Oh, bloody hell.
'Arry? I expect some major spendings for the Cores then..btw that's Allem's iPhone, isn't it?
Good week, all defenders and keeper had clean sheets.
As a liverpool fan I am glad van purse strings was quiet

Fellaini to united should up his value a touch as well.

Right chaps - we have a bit of a break for the international fixtures, meaning that our next deadline is 11:30 am GMT on 14 September.
However, don't forget that a lot of transfers are going through at the moment as the transfer window comes to a close. Once the dust settles I recommend that you check your teams - it may be possible that player moves mean that some of your stars are no longer playing in the Premier League or that you're over the 'three players from a single team' limit, meaning that you may have to make some adjustments.

Yeah, well, F#*** me!
Am I the only one who thought that you could make your transfers and after that still decide to wildcard and get your hits erased? Seems like I'll get about -36 hits then.
Talkin' about wasting a whole season in one second! That **** is *****'ed up!
Didn't even bring Özil in at this point!
edit: Ok, must have been the coffee. When I keep on transferring and play my wildcard then, the previous hits / numbers of transfers will be erased / affected as well, right?
Jaffa, I hope you don't mind me asking 'Arry for your number? Because that's an emergency right here - can't concentrate at work right now, dammit.

Rules state
"Do all transfers have to be made at the same time when using my wildcard?
No. Once you have played your wildcard, any transfers you make within that Gameweek are free, including any you made before playing your wildcard, up until the next deadline."
From the FPL rules page...

No. Once you have played your wildcard, any transfers you make within that Gameweek are free, including any you made before playing your wildcard, up until the next deadline.
EDIT: Yep, as danielowenuk just posted.
So it looks like you should be fine, twietee - although it may be prudent to wait until the internationals are played before committing to any changes, in case anyone gets injured whilst away with their countries.

thx, was just shocked when I found out this morning that I couldn't push the wildcard button. Have to transfer some more then. "Get up ya lazy asses.."
oh Jaffa, I've committed myself to many changes already - desperately hoping to make a buck or two. That made me even more depressed this morning since I have all these random folks sitting in my locker room waiting to be hustled...poor lads.

That's because it's already been played so is no longer available - but it's active until the next deadline, so you should be able to make further changes without penalty up until 14 September.thx, was just shocked when I found out this morning that I couldn't push the wildcard button.

I would guess that on your transfers page it should say 'unlimited' or something like that where it lists the number of free transfers you're permitted this Gameweek - I can't check without playing my own, unfortunately.

No, that's the thing: I didn't play it yesterday. Made a thousand transfers, confirmed them and called it a night, thinking I can just play the WC during the next week(s) and be fine. This morning I noticed, that, while still available, I can't press the WC button for some reason, giving me the shock of my life. I'm on 9 transfers this GW alone..lol...and, like I said, didn't even bring in the peÖple I really want. Seemed like an epic fail first..gee, I'm a train wreck I guess. Good to have some holidays coming....
Here's something to try - have a go at making another change or two to your team. Once you swap out a player or two, the 'Play Wildcard' option should become clickable.
The Wildcard option only becomes available when transfers start costing you points - as you've basically agreed to accept the points loss from your earlier changes (this loss should be cancelled when the wildcard is played, of course) I'm guessing you have to make some further changes to reactivate the option.

Happy to entertain you people! But no, I'm a hustler, baby.
If twietee brings in Peter 'Crouchy' Crouch as part of his Wildcard transfer spree, we've got him rumbled.Harry 'twietee' Redknapp
OMG, International breaks stink for Fantasy Football! Two weeks is too long to wait to field a squad. We've got to figure out how to add Fantasy World Cup Qualifier Football, Fantasy Champions League Football, and any other Fantasy Football league that will sustain thru the week and breaks.
Fret not, Tilpots! We're back in action tomorrow!
Gameweek 3 seems such a long time ago, let's have a recap of how the Cup fixtures turned out...
...and here's how things look as we head into Gameweek 4.
The deadline for your transfers and line up changes is 11.30am GMT tomorrow morning, the 14th September.
And as we're approaching the first Gameweek of September, we can take a look back at August and dish out the first MacRumors Manager of the Month award of the season and with a splendid tally of 203 points for the month the plaudits go to Omaha Latics gaffer swiftaw.
Congratulations to swiftaw and here's the full League table.

this really lost some steam during the international break,
Also a bit gutted that Özil was flagged the last day of my WC and I went without him for the time being. Michu and Coutinho have a nice dogfight today, though - winner will keep his spot in the squad, loser sees Mesut's boots.
Anyway, ready to take over now, Tilpots.

Great week twietee! Well, maybe not great. Great would've put you in first place. And I guess that didn't happen, so...
The Stoplights need some work. I've got treasure and 2 transfers this week. Gotta make something happen. Teams been stagnant.
You stick to Soldado?
Agreed upon your squad needing some proper treatment.
--
Btw, there is an awesome game in the making but needs two more players, so if anyone of you lot would like to participate: you're more than welcome.
Oh, and don't worry about the rules, we figure it out while playing
