    Correct.

    Transfer window for our league will open 12 hours BEFORE the Fantasy Premier League roster deadline.

    It's too complicated to accurately figure out for the various time zones involved, so I would just recommend logging into the Fantasy Premier League website and noting what the roster deadline time listed is. Our transfer window will open 12 hours before that time.

    From the official website:
    You can make changes to your team right up until 08 Aug 11:45.
    This appears to be 1 hour prior to the kickoff of the first game on Saturday.

    12 hours before that, our transfer window will open, but you'll need to figure out what time that is in your specific time zone.

    Ok, I have signed up to the All rocks league on FPL and I've made my first 2 trades.

    Two questions:
    1. what's the protocol for making trades from here on in? Obviously we post them up on the FPL website and we update the google docs page , but do we post anything on Big Soccer?

    2. Last year one of the managers posted a lovely little ditty about the league, I was wondering if we were going to be treated this year again, Knobby P????? I dug it. Good way to start the comp with a little laugh at ourselves.

    1st up, are we just going to use this Thread moving forward for the jibber jabber for the season? I can't see why not, draft is over and everyone has access to this thread so let's just continue on here rather than making a new thread etc.

    The rules for trading are (and Hally @tjh71 , I have consulted my Mum on these rules are they are official ;))
    • Post Trade on FPL site forum - this step is mandatory , makes the trade legal
    • Change Google Doc (front page ONLY ) - forget the 2nd page Player List as that has NO chance of being maintained throughout the season... in fact I might just delete that page) - updating this is not mandatory but should be done as much as possible so we can keep track of who is who. If you CANNOT update the google doc, then don't be shy.... SAY SO . Write on here, or FPL forum that you didn't update the google doc and someone else will do it for you
    • Finally, post on here your trade only if you want to and wish to start some banter surrounding your genius/ crappy trade :p

    Ok, just for this league!

    Finally the draft is over
    the transfer scramble has begun
    when does the first game kick off?
    Is it 3pm or 1

    They never seem to organise
    Supporters have a right
    And now the bloody Premier League
    Plan games on Friday nights

    Newcastle now Have McLaren
    Will he move them up
    Frankly I don't care anymore
    Ive a defender who's called Schlupp!

    I already have three injuries
    My bench looks like an Emergency Room
    I need to make some transfers
    Sweep clean with a new broom

    So enjoy the season gentlemen
    The merry chaps of Sand
    And remember to update Google Docs
    Or you may risk being banned?

    Good luck guy's have a great season!

    Well that's the transfer window closed
    Frantic trading has been done
    The managers of Sand League
    Eagerly await game 1

    Have we chosen wisely?
    Only time will tell
    Will we top the Sand League
    or plummet into hell?

    Can anyone sink Bigger Boat?
    Heaven Only Knows,
    I hear there's been a flood of cash
    2 Dollars on Keyser Soze

    Was it Roman's Riches placed the bet?
    I know Guy is no dunce
    His only ambition in football
    Is finish higher than Wewunwunce

    Potomac Highlanders play it cool
    Not showing off there toys
    And will Irish eyes be smiling
    On results for Bally Boys?

    Bengiveth and Benteke
    hope not to need first aiders
    and finally, last but not least
    Is the team called Parraraiders

    Gentlemen I salute you
    Though we are a Motley Band
    Let the other All Rocks managers
    Fear the teams that come from SAND!

    I thank you!
