Update your scrub team with your picks and try to update that team with others you think you want that still haven't been drafted. If you get it to work within the funding and team limit caps, then you just have to decide which of these players you need to draft when it's your turn. Keep selling your desired players as others draft them and try to put in your best replacement.

BTW, do you have a first name you'd care to share with your fellow managers or rather want us to always refer to you as Clanblue.

Thanks.
My name is Paul.

I have my picks ready and am about to PM you.

[Clan]

Well i'm off for the night.

See y'all tomorrow af'noon.

[Hal]

I responded to your PM, Paul, if you can check it before you hit the sack.

[Hal]

We are still on hold awaiting 1800-WorldCup's 3rd Round pick.

Pahlease, if you can't be on line, send me a few rounds of picks with instructions on how to draft for you.

We have 15 rounds to complete before the 10th and lots on travel this weekend.

We are accomodating the time zone differences, but if you have held up this draft for a long period more than once, develop a back-up plan.

The moves, up through the 3rd pick of the 3rd round are posted on a previous thread and will be updated periodically.

Nite all, I'll check back in about 6 hours when I wake. Hopefully, Michel will have picked by then.

OK.....

I thought I could speed things up by giving Hal my next...... but it didn't really work.....

So here's MY back-up plan...... I'm ging to sleep all day and be online all night....

Looking at all the recent posts..... the activity occurs around 1am my time.... :(

Michel

[1800-WorldCup]

Discard rumours in the press about Rivaldo and Morientes coming to 1800-UK.com...... their wages are too high and our funds are limited, but the board has allowed us to go for.....

Round 3
Murphy

Next please ;)

[Hal]

Per instructions from Paul, aka Clanblue, his Round 3, Pick #5 is Friedel.

next up Jay, and I'll make his pick

[Hal]

Per instructions from Jay, DoctorJones24's Round 3 Pick 6 is Kewell.

Next up Capt Splarg.

[1800-WorldCup]

Who is Cape Tribulation?

Captain Splarg or Outback Maverick?

============

Hal, nice to see you're keeping things moving......

If all Americans have given you their drafts I don't have to sleep now to be up after midnight ;)

In case things go astray again, I'll PM you my telephone number so that you can wake me up when its my turn :)

Hal,

Kewell is already taken by Ingromius.

Please post Jay's next pick on the list for round 3.

[Hal]

Mea Culpa, mea culpa,

I tried to sneak one past everyone, but, alas, you are correct, Kewell was already taken.

Luckily for me Capt Splarg has yet to pick, so I'll move to Jay's next choice.

DoctorJones24 in Round 3 with the 6th pick selects Harte.

Back to Capt Splarg

[Hal]

Surrogate drafter:

At the present, I have draft proxies for the following:

Jay's, DoctorJones24, entire draft list as he is on a boat trip.

Ingromius' next two selection instructions, if this, do that etc.

A short list to make Clanblue's next pick if his turn comes up before 2 PM when he should be back online.

The international telephone number of Michel, 1800-WorldCup, for me to call (collect I presume) or to call and let ring twice and hang up????? to wake Michel up when it's his turn. Seeing an opportunity for profit here, what am I bid for Michel's phone number? LOL

Thinking logically, I reckon Cape Tribulation is Outback Maverick's team -- Aussie connection.... which means Captain Splarg still has to enter his team..... (and make his next pick ;))

[1800-WorldCup]

At this rate we're going to need two weeks to get our teams up...... :(

I hope everyone can at least be online all day on Saturday..... see Hal's earlier post for suggested schedule :)

[Outback Maverick]

per conversation with captain splarg yesterday..his next pick is

Craig Bellamy

[Outback Maverick]

Round 3
Pick 8

Robbie Keane - Tottenham

Outback Maverick


Since Danny Murphy was taken out from under me..it'll be a few minutes while I look for another pick....

[kopiteinkc]

STOP

I already picked Bellamy

[1800-WorldCup]

Once you change Captain Splarg's 3rd round selection..... we're into round 4 :)

Is the pace picking up or am I just dreaming?

[Outback Maverick]

well ok..i guess he'll have to pick someone else...waiting.....
