Very Small Rocks 2013-14 chit-chat thread

I'm pretty much available for the next two weeks.

 

Ready to rock and roll....

No vacations etc so will be available anytime. I am in Oz though, so will be a bit of a pain in the butt come draft time. But since I will only be doing my draft this year, and not my other tentacles (I said tentacles) I will be on to it pretty quickly. Hopefully I draw 1 or 8 so I get 2 picks on the spin

 

I'm happy for you to draw 1 if the luck of the draw sees me draft 8, then we really will be rolling; you'll get Bale and I'll snap up Mignolet.

We also both get some sleep and (hopefully) wake up to see the middle-run American picks on the table.

Nothing finalised yet but could be on the road from around July 10-14th through August 18th; just in time to play my first wildcard.

 

LOT of research to be done between now and then, player values will play a part in the squad make up. I am playing with the big fellas now

I agree with Mr 1800.... wildcard might as well be mandatory in weeks 2 or 3 as far as I am concerned

 

I have a couple of weekends that will be busy towards the end of July. Really would like to see a start time in early August but could muster myself together before that. Eastern time zone holding down the backwaters of Southeast Georgia.

 

I'm off tomorrow morning and will be on the road until 18th August.



Should be able to check in most days (briefly); somewhere between 06:00-07.30 Central European Time and around 19:00 - before hitting the town for the night.

Not totally sure where we'll be the whole time - somewhere around Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy region. Haven't been to Montenegro in a while.

Maybe Germany (Bavaria) and France (Alsace) for a few days, just before kick-off; a lot will depend on the weather in Europe.

 

No worries, Mark.

I'll check in as stated above; morning and evening if Internet is available (usually is, unless we're sailing). There's no other way to reach me.



When I get online, I check the draft thread before I even look at e-mail or Facebook. PMs are a waste of time too. Just be patient.



If it's my turn, great..... If not, I'll post when I'm likely to be back. No need to stress, we always get these drafts done in plenty of time.

 

Agree (regrettably ) with Mr Gatherings. To me the Draft is the 2nd best thing as far as All Rocks goes, and a very close 2nd I might add to the Medal, so do not understand the piddle pantsing to get it over and done with in a hurry.

Let's let it simmer... let the juices do whatever juices do and enjoy the experience. Afterall it is like Christmas as we only get it once a year.

 

FC Weymouth is here and ready to go! US Eastern time here. No vacations planned.

Excited to get started!

 

The doors are open..

Apparently:

'Utilising a range of statistics to create a BPS score for every player, the system is designed to reward contributions of players that may not necessarily earn traditional fantasy points, rather than re-reward players that already score handsomely against the current scoring criteria'.

In reality, the same players will be getting the bonuses.

 

Bugger, I thought they would revert back to the old dart throwing days of a couple of seasons back

 

So when we starting?? August 1???

 

With one pick a day, we'll be done by the 16th.... Perfect.

 

If you get 1 or 8 it will be half that time .
