First weekend not too bad, on the front page with 20 points.

What a crappy start! LOL I'll definately be in the bottom half. Is there a prize for finishing last, wooden spoon or even a b( . )( . )by prize? HEHE

Seasons kicked off.
14 points in the bag no injuries,hopefully it will get better.

There wasn't a booby prize last season. Last place was pretty much sewn up right from the start by a team called "Bloody B***b**ds" who were trying to get the lowest score possible

I don't like the new layout on the site at all, the old style was much better. Also, it seems to be much slower to update; for example, some of the bonus points have only just been added this afternoon. Still, I've got 42 points with three Man Citeh players, including my captain, to play this evening, so I can't complain too much

40 points could have been worse for my Blinking Sods just hope my decision to include Angel Rangel doesn't come back to bite me in the ass

LOL 42 points!!!!! I'll be lucky if I get to that after the next set of fixtures. I totally agree, the new look site isn't all that. What annoys me the most (apart from my lack of points, lol) is the players value. Charlie Adam for example, last season started off at £5 million, but this year his value starts off at a whopping £9 million!!!!!!!!! I know he's moved to Liverpool but he surely isn't worth a £4 million value increase!!! Was gonna say Good Luck to you but with your points I doubt you'll need it.

Its been a monumental cock up, to put it kindly. They tried to glam up the site this year and its resulted in a shambles. People were unable to login to the site between Friday evening and Saturday afternoon meaning that many were unable to finalise their team on Saturday morning.

Currently its not possible, and I'm not sure whether it will be possible, to view a breakdown of a player's points.

The scores in the league still aren't showing (although you can see a manager's points by clicking on them) and its also apparently possible to view what transfers your 'opponent's' have made.

At the moment, some of the scores are still incorrect - for example Jaaskelainen is currently showing as having scored 24 points.

The allocation of bonus points has also been changed this year and is linked to a different system, for which its being heavily critisised - no longer will players who simply play well or are influential receive bonus points. For example the players who received bonus points in the goalless Aston Villa Fulham game were Andy Johnson, Zamora and Agbonlahor, but not the Goalkeepers or Defenders who kept clean sheets.

happy with my start 41 points so far with 1 player still to play tonight

The fantasy football site has issued an apology.

Significantly, all participants can make unlimited transfers up until this Saturday's deadline.

To quote the site:

"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."

The league table has finally been updated after last night's game. There are still one or two glitches though, for example, when you click on subsequent pages the positions go back to 1st instead of 51st, 101st, etc. At this rate, they should have everything sorted by the end of the season
