Draft will begin tomorrow morning at 8am ET.

Please PM the next person in the draft after you have made your pick.

By agreement in our draft we will have a 12-hour window for each pick, but I expect each pick to go quicker than that.

If you are gonna be gone for any extended length of time, please post and let us all now and send me or your designated proxy your next pick (or two).

We're going with the "official" way to post picks I assume?

EXAMPLE:
1 United Forever - Ronaldo - MU - M - 14
2 Kopiteinkc
3 Blech
4 Riot71
5 Cannon
6 Djangone
7 Ingromius
8 Kuhnscoot

Sorry he's the only one who's point total I know off the top of my head.

Yes, exactly.

Draft administrator note: The first pick will be made at Midnight ET tonight by United Forever. At this point the premierleague.com database will be captured by me.

The second pick will be made at approx. 8am ET by me.

Sometime that morning (i.e. when I get to work) I will post the database on my own work website so we can reference it if necessary.

Rev up those engines, go check the injury reports, watch the latest Sky Sports News or get out the roulette wheel and ouija board .... it's time to pick 'em!

[Cannon]

Hmm. I'd really like to get that final player list earlier than that so I have some time with it prior to my pick. Can we agree that the database is set at midnight tonight? That way the other managers don't have to wait on your website and can just download it asap.

I'm fine with it being fixed at 12 midnight eastern tonight if others agree. On the other hand, I haven't followed the day closely, but don't know whether it will matter in any way if you go ahead and print it out now. Bottom line, no vote from me and I'll defer to whatever others want to do.

Yes it will be the database at midnight tonight, if you wanna download it then that's cool with me.

To be honest I don't see it changing much today at all.

[kopiteinkc]

Player list at: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/playerlist.html has been captured.

United Forever should be posting his first round choice in the next fifteen minutes or so.

Me? I am off to bed and will post my selection at 8am ET.

Shockers! Couldn't have seen it coming! Completely blindsided!

I just got home from work as you guys are waking up. My brother has my first proxy, but I'm going to hold out for making my second pick myself.

[kuhnscoot]

Knew that's who you'd take Mark. :D

I really did have someone else in mind, but my cat (named Torres) reminded me this morning with a quick bite to the ear that I should go with my heart instead of my head.

Well, interesting. Push forward, young lad. Push forward.

[Ingromius]

Hi all...

After 2 days in stormy weather on top of Mt Washington I'm back, probably suffering from oxygen deprivation as well as sleep deprivation.
I'll be around for my first 2 picks, assuming things move along, then have an enforced absence tonight for family reasons -- will leave proxies for rounds 3 & 4 and should be able to be back online by late tonight anyway.

If things are slow today I'll even leave proxies for rounds 1 & 2 but they'll be specific choices rather than a list (Alan Smith is too important for me to compromise.)

[kuhnscoot]

Just found out I have a small hiccup today. It's "meet the teacher night" at my son's daycare (Why a 9 week old needs to have a "meet the teacher night" is beyond me). Mark has my cell phone number to call me if it reaches my turn. I'll probably be out from about 3:30 central time to 7ish central time.

[Cannon]

I'll be back shortly (1 hour or so)
