Premier League have apologised for the breakdown of their fantasy league site last week...
Received this e-mail below this morning:
Dear Eric,
As you may already be aware, many fans trying to access Fantasy Premier League on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning experienced problems logging in or registering teams prior to the Gameweek 1 deadline.
While the demand reached unprecedented levels on Saturday morning, we fell short of the standards you expect from the world?s biggest fantasy football game and make no excuses for what was both a frustrating and disappointing experience ahead of the new season. For this we apologise unreservedly.
Our technical teams worked throughout the weekend to ensure the technical issue that led to the problems experienced by users was dealt with. Work also continues to improve the quality of your experience with additional steps taken in the game itself that enable you to:
1. Receive unlimited transfers
No points will be deducted for any transfers you make up to the Gameweek 2 deadline (11:30 BST on Saturday 20th August 2011). If you made multiple transfers earlier this week, you will not be penalised. If you had opted to play your wildcard, this will be restored to your account once the Gameweek 2 deadline passes.
2. Opt to start mini-league scoring at Gameweek 2
The option is available to all mini-league administrators to start the scoring from Gameweek 2. Go to ?Leagues? > ?League name? > ?Administer? > Select ?Gameweek 2? in ?Scoring Starts? drop-down menu and click ?Update league details?.
I hope the administrator of the Wrath League will be re-setting the league scoring to start from this week, to be fair to everyone? Who is the Administrator anyway?
