Time once again for everyone to post whether or not you will be back next year. I think we have had a great year. I am looking forward to BiggerBoat getting his turn finally in that madhouse of the Very Small Rocks League. Hal or Wiggum will be making room for him. FC St. Pauli had his run as top of the Dust, then Sand and then VSR come to a halt in Small Rocks. Probably some 4 or so new spots for Dust next year. If anyone has a recruit let them know and have them post here.
If I get relegated from VSR I'm taking my ball and leaving!! *Not really. I'll be back again but wont be selecting any players in any team Roberto Mancini is managing* Note: I use the word managing in the previous sentence in the loosest possible sense...
I'll be back. Has anyone heard from Chuck Cannon? Mr. Rockville Gunners. He hasn't made a move since around the 10th gameweek. No transfers for the year, which might not be a bad thing and is consistent with his approach, but also no lineup changes or changes in captain. Looks totally inactive. Anyone have an email address? Could be another opening in VSR.
Point taken. If anyone had any particularly inactive managers (read Real Mos Eisley) we will need to decide if they can come back next year. Usually, a strong case needs to be made. Otherwise, as Vegas stating, VSR will get 3 from Sand to make up for Cannon empty spot after relegation. So now would be a good time to sort that out. It can be listed here or you can PM me.
If there's a spot open after things are sorted, I'd like to join the league. I'm impressed with the overall layout of the league, the draft process, and head-to-head/single player per team format. I've been playing fantasy sports for years, but never took to the format that allows the same player to be found on multiple teams that is often the case in soccer leagues. This league seems thorough and the relegation/promotion system provides added motivation to compete. If there's a spot, I'd appreciate the opportunity fill it.
Welcome Jimellow. I am almost certain there will be openings as we always have some retirements and some inactive players are not always asked back. Keep an eye on this thread. It will die off in late May and June and then come July get frantic as we start up again.
Looks like 2 newbies for Dust League for next year: Waiting List: 1 - Awesenal - Team Name 2 - Jimellow - Team Name
Thanks. Ideally there is a spot for me. Joined the forums here years ago, but haven't done much posting, especially lately. Always watch soccer whenever I get the chance, and with NBC's very expanded coverage of the EPL in the season upcoming, there should be plenty of opportunities to tune in. I like Aston Villa, but they've been disappointing of late.. The wrong kind of exciting to see if they can avoid relegation this season - they should be fine - and very disappointing since Martin O'Neill left. Didn't really expect them to compete with Manchester and the like going forward, but also didn't expect them to be at serious risk of relegation either. I especially don't understand how they ended up signing Alex McLeish from a rival club, as that seems wrong on various levels, and was only emphasized by how poorly they did under his reign. Would be neat if they beat Chelsea, but they're all over the place this season and avoiding relgation will have to be good enough. Anyway, looking forward to the league if I'm able to get a spot. I'll also try to make a point to post at the forums here more.. Seems like a lot fewer advertisements than the last time I frequented the site, which is nice. Layout is also much more smooth and friendly.

I'm leaning strongly toward stepping out. Love it, but spending more time than I should. I'll give a definitive answer shortly. I assume someone would take offense if I save Glorydaze by making 75-100 transfers this week to drop into 7th and get myself relegated on the way out....
All we need is Ingromius to return and we could do a Founding Father's League. (Yuk, what a choice of smilies) -
OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE While FC Touchline Ban's focus remains completely on a strong finish to its first season in the Small Rocks Division, we can confirm that the club will return to the elite league for the 2013-14 season. Club executives will have no further comment on this matter until the conclusion of the current Small Rocks season. Thank you for your understanding, and Come On The Touchline Ban!
