Have to think you'd have a case or at least get them to rethink it before it's too late.

Are you Dave Gordon? If so looks like you would have a hell of a god chance if they included all the games as stated. Seems like you're team is very well set.

If you do contact the gambling commission i'm sure there would be a good few on here who would back you up.

Its very unfair having played so well all season to be 7th with a chance to win to be torpedoed by such an arbitrary decision.

At that point whats to stop them just announcing that the season finishes tomorrow. It's ridiculous.
No, the other guy in 7th 😉👍

Seen a few comments on Twitter today saying that last night all remaining transfers were removed & then reinstated this morning.

Maybe maintenance,maybe something else.🤔

Followed by changes to the game today.🤔

Have to think that this really would be a problem with the gambling commission as they are not following their rules at all when nothing has materially changed.
i'm surprised at you richard.

UK regulatory bodies are uniformly useless and not fit for purpose. unless you are providing licensing money the UK Gambling Commission will have ZERO interest in you.

Last time i made a valid complaint to IBAS they didn't even bother replying.

sadly in the land where dick n dom make up the rules for others as the go along i fear you are eff'd over this ;)

sorry about that folks but the providers do what the hell they like as and when however daft it is, that is the way it all works!

Yeah you're a million percent right Andy.

But i think if i was Tom i'd still try.

It's possible they've really not thought it through and would still be easy to rectify at this point.

Like Dot said its not like the Premier League is going to be starting next season anytime soon anyway.

it's highly likely they haven't thought it through LOGICALLY, it would appear we are talking the direnamic duo who i have tried to call to account in the past with little help.

a number of fiso members went as far as commencing legal action with good cause using a feller that seemed a bit dodgy to me and got nowhere.

in my experience once they have made a firm decision that is end of however crass and unfair it may be

if i were tom i wouldn't bother, that horse has bolted and they have no interest in their reputation.

"Force majeure" will doubtless get them off the hook, as it would have done for FPL and Fanteam making changes to rules mid-season as well, as mentioned in posts elsewhere oh FISO.

11.1 GENERAL

Any activity of any kind which is deemed by the Promoter, in our sole opinion, not to be in the spirit of the Game or which gives any unfair advantage could result in all, or some, entries being declared void by the Promoter. In theory, they could void all entries!

In respect of the operation of the Game and interpretation of these Game Rules, our decision will be final and no correspondence will be entered into unless you instigate the complaints procedure set out above in Section 13.1. There isn't a Section 13.1. As above, it is Section 10.1

I'm finished with the main game this season. I had little to play for anyway and this has moved my interest level to zero. Good luck to everyone else still in the running.

agree with dot,

good luck tom.

even the pay to play stuff in my view you have very close to zero chance of sorting, as someone who invariably comes from off the pace it has been pretty disastrous across comps for me, you just have to suck it up these days, free comp or not.

season is obviously a bit cut and shut anyway, lets do the same as the epl get it over with and move on.

providers are pretty poor and incompetent these days, but to be fair we knew that when we entered!

some of the fanteam pay to play decisions are particularly beyond the pale but with useless regulators if you play any form of FF i think you just have to accept they can do any crazy stuff they want and have to hope that when it happens it doesn't affect you too adversely.

i might still complain at some of the craziest illogical decisions but i know the above is how it works and have a choice to play or not to play!

Totally unethical.
I had my teams set up for August, and only just read this.
I feel sorry for the people in the top 20 that will still be playing the game at the end of July thinking the game is going to continue into August.

Yeah but you have to remember there where people who didnt have the opportunity to set their teams up for August and take advantage of Europe. Some people may have wanted certain players in March but not want to have to keep them for the next 3 months for Europe. Works both ways.

I had a team with 3 wolves players in it for Europe for Feb/March. It was a short term plan as wolves had easy european fixtures. That was the pull for me. Then I was told that there would be no more Europe. So I had to waste transfers taking those players out because Europe wasnt happening to August and I didn't want 3 Wolves players playing 1 game a week like other teams.

In another comp on this website I brought in Ighalo as a differential in March as he was playing easy European games and some minute in league as Rashford was injured. 3 months on rashford is fit, ighalo getting no game time and i had to waste a transfer to take him out. That's life. The decisions will benefit some and not others but that's the nature of a game that cost 0 to enter. You leave it open for t&c to change at the drop of a hat.
