I'm bottom of the league and was shafted by the technical difficulties (10+ transfers for me this week).
My two cents is keep it at a Week 1 start. It would obviously be beneficial to me if it started Week 2 but the fairest way of doing it is keeping it as a Week 1 start. We had plenty of times to get teams in so it's really our own fault for leaving it to the last minute to try change our teams.
If anything, the free wildcard already eliminates a lot of the advantage the top teams got because the main points winners in early seasons are those who correctly call how teams are going to line-up in the new season. Those who get it right get a great early advantage and those who get it wrong have to use their transfers to fix their teams whilst probably taking a points hit.
And the unlimited Week 2 transfers equalizes a lot of that out because since we've seen most teams in action already so know which fringe players are likely to play more this season.
