Yep, I've got the same thing, 17 points for Aguero showing in team history but hasn't been added to my overall score :evil: ...

hows this compare to u lot guys n gals?

cant believe leading score is correct...... only way i can see it possible is a lot of transfers burned in a MOM attempt........ or they could just be naive rookies....
Are all your players 'to play', Abertawe players ?, judging by the Pontadawe location.

Good scores, have you made any transfers yet ?
lol, nah, had sinclair in a few of them tho

i've come across the Given issue in 3 of my teams, with team history showing 0 and total being wrong, but it seems all my scores are correct on "team list"

current scores..... 99,95,90,89,86

reasonably happy....or at least i was until my 57yr old mum phones me excitedly this morning to tell me she has..... 110,105,104,86,85

thats the last time i encourage her to play... :roll:

1 of my 5 teams has the correct points.
Others have too many or too few points than the team history page.

Thank you for your recent correspondence.

We are currently looking into the issue with the points display on the website so please bear with us as we check into this, apologies for any inconvenience caused with this issue

Kind regards

Ian

Looks like they are on to it. Not checked my teams that closely and won't until later in the week or it's resolved.

GFM staff must be close to nervous breakdowns,as not only have they cocked up the points in this game,but also in the Sky game which they took over running from OFL this season where they've allowed people to make captain changes when they shouldn't have been able to,then not given captains their double points -and the minileague membership details are also up the creek !

I think I might give up on this game as they seem to have no clue how to sort the scores out. I now have a 30 point difference in some teams between team page and team history.

Anyone know what is going on with the scores in this game :?: it looks to becoming a real mess.
First we know that the Shay Given score for week one is not shown on the team history page correctly (it says zero but should be 7). This meant where I had Given in my line up my History score was 7 less than my actual score - not a problem because I had the 7 pts in my total!

Now though there seems to be lots more errors when I look today. One team total is now 8 pts LESS than the history total (and that team has Given in, so its effectively 15pts wrong), whilst another team has 1pt MORE in the total than the history total. Theres errors in all of my other teams too.

Its now so complex that I cant even begin to work out what is wrong where, but clearly if they cant get the scoring right, is it worth playing?

Come on organisers please explain and sort!!

Last email I got indicates that they cannot sort it out. They claim scores are right and team history is wrong.

I think the main problem is that for players that you leave on the bench when they play in the real world, they are entering their score on the history page and including it (wrongly) in the totals there, but (correctly) not including it in your points total on your team pages. I've checked all mine and this is the case in every team. So although there may be minor discrepancies from earlier in the season (especially around goalkeepers) the scores are probably right in nearly all cases?

yes they do, but I'm talking about when you have eg five defenders all playing and you can't fit them into your team so you have to leave one of them on the bench.

Organisers have confirmed that this is the problem. Benched players are being given scores that they should not get - but only in the history totals, not the actual totals! So it appears to be a programming issue around historical scores against actual scores.

GFM gave me a full breakdown for one of my teams for all four gameweeks to date and this does add up, so hopefully we can play in the assurance that actual scores are correct.

In that case why don't you ask GFM for a reconciliation of the team's score of the most blatent example of what you believe to be an error.

As far as I can see, and in line with what a couple of other posters have said, the history page breakdowns are just rubbish, but the teams' scores, that actually matter, are correct.

To be honest I never knew I could ask them to do that.

Had too many players playing today so had to make a choice between a few and leaving Richards in the lineup and Given on the bench were not the right ones in hindsight :lol:

One of my teams had Rooney starred on the bench.Then its other 3 strikers played today so that kind of explains it plus not returning to it after the new team news.Funnily enough it's probably a week where most of my players can play.

I also left Given on the bench and played De Gea in my top team :roll: The annoying thing was I was sure I'd picked Given so was feeling quite smug when I saw De Gea left out. The same thing happened last week, I was cheering Van Persie's goals only to find out I'd left him on the bench in favour of the injured Rooney when I really thought I'd benched Rooney.
Also, while I'm having a moan, I took out Demba Ba from all my sides two weeks ago Image

A fairly annoying start to the season for me but not totally disastrous.

It says in the rules
"You can bring your substitutes into your team at any time before the first scheduled kick-off each day. This means, you can get best value out of your 15 man squad to maximise your chances to score points and best of all, it doesn't use up any of your transfers! You can swap a substitute with any player in your team, provided that it creates a valid team formation."

How do I change formation?
If I play, say 433, then I can only sub a striker for a striker, a defender for a defender etc . I am not able to bring in a defender for a striker and play 532 even though the rules say I can.

You can still change your on-pitch formation by an actual transfer though.

Gonna be more tricky to get your full squad playing every weekend! :D

Prior to the earliest scheduled kick-off on any match day, a Manager can elect to promote any or all of their substitutes into their team. The substitution can be made with any other player in the team, provided that a valid team formation is created (see paragraph 4). Use of substitutions does not affect a Managers transfer allocation. Substitues on your bench do not score points
4. Team formation
Managers' team selections must consist of 11 players chosen from the selection list, in either a 4-3-3, 4-4-2, 4-5-1, 3-5-2 or 5-3-2 formation. One of the 11 players must be nominated as captain. In addition, four substitute players must be chosen. A Managers substitutes bench must consist of a substitute goalkeeper, a substitute defender, a substitute midfielder and a substitute striker.
So a valid formation has to include one of each position on the bench. I see what you're saying though.
