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.

              Takes some balls to beat them on their own ground after being stuffed twice at Ewood.

              Quote from the Telegraph: 'Jordan Rhodes then netted the winner from the penalty spot after Grant Hanley had been fouled following an extraordinary 60-yard solo run.'

              Perhaps they learned from that FA cup tie when they persisted in hoofing the ball to Shittu: the words candy and baby spring to mind!

        It's true about Defoe's status as a DGW option. Yes, he is a risk, but who isn't?

        I think the most nailed on DGW striker is Kone. I don't even know if I think Wigan will do that well in the DGW.

        Of all of the options, Defoe might be the best of a risky bunch.

        *New Post*

        Begovic (Bunn)
        Shaw Baines Rangel (Demel Enrique)
        Lampard Fellaini Sissoko Michu (Hoolahan)
        Rvp Suarez Lambert

        Any advice on how I should approach next few weeks?
        Haven't taken a hit all season, only 1FT, 2m in bank

        Bale > Lamps
        Tevez/Defoe > Suarez
        Both for a hit?
        Don't think I've got anywhere near enough DGW players, is it worth pounding the hits to get 6/7 in?

        Sorry for the essay. Thanks for any help

          Both for a hit. Taking no hits at all is not the optimum strategy in FPL, especially with DGWs - I'd want 6 or 7 DGWers personally.

            Thanks mate, I was thinking both but just a little apprehensive because of the hit - may take a few next season, it's been a tough learning curve/1st season on FPL - can't believe I haven't played it before. Excellent & this site is very helpful.

        Has Defoe been injured or just unfavoured? Really confused: wanted him but worried since his minutes last few weeks have been 20, 0, 30, 29, 90, 25, 0, 0, 38

        Anyone else looking at Lennon for the DGW? Given the guaranteed starts I think he could well be a better option than Defoe.

          Only 18 points off the top now buddy! Sent you a very draft team, like thrown together in 45 seconds, its a start though.

        anyone going into dgw without man city coverage? Is it too risky?

        For me it's harte (can't afford), yaya (can't fit him in) as nailed on

        Likes of the whole defence, tevez/aguero are risks which is why I am staying away.
