"Very Small Rocks" Draft Thread

[Hal]

Per PM instructions, Brian, Captain Splarg selects Wei Feng 3.0 defender for Everton as his last pick.

LOLOLOLOLOL

ROFLMAO

We just have Clanblue to make his last midfielder pick and Outback Maverick to make his last defender pick.

Letting out a huge sigh of relief and hoping Jonathan doesn't take out a contract on me.

Nite all.

[Clan]

Er...you can't have him as well ;)

[Hal]

All right, be that way. Butler is scum! Jay wouldn't have liked that pick. LOL

For Jay's last pick, he selects the defender who scored a goal in his first and only Premiership appearance so far... Devlin of BIR.

The draft summary is completed except for Outback Maverick's last pick.

[Hal]

For those of you who kept score at home, here is the unscrambling I had to do with Jay's last pick:

1. I couldn't pick Toure as Jay already had 5 defenders.

2. After re-inserting Harte and dropping Kewell, Jay needed a midfielder. As no viable mid at 4.0 was available I looked to the 4.5 mids.

3. I tried to get Butler, but by the time I made this selection, Clanblue had just taken Butler.

4. So I picked Devlin of BIR for Jay's last pick.

5. In order to fit under the cap, we released Kiely of CHA for failing our medical, and signed Jaaskelainen of BOL as the second keeper.

Again, Kiely is available in the pool.

Nite all.

[Outback Maverick]

Round 15
Pick 15

Ashley Cole - ARS

I elect to drop Barthez and pick up Kiely since he is back in the pool as Kiely was a higher pick of mine than scum.

[Outback Maverick]

Oops, I didn't see that Ashley Cole was already taken.

Instead...

Round 15
Pick 15

Gallas - Chelsea

and again..drop Barthez, pick up Kiely.

Interesting tactics shown by some managers.
Injuries will wrech havock on some teams as they don't seem to have a full roster of starters....

Now, that was fun and all, but i dare say i wouldn't do that again unless we had a firm commitment from players to all be on-line at the same time.
Or we started several weeks before the deadline.

I wonder how hard it would have been to pick a team if we did indeed have the ten managers that was looked for at the onset?

Still, i am happy with my picks as they ended up.
Next big dilema is to pick a skipper.You just know that who ever you pick the other lad you thought about is going to amass more points that game.

[Hal]

Michel,

I found two addition errors in your team totals. (If my SUM(a:b) formula worked correctly.

We agreed on all indivisual player selections and values per your post, but I had the following different team totals than in your post:

For Outback Maverick, I show 97.0 instead of 100.0

For Clanblue, I show 98.5, instead of 99.5

Thanks to everyone for the participation. I certainly didn't expect it to consume me as much as it did.

My apologies to Jonathan, Ingromius, for making the decision to draft the rest of his team for him. Too many other people were involved with even more time constraints going into the deadline. I hope Jonathan can, with tweaking, come up with a team he is pleased with.

Hal

[Clan]

Are we going to use this forum for announcements or are we going to use the league one that comes with the game?

We need to have a decision so everybody is on the same page ...so to speak and literally

[1800-WorldCup]

I was doing the sums at three in the morning, so I'll add the numbers up with a calculator and post corrections on the site...

[Captain Splarg]

my team look strong.

good in every department :)

[Clan]

Now that everybody is done, if somebody wants to make a change from the pool is there some sort of waiting order or is it a free for all now to make any change you see fit at any time you see fit?

Are you ready to offload Redknapp yet ;)

Legwinski (Fulham) plays at home to Spurs.....

Nah mate.
At 6.5 i believe he was the steal of the midfielders.

Any comments on my second question though?
Do we have a formula we have to follow now for changes or is it a free for all.
I have a change in mind.
Missed something yesterday after 15 straight hours on here trying to get this done.

[1800-WorldCup]

I belief the protocol is.....

Go to the league forum:
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/forum.mc?league=63243

(People might want to bookmark that URL).

Check that no one has made a similar announcement.

Make changes to your team and before you press confirm transfers..... post your tranfer in the forum and then confirm your transfers on your team.

To keep teams up date we need to know who is sold (available for others to buy) and who was bought (off limits to other teams).

Good luck :)

[Clan]

For update.

[DoctorJones24]

Excelent job with the draft, boys. I'm off the water after a few days, and very much liking the squad Hal drafted for me. I particularly liked the mid-draft trade of Silvestre for Lua Lua (+ cap room). Nicely done...

I also have to concur that going ahead with Jon's picks was the best idea, and I think he'll be happy with his team. He is moving into his apartment in London and about ready to start a new job anyday, so he probably was unavoidably detained.

[Hal]

Anyone else having trouble geting into the premierleague.com site?

I was in earlier, but it won't recognize my User Name or Password for either team.


It's like I've been hacked out with someone changing my account data.
