GW16 Free Transfer Poll

GW16 Chip Poll

Injuries

15 August 2011 1214 comments

Paul

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…

Surely it would have been fairer to allow for the option of taking a W/C this Gameweek? It would at least allow those with good teams already, the option to stick and be given an extra W/C that they can take another time when they feel they might need it...

As for me Rooney, Torres and Suarez in please!!!

If you replace the cocaine in this picture with unlimited transfers this is me.

However I only really need to make minor adjustments, I can understand on one level why FPL made this rule change as they must have been tsunami'd with complaints after the deadline debacle, but this is a pretty clumsy way of trying to fix it.

Suppose there is no real straight forward way of fixing it, and in this case there is no chance of pleasing all of the people all of the time. Players (like me) who are pretty well set up are feeling miffed that their planning is worthless, but if they didn't change it then all those ripped off by an error beyond their control would be pissed off too.

  at least it gives those who missed out GW1 a chance, its hard for them to be able to differentiate between those with login problems and those without, so this solution seems fairest imo

what a farce-

Do I do loads of transfers and then discover they have messed up again and i lose the points?
My opponent sufferred from a sending off and three non players and two injuries but now survives that.
What aboout the people who aren't awate of this - they will be massively disdvantaged.
will price rises take place or not - this is crucial#

Absolute Fecking Farce.

I think the unlimited transfers and resetting leagues from GW2 is a horrible idea. In part, that's becuase I anticipated that Friday night/Saturday morning would be a clusterf*** and nailed down my team early Friday. I guess I don't understand why other managers couldn't do the same. I can see 1 additional "free" transfer - but unlimited ? That's crazy.

"At the next deadline these transfers will deduct 8 points from your total score in classic leagues and your match score in head-to-head matches.

These transfers will be active for Gameweek 2 as long as they are confirmed by 20 Aug 11:30. "

^ Anyone else get this message when trying to change players for gw2? I assume the points wont get deducted though?
