Sky Sports fantasy football – mid gameweek 1 captain change

Well I made my first Sky Sports fantasy football mid gameweek  captain change

I changed RVP from yesterday to Hazard today.  Hopefully to get double points in both games this gameweek.  Here’s the rule and the explanation on the site.  its a little confusing as it makes the change on Saturday night whereas I’ve done it now Sunday morning.

Hopefully I’ve interpreted it right.  Any views would be appreciated

Captain Changes

New for this season – you can now make a captain change within the Game week. Just like transfers, you can make this alteration for any match day, thus giving you the opportunity to score double points from two of your players over the duration of the Game week.

A Game week starts on Saturday at 00.01am and runs till the following Friday.

Captain changes must be made before the earliest kick off that day, e.g.: prior to the first kick-off on the Saturday. Captain changes made after the earliest kick off will carry over and start scoring from the next match day of the Game week.

Captains will still score double – be it positive or negative.

With two lots of double points on offer, changing your captain can have obvious benefits. Choosing when and how to change it is up to you: here’s a couple of scenarios…

You have Robin Van Persie in place as captain prior to Saturday’s matches. He scores you double points on that day and, that evening you elect to change your captain to Eden Hazard – Hazard plays on Sunday and can therefore also earn you double points in the Game week. However, having made a change, you no longer have the option to change your captain for any match taking place on Monday night or later in the Game week.

That’s it good luck to everyone trying out the new rule:
