We’re carrying out another test of “HomeCrowd”, the new Fantasy Football Scout comments system, tomorrow. Those who with to take part in this test can get on board by emailing us at homecrowd@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk.

This is likely to be our last “closed” test of HomeCrowd prior to going live, although another short open “stress test” may follow early next week if required.

Invites should go out tomorrow morning and will include details of how to get involved.

Those who have already taken part in our earlier tests will get the invite as before.

This test is focused on the latest optimisation tweaks, some new features and, in the main, the new design.

Recent changes include:

  • Brand new design including new skin and emoticons.
  • Full Private Profiles now added with the ability to change password, display name etc.
  • Display names are now limited to those not currently used in another users display name or username. Basically, no two users can show the same display name.
  • Individual comments can now be locked by moderators and admins to prevent further replies.

All being well, we will be rolling HomeCrowd live early next week. We’re currently working on the importer to ensure that the changeover will be as seamless as possible – not easy with almost five million comments to import over. We’ll let you know on progress.

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

    FA Cup replay - Should have been a pen not a corner which led to the goal - great for Wigan.

    Only downside - Charity Shield may allow Moyes to touch a trophy 🙁

      it's funny though isn't it...

      what a change for Moyes...struggles to win a trophy with Everton continuously (not that that's a bad thing) then his first match in charge of Man utd is a chance of silverware.

    Its seems awful boring to not not a transfer on the last day but what can I can actually change here?

    Hart (NOR)
    Zabaleta (NOR) Verthongen (SUN) Luiz (EVE)
    Mata (EVE) Coutinho (QPR) Walcott (new) Bale (SUN) Lampard (EVE)
    Kone (AVL) Tevez (NOR) Defoe (SUN)

    I know many will say Defoe -> Sturridge but who would I bench then? Luiz -> GJ might be on the cards because Everton will probably score?

                It could have easily been much more if Aguero, Dzeko, and Nasri could put away the sitters they missed. The 1-0 score doesn't reflect the amount of goalscoring chances that were squandered.

                    anyway as I said below, I just think it is about minutes played at this point. Tevez could have been tired today and if this was the case than I cant see him out there vs RDG. Could be just wishful thinking I suppose.

                    Sorry I meant Tevez.

                Anyway I did not see the game so cant give a fair assessment on that. I just think its either Dzeko and Aguero or Dzeko alone. Tevez nailed on for the last one.

            And that 20 min wont give him an edge over aguero who has played a game less than him in the past 4 days.

      Tevez to Sturridge is the obvious move.

          Had Mata too. Should have a 12 point lead.
          You have a lot of differentials though to make it up. Think he will win. 🙁

    To any basketball fans out there.

    A halfcourt shot while being defended by multiple players. To win the second game of a finals series (first to 3 wins) in my countries championchip. The team who won trailed for most of the game. Unbelievable shot.

    Anyone reckon Tevez might be benched midweek? I reckon him and Nasri were subbed because of Mancini growing tired of their performance. Could personally see Sinclair/ Kolarov playing next game and maybe Maicon.

    Something like:

    ------------------------------- Pantillimon -------------------------------
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ----- Kompany -------- Nastasic ------- Clichy or Nasty -----
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    -- Maicon or Milner -- Yaya -- Garcia -- Kolarov/Sinclair--
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ---------------------------------- Silva -------------------------------------
    --------------------- Aguero ------------ Dzeko ------------------------

    All in all this hasn't been a great season, but I have enjoyed little more in umpteen seasons of FPL than my Mata to Lampard (C) transfer this week for a hit. Do hope Bale doesn't score much tomorrow.
