    Gillingham vs Aston Villa [R]

    I doubt this is a game that many are taping, but Gillingham have just equalised against Aston Villa (in the 2nd Half).

    Great goal too.

    As the 4th Round deadline isn't until the 24th, we have 10 days after the 3rd Round replays (Jan 13/14) .... unless people want to draft before the replays are done; to add some spice to life in the drafted league.

    There's then a couple of weeks between each subsequent round, to re-draft or pick up players from the pool.

    Each round is unlimited transfers.

    Fourth Round - Saturday 24th January (32 teams)

    Fifth Round - Saturday 14th February (16 teams)

    I've created my placeholder team until we have the draft.

    What's the league code for our draft league? I assume Michel will create it.

    That's what I like to hear, Hal's taking this one seriously.

    :cool:

    What's worrying though, is that he's already taken the cup to the engravers.

    Draft Order

    Could all managers entering the All Rocks Elite - FA Cup Fantasy Draft League - PM me their e-mail address, as we'll be using the Draft Randomizer - where everyone gets e-mailed the results right away.

    http://www.profantasysports.com/draft_randomizer/

    We can have Serpentine Draft, Random Every Round, or Random Every Odd Round.

    Personally, I'd like to try out the 'Random Every Round' option (but will go with the majority consensus).

    So cast your vote for preferred draft format as well.

    :D

    i'm off to play football in 5mins but i'll send my e-mail and register on the league when i'm back in a couple of hours time.

    and random every round sounds kind of fun and different so i'm happy to give that a bash as well.
