Signed up, but I had to submit through facebook to get it to work.

Delete your browser cache and try again. That sorted it for me.

That worked, cheers

Had an absolute stinker last week, needed to make a lot of changes.

i had no problem making 3 changes, only 2 free transfers a week is a bit weak considering the nature of the game.

And you can't select subs either. Makes it particularly hard at this time of the year when a lot of the international players aren't back.

joshrogan

Transfers are quite cheap at 2 points so they're essentially free as long as the bloke you bring in doesn't get a card.

Akrasia

Thanks Seymour, I owe you a pint!

just as well, heaps of changes this week, made the 2 allowed plus another and have a few guys on the bench this week. If Aki, Healy and Bealham start for connacht that would help a lot.

Cathalthesmart

First week trying this!

They badly need to integrate the announced lineups into the fantasy app. It's a pain having to check lineups (all on different pages) to see if your players are starting.

Ultimate rugby open in one tab and the pro 12 transfers in the other. The joys

Is it something like this you want Thomond?

I didn't know this existed, thanks!

joshrogan

is the points and overall position above your team the game week score? It's always different to the score on the right for overall.

Akrasia

So what happens now that the Connacht game was called off?

joshrogan

hopefully we get to keep the points for part appearance atleast, had 4 players playing in that game.

Kevski

The system seems to be quite buggy when updating points. Nacewa currently only has 3 points for Friday's game, even though he made a full appearance, scored a try and kicked 4 conversions.

Completely forgot about this. Doing well so far

Akrasia

I didn't get a chance to update my team because I was busy on friday.

It's just as well, I'd probably only have ballsed it up.

I'm well happy with 80 points this round.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO

68 this week, pretty poor, would have been even worse if not for VDF, 20something points alone.

Useful link for this weekend!

None of my Glasgow players are playing this week!! A bunch of the others are only on the bench. Here's hoping for another Sexton/VDF master class.

It's really annoying not being able to have a few subs so you can make changes to your team without making transfers.

This is the first week I haven't been docked points for going over the 2 changes, don't want to be using the wild card this early in the season.

i had to use wildcard, 11 changes. loaded up on solid performing non international level players in part.

Akrasia

Fekin Glasgow decide to change their entire team plus a few other injuries means I have to make 7 changes this week and a 10 point penalty.

I hope Zebre kick Glasgow's ass

joshrogan

I've only had to take 1 hit this week chuffed.

joshrogan

anyone elses isa nacewa points not been added yet? they have him as having not played and in their scores for the games they don't have him listed as a try scorer at all.

I have forgotten my password and the reset emails aren't coming through.

ive given up. 7-8 changes every week, kinda pointless

TICKLE_ME_ELMO

Completely forgot it was back this weekend. Not sure I can be bothered anymore

The rotation in lineups in the Pro12 really doesn't lend itself to a Fantasy format. It really only works for competitions where the majority of lineups remain constant over the year. I'm glad they are trying something however.

connemara man

Allow for more transfers i think I've had an average of 6 per game and substitutes allow for last minute withdrawals etc

They need to let you pick a bigger squad. Having a squad of 23, for example, would allow you to make changes for a match day without having to make transfers.
