If you pick your team is set in stone or can you continue to tinker and change it till deadline.

Just not an idea of my team selection just now.

Hello Tony
I’ve registered, but also got a ‘Sorry something went wrong’ message from PayPal. Also, the link in the announcement section gives a page ‘404’ error.

If it is the same as previous years you can change it as many times as you want up until the first game of the season.

Not sure what's happened but your entry has been received OK and I've just sent out the code.

The '404' error is my doing, I've corrected it now.

It is the same as previous years. I always auto select initially to get the league set up and then tend to leave it until a couple of days before, start making loads of changes and make the team a whole lot worse than when I started.

Joined up - looking forward to it again. Hopefully we don't have loads of injuries and we all basically have the same 11 down the home stretch

Just to flag: there's an additional way to score points this season.

The addition of Defensive Contribution points in Fantasy helps reward outfield players who may not earn a goal or an assist but still make significant contributions during a match.
Any defender who reaches an accumulative total of 10 or more clearances, blocks, interceptions (CBI) and tackles in a single match will earn 2 points.
Any midfielder or forward who reaches an accumulative total of 12 or more clearances, blocks, interceptions (CBI), tackles and recoveries will earn 2 points.


Would've been especially worthwhile having Ben Mee in your team for this back in the day. :D
