You can also use the official Prem site for this you know.

It's not set up yet for the 2004/5 seasonm but should be quite soon.

Well Pasha's idea was to play a head to head league with a draft. I believe that the Premier League site only offeres salary cap games.

I'd like to play if the logistics get worked out to something reasonable, running this kind of league could get pretty tedious without a good format.

One issue i have with the scoring is that midfielders arean't really worth much, especially defensive mids who won't score much. They can only contribute basically to two categories, fair points and +/- and if they take some yellow cards they are really worth to have for +/-. Someone like Vieira would not be worth much, but i think he should be, midfielders should get some credit for playing time as defenders do, as well as credit for not allowing goals. It doens't have to be as much as defenders but if they get nothing almoust all will be pretty worthless. I don't know what sort of formations we would allowed but playing a formation with as many forwards and defenders as possible would be advantageous in this format.

matchday 1 seeding:

1 vs 7
2 vs 8
3 vs 6
4 vs 5

[tomvandamn]

im gonna be manager#8

[tomvandamn]

just a suggestion
isnt this going to be alot of work for you
calculating the scores and all that stuff plus keeping track

i think it would be better for us to do a draft and then according to the players we get we all register under a private league in www.premierleague.com

????wont be perfect but i think it will be easier

looks like were set we just have to make sure clanblue is in

we need to set a draft date and everbody needs to have a list of at least 30 you would like to draft you will be able to pick 20 secondary players will probably be needed in case the one you wanted is taken

draft order will be picked randomly

please be considerate in the draft

draft dates will be copicked and set up so everyone can participate in a real time chat draft...

I like the work isnt hard premiere league doesnt follow the same rules but talk to Pasha...

[Ilovecolombia redded]

there will be 8 matchdays then the matchdays will repeat themselves at OPPOSITE homes

the first team in the matchday is the home team

there will be a total of 32 games

the first 8 settings will be picked
the second 8 will follow reversed and at opposite homes
the third 8 will be picked a new
and the fourth 8 will follow reversed and at opposite homes

then the top 6 teams will play a cup with the last 6 games of the premiere season

the 6 teams after the leader will meet in a straight knockout 3 games leaving 3 teams left those 3 teams will play 2 games among themselves the top winner will play the final against the chart leader....

any comments ideas questions?

is this the real draft order?
after the first 8 picks are made do the picks then go from 8-1 then1-8 like a snake in yahoo fantasy???

as for a way to determine the draft you can do it by # of posts i think thats fair

[Ilovecolombia redded]

I picked a totally random draft list using a random number/name picking program thats the results I got...

when the first 8 picks are made the list repeats itself until all 20 are done..

number of posts isnt really that fair randomly is the best deal..

[tomvandamn]

the list repeats itself so its basically like this

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16
19,20,21,22,23,24,

so the person with the first pick gets 1,9,19
person with 8th pick gets 8,16,24

it should be a snake system

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9
17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

this is more reasonable
manager 1 gets 1,16,17
manager 8 gets 8,9,24 and so forth

whoever picks 1st will take henry and then for every round they get first pick is amateur

[Ilovecolombia redded]

no the list goes like this 7 picks then the next then the next person and then it goes back to 7 doing this 20 times

players like henry will probably be kept as wildcards to be given to a random person who turns in one of their players in turn....most likely all the players from manchester u and arsenal will be sorted out randomly ....

[Ilovecolombia redded]

also each player should choose a name for his team and design a shield/logo or ask and ill design one for you when asking ask specifically what you want to be done...

The draft should go like a snake as vandamn proposed.

What are yuo talking about manu and arsenal players sorted out randomly, what's the point of a draft if players are put on teams randomly.

[tomvandamn]

i dont even know what type of order he was talking about

the best thing would be to do the draft in a snake system and we have our own league in www.premierleague.com
with the players we drafted
you already have a platform for scoring and the computer will do all the calculations plus you can see your team displayed

those rules posted at the beginning are a bit too much and whoever is running this will get exhausted calculating all those stats

besides alot of the people at bigsoccer play many fantasy games

bbc
premierleague.com
yahoo fantasy leagues
kicker bundesliga fantasy
uefa champions league
they might have a wc2006 qualifying one as well
+ the predictor games

just my 2 cents
