Gameweek 15 - Transfer Thread

Was refreshing every 10-15 seconds for the last 12 minutes and nada.

May have got on for a brief second and tried to change captain from Haaland to KDB. No idea if it went through.

whoever is responsible for running the game should have got the boot years ago.

It’s a shambles from top to bottom.

Did you smash it

FPL site never use to crash before the vaccine #justsayin

shmeee

I've done Foden to Rashford and Mitro to Alvarez (c) for -4. But both could be on bench.

No idea if went through, or no idea order of team and bench either!

Absolute disaster.

Bring deadline back to 3 hours to hell and save us all this hardship with leaks.

Haaland has broken the game literally non stop this season.

That's a shocker....it's not like there isn't enough money sloshing around the EPL generally that they could throw a few grand at FPL to upgrade a server.

Not sure if my transfers went through and/or who my captain and vice captain are

2 weeks in a row the site has crashed just before the deadline.

I know it's a free game and all that but still. Not good enough.

If I go out of my LMS leagues because of this, well, I'll probably tut very loudly indeed.

I got in at 13:29 and made 2 transfers. The site never refreshed as normal to confirm they went through so I've no idea if they did or not.

Doubt they did.

It's an absolute shambles and they then posted on Twitter at 13:30 asking folks who they captained. Completely tone deaf.

Everyone message them on twitternon stop. We might get somewhere.

So annoying that it crashes on big news like this. You would think their servers would have capacity for surges like this.

You missed the great crash of a few years ago so, where we all got free wildcards because it crashed hard on the last day 😂

Throw them a few quid for more servers Andy

The deadline should work like the NFL game. Your player only gets locked in once their game kicks off. There is no need for a single cut off point like at present.

FPL official Twitter account is like a troll.

Posting at 1:13 "do you think he will start?" lol.

They just posted that deadline passed in case you wanted to make a change.

The ‘community’ have defended them and have let them off the hook for years.

If the ‘content creators’ had any balls at all they would constantly destroy them but they are all spineless and just happy someone has downloaded their podcast.

It’s borderline unbelievable how badly they run it.

shmeee

FPL rockstar, mitro needs a rest. Let the fun begin....

Wasn't planning on a few pints today but my god, if my team is not what I taught I saved it as, I may tuck into a few!

extra gravy

Rumours Mitro isn't starting either.

Father Hernandez

I actually couldn't be arsed with it tbh.

The deadline is there for a reason, if you can't make transfers at 13:29, then what's the point.

I get there are server difficulties but these aren't one offs, they're every week.

Free game and everything but it's a shambles.

Mr Crispy

Highly irritating. Takes the enjoyment out of it.

Not even in squad

Wrong thread

Can't say I'm in favour of the leaks and last minute rush for transfers. Thought moving it to 90mns before would help, but looks like FPL are just gonna have to go earlier again if this continues. Hard to have sympathy for anyone missing out on a transfer when they're waiting to try to gain an advantage through a leak.

The deadline is 1.30pm for a reason, you have until that time to make moves. I was one who waited for leaks because it's a potential advantage, not cheating. Everyone else has access to it if they know where to look, it's hardly in paid or secret groups.

If they say the deadline is 1.30pm, then we should all have until that time to make changes, to tinker, etc. Those who are making changes early for whatever reason are actually the ones gaining an advantage cause the site/app isn't fit for purpose!

I'd be in favour of making the deadline at KO like Sky fantasy have it. How they manage it with their servers is their issue. Site crashing before a deadline is absolutely tinpot for an incredibly rich company.

Yeah but after last weeks server issue, everyone had the warning. It was a gamble to play for the leaks (in case server crashed), it was a gamble to make early transfers (in case Foden/Haaland benched).

Sounds like people lost whatever way they went

bantee

In fairness leaks have been there for years, its just the traffic has increased significantly in the game, you'd still expect the server not to calve 20 minutes before the deadline.
