***EPL 2016-17 Fantasy League*** League is set - Good Luck! (1 Viewer)

Is rotowire the way to go or is there a better resource for seeing who is starting for their teams each week?  Compared to fantasy American football/baseball/basketball I've found fantasy info for the EPL on the net very hard to come by.

None of that stuff is reliable. The best and really only way is to check lineups one hour before gametime. The way to do that is check the team's Twitter page.

I'll echo this - with the caveat that I will generally just go to ESPN and pull up the game links an hour before kick-off - they generally have the line-up in as soon as the embargo is lifted.

West Coast rules

Just stay up...really late...

I will offer to any Left Coasters - if you have players in the first game of the day (any that start before 7:00 local time) - if you send me an "If X, then Y" list, the night before, I will make the changes manually.

 
On a serious note, I'd like to thank @Sinn Fein for running the draft and league. Also, a shout out to @Eephus who also makes contributions to how the league is handled. Last, but, not least, thanks to @Christo for being the league treasurer.

This league is far more challenging than gridiron football leagues, and, if you finish at the front, you've earned it. Best wishes to all of you guys this season. :thanks:

Don't forget to thank me for joining last minute and whining and fixing the ####ty rules as a result.

 
Quick update - when I was first entering the players into the league, I did use a proxy for Pogba on Jmons team - I added Schweinsteiger to Jmon's roster.  Then when I added Pogba, I did not delete Schweinsteiger

Today, Jmon dropped Schweinsteiger for Matt Targett - this puts him over the roster limit.  I am going to reverse the transaction - unless Jmon wants to drop one of his non-league players.  I have sent a PM, and put a notice up on the league site for Jmon to respond.

 
so yeah, basically my entire team is injured, suspended, resting post-Euros or sitting in anticipation of a possible transfer.

Sweet drafting by me.

 
Nevermind, you can.  I think it was just too close to start time when I tried to do it for those players.  Stupid left coast. I'm going to be better than this.

In the spirit of making things somewhat fair(don't want to win because of West Coast nonsense in week 1) , @Sinn Fein can amend your lineup to plug in Arnautovic, Vertonghen and Gomes (assuming those are the 3 you would have started at your empty spots) if the system allows it and nobody has any objection.

 
I can't tell you guys how disappointed I am that, "Beyond The Pitch - Match Day," is no longer on SXM FC 85. My favorite in season show, far and away. :rant:

 
Fantasy leagues: Providing the crisis of conscience that arises when your favorite team (Liverpool) is facing the team whose owner you'd love to run over repeatedly with a truck (Arsenal), but your two key players are on the team you hate and you have none from the team you love. :unsure:

Just think, this is only the first of two.

I think they have a podcast, no?

Dropping Martin Odegaard for XXXXX since Real thinks sending Martin to France (Rennes) is wiser than sending him to a top-half EPL team (Liverpool/West Ham). :hot: :hot:

I see your edit...yes, you can make a claim without dropping a player now.  But, it has to go through waivers - or you can wait for FA claims - but I'd delete you post, because I suspect the player may be a popular choice this week.

Odegaard is Odegone
