Did my subs just before I posted, so figured everyone else would be in the same boat.

Hope you manage to get yours done on time.

Whether it works or not seems to depend if you've made a change already. I have four teams, I made subs and transfers alright in three of them but in the 4th one I'd already made a transfer earlier in the week which I am now stuck with.

If I try and make any additional transfer, including reversing the earlier transfer, nothing works. I was planning on cancelling that one and going with Fernandes instead but that's a write off so expect a big haul from him over the next few weeks :roll:

Why rush through changes to the website just before a deadline?! There's another International break in a week why not do it then? So annoying.

Yeah as soon as you make a transfer you can't make any more changes. Think you can still swap players in from your bench but can't reverse or make any more transfers. I was on live chat to them last night and was told they are working on it and it will be sorted before the deadline but can't see it happening now with only 7 hours left.

Thanks, Coleridge. Nice to call a few 50/50s right for a change.

Would have liked a haul from your captain more than mine, but glad to see you went with Mo in the Unlimited. Well played again.

Hope you can get that two-digit rank down to one. 🀞

Well that gap opened up quickly. Hadn’t realised how cut adrift I was! Nicely done Johnners.

Been a rough patch of fixtures to ride out for me, kicking myself for not getting in Mo (convinced he was in as a striker). Suffered from blind faith in Arsenal and too much farting about with cheapos. Lost my way a bit with all the IB’s, still engaged just need to put a decent run together.

Sounds exactly like my TFF season. :)

Quite a few fixture swings coming up after the IB, and plenty of time for a manager of your calibre to chip away at the gap.

And looking good in UCL, Nm, especially with your wildcard still in hand. πŸ‘

Not too far off me and Art, just a couple of decent weeks.
Johnners appears to have flown for now though.
Good job we're pooling our prize money in this one :wink:

I wanted to play too, but only found this league after the season had already started.

This year was just a little trial, we weren't sure if it
was feasible to have a fan team mini league.
Seems to be working ok so far 🀞
It does have some quirky rules though, which certainly wouldn't be to everyone's taste.

Salah killing me in this 😱

Just one more week he says. Figure I’m just gonna have to bite the bullet despite fixtures. I can’t bear to part with Saka or Palmer, so I’m doing the unthinkable. Doesn’t half free up some cash!

I feel like I'm running in treacle. Going absolutely nowhere except deeper in the goo.
Feel annoyed that I failed to predict how predictably unpredictable Spurs were.

Same here. Wish I hadn't ditched Solanke now.

Didn't see that Hammers result coming either. Performed surgery on one of my teams just to bring Isak back in, when all I needed to do was buy Emerson again!

Same thing here. I'm also regretful about Solanke. Everything pointed to an Isak haul and if he had timed his run better after 5 minutes it probably would have come.
Fine margins as per.

Cheeky. I’ll help you out, not sure which of Art’s teams is in this but I’m hoping I passed on the 🍌

πŸ₯‡Jnrs....859.9 πŸ‘
πŸ₯ˆ.Col.....772.6
πŸ₯‰ NM…….766.8

Bumper week finally. Almost made top 100 for the week without any clean sheets. 5 goals and 10 assists helped. Took a hit to get in Mo. Gave the armband to Palmer in the end which worked, though in hindsight should’ve gone Saka :P

Well, two awful week for me in the iso, not helped by being screwed over by the website not working properly. I thought about ditching Haaland, getting Salah and upgrading in midfield but that'd make it too similar to my other sides. Have missed the boat now with this team so will have to stick it out with the goal shy Norwegian....

Well, that was a frustrating weekend. Had Palmer in all three teams and Mbeumo in two but managed to avoid captaining them in any. I think I might have managed to get my three lowest scoring forward/midfielder in all three teams. Quite an achievement in its own way.

In happier news I won Β£24 in the 365 prize matcher thing which seems to have replaced that football score thing I plugged the other week. Added to my free bet winnings from before, that's my teams for next year paid for without making a deposit 8-)

You weren't the only one who managed to dodge captaining Palmer. Between us we had 4 different captains and none of us went for him πŸ™„
