Not sure how long he was there since I was offline for a few hours (family reason in this case but I usually miss out on added players because of work travel and spending hours working in secure areas where you can't even check your cell phone mail let alone go to the FPL site. The shielding and no wired internet blocks you even if it wouldn't cost me my job) but that was after I checked half a dozen times since I woke up. Anyway I know that it would be too difficult to operate a waiver wire system manually but I do wish we at least had something like the post draft no trade period for new players. Even if we only did it for the end of the summer transfer window since that is such a large day and so close to the start of the season that it could really impact your team for most of the season (assuming the player is healthy and as good as you projected). It would help equalize access so those who couldn't check the site constantly would get a shot. The fact that despite trying on multiple times to get newly added players since joining our draft game I've never been able to get an added player except for after the post draft window closes really gets on my nerves on days like this. It feels like an unfair or at least imbalanced competition at those times and I've never felt that way in fantasy NFL leagues since they are well designed for drafts. Rant over. Just need to crush Lobo with what's left.
funny I was online only about total 15 minutes all day, checked in the morning and then remembered I had a bill I had to pay online a few hours later, pulled the laptop out of the car while out, then remembered to just look as I was shutting down, got funny looks as I typed furiously
The, if only there were bright shiney games to distract me saga, continues: Posted by Lobo Mojo on 05 Sep 17:38 Out: Schwarzer GK FUL 5.0; Harte D RDG 4,4 In: Guzan GK AVL 4.5; Rafael D MUN 5.6 Bank: 0.1 -8/-32
Time to enter the cryogenic chamber and set for 10 days to thaw.... Not that I am one who doesn't hit the transfer button. A goal and clean sheet from Rafael erases 8 points already.
Posted by Craig Powell on 14 Sep 18:13 Sure am glad I rush to pick up Mario. Out: Balotelli In: Vaz Te, F, WHM, 5.5 Bank: 4.4
Damn Defoe was on the hot seat to get some funds and that darn Fantasy Football Scout starts chatting up about Vaz Te....
anyone seen my midfielders wandering about lost at airports, train stations, cruise ports, roadside rest stops
i hadn't previously heard of this place, but word is that they were seen getting out of a bus at a roadside stop called Wiggum's Green Iced Lattes and Red Light Massages.....
with my million dollar midfield turning in to Dollar Store items gottta do what I can to raise snack money...
Pressing a bit here, but when you are 32 of 32 you need some good things to happen to you. Oscar could be one of those good things. As usual, we will see. Posted by Craig Powell on 22 Sep 14:46 Like this CHE lineup. Wondered if Oscar and Mata would vie for the same spot. This one drops Lamps with Mata and Oscar playing. Rotation problems still there, but have to jump for this quality. Out: Jarvis In: Oscar, M, CHE, 7.8 Bank: 1.3
Keep changing until I get folks who play. Posted by Craig Powell on 22 Sep 20:50 Not sure what is going on with this guy, but he is not playing, so he is gone. Out: Assou-Ekotto In: Johnson, D, LIV, 6.4 Bank: 1.3 -4
Interesting how only players who actually play can earn points... FC St. Pauli OUT: Bertrand - D - CHE - 4.5 OUT: Nasri - M - MCI - 8.2 IN: Cameron - D - STO - 4.5 IN: McAnuff - M - RDG - 5.1 Bank: 4.0 2 frees
Surprised how quite the tranfer business is going around Small. Sasha Juniors Out: Reid D WHM 4.7 In: Kolarov D MCI 5.7 Bank: 2.3 I think Kolarov is on the same list as Stephen Ireland as somebody to never pick. Will enjoy him playing only 12 minutes or not at all. If I was going to keep to a diet of one transfer per week and 38 for the season then this is one that will cause a 3 transfer headache. Will transfer out for a cheap defender to have enough money to pop for a decent forward. I think the McManuff at 5.1 is a steal. Also, a bit miffed that I coughed up Cameron so quickly. Oh well...
