A third phase of HomeCrowd testing starts tonight and will likely run for the next 48-hours on our test server.

For those who have missed our previous updates, HomeCrowd is our new comments system offering new features such as user profiles, comment voting, hot topics, stickies and sorting by rating among other things.

This third phase of testing is set aside to test the code tweaks made after phase two, although there are a number of cosmetic changes that we’re looking to get feedback on – we’ve increased the spacing, added larger gravatars and generally brought HomeCrowd closer to the current comment system.

Depending on how this phase of testing develops, we’ll be opening HomeCrowd up to a bigger audience very soon and we’re hoping to target a “going live” date in early May to catch the final few Gameweeks of the season.

For those who have already got involved in our testing, you should already have an email in your inbox offering instructions on how to get involved.

If you’d like to take part in this phase and any future phases of testing, then drop us a line with your FFS username to homecrowd@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk. We’ll try to get you signed up and included asap.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Whos more important to have - Bale or Tevez?

    Can do Suarez & Walcott to Tevez & Bale for -4
    OR
    Suarez & Fellaini to Bale & Kone for -4

        You can't play football with midgets without people noticing.

        Puyol was a big miss, without him they have no defence what-so-ever.

      They were shit twice in a week against Real madrid, without referee decisions they're finished as their ageing midfield is incapable of pressing a high line when they lose the ball. look at the running stats Munich ran 6km more than them.

    Would it not be better to make Home Crowd 'live' at the end of May?

    It would likely be less busy on here, then you could rectify any problems before the start of the new season.

    If there are problems when it goes live at the start of May, then it may cause depression on here, as people may not be able to read my hilarious posts 🙂

      It's not so much it's wrong but against a team of Bayern's stature in Bayern's home stadium, they surely should have a better plan than they did tonight. They simply can't just attack and not defend properly.

      Their philosophy is all about attack, they may need a rethink to solve this problem as it's not working for them against teams who are as merciless as Bayern.
