GPJ wants Doni, Liverpool GK

 

[Good Posting Judge]

$100 on the dot, if Sahin comes in at 7.5. If not, I guess Doni becomes community property.

 

[doowain]

For gianmarco:

Steve Harper, GK, NewCastle

 

[azgroover]

I actually needed a MID unlike the post above indicates.

With that said, I take:

Chris Herd (whoever the F he is), MID, AVL, 4.5

I'd welcome that. The internet says he's a good youngster.

Like someone said earlier, guys who went undrafted are going to play pivotal roles this year. It's just as likely this guy does it as anyone else. My first and second rounders last year (Nani & Bent) had injuries and undrafted players kept me in the hunt up until about the last 4-5 weeks of the season. 38 weeks is a long time.

Hopefully. Being the noob I am, outside of the top picks, if they weren't pivotal players in Euro12 or 2010 World Cup, I've not heard of most of the guys on my team. I need a stroke of good luck to stay in the thick of things in my inaugural season.ETA: my draft strategy below:

1. How much money do I have left?

2. Who's the most expensive player available of positions I need? He must be good.

3. Does Google News make mention of a possible transfer/injury?

4. If "no" on #3, select player

Teams have until Monday 1:00 PM EST to make their 15th round pick. Any selections made after that time will be clone-eligible in week 2 and beyond.

 

[Sebowski]

We're just waiting on jonessed, right? He should pick today like the rest of us.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Kickoff in 15 days!

There are pretty decent updates on the site itself re: injuries.

I think it's fair to give him a chance in case he's away for the weekend or something. There's only so much gamesmanship possible when you're picking the 28th best goalkeeper in the Premiership.

How do we handle potential transfer picks on our roster (ie, sneijder and kaka for me) ?

I was thinking at this point he would be better off waiting as long as possible to see if someone transfers in by Monday. But you're right, not too bog a deal.

I just put in a placeholder for Sahin. I think it was Gervinho. Plenty of time to get things straight before the league starts.

Place holder makes sense but why not choose a player that is not protected since that is what you will need if the player does not transfer.

It doesn't really matter. That I just stuck Gervinho in my lineup doesn't preclude Gervinho's rightful owner from putting him in his lineup.

I used Maiga as a placeholder for Fletcher since that's the undrafted player I'll probably use.I used some other Arsenal midfielder as a plug for Cazorla

That makes the most sense. Much less chance of rosters getting screwed up in case someone can't get back to fix it for what ever reason.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to get your filthy hands off my Gervinho

 

[charvik]

We are registered and rostered... Should be in the leeg as well.

Charvik, TRE, Tup = Chat Superteam

 

[NewlyRetired]

You could put together a pretty solid real life midfield just from the undrafted Chelsea midfielders.

Malouda, Essien, Meireles, Benayoun, De Bruyne

Spreadsheet has been locked. PM me if you need access.

Thanks! I did an update to it this morning.It is pretty much 99% complete. Just need Jonessed pick and then to resolve the speculative picks once they are settled.

 

[50orBust]

We're allowed on Russian wild card, right?

Is there an actual supplemental draft or does it just take place from here until week 1 if a player is transferred out? Also, are supplemental draft picks considered exclusive?

The draft is over. There is no supplemental draft. I'll post a list of the spec picks who aren't in the FPL database next Friday. Owners of those players must replace them with an available player in time for game week 1. Since the replacements aren't exclusive, there's no need for a draft.All of the replacement players (and the ineligible drafted players if they transfer in after Aug 17) may be used by any team throughout the season.

I was referring to this rule you have listed in the 2nd post of this thread:"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."What you described above is for a speculation pick (i.e. DeBuchy for me). I'm asking about the situation that I might have with A. Song if he's transferred out which refers to the rule I quoted. So there's no supplemental draft per se, I just replace him once he gets transferred out? But, despite being a "supplemental pick", he'd still be available to everyone?

Sorry. I didn't update that part of the OP when we decided to make the replacement picks non-exclusive.

When does the transfer window close?

Still nothing official on Van Persie or Modric.

Van Persie has now joined Arsenal in training and the rumors are that he may stay.

AVB has asked Modric to not train with the team in anticipation he will leave soon.

How we handling waivers before August 18th?I just make a post on who I want and who I will release ?

The only players who can be released are:1. speculative picks who aren't in the FPL database (Kaka & Sneijder in your case)2. if an real-life transfer puts you over the three player per EPL team limitSince the replacements aren't exclusive, you can make the changes on the FPL site whenever you want. Posting here is optional. Just make sure you have a valid team for game week 1.

Sure but that's not as critical because they're in the database and you can field a legal lineup using them.
