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…

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      you want the free transfers to be advertised if you want to make money out of it - need players to go up more than one price point or it's all a waste of time.

        I agree, still not sure on this Torres hype. Yes he was good, but it was all outside the box, he didn't really have any chances to score. Same Chelsea as last season, little creativity.

      When you take into account how players like RVP are going to drop its really not that crazy, but there are some risks to this alright, especially if you don't make transfers back at the end of the week to base team on long-term.
