Evening all. The FPL have this afternoon issued an apology over the recent log-in debacle and look to have made changes on the back of the weekend’s problems.

The link to the full announcement is highlighted above, so I’ll leave you to check it out for yourselves if you haven’t done so already. The first point (below) means we are all allowed free transfers from now up until the Gameweek 2 deadline on Saturday morning- compensation for many of us who were unable to make those last-minute changes from Friday evening onwards..

1. Receive unlimited transfers
No points will be deducted for any transfers you make up to the Gameweek 2 deadline (11:30 BST on Saturday 20th August 2011). If you have already made transfers and had points deducted, these will be restored to your overall total by midnight on Tuesday 16th August 2011. If you have already opted to play your wildcard, this too will be restored at the same time.

From a Fantasy Football Scout perspective, then, just to assure you- we will be resetting any of our affiliated leagues- they will all now start from Gameweek 2 to ensure a level playing field for those involved.

We’ll have more on this later…

    Right I'm going to be annoying here...but just to clarify if I take make 20 pts worth of transfers tonight, they get deducted but will be returned to me after tomorrow?

    Its important I make them tonight due to possible price rises.

    As much as this is slightly annoying given I think my team is in a stronger position than most in my league for next week and the following weeks, i.e I've not gone for many punts like Torres Drogba etc overall I think it's fair.

    Won't be resetting points for GW2 onwards though

      Sack Lynn for being unloyal – disloyal, and for joining in fun in a way that excludes her employer. And sack her for being an absolute idiot, and inefficient.

      I’ve calmed down, now... beyond the initial irritation and dismay, perspective HAS TO kick in - it's GW1 still (ffs), roll with a punch. All this my strategies are unveiled bull... again, sure it's disappointing that the site couldn't be ironed out PRE-season, but hey... like others alluded to before; evolve your strategies.
