    I sent out the league code so if you didn't get it let me know.

    In the opening post I have added bigsoccer names so we know who is who and timezones based on last year. If any of that has changed let me know

    The other two leagues are starting on August 6 and 7. We have a variety of time zones to deal with so I am going to suggest Tuesday August 6 and Parraraiders can kick us off then.

    I will create a draft thread in the next day or so - that way you will know where to look next Tuesday.

    Will pick a few hours before Tuesday as I’m sure everyone knows my first pick. Just to get the ball rolling

    Hey all,
    Apologies for the late question. Can you remind me of the rules around player eligibility post-transfers? For example, what's the cutoff for recently signed players from foreign leagues, and if a player is not available for the draft, when can they be picked up after the draft ends?
    Thanks!

    If they are not in the official site with a price before the draft begins you cannot pick them. ONce the last pick is made in the 15th round any player in the official site database is available.

    The open season on transfers begins exactly 24 hours after the last pick is made (unless all 8 players agree to a different specific time).

    There will be a separate transfer thread for this and it will be first come first served using the thread here to post your transfers.

    Can I retract my savvy pick this morning of Alvarez, having then read that he was sold overnight to Atletico Madrid?

    We don’t usually allow that but how about when it comes back to you, you drop him and choose two players

    It's a strategy - worst part is trying to figure out who to start and who to bench!
