Quick Tip on Captaincy

Happy 2013 guys! Sorry it took a while for me to update, but I've been pretty busy with work and stuff...hope you guys have better luck than me in Today Fantasy League.

After observing the midweek Chelsea-Southampton game & the top teams inactiveness to capitalize on the rules, here's a quick tip regarding Captaincy for all fantasy managers:

From the FAQ:


When can I change my captain?

You can change your captain right up to the scheduled kick-off time of the first game of a fixture block. This means before the first match of a set of weekend fixtures (Friday to Monday inclusive) and before the first of any midweek matches (Tuesday and Wednesday).
The window for changing your captain will open on Tuesday afternoon and will remain open until the first match of a Game Week (Tuesday to Monday), which will usually be on a Saturday, unless there is a midweek fixture or a set of midweek fixtures. When there are midweek fixtures the captaincy window will re-open at 07:00 following the final midweek match.
Your captain will score double points. To change your captain click on Change Captain.

This means that you are able to change captaincy during the midweek games, and switch again prior to the weekend games.

For instance, this weekend you can captain Suarez (vs Norwich) or van Persie (vs Spurs) rather than Walcott (vs Chelsea). Once the window is open on Tuesday afternoon, you can change your captain to Walcott just for the game against West Ham, and you'll be able to switch on Thursday morning for the next weekend game.

Take advantage of it during this week's games! :)
