across it and of course forgot the paper

Thanks :)

Just been looking at the top 20 teams of the month. All of whom have used their double bubble weeks this week. Surely the idiots running the game must realise that an odd score is impossible if you are doubling a score, yet 12 out of the 20 are odd :roll: .

Wish I had used my double week this time though, scoring issues or not.

Looks like the Man United v Liverpool game hasn't been doubled, thats why the leaderboard has odd numbers. Unfortunately if you don't have Ronaldo this week, it might be over. A hell of a long way back otherwise

Couldn't agree more. Will double up Messi on the next CL fixtures, but unless he gets a sackfull I will retire gracefully and leave it in your capable hands to take away the overall prize!

Seems like that way now, but you can't switch between them, so Messi will have his weeks when he outscores Ronaldo. They won't be that far apart by the end of the season.

Everton KO was 8.00pm.
As long as you get your player in your starting line up before KO of the relevant game, it counts, that is the challenge in this game however, getting your players into your starting lineup before KO.
Wasn't such an inspired move in any case....

Secondly does this mean that if you are happy to forego the first one or two months, you can delay entry to October without being any disadvantage whatsoever? ( this would allow you, amongst other things, to get a better idea from the forum whether it's really worth entering at all).

I have it on good advice, once again, that the 1st prize ( gift) is worth £7,500, they will pay this instead of (gift ) if you so wish and are lucky enough to be on top come the seasons end.
Hope you were right, this seems to be at odds with the current stated prize on site, of 2 tickets to the community shield final, which i doubt are worth £75 let alone £7500.

Sorry to be a pain but to clarify.
If I have 11 players starting at 3pm in the starting line pre kick off. I then sub in 4 more players from my bench for the evening kick off, do I get 15 players scoring?
and if there are European games mid week . Can I get some of those 15 scoring more points as long as they are in the team pre kick off?

I'll stop asking after this :-)

DM never made this clear...but from day 1 i have played with the assumption..that it's only the 11 players as from the first kick off of the day that score points.
Although today in 1 of my teams, there has been a player clash...i am experimenting to see if the player i brought in before 3pm kick of scores points.
...scoring updates and clarity is total rubbish anyway..however there is nothing to win apparently apart from monthly prizes..unless you stand a chance this month
don't worry about the rules :lol:

Part of me is well miffed with this as he's in my team as double scoring captain.

However more of me is well chuffed that I don't have to waste any more of my precious seconds on earth with this I'll managed, incompetent game with an unbelievably pathetic overall prize to boot.

May have a go for a monthly down the line, but for now it's over to you guys. Good luck!

This note is just below my 4 substitutes of which I have never seen any points shown on their lines . If I shift my substitutes around during the match week they still show no points and the player subbed shows nothing as well. am I missing something?

NOTE: The points breakdown shown for the 4 subs bench players are the points you WOULD have scored IF these players were in your starting lineup, instead of on the bench. Use this nugget of info to choose who to put into your starting 11, and who to keep out of the team.

Hi all,

Couple of questions...

firstly does your euro signing only apply to champions league games?
Secondly, if I bring on my subs for the late game on Saturday, does this still apply or do I have to set my team out before 3pm on Saturday? :mrgreen:

You get Euro player points for domestic league, not domestic cup.

Your subs count if you make them before kickoff...the site is often very slow and sometimes doesn't make your subs. :roll:
