I support eldee's position in the premier league going ahead and with scoring starting for the h2h league from game week 2. Nevertheless if there is still complaint then let it go on as it is so someone does not remind the champion of this event when he or she eventually wins the league.

I will shame some people o!

All those shouting for a non-restart of the league because they chop some cheap points I will come here and remind you if those points no gree you win the league!

Mukina I dey look you among them as well.

By the way the site is still messing up, even now.

eldee:
For the Premier League, we continue as it was before. Restarting it here will be unfair to people who spent the whole week planning for the the first game of the season.

Everybody "spent the whole week planning for the the first game of the season". . . Not restarting it would be unfairer to people that planned BEYOND the first GW!!!! The top-scoring team had two Bolton players(25 points!) cos they played QPR, forgetting they play United, Arsenal, Chelsea, City & Pool in their next six games. Now he can just reset his team

We were all affected by the defect, but the effect is not that disruptive to the whole process.
A 30 point lead in August is nothing.

The gap between top and bottom could be over 50 points by the time they award bonus points today. How many points decided the league last year?

I hope this attempt at a compromise works for most people.

Only one way to find out, put up a poll, make we vote!

Otherwise i'm distributing the codes to all those Egyptian dudes!

Please reset reset reset. Na random players with only small input from me. I no wan make the same mistake again. 3 of my players are injured and i want a better deal. Oga moderator, make we reset. Let me choose my players again (though my points tally was not bad at all).

The FPL put the free wildcard bruv, I don't get to decide on that. Read the link properly.

‪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.

So whether we restart or league or not, we get the wildcard.

And the whole talk about fairness is seen in the fact that even Lighthouse FC was affected by this too.
He had an Everton player and a Tottenham player in his starting line-up last night..

Four of the Top Five teams had players that had been declared out of contention since Tuesday. . . this proves that the flaw by the FPL did not give anyone a clear advantage.
Also four of the five bottom teams had no Everton or Tottenham players too.

If fairness is in the equality, then your claim to unfairness is near non-existent with the numbers there in the table.

So oga eldee, what is the way forward? We should just continue?

You get unlimited transfers till Saturday . . . you don't get charged any points for that.
If you want you can change the whole team and start again, it's free.

Oga is your brain on leave?

I never said you decide the free wildcard, i said the free wildcard makes a mockery of those who planned ahead(i.e I saved 1M in the bank). I would have had the likes of Dzeko and Cahill in my team if i knew i can easily transfer them out when Aguero/Tevez are fit/Bolton's fixtures heat up. People who went short-termish now have a massive advantage.

And the whole talk about fairness is seen in the fact that even Lighthouse FC was affected by this too.
He had an Everton player and a Tottenham player in his starting line-up last night,

He also had Cahill and Klasnic! Players who had a good GW1 fixture and scored big but now face a daunting run of opponents.

Also one example(or a handful) doesn't justify anything, Lighthouse still fielded 11 players, what about teams that had only 9 players and are now lounging at the foot o the league? As they say, a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link.

Four of the Top Five teams had players that had been declared out of contention since Tuesday. . . this proves that the flaw by the FPL did not give anyone a clear advantage.

It doesn't prove anything. . . If those teams were lucky to have replacements on the bench, it doesn't mean everyone did.

If fairness is in the equality, then your claim to unfairness is near non-existent with the numbers there in the table.

It's very simple:

A. It's VERY UNFAIR people(i.e Vieira) who waited to get the latest team news before finalizing their team ended up with rubbish teams/scores because they couldn't log in.

B. It's VERY UNFAIR people who planned ahead, maybe saved money in the bank(i.e me) at the expense of our GW1 score don't get rewarded while people who had Dzeko, Bosingwa etc can transfer them out for free now that Aguero/Tevez, Ivanovic etc are about to relegate them to the bench.

