Thought we should start a thread for next season. Please post your intent to return and PM me the best contact info. Figure that middle of July things start rolling round here.
Another Name Change is On The Cards will look forward to competing with Aviators again, for the 'umpteenth' season.
I'll be back, even though my motivation was really crushed this year. No matter how much I tried it seemed Potomac Highlanders could never get any traction. <sigh>
That's the beauty of a new season. We get to believe we can do it all over again; until the first wildcard falls flat.
We've got enough for one league. Who's up for Euro 2016 Fantasy? http://eurofantasy.uefa.com/ Code to join Euro 2016 Masters: 14281DW2
I will be returning next season Bigger and Boatier than ever . Kudos 1000 times to the Muppet for keeping the Rothmans alive in my absence. A change of state ( living in freezing NSW now instead of Far North Qld Tropics ) , a business expansion , a start up of a new business blah blah has taken all my time and energy the past 6 months ..... literally the 1st game of soccer I have watched in 2016 calendar year was the Playoff between Hull & Sheffield Wednesday the other night. Not sure what division I am in , likely the same one as last year , but looking forward to getting back amongst it again
You mean you didn't watch England vs Australia? Anyway, good to see you back. You don't need a division, you need a port. All that floating around has made your head spin.
Dr Heckle doesn't need a dry dock to fix his boat ! A cheaper method and more practical for his recent form would be to trade in for a submarine !! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
From July you will be able log in to create your Fantasy Premier League team and sign up to receive communications from the Premier League as well as your favourite club.
Time to organize for real: As no managers reported that other managers in their leagues went inactive to the extent they shouldn't be invited back, we can make the preliminary league positions based on the promotion and relegation results.

Step 1. All managers indicate their real intent to continue by July 16. After that, we'll move up managers based on the vacancies and recruit new managers for the Dust League. Once a league has everyone commit to play and stay active the entire season, move on to Step 2. (This would also be a good time to start your draft preparation analysis of players and to register at the Fantasy.premierleague.com fantasy football site. Step 2. Each league appoint or have a manager volunteer to be the Draft Commissioner. Duties: Collect the managers contact information, (phone, email, BigSoccer nickname, Team Name, Time Zone from which will draft, and any draft constraints by July 23. Commissioner uses a draft randomizer using manager's emails to develop draft order for the Odd numbered rounds. Commissioner determines a draft start date for his/her league that takes into account the availability of the managers. The first match is Aug 13, Backing off two weeks means each league should start the GoSlow phase of their draft around July 30. Then, if the draft goes real slow, there can be a Go Fast phase with 1 hour between picks to complete the draft no later than Aug 10. This will allow time for the First-Come, First- Served Post-Draft Squad Adjustments 24 hours after the last pick made in the draft and still before the first match on Aug 13. Step 3. The Draft Commissioner becomes the League Admin for the season. Create the respective 2016-17 All Rocks League and invite the other managers to join. Step 4. I'll create the All Rocks 2016-17 League and send out invitations to all 32 managers. Request each league draft commissioner send me the emails of its managers so I can send them invites to join the All Rocks 2016-17 League. We all join this league so there is a common place where we can get all the GW scores of All Rocks Teams for the many Inter and Intra League Cup Competitions we hold throughout the year.
