Sebowski is West Coast so he's on the clock until 4:54 PDT.

The clock is off after that. I think Moe is Central Time. Don't know if anybody after him is Pacific (except for me).

8.14 Ryan Taylor, DEF, Newcastle - 5.59.01 Adam Lallana, MID, Southampton - 6.0

That's the 4th time you have nabbed a prospective pick. I suppose it goes without saying that I think you are building a good team.

Thx. Lallana or Taylor?

Lallana. I'm not convinced Taylor will start over Santon and I think his stint at midfield may be sporadic. If he does end up in the midfield though he will be an awesome pick.The one that hurt was Pienaar. I would have taken him over Walters, but I thought he might slip as his stats don't look good and the transfer was still up in the air. I knew Walters wouldn't slip.For some reason there hasn't been a big run on midfielders yet. There are quite a few good ones still available.

Santon's bee seeing a lot of time at RB, which opens up Taylor for LB. I think he showed enough last year that he's going to make his way into most XI's.

Santon can play either side. He played on the left last year which pushed Taylor up. I was actually looking to grab Coloccini because he's really the only sure-fire starter, but he went right before my pick.

I want to throw a minor rules change/clarification out there. Here's what the OP says now:

3. Any player in the world of soccer is eligible to be drafted. You're free to speculate on transfer rumors to your heart's content. Pricing will be determined by the official site. You're still bound by the salary cap and the maximum players per EPL team rules.3a. If any players you drafted aren't in the site database by Aug 17th (the Friday before game week one), you must replace them with someone from the site database and relinquish exclusive rights to the drafted player.4. All undrafted players eligible for transfers throughout the season. Multiple teams can have the same undrafted player on their roster.5. All transfers must observe the standard site rules apply (£100M salary cap, 3 players per EPL team, one free transfer/week, second transfer comes with a points penalty)6. Before game week one, if a player is officially transferred out of the Premier League or if a team has more than three players from an EPL team because of a transfer , the owner will be allowed to replace that player with a supplemental draft pick after the completion of round #15. Draft order will be run in the order of the player dropped. Supplemental draft eligibility is the same as the original player draft. No supplemental picks can be made in the case of injury.

I originally said replacement picks under rule 3a would be exclusive property of the drafting team, but that doesn't seem fair. I want to avoid the possibility of owners tanking picks in order to upgrade them to late EPL arrivals on Aug 17th (we're at the stage of the draft where it crossed my mind). You're still welcome to pick somebody not in the league and if they're in the database by the deadline, they're yours for the season. But if you have to replace the original pick, the new players will be eligible for cloning starting with game week 2.I'm the only person who has made a speculative pick so far but I wanted to clarify this now to avoid arguments later. Anybody disagree or have questions?

If the player you draft isn't in the database by Aug 17th, would you get exclusive rights to the player you pick up.

nope

 

[AcerFC]

I don't know. I see it as of a team wants to take a chance, why penalise them.

 

[Christo]

I don't know. I see it as of a team wants to take a chance, why penalise them.

Being penalized is part of taking the chance. Otherwise, you aren't really taking a chance. Look at it another way. If you take a chance on a player, why should you be rewarded (by being able to protect another player) if the chance doesn't pan out.

Only question I have is how are we going to keep track of all of this 5 months from now? Is there going to be a review board for every transfer to make sure one of these rules was not broken? I am assuming the software is not going to be smart enough to handle this level of intricacy.

Ok. Guess I better keep this draft handy. This is going to be tricky late in the season after a bunch of transfers have happened.

We did fine last year. The only real rule we have to track is that drafted players who are on week one rosters are protected.

There really weren't a lot of problems last year. Sparty lost 3 points but that was due to the game week 1 website problems. A couple of teams fielded illegal players for a week but they didn't effect the outcome of the H2H matchup. Sessegnon's accent grave caused problems at least twice.

Sorry, I might be dense here by why would you be searching for him? I assume he was drafted last year. Was he dropped and then picked up again which caused the issues?

Remember you can transfer in any undrafted player throughout the season. People checking the thread or the Google doc to see if Sessegnon was available came up with no exact matches because of the accent grave. I had drafted him in the 2011 draft.

Gotcha. That makes sense. Every time you want to transfer you first need to check the master list of drafted players to make sure player is not protected.

What happens to a player that was drafted, but is at some future time dropped? Do they become an undrafted player (everybody can pick them up) or do they become a singular free agent (one person can pick them up). I suppose they could also become essentially a dead player.

He went undrafted. Maybe we all stunk last year? ETA: Nevermind, Eeph had him. I'm in a tizzy tonight.

7. Rights to players selected in the pre-season draft belong to the selecting team for the entire season. They cannot be added by any other team during the season even if the player is dropped by the team that originally drafted him.

I dropped and added Bobby Zamora three times last year

I want to throw a minor rules change/clarification out there. Here's what the OP says now:

3. Any player in the world of soccer is eligible to be drafted. You're free to speculate on transfer rumors to your heart's content. Pricing will be determined by the official site. You're still bound by the salary cap and the maximum players per EPL team rules.3a. If any players you drafted aren't in the site database by Aug 17th (the Friday before game week one), you must replace them with someone from the site database and relinquish exclusive rights to the drafted player.4. All undrafted players eligible for transfers throughout the season. Multiple teams can have the same undrafted player on their roster.5. All transfers must observe the standard site rules apply (£100M salary cap, 3 players per EPL team, one free transfer/week, second transfer comes with a points penalty)6. Before game week one, if a player is officially transferred out of the Premier League or if a team has more than three players from an EPL team because of a transfer , the owner will be allowed to replace that player with a supplemental draft pick after the completion of round #15. Draft order will be run in the order of the player dropped. Supplemental draft eligibility is the same as the original player draft. No supplemental picks can be made in the case of injury.

I originally said replacement picks under rule 3a would be exclusive property of the drafting team, but that doesn't seem fair. I want to avoid the possibility of owners tanking picks in order to upgrade them to late EPL arrivals on Aug 17th (we're at the stage of the draft where it crossed my mind). You're still welcome to pick somebody not in the league and if they're in the database by the deadline, they're yours for the season. But if you have to replace the original pick, the new players will be eligible for cloning starting with game week 2.I'm the only person who has made a speculative pick so far but I wanted to clarify this now to avoid arguments later. Anybody disagree or have questions?

Only question I have is how are we going to keep track of all of this 5 months from now? Is there going to be a review board for every transfer to make sure one of these rules was not broken? I am assuming the software is not going to be smart enough to handle this level of intricacy.

Make each person responsible for policing their opponent for that week.

Ok. Guess I better keep this draft handy. This is going to be tricky late in the season after a bunch of transfers have happened.

The house rules aren't that complicated. If you draft 'em, they're all yours. If you don't, they're not.If you haven't played the FPL salary cap game before, you should make sure you understand the site rules regarding scoring, transfers, player values and the wild cards. http://fantasy.premierleague.com/rules/

I understand how transfers point deductions work when you have a seasonal cumulative score. How are they handled on a weekly head 2head basis?

First transfer every week is free, every transfer after that costs 4 points for that round. You can obviously still take a penalty and win during a given week.The bad news for you guys is that it's being reported that Juve is willing to offer a 20mm transfer fee and 190K a week AFTER taxes for RVP. The good news is that it's in The Mirror...

It is like an ultra slow guillotine. I wish it would just drop . At least we will have a ton of money to play with for an expensive player during the winter transfer period if any come in (trying to find any silver lining here . )
