Fantasy Premier League 22/23

Game is no where near as fun as it used to be.
 
The app didn't work for me.

If they're not going to spend some money on improving the servers they should move the deadline even earlier. 2 or 3 hours before the early KO. Or make it KO itself and allow players to have the official early KO line up info and an hour to make their transfers.
 
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours but I think that Pep's got a sick sense of humour and when I die, I expect to find him laughing.

To be fair I’d imagine they must get hits within the tens of thousands, possibly million, all at once when these team news leak. Not many sites would be able to handle that except the big boys like YouTube. It’s basically like a DDOS attack.
 
The app was rubbish as well. Think I managed to get in Alvarez for Toney but not sure I managed to get him off the bench and captain him.
 
I managed to change captains on the app by spamming through Error 502 messages. Zero chance i could've got a transfer through.

Will be hilarious if Haaland starts now.
 
The game is rubbish.

Pope
Cancelo Trippier Neco
KDB (c) Zaha Martinelli Rashford
Wilson Jesus Haaland

Iverson Andreas Guehi Coufal

Good luck all.
 
The only hope now is the leak was wrong and Håaland plays.

Although I did vc Cancelo a few hours before.

But the plan was to do Foden to Rashford then Salah to KDB and captain him if Foden and Håaland did not play.
 
This is ridiculous

I always set my team to what will be acceptable if i did forget/a crash happens.
So reasonably decent lineup with Dunk 1st sub.

But captaincy on Nunez isn't ideal, even tried to put it to Rashy last doors.

But did try and switch Haaland and Zaha to Alvarez and KDB last min - but never mind.

Nonsense for the serves to break 15mins before isn't it. At least last week we had 3mins of time before it happened.

Just glad I hadn't put Foden in for Saka, would be mad curses!

I managed to only change captain. Ffs, imagine Haaland starts and scored his regular hat trick. :lol:
 
Forgot to check this thread ffs. Lucky I saw Wilson might be out with illness as I had Haaland captain and Wilson vice.

Sitting on Haaland captain and Almiron vice I believe.

Would love it, but these leaks always seem spot on.

I don't think they announced the bench though, so he could be on there?

Then they absolutely should move the deadline to 8.30 am every gw.

As I said before they’re gonna start losing players if this carries on, it’s utterly pathetic (I made my transfers last night btw).

And again, I wonder wtf Guardiola is doing with Foden, this is really odd now, I’d expect to start hearing leaks the coming week about it because unless injured, Foden must be fuming…

Unless with the World Cup coming up, he’s ASKED Guardiola to protect him…?
 
Missed the deadline for the first time this season. I have Haaland captained and Toney starting. It will take a miracle to stay in the top 100k after this. Gutted.
 
Why’s deadline 1.5 hours beforehand now?

In theory to combat leaks. But it doesn't work.

They should do what most similar games do and have the deadline at kick off. That way everyone knows the opening team sheets.

But that would require them to invest into their site so it doesn't collapse when everyone logs in within the same hour, which they're clearly unwilling to do.
 
Isn't it normally 11am for a 12:30pm kickoff?

This place always cracks me up.
You have the absolute obsessives crawling through leaks, and then you still have the "what time's deadline", "what's a wildcard", "can i use 2 chips together" casuals :lol:
 
They need to sort out this deadline nonsense. Most other fantasy games have a deadline when the first game starts. Just do that for FPL too. Eliminate this idiotic leaks aspect.

In which case they should change the deadline like I suggested.
Why’s deadline 1.5 hours beforehand now?
It used to be an hour but they added 30mins on to try and stop leaks, which in turn crash the website like today. That's why I was suggesting add more time on, or KO itself so transfers are spread out over an hour so presumably less likely to crash the site.

Either that, or midnight the night/morning before the first game.
 
FPL is growing every year, there's millions more players and they should invest in the website accordingly.
 
I just installed the FPL app and did it from there.
I have the app. Didn't work.

Yeah I have a team setup but couldn't make my planned transfer of Saka or Foden to Rashy.
 
It's not like the PL are short on money either and I would bet they make money out of fpl somehow.
 
Oh but my rival managed to make his transfer with 30 second to go. If course he did ffs

I’m confused as to how the deadline change stops the leaks. Wouldn’t the leaks just come out sooner instead? As far as I know, the starting lineup is normally known the night before.
 
Pope (Ward)
Cancelo-Neco-Trippier-Dalot (Guehi)
Martinelli-Rashford-KDB(c) (Andreas-Baily)
Haaland(vc)-Wilson-Solanke

Will most probably drop some places this round, good luck to everybody.
How? You've got the best captain choice this week, even if Håaland is out I don't think it's worth transferring him out given his next fixture.

Not with KDB Captian,
I have resigned myself to a 100k+ red arrow
