Doesn't take that long to change your team. Just pick the players that are playing that day. Or even use the calander to select your team in advance.

Yes, I missed the first 3 days for the competition as I was away and a couple of days inbetween where I just forgot. It is a bit easier to make up ground now though as there are less matches (less to forget). It also becomes a bit easier now as more players become useless. But it is almost impossible for those of us below the top 10 to challenge now. I suppose I should have read the rules and taken a bit of care with my selection. I am amazed sometimes when I see a midfielder or defender has only scored 1 point for a game when he was quite active in the match. I didnt take this into account when picking my team and thats where I suffered most.

 

[aussie1st]

Thats one of my mistakes. I thought you needed to pick a whole 11 but clearly you don't have to. Also defenders are basically crap in fantasy but I thought they would make lots of tackles. Of course I hardly watch football so I don't see how many fouls and tackles are made.

 

[Kev]

Yes, I didnt read the rules, I thought they would have sorted this out.
If you look at the top teams they all picked only 1 GK and a hand full of defenders but are mostly strikers. Early fantasy football competitions suffered from this basic problem where it was only really strikers and attacking midfielders scored points but most decent fantasy competitions figured this out after the first time they were run and tweaked the rules so a more balanced team was required.

 

[sid_19840]

I made some of the same mistakes,I thought that once I picked my initial team all the point and lineup handling would be done by them.I came to know of these changes only after the first round of matches ended and Ive been playing catch up since then.

Lol nope Bad pick on the midfielder made too many fouls. Plus made him captain.

 

[aitzaz]

Your midfeild bomb? or tackle machine? which name did u gave him? I told ya defenders and defending midfeilder do a lot of fouls! more over u wasted u transfer

 

[dhruvagupta]

i had got just 2 players playing yesterday totti and buffon gave me 18 and 8 respectivly,2day got 7 playing kaka ronaldo ronaldinho,gallas henry,raul pyuol

 

[aussie1st]

I've got the same amount but should have 8 but can't put another forward in.

Aitzaz tells me a bench player can score points so I guess I can test that theory out.
