Can I have the code? I have a team set up, only seen this thread today.
The Real Caftards Fantasy League 2011/12

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
From what I can tell, it says "your team will be deducted x points", but it doesnt appear to take them off straight away atleast. Wont find out until later in the week I suppose.
3 days have passed now since the season started and the leagues haven't been updated once
I take it from the wording then that we can make whatever changes we want now without having points deducted.
Thinking of making these changes
In vs Out
Vorm - Schwarzer
Simpson - Alex
Woodgate - Givet
Jarvis - N'Zogbia
Reo Coker - Downing
Aguero - Rodallega
Suarez - DJ Campbell
Thoughts?

Would somebody send me the code as well?
Before last season I registered my team before I knew there was a league but was let in. Was in this season but now the league is gone so I guess I've been kicked out because of my name that I couldn't change?
When are you planning on making the changes?
I ended up with 62 points. Not a bad start considering Rafael was out injured and Howard didn't play.
Anyone who registers without using their Caf username in their team or manager name will be deleted - you can change your Team Name at any time so there is no excuse.
I have sent out a few more codes, will be closing the league to new entries in the next few days.
Vorm had an impressive game last night, don't get me wrong, but if he kept that up all season I'd be surprised. Putting him in over the tried and trusted Schwarzer after one game is a tad knee-jerk.
Alex won't play as often as Simpson, IMO, but when he does play I presume he'll keep more clean sheets. Your call there, steady appearance points or infrequent CS points.
I thought about putting Woodgate in but then it's almost guaranteed that in the future it's going to cost a transfer to take him back out when he gets injured!
I have both in my team so I rate both.
Not sure of pricing but I can see Downing getting a fair few assists this season. Reo-Coker's a bit of an unknown quality. He might even get played more defensively alongside Muamba this season.
Again, one game. I'd risk not getting any points from Aguero's next game before taking a huge financial hit for him. Without being unfair, he did it against Swansea in his first game. It's not like he's going to be that poorly marked for the other 37 games!
Suarez would be a good bet but then again, I can see DJ Campbell getting most of the goals for QPR. Suarez is obviously a better player but for FF is he actually going to get more points?
Phillip, same! If only I'd not derped up quite as bad with my sub orders I'd be one point ahead of you. Overall, I'm happy with that though. Not a bad week considering some of my main players didn't get involved.
Before gameweek 2. They've announced we have unlimited free transfers before then. If you've already been deducted points for transfers they said they'd give them back.
The downgrades of Schwarzer and Alex was simply to generate enough cash to get Aguero and Suarez in. The way i see it, is i'd be replacing downing and n'zogbia for aguero and suarez as they are the more expensive players if you will, and replacing rodallega and campbell with reo coker and jarvis. I know it was only Swansea but i can see Aguero grabbing a bucketload this season.
Where did you see this, I can't find it...
I've made my transfer for this week & its saying any more will cost 4pts each...
The tables still aren't right btw. I've got 53 points but it shows up as 51
Forget the tables - Im starting the Real Caftard league from GW2 - so everyone is equal again and shit starts for real this weekend.
Says I've got 63 points but when I go to the Real Caftards league I've got 62.
Have gotten rid of Vidic and Ba to bring in Ward and Klasnic, now have 4m to play around with.
So can we make as many changes as we want from now? Mine still says it will deduct 4 points.
Whats the table on the first page and whats the table on the next page?
Oh goddammit. After being shit all last year, I start this year with a 70-point week and it doesn't count.
It says it will deduct 4 points for each transfer but then give them back to you at midnight tonight.
Did I mention it was a shambles?
Anyway, you're in a bit of a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situation, so you have my full support, even though I had no need to do a single transfer meself.
So we won't be deducted any points if we make transfers tomorrow? Do we have to make the transfers today itself for the points to be given back to us tomorrow?
Used the free wild card to completely re-work my team and going for a 4-5-1 - no value in the market for forwards.
Have a look at the transfer page. It says you can make unlimited transfer til 20 Aug at 11.30.
I just made a bunch of transfer and it didn't cost me any points. If I want to change any of them I believe I can change them without any cost until the deadline.
Why is it like that? It should only be unlimited transfers until the first week.
Managed to get myself an Aguero-RVP-Rooney frontline. Bring on the points barrage.
Just to clarify, it is the same as gameweek 1 in the unlimited transfer terms, and not just like an extra wildcard where you only "confirm" once?
Because the whole thing crashed on Friday night / Sat morning and loads of people weren't able to get their teams sorted in time for the deadline.
Lots of folk had loads of changes left to do and doing it 1 per week would have taken an age or at least cost 4 points per transfer.
It will appear that the changes are costing 4 points but the points should be given back to you at the end of today.
What's your midfield and defence like?
I think I'm in his defence.
Haven't made too many changes to my side in the weekend other than shipping out Vidic for Zat Knight, Kyle Walker for Jack Robinson (young lad at Liverpool) and Kevin Doyle for Aguero
My current starting 11 reads as
.........................................Begovic............................
Jose Enrique........Kompany.........Shawcross.......Zat Knight
....................Sinclair..........Brunt.............Nani................
Aguero..............................RVP..........................Rooney
Subs: Tiote, Nathan Dyer, Robinson, Al Habsi
Fairly happy with it, bring it on
.........................................Al Habsi. ..........................
Jose Enrique........Kompany.........Woodgate.......Wes Brown
....................Silva..........Jarvis...... ......Nani................
Aguero..........................Suarez........... ...............Rooney
subs: Vorm, Simpson, Reo Coker, Moses
Jose Enrique........Kompany.........Woodgate.......Wes Brown

On the one hand, I feel tempted to take advantage of the unlimited transfers, but on the other, I can't find any combo I prefer.
My starting 11:
Subs: Ruddy, Tiote, Simpson, Ranger
My starting 11:
Schwarzer
Cole----Alex----Kompany---Sagna
Nani----Anderson---Y. Toure--Silva
Rooney----Rodallega

Is it confirmed that it's unlimited transfers this gameweek? Has anyone tried it? I really don't want to make a load of transfers that will cost an absolute bomb in points
Well Misty, there are people you can trust, and people you can't trust.
As one of the most sensible posters on here I say Don't do it, It's a Trap.
Thank you for your wise words 711. However, I'm going to take the plunge and risk it. If it turns out to be some elaborate hoax which has infiltrated the fpl website and the dugouts website, then fair fecks haha.
