    Will Teddy's value in the database skyrocket when he becomes eligible for early retirement and a pension mid-season? ;)

    Good pick with Ellington too... I was going to swoop for him but decided against it. Its true these strikers from newly promoted teams can rise in value... Andy Johnson being the prime example. of course, for every Johnson there is a Kanu :eek:

    Alright guys I am out... I assume since Michel is asleep and wont be coming back until tomorrow that I wont be drafting anymore.

    I have a 9-11am meeting and should be back in the office after that to wrap up my picks, hopefully around noon.

    I have Jay and Andrew's proxy picks, so it should get back to you quickly.

    Hal, please review what can be expected post-draft. Is it up to the leagues? Are there time limits or constraints? A lot of discussion about this in VSR a few days ago.

    Thanks.

    1. If someone is in the database, they are elligible to be drafted.

    2. After the draft is complete, the League Administrator specifies when the free agent pool is open for post-draft adjustments to your team.

    3. The League administrator should allow a little bit of time for everyone to load up their drafted teams into their teams at fantasy.premierleague.com.

    4. Typically, and this is what Small Rocks will do, we open up the free agent pool at the time of the first nightly database update after the draft is completed. For us, that will probably be for tomorrow's database update about 5 PM EDT I think. It was just updated for today with Davids being the big new player.

    It's good policy to update your team on fantasy.premierleague.com as you go along.

    Of course, I agree, Michel.

    I do and I'm sure most of the veteran managers do as well.

    But the third league is a bunch of newbies to this draft and just got organized. I didn't want to make it too complicated. LOL :)

    I also have a To be opened only if Jonathan picks quickly proxy pick from Mark.

    Alas, I fear Jonathan's sign off was for real and, according to his sign out, he won't be back for 10-12 hours.

    Guess we'll wrap this up tomorrow.

    Off for the train.

    I'll still try to check when I get home in case MtKillamanjohno makes his picks.

    10-12 hours will miss my wake up in 6 hours.... but I'll check in then all the same.

    After that, I'll be online again in about 18-20 hours.

    I didn't know there was such a League Administrator feature. Gonna go look cause that would be cool. Of course, though, I wouldn't be able to use it for ethical reasons. :D

    Stealing a few quick minutes online.

    Hal, I will have my phone on from 10am ET to about 3:30pm ET tomorrow! Only an hour layover so really won't have access after that until Friday morning (approx 7am ET), at which point in time I will be back online and availalbe to complete things on my own if things are still going by then.

    good luck everyone as we all know these last few rounds "this is where the draft is won and lost" :D
