There was a precedent set couple of seasons back, so it's likely.
You'd think after ditching the Ultimate game that they'd have extra servers available!

That season I seem to remember it went down pretty early be interesting to see what they do though. That year I planned for a long term team and felt I got punished with the free wc this year I have an early wc planned so it should help. The rush this week has been insane but as you say with the UFPL game gone there really is no excuse for not having the servers to handle it maybe the new site is a lot more server intensive than they expected.

There's an Official FPL twitter account this year guessing they are going to be getting a lot of abuse!

I know mine did for sure. As I had my team done last night and saved. Even took a screenshot after going back to the site last night to post elsewhere and didn't change anything.

Logged on just to glance at the team again and noticed it changed from Agüero a while later while reading FFS I seen some people say the same thing. Not sure how widespread it is.

I haven't been able to check my captain since you posted this, shítting it

If thats widespread then thats a huge joke!

Likewise. Had a last minute check at 10ish fingers crossed it is still the same!

May god have mercy on our souls!

I'm strangely calm just enjoying the last hour of not being frustrated by a game that lasts for about 10 months.

You're right there, already saw some tweets complaining about their joke of a website, don't seem to learn from their mistakes.

Hull have this god awful gif on their Twitter, but anyway Jaku & Diomande start.

The first reply to their last tweet sums up how a lot of people feel I think!

do people think there will be some action taken based on the crash ?

Don't see the point, we're all affected equally.

You're making a bigger deal out of it than needed. It literally went down 10 minutes before the close of the gameweek. 10 minutes is nothing and there shouldn't be any sort of free WC given.

Fant11 · 13-08-2016 11:48AM

Anyone logging into the app and not having any record of a team being there? Happening me last ten minutes. Just getting "pick team"

What are you talking about? It's been down since at least 10:30am.

Not every player had the time to set their team last night. I did, but I know a few very good players who are now f*cked because an error not of their own doing.

Can't see it but who knows what they will do its amazing what enough moaning on twitter can make happen these days.

SlickRic · 13-08-2016 11:51AM

Fúcking Musa.

I can sense him stealing a lot of Vardy's points.

Lads, it's a well known issue that the site is unstable the day when the season kicks off. if they are very good players, they should have 99% of their work done so they won't be fcuked over.

If they left it to 11am on the first day, I'd imagine they're not very good players.

Was working fine for me until 11.25

FPL have been pandering to the casuals for a while now tbf, extra wildcard, chips etc. Wouldn't surprise me if they did add a free WC.

Obviously hoping not.

Yep, saorry but I have very little sympathy fo anyone who is annoyed right now. If you haven't your team well sorted by 1030 this morning, you are gambling with your entire season.

Well one finished at 1113 last season but was at a wedding yesterday so didn't get a chance to change his team.

Not everybody is glued to their FPL team a week in advance of the deadline. I was but there are people who aren't.

It's FPL's fault, no one else's.

He's had weeks to do it, it's his fault. It's well known the site crashes at times of high volume. It's a free to play game.

Am I the only one who sees hull not doing too badly against Leicester? They'll shut up shop and it's the first week, enthusiasm will still be alive and well. Plus, I know they're champions but it's only Leicester. Bookies odds suggest what I'm saying as well, Leicester nearly evens for the win. Favourites obviously but not by a landslide.
