[Steve Tasker]

I do not think I will be here at 7 PM tomorrow, but I'll be back by 8 or 9. Regardless, waivers will work as follows:

EVERY team must post in this thread its cuts before 7 PM. If your cuts are not in by 7 PM, your team will automatically release its low-scoring player at the requisite position.

Waiver will go worst-to-first, NON-serpentine, per Boub's scoring totals. The timer will be 20 minutes per pick. I will be around for most of the evening around 8 PM ET or so, so I can handle things then. We will re-evaluate where we are around 11 PM.

If worst comes to worst, we will have a free-for-all pick period early on Saturday morning - first game is at 10 AM, right?

I'll get my cuts in, but I may not be back home by 8pm tonight. Can I send you a list of choices for the DF and MF I'll need to select? I can prioritize positions and players.

 

[boubucarow]

I will triple check all the scores and have them posted ASAP after the afternoon matches today.

 

[boubucarow]

What I have right now....

TLEF/Bonzai 185

Derek 172

Steve Tasker 165

Kupcho 156

BoubucarOw 154

Cheese 148

Cletius Maximus 142

Sebowski 135

Mr. Yuk 113

PIK95 112

Z Machine 99

Detroit Fan 94

Jmon348 93

Fear the Turtle 92

I will try and check over things again and if any of you see any issues, post your scores and I will cross check it. Kupcho, it seems that the Webo to Eto'o pass for the goal against Denmark isn't an assist anymore on FIFA when I swear it was before. Just letting you know.

 

[Mr. Yuk]

7 EST?

 

[boubucarow]

7 EST?

YES

 

[Steve Tasker]

Please PM your cut list to several players, not just me. There's a good chance I will not be here by the start of the "mini-draft" tonight.

[Steve Tasker]

Pending the result of Switzerland's game this afternoon, I will need to release a striker. In the event that Switzerland are eliminated, Frei will be released. Should Switzerland qualify for the next round, I will make my decision and either post it here or text Boub/Derek

Pretty straight-forward moves for me...

 

[derek245583]

I am going to be watching the Spain game on tape delay after work....But I have a question...

Lets say I have enough to have an active roster right now after the group stages 4-4-2.

I wanna see what I will have available once my turn comes up in the mini draft. Can I do that or do I have to cut now and pretty much set myself for the draft??

You have to have the cuts in before 7 PM so that everyone knows who is available.

 

[derek245583]

Active Roster for the Knockout Stages:

Tim Howard

Martin Skrtel

Arturo Vidal

Denis Caniza

Steven Gerrard

Elano

Luis Fabiano

Dirk Kuyt

IF Chile doesnt advance, then I gotta cut Vidal as well and pick 4 guys. If they make it, then I only have to pick a DF and 2 MF'ers

 

[derek245583]

So I am cutting:

Guillermo Ochoa

Nemanja Vidic

Stephane Mbia

Andre Ooijer

Tim Cahill

Kalu Uche

Yaya Toure

Robert Koren

Cacau

Niklas Bendtner

Actually, I think if Chile doesnt advance I have to keep Ooijer (Netherlands) and still pick 1 DF and 2 MF'ers

 

[derek245583]

Every single striker and MF on my squad scored at least 1 goal!!!

WOW

 

[The Z Machine]

Every single striker and MF on my squad scored at least 1 goal!!!WOW

I hate you and your team.

DF - Gianluca Zambrotta, Italy

DF - Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Netherlands

DF - Ricardo Carvalho, Portugal

DF - Emmanuel Eboue, Ivory Coast

MF - Sebastian Eguren, Uruguay

ST - Wayne Rooney, England

ST - Antonio Di Natale, Italy - Only player I have that has scored, and he's eliminated.

ST - Carlos Vela, Mexico

ST - Humberto Suazo, Chile

Here are the players I'm putting on the waiver list which play on teams that have advanced:

MF - Piotr Trochowski, Germany

MF - Shunsuke Nakamura, Japan

GK - Robert Green, England

DF - Jonny Magallon, Mexico

ST - Carlos Vela, Mexico

ST - Humberto Suazo, Chile

I will be picking up a DF and an ST.

