Game Weeks : Fri Jan 22, 2010 1:52 pm  

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but I'm a new poster and don't have the time to look through all threads.

Are the gameweeks usually specified and when do they run from ie Friday 7pm until Friday 7pm?

Will the first weekend with only two games count as the first game week ie will I need to fill my team with Leeds, Crusaders, Quins and Wakey players?

Thanks for your help!

Not a good idea IMO you only get 50 changes in the seasoin and unless ur gonna stay with the same team for a few weeks id stay away from flooding ur team just cos of 2 games

Sorry, I'm used to playing Premierleague.com where a gameweek effectively refers to a round of games and the times between transfers taking effect.

Eg if you make a transfer on Friday after the first game of the weekend starts, any transfers will only count towards the following weeks games.

All a bit technical but it could be a big advantage to cash in on the first week when only four teams playing. Agreed that it may be a rash use of precious transfers though!

I've done it two years in a row and made the top 50 in the competition on both occasions. It won't work for those who are chopping and changing every 5 minutes but it's proved successful for me both times that I've done it.

Changes get locked every Friday and enabled again after the final game of the round, so you can't make any changes while games are being played and there's no need to worry about 'game weeks' etc. Weekly scores also get reset to 0 when the changes are locked.