These two factors clearly outweigh the 42 points Chamo has been raving about

Eldee, Why dont we have a poll? Resetting both the League and H2H in GW2 ? , I'll defintely tick YES for both

Vieira:

I will shame some people o!

All those shouting for a non-restart of the league because they chop some cheap points I will come here and remind you if those points no gree you win the league!

Mukina I dey look you among them as well.

i nor do nothing na, the FPl was always open who say make people wait till deadline to go redo team? the site was in the early hours of saturday morning, i was there i checked my team and i logged out.

Its just pure fun the way, ibime,hell kitchen and co they go on about it like they will win a prize for it

ritchboy:

Otherwise i'm distributing the codes to all those Egyptian dudes!

i found their site . .when do we start?

feasy1:

Eldee wan dey try form PDP for here. . . Either we vote or I create a new league from GW2

ritchboy:

Eldee wan dey try form PDP for here. . . Either we vote or I create a new league from GW2

still trying to remember how we ended up with eldee being the chairman of the FPL

was there a convention that i missed out on?

it should be rotational. or it simply should be left with the original starter . .Oga V

Ibime sef na mass failure

it pays to check the league before una start to run amok here.

Most of you had more points than Chamo and i , and its funny that we are the only ones advocating for the league to run its course. c'mon guys its for fun

I wont lie, this particular last page got me laffiing, check out galacticos and borat

Eldee don't change anything - if you lost points, you have an unmissable opportunity to rejig your entire squad for GW2 - that's like being given an extra wildcard and should be sufficient.

All this initial gra-gra doesn't change much - there will always be occasional one-game blips and some peeps will get points because of that.

I lost points as well, so I'm not saying this because it benefited me - let's just carry on with the games as normal.

If there is going to be any resetting, you have to reset both to create an even playing field - none of this reset one, leave the other business.

After all the misyarns by Reeama Reeama, na only 41 points she chop. Nonsense!

BTW, as for that maga Seniora Debosky dissing me for including Jones in ma team, what more can you say about a ninja with Milijas and Salcido in his team? He must have missed the memo. At least I know why I included Jones, reason being that McCarthy was almost certain to miss the game through injury if not for a miracle recovery.

As I said, there are extremes on both sides. . . so I do apologise to the extreme cases like Viera's. At the end of the day, the EPL recognised their error and gave everyone a free wildcard.
This means that everyone played on pure luck in Gameweek 1.

Now to your own specific case, I should restart the league because you planned ahead? How does that even make sense??
So you want special treatment just because you planned ahead and teams like Davidylan were just lucky?

mumu
i was only advocating for the league to stay the same, i dunno what you get from it but for me its purely fun.
it wont be fair on the ones who took out time and prepared well ahead before gW1, so others didnt do up their teams in time, afterall the FPl guys gave them good consolation, the kind you go like yeye.

eldee should just leave this thing abeg

not yet, captain toure plays today.

but i am still to get a full grip on the point scoring. does it include that of the subs?
I am a rookie in this thing, but is willing to learn even if it mean being white washed

erm erm
seems people take this thing far more seriously than i envisaged.

Lighthouse f.c. is a new comer nah- a full blooded greenhorn.

You can at least manage dash me this points this week. at least as some people have commented, putting 2 bolton players is being short sighted.
make una pity me nah. . to make it worse I put an everton and totenham player there too.

but it is sure good to be on top even if its for one week

remember last season when lots of team postponed their matches and some people scored 5?
why was the league not restarted then?

EXACTLY!!!

No, you should restart the league because my planning ahead has been rubbished by "technical difficulties".

So you want special treatment just because you planned ahead and teams like Davidylan were just lucky?

Which special treatment? Do you even know what the term means

Resetting the league means everyone can start on a level playing field, not with 30-50 point UNFAIR advantage. Or are you denying it's not an unfair advantage? How is this even debatable

I see you also had a decent score so i'm not even bothered debating with you again, restart the league or prepare for rebellion!

Superior Maga of Ipukulu heritage sharrap!

