My thinking is we may get two picks from Michel in the wee hours (our time) if I start now.

I may have issues myself tomorrow early am as I made plans to be away and back for the noon kickoff...

Anyway..

We should send around a copy of the frozen database... I have to leave right now so could someone else do it?

I thought long and hard about this - I had fantastic success with both Ronaldo and Torres last season. But I've coveted this guy every season, and for my money I dont think there is a better value in the database.

So Arsenal loving Coach Wiggum announces a huge Ole Ole! and welcomes Captain Cesc Fabregas to FC Springfield

I agree with your decision, Andre. That said, I was really counting on you taking Torres. :mad:

Aviators sends all the Fabregas jerseys to the shredder, regroups, and welcomes the top striker in the league, Torres.

We're back on schedule for when Michel logs in around 2 PM EDT. He can make his two picks and we should be able to get up and down the draft order for his Round 3/4 picks before he signs off and then we can finish Round 4 and up to Michel's last Round 5 pick.

Then when he checks in the morning his time, 2am EDT, he can make his picks 5/6 and when we wake up, we can get up and back down the draft order to be ready for Michael's 7/7 picks around 2 PM EDT. and so on.

Just checked into a small hotel in The Pyrennees and I'm quite surprised that they have Wifi in all the hotel.

Well, our room seems to be the furthest from the server so I'm sittining in the toilet - closer - to type this.

:p

Round 1 Pick

Young - Aston Villa - Midfield - 8.5


Round 2 Pick

Bentley - Tottenham - Middfield - 8.0


Will be going down to eat shortly and be back in about about an hour or two.

As I don't intend to sit on the toilet all evening, my picks 3 and 4 might stall this draft if it doesn't get back here in a couple of hours.

Andrew, when you post, reaffirm your availability constraints.

We fully expected your participation today from 2-4 EDT so we could get Round 2 and 3 done, down to Michel's picks before he went to bed. Then we could do rounds 4 and 5 tonight so Michel could make his 5/6 picks when he wakes in the morning (~ AM EDT).

Also, if you haven't done so, send a PM with your phone number to those picking before and after you for alerts, more than just the BigSoccer PM when it's your turn to pick.

Did you remember to subscribe to the draft thread so you get email alerts also each time someone posts in the draft thread?

Just talked with Eric. And the personal situation he alluded to last week is keeping him away from the computer for a while. He says he'll try to get back to us by Saturday morning, EDT, and he'll also prepare some proxy picks to help us get through Saturday.

Breaking News. Just got another call from Eric. He had a minute to give me a pick. Aviators Board of Directors is shocked at some of the players who are still available. Going on the theory of taking the best athlete available, Sir Grandpa Hal announces the selection of Blackburn's Roque Santa Cruz with Aviator's Round 2 pick.

To Andre

I've sent Andre notice of these picks in case he can make his before going to the concert.

I'm off for about 45 minutes for trip home and I'll check in then. Probably won't get past me until Eric gets home late tonight.

FC Springfield, via blackberry in the front row of the concert, selects Chelsea defender Carvalho with his Round 3 pick.

Aviators, totally shocked at our good fortune, selects our highest rated Defender and Bonus magnet, Everton's Lescott to go along with our previous acquisition of our two top rated forwards.
