Captain issues

Post by scopsm »

Anyone else had any issues with captain not being retained.

This week, I picked Salah as captain and Firminho as vice-captain yet noticed that I seem to have Firminho as captain and Fernandez (Swansea) as vice captain.

Yes, two mins before deadline I swapped Salah captain for Sterling. After game reopened, it was still on Salah. Is there any chatter anywhere about something similar happening to others?

Hmm. Not captain related . But I'm sure I swapped my subs around and they went back to how they were after deadline

(While I'm sure you're fully aware of this) any changes, c. vc, bench order etc, needs a final confirmation - "Save Your Team".

I make a point of ALWAYS clicking the My Team tab after I save any changes (or think I have) - just to ensure that action makes it all the way through and my squad is what I think it is.

That's a good tip, RPG.

Earlier this week, when playing around with my free hit team for the hundredth time, I found that I had two different versions of my team open in two tabs in my browser. Pressing My Team identified which of them was my most recently confirmed version.

I am sure I pressed save at the end. Will need to be more vigilant now and triple check my team after any changes. FPL support suggest it can only be user error...

To quote:
'The only way that this could have happened would have been if you accidentally made these changes, or if someone else had been able to access your account and make the changes in question.'

I have a habit of as soon as I change my captain I hit save then hit f5.

Then about a minute later I go back on and debate my decision again!

Yes, this happened to me also this week. My captain was set as Salah, but somehow Walcott was instead selected?! I would never have selected Walcott, but somehow he ended up scoring more than Salah - so thanks FPL ;)