What is wrong with having Milijas and Salcido in my team? Weren’t they on the bench? Some ninjas like spewing hokum and megedefegede all over the place - Salcido is a defender and Fulham got a clean sheet, Milijas played for Wolves and they won - that means that if they featured they would likely have copped good points.


The fact is that all my defenders and GK all copped near maximum points - the forward players messed up and you can’t legislate for that on day one with numerous 0-0 draws.

Eldee
In all seriousness I think we should start the scoring from gameweek 2 because at the end of the day if lighthouse or davidylan pass me with 30 points I will make claim that their 'luck' gave them the edge over me. My players were injured and I could not log in to change them and that makes the game no longer fair, if their games were postponed at least I fit hope to chop the point someday but you have to really think about this again.
The wildcards were given to everyone not just those that had a bad day so in addition to having 'luck' they have the wild card and that's not fair at all in my opinion. Let us take a vote at the very least people. I had four injured players and I could not change them, its the not being able to change them that was the wahala. Abeg this thing with luck does not fly well. I say we vote, for you to remain unbiased since you are a player in the game too.
I rest my case but don't say I did not warn when dudubabs will claim GW1 gave you the advantage to win the league oh.

hell's kitchen
why didnt you ask for the league to be started when most of us scored badly on a certain gw when most matches got canceled?

you guys are turning this thing into something else, long ago it used to be for fun . .now i don't know again

ritchboy:

No, you should restart the league because my planning ahead has been rubbished by "technical difficulties".

And the technical difficulties affected everyone, the FPL recognised this and gave you an extra chance to plan ahead. . . again.
Maybe you didn't get it, your planning ahead means fuckall to me . . . it's not more important than anyone else' gamble.

I suggested the reset thing before you did so STFU.

Who got the unfair advantage? Me? Lighthouse? I really don't get this. . . because the complaint before was that people missed out on last minute changes, especially to Everton and Tottenham players (a game that had been cancelled since Tuesday).
Now it's slowly moving to, 'I planned ahead' . . . others didn't, and you say that's not asking for special treatment?


So when winter forces games to be cancelled, I'll have to restart the league again for a 'level playing field'? Guy, go call your Naeto-C forces maynne, I go Ghaddafi all of una.

eldee:

Wrong, it didn't affect everyone. And the people it did affect it affected to different degrees. Everyone got unlimited transfers, both the un/slightly-affected and the majorly-affected, so that is no consolation. Anyone with a functional cerebrum should be able to decipher this, it's embarrassing that i have to repeat it over and over.

Maybe you didn't get it, your planning ahead means fuckall to me . . . it's not more important than anyone else' gamble.

Just like your 50 points means fuckall to me. It's not more important than other peoples strategies, but unlike other strategies it has been shot down by the unlimited transfers.

I suggested the reset thing before you did so STFU.

Mugu, i knew about it before anyone else so go sniff a skunk's arse! In fact if i didn't share it most people wouldn't even know about it right now cos they didn't send any notification.

Who got the unfair advantage? Me? Lighthouse? I really don't get this. . . because the complaint before was that people missed out on last minute changes, especially to Everton and Tottenham players (a game that had been cancelled since Tuesday).

My friend go back and read again, MY major gripe has always been people with Dzeko, Cahill, Bosingwa etc getting free transfers and the 1M i saved counting for shyte.

You're saying it's not unfair that Vieira couldn't log in and ended up with three Everton players

So when winter forces games to be cancelled, I'll have to restart the league again for a 'level playing field'? Guy, go call your Naeto-C forces

Apples vs oranges. A game getting cancelled is no different than the player(s) you have in the team getting injured. How you have tried to equate that with people being unable to change their teams for the very first GW and the ramifications  of giving everyone unlimited transfers for the second must be the eight wonder of the world.

maynne, I go Ghaddafi all of una.

If you like no reset am, it's only going to make you look like an even bigger chump when i'm 200 points ahead of you
