Mr BS has reminded me how soon the Premier League will be starting (August 13th), and asked me to get the Frasier Online fantasy league set up for the new season. So, here's what you need:

Code to join this league: 981561-235619

Anyone who hasn't played before but wants to just needs to go here, sign up, and follow the instructions.

Anyone who needs help just ask on this thread.

Butler's Friends have joined the league too. For anyone who's interested, a Butler's Friend is a type of corkscrew.

Just come in and logged into the site to have a look at the stats so far, but everything's showing as 0 for me? I know for sure a handful of my players actually played today :lol: Anyone else taken a look and just seeing an empty set of stats so far? At least it's showing no information in a flashy pseudo-3D design this season :roll:

As best as I can make out, looking at the data view tab, I have scored 22 so far but it may be that the leagues and final points tallies are not put on until the end of game week 1 - i.e. after the Man City/Swansea game on Monday night.

Yeah, i'd already gone to that latest points page and that's where everything was showing 0 still. They finally updated it around 9-9.30. Piss poor website this season, in my opinion. It's got flashy images and flashier drag and drop bits and scrolly things, but the usability is worse just to view simple info.

Not that i've got anythign worth seeing yet. Seem to be doing fuck all in this first gameweek.

Edit: Christ, 500 Internal Server errors. All this fancy new shit on the site and it still falls over easily with a bit of traffic. They can't spend a few quid on extra server capacity?

Looks like they've had a good few problems with the site.

Seems we all have unlimited transfers available for a further week.

I'm sick of complaining about the new site now, but is anyone else on here seeing it as complete shit compared to previous years? No more live updates or anything that was fun for banter, and actually just worked in previous years.

I don't know what the hell EA Sports and the Premier League have done to the thing since combining over it, but behind the glossy coat of paint the actual workings of the site seem to be the cheapest shit coding and hosting i've seen on a site with major traffic. I'm pretty much on the verge of jacking it in. :|

It's complete wank isn't it. I've been trying to find out who played for Wigan and Newcastle today but I have to click on each individual squad member now to get that info it seems. Total shite.

I've been playing this since 2003 and the site pretty much remained the same all these years. That 2003 season there were around 200,000 players and now there are over 2 million. why mess with success? I bet that figure will decrease for next season unless they sort this shit out sharpish.
