Here we go! Once the draft begins let's move all discussions to here and retire the organizing thread. Appropriate decorum is requested. As per usual norms, please keep the discourse at a good natured level. I will begin the draft Monday evening (technically Tuesday Aug 6 in Tangerland). I am not very adept at how to freeze or capture the player list and if someone will do so it would be appreciated. Please remember also add to your picks to the Google Doc. sheet that Journey so kindly set up for us. Good luck to all!
Can you send the link to the Google sheet? Also, feel free to pick Haaland now and get this thing going.
Feeling the pressure to get started since pick #1 is a bit of a no brainer. I've decided to be "helpful" and take the highest priced player off the board to help you manage your team financials. No need to thank me. We are off and running. If you do not have access to the Google Docs VSR sheet please let me know and I'll send the link. I believe Journey sent one out to everybody through their emails. We've worked out our end of the draft to use text messages to move the draft along. Some of you mentioned What'sApp. I encourage you to choose what works best for yourselves. Good luck everybody!
just a heads-up: I'll be posting my and Borussia DaMarcus's picks together since we're consecutive and live in the same house.
Are we expecting Morning Glory to draft today? I am ready to go any time, and I know Dreamland is aware that things have started.
I've sent Tangers an email letting him know we are drafting and he is up. Now is a good time to figure out the best ways to stay in touch with the folks picking on either side of you so we can gain a little momentum over the following days.
It looks like we have slogged our way through another productive day. We are over halfway. I'm starting to think VSR stands for Vastly Superior Rocks! Again, well done.
As we come to the end of the draft this might be a good time to discuss when to open the transfer window. We have often used 24 hours from the last pick as the moment the window begins. I am open to choosing a time that works for all. Once the last choice is recorded lets determine a fair time to open transfers. As for me, my team is so good I can't possibly make it better so I am likely stand by and watch the action from the sidelines. Not to jinx anything by jumping the gun but this has been a very smooth draft. Kudos (or Kudus?) to everyone for getting VSR off to a great start! I will open a transfer thread once we settle on a time.
Doesn't matter too too much, but it should probably open some time that is normal waking hours for all. Like between 8am-12pm PT / 11am-3pm ET / 4pm-8pm UK (if I'm doing time right ha).
I added a Taken Players tab to the spreadsheet. Those of you that have been in Sand either of the last two years will recognize it. You can use the different colored buttons to the right of the array to sort it in various ways. The data used in this tab is auto-populated from the data in the Squads tab, so please don't input or change the data on the Taken Players tab when you make transfers (whatever you do in Squads will already be reflected in Taken Players). Let me know if the buttons aren't working or if you want new buttons/functionality/etc. Hopefully this tab is helpful for all.
I propose we open the transfer window at 5PM UK/ 12pm ET/ 11AM CT/ 9AM PT For tomorrow , Sun 8/11 Yes? No? Maybe? Speak now or we will make it so.
Not sure where to post this. I made a transfer pre GW1 deadline Szoboszlai out / Kamada in I didn’t make the transfer on my team. So my team has 6 more points than it should I’ll use a transfer this week to ensure my team is correct
