Stevo985 Posted September 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 9, 2022 2 minutes ago, BOF said: Has this been confirmed as finalised? I'd have thought it's too early to know the full extent of what they will or won't do. Seems unfair and a very lazy solution i.e. they end up doing literally **** all to help people in a period where, proportionately, a lot of people will have triggered their wildcards. If it IS what they do, at least the damage is limited by the fact you only have this team until GW16 and your GW7 fixtures will probably(?) be in there somewhere. So not as bad as in other seasons but far less than optimal. I guess it’s not confirmed. But at the moment GW7 has no fixtures but the deadline remains. So my wildcard is active and will run out tomorrow morning. Means I have to set my wildcard up for GW9. Which is in October after an international break. And everyone not on a wildcard gets a bunch of free transfers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute **** bullshit so is it that the deadline is 11am tomorrow even though there are no games? so you've kinda wasted your wildcard? be a bit shitty of them if that is the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than ideal but can be somewhat rescued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted September 12, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 12, 2022 The potential for some but not all games to be called off next week is filling me with dread.

We'll have a gameweek with a couple of teams playing and then a load of random DGWs It'll become a game of who can get the most players in BGWs and who can get the most DGW players.