 

[cheese]

I don't have anyone in the last group so I will make this easy on everyone. I will keep all of my players who are still left. I will cut everyone else.

That leaves 1 open DF and 1 open MF. Don't bother looking at my team for guys to pick up, the rest are eliminated.

 

[boubucarow]

I won't be here for the start of the waiver draft and probably throughout most of it.

 

[kupcho1]

I'm going to drop GK Villar (Paraguay). Basically a coin flip. Portugal hasn't given up a goal, but will face a likely tougher opponent first game. Paraguay will likely get by Japan but the whole side of that bracket is brutal. Coin flip.

I won't list the rest of the "drops" since they are on eliminated teams. Can other teams do this as well? It will make sorting through available players easier.

I need 1 DF and 1 MF assuming Chile moves on. If they don't I'll need 2DF, 1 MF and 1 ST.

Who (in addition to Tasker) should I PM a FA list to? I will not be home until 9 or 10 tonight probably.

 

[kupcho1]

I will try and check over things again and if any of you see any issues, post your scores and I will cross check it. Kupcho, it seems that the Webo to Eto'o pass for the goal against Denmark isn't an assist anymore on FIFA when I swear it was before. Just letting you know.

I know it was there, I had it as well. I guess we'll just see if it makes a reappearance.

 

[Bonzai]

What do you think, TLEF?

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Unfortunately, this is bad timing for me this evening, so I am going to dance wit the girls who brung me this far(no pick-ups):

drops:

GK - Thomas Sorensen, Denmark

DF - Nicolas Otamendi, Argentina

DF - Efrain Juarez, Mexico

MF - Daniele de Rossi, Italy

MF - Nenad Milijas, Serbia

ST - Katlego Mphela, South Africa

ST - Roque Santa Cruz, Paraguay

holds:

GK - Manuel Neuer, Germany

DF - Maicon, Brazil

DF - John Terry, England

DF - Holger Badstuber, Germany

DF - Carlos Bocanegra, United States

MF - Ramires, Brazil

MF - Andres Iniesta, Spain

MF - Joe Cole, England

MF - Felipe Melo, Brazil

ST - Diego Milito, Argentina

ST - Thomas Muller, Germany

I'll be very weak after Germany-England

Good luck everyone. This has been fun so far and thanks to the organizers.

 

[Mr. Yuk]

not sure what they need/who gets auto-dropped. DF has until 7:40 eastern

 

[Mr. Yuk]

there are some players there i might like...i don't have scoring though so i don't know who the 2 lowest are. boubacarow?

 

[Mr. Yuk]

I also need a ST, as I've cut both Vela and Suarez, who are now on the waiver wire.

are they both injured? good players.

 

[derek245583]

Wut is going on??

 

[Mr. Yuk]

Z machine is up.

 

[The Z Machine]

I also need a ST, as I've cut both Vela and Suarez, who are now on the waiver wire.

are they both injured? good players.

Vela is hurt and didn't play against Uruguay. Suarez played 45 minutes in 3 games, and didn't take the field against Spain. Neither has looked very good this tournament, and I need players that are clicking on all cylinders if I'm going to make up this huge gap.I still think I have very good players on my team and had a good draft. None of them stepped up though, and some players that I thought would start haven't seen much of the field (David Silva, Piotr Trochowski, Shunsuke Nakamura, and Antonio Di Natale). It's a tough thing to predict for some teams.

 

[The Z Machine]

So can I pick now?

 

[Mr. Yuk]

yes, go ahead

 

[The Z Machine]

Álvaro Pereira, DF, Uruguay

 

[Mr. Yuk]

Álvaro Pereira, DF, Uruguay

that was my pick lol

 

[Mr. Yuk]

i will go ahead and take

Diego Pérez, MF, Uruguay

i like their chances to make the final 4

 

[Mr. Yuk]

Fear the Turtle's pick would be:

Sarpei, DF, Ghana
