Who is Olfin United, manager Davey Lambert? Is he one of the 10 listed above? Hal What time Sunday does the main draft start? 6 PM EST?
Works for me Hal [dedication to draft]You know what, i think i'll even take Monday off while we're at it so i can put in a good showing for Sunday night[/dedication to draft]
He lists Everton as his favourite team, so I think it must be "Scouse" and he is not in this league anymore. Our two replacement teams should join in the league as no-one here objects to them filling in.
4th pick Funny how we're already 3, going on 4, drafts in when the draft doesn't start until Sunday... I guess we're all chomping at the bit! But remember, now, that Jay has next pick and won't be off the water until tomorrow, so there will now commence a 24 hiatus in the draft. So, here goes... With the 4th pick Mr. Stoobeyboobeys has authorized me to pick up Shearer 10.5
Re: 4th pick I realize Jay wasn't available until tomorrow but yeh I am impatient, also helps us figure out who is in and who is not. I have pm'ed JG_Revs and when it comes to his turn we might stall or Bufflo Soldier could step in.
I'm finally in, sorry for the delay. Many Points FC Email: justin1220@hotmail.com I should be able to make it Sunday 6-8.
Re: Re: 4th pick If he's not on line for the begining of the draft then he should be replaced...imho. EDIT. okay, i see you made it then. Good.
We're set Glad you made it JG_Revs Everyone is in and set for tomorrow @ 6pm EST: Picks so far: 1. Henry (Mt Kili) 2. Postiga (1-800) 3. RvN (Darr) 4. Shearer (Ingromius) Jay will resume the draft with his pick then ... BTW, two of my championship winning team have already gone
Re: We're set He he... If you look at our draft on the Chelsea board Mark, you'll see i have 2 of those first 4 players. I'm using the Chloe/Keegan tactic this year.
Re: Re: We're set Noticed that, this draft will be a very tough challenge for my Keegan like tendencies. After all I wore a red number 7 shirt in 1974 when he scored two in the cup final. Still think Alec Lindsay's goal should have counted, would've been 4-nil instead of 3! Uh-oh "age alert"
I still do not see 2 teams in our division. We have Olfin United, aka Davey Lambert, aka Scouse who dropped out and 8 other managers of our ten teams. I still do not see a team registered for Darr or for MtKillamanjohno.
Re: Re: Re: We're set Great player. I remember to this day all the papers full of the "i'll never play for England again" headlines the day after he was snubed in the selection.
6pm Eastern is going to be midnight over here. Unless it gets back to me quickly, I'll be asleep. So I'm counting on ALL you guys to be online with some rapid fire picks.
We still need MtKillamanjohno to join the Very Small Rocks division and Scouse, aka Olfin to remove his team. Paul, aka Clanblue, I've copied and duplicated your spreadsheet with the multiple worksheets that you are using for the other live draft. Nice Job. http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze3h6nc/CYKI-EPL.xls As in your thread, once we get into the draft, I suggest each manager post their entire draft with each new selection. That way, for those managers not using a spreadsheet like Paul's to keep track, you will only have to review the last 6-8 posts to see if someone was picked. Aviators Rnd 1 - Rnd 2 - Rnd 3 - Rnd 4 - Rnd 5 - Rnd 6 - Rnd 7 - Rnd 8 - Rnd 9 - Rnd 10- Rnd 11- Rnd 12- Rnd 13- Rnd 14- Rnd 15- We are all still bound by the 100 M overall cap and by the no more than 3 players from any one team. This is additional info you might want to post, these fields come from Paul's spreadsheet and running total of money remaining. Name Team 2002/3 pts Cost Money Remaining Henry_ Arsenal_ 271 12.0 88.0 Hal
How are we going to handle players that have transferred in but aren't yet listed? Some moves, like Kanoute to Spurs, for example, are completed but aren't likely to be in the league yet. The obvious solution is to add them to a supplemental draft done on an agreed date, with all transfers off limits until then. With players whose transfers are complete as of today, what do you think of a coach naming that player today, then waiting until the draft's over and taking his choice of what's left. Most of these transfers will surely be online before the season starts, so the only issue would be having to guess the player's value. Added risk for the coach. Nothing up my sleeve, there isn't a secret Arsenal move for Ronaldo or anything...
I think the transfer deadline for Champs League and UEFA play is Thursday. I would imagine all big signings will be done by then. It isn't really an issue with players like Veron (to Chelsea?) as they have a value and are in the premiership. But you're right it is a bit of a problem with players coming from outside the premiership like Kanoute. I say if someone wants to take a risk and pick a player like Kanoute go for it. The fantasy site has been quick to get players listed with a price after they've been transferred in. By the time we get to the 15th round all prices should be set. I think this draft is gonna take about a week anyway, especially with 10 players. If someone does run into money problems the trading begins
The problems will come later in the rounds as the pool of players is greatly reduced quite rapidly and the salary cap is a real bother. We are about to enter the 6th round of our draft on the CFC board and already plans have to be made for the salary cap. The amount of players being taken with 10 players is making a vast difference over the one we did last season and the cap is a real issue. August 31st is the deadline for the Champions league and Uefa cups. Anybody (like Chelsea) who is involved in a qualifier of any sort must submit a team list by August 7th. All teams that come thru the qualifiers will then submit a revised list on August 31st with all the other teams that had automatic entry to the rounds proper. This is to cover any players bought in the mean time.
