I have just realised, I can almost put two different teams out, with the amount of players that I have got at my disposal!

It does not harm to have too many player and anyhow, You are doing ok.


Edit; Looking at your team I would add another defender, two if possible.

Season can you explain how the Schurrle - Giaccherini deal is allowed to go ahead?

I was under the assumption that Giaccherini would be released as soon as the last window shut.

No. Giaccherini's contract expires on the 13th, which is today. I have already contacted Yakutz about this as I still think it shouldn't have gone through as I see it as being today Giaccherini's contract had expired, but I think Yakutz was under the impression that today was the last day. Was just a bit of confusion as I originally thought it was Mondays the contracts expire, but you can clearly see on the site it says 13th for all those players.

Yeah I can see that but I had assumed you kept it as Sunday every week as just a rough guide as it's quite a lot of effort to plan ahead to see what day every transfer window finishes on.

If the contract dates are taken literally how come we're allowed to play players who play in a Monday match when their contracts had already expired on the Sunday (or midnight saturday)? I'm assuming you need to still have them on contract going into the start of the matchday?

Pretty sure Funk must have interpretted it the same as me, not sure why else he would have released Nasri on Friday if he could still make a deal over the weekend.

edit - I agree that the deal shouldn't be allowed to go through though. On a normal matchday where the last match is at 4pm on a Sunday you don't get from 6pm till midnight to make deals for any players who's contract expiration was that day. Harsh on Yakutz though as it's not clear at all how the contracts would work on international breaks.

Well I've already said previously that players whose contracts expire over the weekend can be chosen for that gameweek. The players are meant to be released today; I just want to make sure I have those involved's understanding on these things before I reverse them.

Fair enough, I didn't remember you mentioning anything about this before.

When you get a bit of time could you post the rules somewhere so we can have a look through please

Yeah. I do have plans to put the rules somewhere, but as you can imagine it might take a little while to collate it.

I will reverse the Giaccherini-Schurrle deal tonight when I get in and Giaccherini will become a free agent. Schurrle's contract will revert back to what it was previously.

Will you put Carlton Cole up on the transfer list page, as he has just signed for West Ham on a three month deal.

I'll try add him tomorrow. PM me if he's not on by 9 as I'll probably have forgotten.

Looking forward to tomorrow after another 2 week interuption. FIFA clearly don't think about Fantasy Football leagues when they organise these things.

No, let's get back to business!

Same procedure as usual. Squads in by midday please. Should be another great weekend of Football.

The goal targets have been slightly lowered.

Really don't know what tactics to play here. Can't see Fab's defence conceding many (if any) points, so playing defensive and hoping for a 0-0 seems sensible. On the other hand, I have a good attack which could take advantage of any slip ups. It's a dilemma!

Slip ups. From Fab?

Expecting a very tough week against the best attack so far this season. Especially if Negredo starts and Aguero doesn't. Possibility of Benteke still not being fit too. :/

You know what would really cheese me right off? If Torres started up front for Chelsea.

I think you should go for all out attack

I think this is the first time this season I've looked at the squad up against me and felt that I have no chance. It's possible that 3 of my 5 strikers won't play. Schurrle, Chadli and Nani haven't scored a point this season and this is probably the toughest opponents my defense has faced this season.

I seem to be playing the lesser known 4-2-4 formation (with added lower goal targets)
