There have been some queries regarding the time at which player allocations from the January transfer window are actioned. It is important to remember what is stated in the January transfer window blog post regarding the time of allocation:
"Each day, all new players processed will be added to the game at the same time, which means that all players 48 hour notice period will end at exactly the same time. However, the time at which allocation happens in individual leagues will not be exactly the same time as the system does not run the allocation for all leagues at exactly the same time. Therefore some leagues will get slightly longer than 48 hours to claim the players."
This becomes particularly prevalent when there are multiple players being allocated at the same time - an example of this is the allocation of five spearate players that took place on Wednesday 28th January for the players added on Monday 26th January. The process will also take longer depending on the number of leagues that require an allocation to be processed.
So if you find that an allocation hasn't happened precisely when you expected, please be patient - it will happen soon.

I change my team around late on a Saturday night or first thing Sunday morning to make sure everybody can get points.
I don't seem to be getting as many points as I'm expecting when I am getting goals and clean sheets and I haven't moved all season. Please can you confirm if my transferring is stopping me from getting points, eg. Lampard scores for me on Saturday, I take him out after the match and put Tuncay in who is playing on Sunday - will I lose the points for Lampard scoring because he is no longer in the team?
Please advise.
I ask this as I can't understand why I am not getting points in my league and other teams above me are moving away all the time with players who aren't scoring or keeping clean sheets.
PTG - As you will be aware we do not comment on specific teams/leagues in this blog, but there is no way that you can lose points by changing players around from a Saturday to a Sunday.
If Frank Lampard is playing for Chelsea in a 3pm kick-off on Saturday and you have him as a CM in your team then once the match kicks off, that CM slot will become locked and you will not be able to move a player into or out of that position.
The CM position becomes un-locked when the scoring for that day has been completed. At this point you can then move a different player into the CM position for the Sunday matches. You therefore cannot move a player out of a position until any points due to you have been awarded.
If you think there is something specifically wrong with your team then you will need to contact customer services giving details of your team/league and specific examples of where you think something has gone wrong.

Checking league by categories regularly, shows where your team is struggling .Goals and clean sheets are only 2 of ten categories.Minutes played ,defence, and passes are just as important, hope your team start to pick up.
