seems to be another glitch in the matrix

captaincy deadline is 12pm Saturdays (for the next 7 days) so I thought make a Welsh player captain for last night (during the bye week) then change before 12 for someone else but looks like they only gave captains points to Welsh players who were captains in game round 2
so I didnt change captain (from Welsh players) to see if I get the points, could end up with no captain points or maybe the points for captains from 2 weeks ago

I changed my captain to Laidlaw but not sure if I got in before the deadline. MOTM and scored 8 from 9 kicks.

deadline is 12pm

know its first year of new system, under silent manager who used to do the Guinness and Heineken Cup fantasy games but it seems more about loopholes than picking right players
transfers allowed in game rounds
game rounds done by Saturday deadlines not game round deadlines
5 transfers kicked in after first 2 matches of first weekend (before Ireland Wales match)
captaincy loophole where Welsh (or French) captain for game round two got double points for Friday night game and then you could change before 12pm Saturday

player values were all over the shop and it made the budget system pointless
also 6 players per team is huge

serious first world problems

I'm currently second in the table (Wales). It's grand. Stop whinging! My own complaint is I can't identify who I'm better than (except for you).

Team names?

Mine's Harper's Hurricanes. Don't diss the loopholes Simon, I reckon they're the only reason I'm top! I had 20 players score points for me in the first game week!

Even if I knew about it them I'd still be making my changes 30 mins before kick off. Too much effort. But that suits the fantasy football crowd. Get them in keep them in every f%~king hour.
