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.

    A bit ahead of schedule here, but here goes.

    Current team for GW36:

    Sczcesny
    Rafael-Enrique-S Taylor
    Maloney-Michu-Bale-Hazard-Mata
    RvP-Berbatov

    Subs: Fabianski-Samba-Clyne-Lambert

    Should I do the following for an 8 pt hit?

    Sczcesny, S Taylor and Samba => Robles, Dawson and Luiz

    This would give me:

    Robles
    Dawson-Luiz-Enrique
    Maloney-Michu-Bale-Hazard-Mata
    RvP-Berbatov

    Subs: Fabianski-Rafael-Clyne-Lambert

    Or should I try to avoid hits for defenders? I don’t think it’s worth making a transfer on the forwards with Berba against Reading at home as well as RvP chasing the 30 goals mark.

      tevez has 5 shots in box in last 6 weeks. Have a feeling he is over-returning last few weeks.

      Preference would be Aguero, then Defoe, then Tevez.

    Repost : (Thanks Zaar to your reply)

    Hi everyone !

    Need advice for my UCL fantasy team ! My Alaba, Boateng, Dante and Muller (c) punts worked pretty well last night 🙂

    But now i can’t field all my players…. So there is my option :

    A) Varane or Ramos ?

    B) Reus, Gotze, Ozil or Higuain (pick one who will stay on the bench 😀 ) ?

    Thanks

        Mourinho annouced his starting XI yesterday during his conference. And he announced Higuain up front

    Sir Alex is enthused by the current quality of his squad and in Phil Jones said, "arguably, the way he's looking, he could be our best ever player” http://bit.ly/11i7PQf.

    Will Jones will be "outstanding" for years to come?

        I think he can continue playing everywhere. I like him most as a CDM also on the right side in a diamond.

          Next season should see him ever present and at his best - wonder will he be classified as a def ?

            I think so, he was CDM at Blackburn too and still a defender, I dont think FPL will be bothered to change it unless he has 1 really good OOP season. Lets just hope he stays fit this time

      I think Jones looks a player in the making, however the best ever tag needs to be based on a position imo, certainly will not be their best ever player, in relation to all players he has managed.

      Total headache IMO - this is the one thing all season I could not master ,
      Early on it was Haza ( I had mata ) I then changed to Haza as mata became more prolific reverted back and the reverse happened and so on ...
      Hazard - Cheaper.

      Martin. Most likely to be in a low scoring game but Arsenal v United will have goals in it.
