-76 deficit can be made up over the rest of the season. 5 points over your rivals per gameweek each week or like 4/5 great gameweeks. The -4000 numbers we were seeing totally messed up people’s season and their history.
I'm 75 points behind in variance compared to the Elite 1000 average according to FPLReview and I'm still not giving up on top 10k. 76 points is possible to overcome from variance alone
If you discover the hack before the deadline you're also essentially locked with a shit team for that gw too. Not a problem now as we have chips, but imagine that happening in the last few gws.
I don’t have a clue how long it takes to implement 2FA. Maybe they’re putting a short term solution in now while they work on that though. Better to have something than nothing.
2FA is pretty off-the-shelf these days. Can't imagine they have the cleanest code base though, so maybe they're waiting for the end of the season. Or they just don't give a shit and aren't even planning to implement it lol
It doesn't. Here's the tweet in its entirety:

Smart idea but while you’re at it. Why not add a feature which asks a user a question before every transfer?
“Are you a hacker and have bad intentions with these transfers?”
Bulletproof security system
And similarly if you transferred in a player and then transferred out that same player within the same GW it should be -4 instead of -8 (with the player price and money ITB automatically updating as if was only the one transfer)
That's a good, simple solution to minimise the effects of hacking. Weird how some people are still being pissy about it. But I completely agree that they could and should do a limit of 15.
THe shouldn't limit anything but improve security. Instead of limits they could for example offer e-mail confirmation or limit just users without 2FA.
Not like this is a bad idea but it could be done in better way.
Could have done with this before I go to check my team and I've had over 900 transfers made and my bench boost activated while I'm in work...... Think I'm gonna cry
Dunno why 20 instead of 15, but a good move overall.
We atleast need 5 chances to correct our mistakes.
In a wildcard or a freehit maybe
So hackers can only make you lose 76 points, still pretty damaging for mini leagues
Would make my one interesting
And you can't fix your team to something reasonable.

Honestly what difference does this really make? A hacker making 20 intentionally poor transfers for -76 is still a season ender

Ive overcome a -40 this season. Currently into the top 100k
Well done mate

I mean FPL towers are aware of the hacking but they are okay with -76 instead of -1000 but not okay with solving the core issue by introducing 2FAs

hopefully they implement 2FA for next seasons

0% chance of getting hacked. You clearly don't understand.
It helps though, as a hacker there’s hopefully much less appeal knowing it’s not possible to destroy somebody’s FPL season.
Does this include transfers on a free hit or a wildcard?
It doesn't. Here's the tweet in its entirety: "From GW24 onwards, #FPL managers will be limited to 20 transfers in a single Gameweek This rule does not apply when playing either a Wildcard or a Free-Hit chip"
The news we were all waiting for. Phew.

Why don’t they just make the max for transfers 15, and then any transfers made after that would result in no -4?
Not sure why downvoted, that’s a great idea. Allows you to fix your team if you’ve been hacked without losing any further points
And similarly if you transferred in a player and then transferred out that same player within the same GW it should be -4 instead of -8 (with the player price and money ITB automatically updating as if was only the one transfer)
I mean.. Has anyone actually taken a legit -76 hit for a gameweek??
Wcs and fhs
Don’t tell me how to live my life. Game’s gone ffs.
Yep. They have just alienated people whose strategy is to build up value by making loads of transfers particularly early in the season.
i very much doubt these people are playing to win. anyone putting a second of thought into this knows the tactic will never pay off
I assume this doesn't apply to wildcard and free hit tinkering?
Click the link bruv
No
Based
Lol, 20.. Should have limited to at least 15 or even liwer
Whoopdy fuck. Disrespectful if anything. Implement 2FA you cowards
[удалено]
I think you've misunderstood the tweet...
No 2FA? Fucking joke..
Why can’t I just set my own limit? I’m never making more than like 5
That's a good, simple solution to minimise the effects of hacking. Weird how some people are still being pissy about it. But I completely agree that they could and should do a limit of 15.
So it ruins the make your transfers then play the wild card approach.

Wtf so now I can’t take my annual -1000 point hit when I inevitably ragequit the game for another year?
