FPL Issue Apology

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…

    Some players will go up 3 times for sure.

    will be v interesting to see if price rises / falls are disabled this week, else we could see some massive changes!

    unsure whether i think this was a good idea or not. probably slightly against it to be honest as gives those people who made bad team choices to start with a "clean slate" and the benefit of seeing exactly who played in GW1 - part of the skill is trying to work this out before the season starts without the benefit of seeing "competitive" lineups.

        Because they got an accumalitive total of 4 points between them, lmao.

        And because I didn't need them this week, I was going to take a 4 point hit for the later two anyways. And Enrique is just a downgrade from Agger so I have funds elsewhere.

    Besides, not many people are going to be aggrieved by this weeks scores anyway...

    Seems stupid to me, people who planned ahead have got screwed and all of the teams will look similar already.

    Should of just kept going as it was, if you weren’t happy with your team you could of wildcarded.

    Two wildcards last season was too much and now we have three? 😆
