TBH, all of the changes suck. The one you knew and loved from the Euros was also the format that is used each year for the Premier League. I don't know why this time they've gone for a different format with fixed formations, extra subs, etc.

The last time I did fantasy was the '06 World Cup and IIRC you could change up your XI every single day. It was better because you would have some motivation to choose a balanced roster and honestly it took up a little more of my time -which is the whole point of fantasy sports. OHHH Well. I'm still really excited for matches to start. I've basically got my XI picked but, lemme ask you guys: Pirlo or Eden Hazard? Both midfielders. Both 8 points. Both pretty solid. I'm torn.

Team registered and probably forgotten about in two days time. Not posting an image of my super kickin' radical team because It's mostly Brazilians, Argentinians, a few choice Europeans and a bench full of Iranian/Algerian scrubs. Shocking.

The fact the lineup doesnt show which team each player is Vs is really annoying.

It was better because you would have some motivation to choose a balanced roster and honestly it took up a little more of my time -which is the whole point of fantasy sports. E.g. Formation is 4-5-1 (. = empty) code:
code:
The rather ridiculous implication of this, is this example: You set a 4-5-1 formation. You're half way through the game "phase" (or round or whatever). One of your midfielders has got 30 points. All your other midfielders have played, but did poo poo and got like 1 point between them. The midfielders on the bench are poo poo, but you have two awesome strikers on the bench who have yet to play. Therefore, you want to switch to 4-3-3 to get these strikers on in place of the midfielders who were poo poo. Now, if you had been unlucky enough to place your 30 pointer on the right hand side (left wing) or the next position in, this would be impossible without him being subbed off automatically. But, if you had been lucky, and he was in one of the other midfield slots, you'd be fine. It's impossible to move them from one position on the pitch to another without going via the sub bench. I hope this makes sense? PS - Neymar captain - hell yeah! Ewan fucked around with this message at 01:13 on Jun 13, 2014 |

So Neymar got 14 points after saving Brazils opening game and Ramos got 9 points after being demolished. Great stuff.

Neymar as captain and three Columbians (Guiterrez got a goal, Armero got a goal and a clean sheet, and Aguilas got an assist). De Rossi also got a few points and even my keeper who plays for Ivory Coast got 5. Also got a bunch of decent players who haven't played so lookin' good!

I'm enjoying the way they're adding features to the site as the game goes on. What a mess. There was a period yesterday where every time you subbed a player a messagebox would pop up saying "XXX". Also, Neymar/Muller/Benzema forward line

Problems: The timer on the transfer page says the window opens in 9 days, when the rules page says tomorrow. Muller is my captain but is currently not receiving double points. I have joined the TRP league several times, but it doesn't register on my profile. The TRP league list consists of the same page of people rearranged over three pages. Above noted issues of substitutions. Technical flaw: Transfer values don't change, so everyone is going to end up with the same team. What is the point of having such a big squad when everyone has filled their benches with Iranians?

My league seems to just shows leagues that you have created. No, I don't know why that is and it's stupid. Points updates seem really shakey and I presume they're going to do a big update before closing time on this round. I have jordi alba in who hasn't lost any points for conceding goals even though he should have.

Yeah, it's a pretty stupid site. I wanted to see my ranking in the Parmos league, but it's just a list of players. Spread out over 3 pages, each numbered 1-20. Weird.

Most of the issues with the site appear to have now been fixed although it's still not displaying points in each league yet.

By the way, due to the weird order of the games, we are now in simultaneous Phase 1 and Phase 2 (Bra-Mex counts as the first phase 2 game despite RUS-ROK tonight. If you go to "my team" you can click the link at the top to change between the two and change your phase 2 squad while also keeping your phase 1 squad.
