[Bonzai]

Tim Krul - GK - Newcastle

Jefferson Montero - MF - Swansea

The colors are very nice but please remember your commissioner still thinks Adam Johnson plays for Man City.

Jefferson Montero may be a SUV for all I know.

Noted.

And before anyone else notices, yes we are trying to recreate our World Cup squad.

Dutch forward - check

German MF - check

Both Ecuadoran wingers - check and check

Token Brazilian - check

All we need now is for Wright Thompson to write another story about Bosnian FW we only vaguely heard of previously but whose back story and war torn childhood are pretty much the main reason we drafted him. Yep, if we had that we could ride this draft strategy all the way to the top (at 1st at least then we will most likely fade down the stretch and finish out of the money).

Sounds rock solid to me.

 

[Christo]

I'm here, will pick after Eephus. Don't start skipping me until tomorrow.

I will try to send lists to you and Gator for odd and even rounds respectively but if either of you are up and don't have a list from me just go ahead and pick. I'll make my selection up when I get a chance.

Sorry again for this morning fellas.

We should probably just assume Sebowski is not going to be awake in the next two hours, no?

A couple of more questions - looking at the fantrax site, it looks like line-up changes can happen anytime up until 1-hour before the first match of the day - I assume this is each physical day.

Any reason why line-up changes would not have a closer deadline to the time each player plays - line-ups are not usually announced much before an hour before kick-off, and if you have a player playing a later game, seems like you are SOL with this set-up.

There is definitely a benefit to having players that are consistent starters.

even consistent starters get rotated at the MF and Fwd positions on occasion. The guys who are rotated are easier to predict because you can see who played the mid-week game and determine how likely they are to play in the league. Not sure why we would not want to adjust line-ups up until game time - or, just set line-ups on friday for the upcoming week. Allowing for changes to teams that play the first game of the week, seems to be an arbitrary cut-off, that will benefit some teams.

That a fantrax thing, iirc. Not an option Eephus has to change

* The only time that transactions can take effect for the same period is if your league uses Daily lineup periods when lineups are locked at a Set amount of time before each player's game of the day, and the transactions only include players whose games haven't yet started that day.

Our rules look set to lock 1-hour prior to the first kick-off each day rather than say, "30 minutes before each player's game of the day".

 

[The Gator]

Ooooh, that seems like it'll fix what we disliked about last year's settings.

That would be a lot better.

 

[Moe.]

Our cfb league (also at fantrax) allows for each player to lock at his individual gametime. If that's an option for epl leagues it is a no-brainer IMO.

I will change the deadline from the first game of the gameweek to before the start of each game.

I am going to leave the interval at one hour though in order to be fair to West Coast people who would rather sleep in than check Twitter Saturdays at 4AM. I'm also probably going to move the waivers processing time forward by three hours on Thursday night to be fair to East Coast teams that want to add FAs without affecting their waivers position.

Our picks are locked and loaded. READY!

 

[The Gator]

Lamela, Spurs, M

Gone

 

[gianmarco]

Lamela, Spurs, M

He was only taken in the 3rd round. But good try

 

[Sinn Fein]

Lamela, Spurs, M

Fantastic pick mate, he is going to have a massive season for Spurs!

 

[shader]

sorry guys

 

[shader]

Well I have to leave for lunch, and I don't have time to research. So since I need a defender, back to the pool:

Sakho, D, LIVERPOOL

 

[Sinn Fein]

sorry guys

no worries - I am sure I over-reached for him, but would have been kicking myself when someone else was cashing in on his break-out season.

 

[shader]

Yeah, I was researching him and wondering how in the heck he had fallen to me this late.

It gives East Coasters a pretty big advantage. I'm never enthusiastic about changing rules in the middle of a draft.

I'm on the west coast and love it. Not everyone out here sleeps in until noon....

Btw, you're up to pick.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Lineups are typically released ~1 hour before kick though, right? Does having to have players locked in an hour before the draft really help?

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I take it as a point of pride that I play most fantasy sports without entirely understanding the league rules.
