    I posted info on a Denis Horan, team name Dens Daredevls, who sent me a BigSoccer Conversation on June 2 expressing interest in joining our Rocks drafted leagues. Who is the Dust League administrator? Please PM, I mean, invite me to a conversation with your contact info and I'll forward you the email contact info for Denis. He should be placed wherever Jun 2 ranks among other aspiring Dust League aspirants.

    I am happy to help them out with Google Docs, setting up draft etc, but cannot create League on FPL as that would put me in the League. I will get Keyser Soze to create the Leagues and get me the codes. I can then distribute by email if you pass me the email addresses.

    This Denis chap is already in the League... and they are still 2 short of the 8. Do they run with 6 or wait for Mr 7 and Mr 8 ?

    These were posted earlier on the "Intent" thread. bobfest, bobfest@yahoo.com; thezaruz, mrwallin@airport.net; Denis, horandenis@gmail.com.

    The issue to go with a short league or try add to the existing leagues has come up several time over the years. As usual, nothing gets "decided," but generally there is no appetite for a league over 8. Game is tough enough as it is. Having one league with fewer participants would seem to impact the inter-league competitions. I say, "go with what you've got."

    I'm in. When is the draft?
    You've obviously never been to New Jersey.

    I strongly recommend recruiting two more managers so Dust will also be a League of 8.

    You have a little over a week until the drafts typically start to find two more fantasy soccer managers willing to commit to stay active the entire season.

    I agree, but there are only 6 managers from Dust and we already have 2 from EST USA, 2 from OZ and 1 from each of Ireland & Sweden. It is like the Olympics! This draft will take a while so I say we aim for a August 3 start date, no matter how many managers we have by then.

    I now have all managers email except lolshorts (which reminds me I need to give him mine). I will get Google Docs Draft Sheet set up and emailed to all managers today.

    I also have a Player List as of yesterday in Excel format if anyone wants it emailed for use in other documents or to prepare the draft. I have not converted to a Google Doc yet.

    I'll repost my info just to keep it handy.


    I will have spotty internet access between 3rd and 6th of august but after that I should be available quite a lot. If I end up slowing us down in in the beginning of the draft I'll make a pre-rank that you can use to auto pick from.

    Sorry guys but I am pulling out of the league. I know this sounds silly seeing as the league has yet to start. I have to leave the country from next week and I will not be back before the start of the season. I will unfortunately not have internet access. I sincerely hope you guys get on well with the league and I apologise for any inconvinience caused. I will join next season for definite.
    Sorry,
    Denis.

    I have "Conversationed" Denis and told him I can do his Draft for him if he wants to give me a Player List/Strategy and he can take over when he gets back.. at least he will be in the League.

    We still need 2 more here... I have set up League Code and Google Docs Sheets, I will disburse to these 6 Managers now and hopefully 2 more join up o_O

    Denis Horan is going to stick, so we now have 8. We may get the draft started soon so Denis can at least get some picks in before he goes, then he can hand over his Draft List to me.

    I still need email addreesses from:
    • lolshorts
    • Sonabert
    ...then we can get underway...

    Also can I get everyone to jump on the Google Docs Draft Sheet and fill in your team name if it is not there already :)

    Google docs??? Have I missed a link?
    But if you are going to do that then might as well change my e-mail to "thezzaruz(at)gmail.com", that way I'll get the info at the same place as I view the doc.

    A "proxy" can be used. I can help.

    As you have a chance to see the draft unfold, with limited access, you forward a list of players, in order, to the proxy. If your turn is 4 away, then send 5 players. Or a larger list as you see necessary. This becomes more difficult as "bankroll" becomes an issue, but with some access you can begin to see when you are running out of money, and the list ends up being a bunch of 4.0 defenders, and the like.​
    I will start a conversation, a reasonable way to communicate, and include my email, as that can be better for some.​

    Cheers Bob, but Dennis is staying in so we now have the 8 I believe.

    Keep your mates on ice though in case we have someone pull a hammy!
