    They've made a subtle change to the Wildcard this season.
    You get two, one to be used by the 28th December and the other in the second half of the season.
    If it's not used by the cut-off date, then you lose it.
    Pointless keeping hold of it too long.

    <laugh> You may well do, but, you wouldn't beat me that way...
    Seriously though, if you want to win, you have to change the team, although I find the Barclays version a bit high maintenance.

    I'll be making transfers this afternoon in Telegraph FF, currently 4 points off top for Manager of Month, with £20 for the winner up for grabs, so it's worth my while.

    I can't believe you are cheating yet again, by using underhand tactics such as making transfers and/or substitutions. Cheat!

    It's clear anyone chopping and changing knew nothing about football in the first place.

    Cheat, me, never, I wouldn't dream of it.
    I always play within the rules.

    The Telegraph rules allow transfers to be made between games, as long as there are 2 hours between kick-offs.
    Whilst I had a sniff at MofM yesterday, after the Southampton game, I reckoned I'd lost out on it.
    Therefore, I only made a single transfer bringing in Ayew, so it was worth it, but nowhere near enough to win the readies at stake. Still I'm 2nd and 3rd in that league, so I have hopes this season.

    As for cheating, I will admit that in the past, I manipulated the rules as a League Chairman, but, I must stress it was not cheating, and in no way did I deserve the moniker of MrC.Heat.....all lies..

    When I'm playing at £20 a pop for some of the teams I have, I'm hardly not going to make transfers when everyone is, am I... I may as well have put the lot on Newcastle to win the league instead.

    You would probably prefer the Sun Dream Team, transfers in set Transfer Windows....for the small sum of £20 you can join next year if you wish. Stick to your values of leaving the team alone, and watch the rest of the league sail away into the distance....we welcome people like that with open arms..<ok>

    So you know what every manager is thinking, who is going to pick up injuries in the season and the results and scorers of every game? Fair play to you if you do.

    As if that's the only changes you make.... If it was a rule in which only injured players can be subbed that would be a better system in my opinion.

    Didn't say it was, was responding to your comment about people making too many changes. I picked Ulloa from Leicester in my team because he did well last year, wasn't playing so took him out for Kone, could have picked Wilson, Wilson scored a hat trick the following day. Also there is a limit of 1 or 2 transfers each game week on the Premier League one.

    Yes, I know the Sun's is a lot stricter. Personally I like to pick a few key players and have a team around them. This year I got Toure, Aguero, Fabregas, Mata, Courtois and Costa.

    Said at the start of the year Benteke, Costa, Aguero, Rooney and Kane would be the 5 highest scorers, none of them got to 2 yet. Think some teams are going to take maulings against these players and not just Brugge.
