Lets slow down a sec while we figure out where @gianmarco is going to slot into the draft. And also lets finalize any scoring changes before we get too far into the draft.

Well, I think it has a more direct correlation to on-field contributions than GA. Keeper who has a howler negatively impacts the entire defense, even though they did their job. Same with conceding PK goals, or even most goals where 1 defender makes a mistake, and they all pay the price. At least with tackles and interceptions, the players have a specific individual contribution to the overall defense.

This is going to be like a PPR debate, innit?
"He caught the ball for negative yards and he gets a point????"
I guess for me, I just like that everyone starts with 2 points for staring the game, then positive contributions should be rewarded, and negative contributions should be punished. For defender, whose main job is to protect the goal, there are currently no points awarded for doing that job effectively. Keepers at least get points for saves - which would be similar to tackles and interceptions for outfield players.

Like yellow cards??!
I should have lobbied to just remove yellow card scoring and just leave negative scoring for reds.

I think I deleted your team earlier, so you may have to re-sign up for the league.

If FreeBe takes the guy I want in the pick after his pick, it'll be Angry Klopp time.

I say slot Gian in now at 1.8. It's not going to make a huge difference either way, and the first six picks had already been made by the time he rolled. Now if he wants Firmino (lol), who was picked after he rolled, then he can have him at 1.7 and take that slot for the rest of the draft.
I like the scoring changes but am a little ignorant as to how exactly they would impact things (fantrax is blocked at work). Don't care either way. It's time for an executive decision though.

Ok - executive decision time it is.
We will slot @gianmarco in at the 1.8 slot in the draft, and bump everyone else down one slot.
Lets go ahead and implement the scoring changes, including adding the 0.1 for tackles and interceptions - with apologies to @Eephus who is already operating at a handicap being a left coaster and not able to take full advantage of the line-up deadlines we implemented last season.
so, with, 1.8 Gianmarco takes........
Romelu Lukaku - F - Everton/Chelsea

I will get a google spreadsheet started tonight, and will try to keep the 2nd post updated through the draft.
Quick reminder on drafting rules, since we have a few new players this season.
During the draft, you can select players who are currently not in the league - i.e. Pogba is available to be drafted right now. There is no limit on the number of non-league players you can draft. But, once the draft is complete, nobody can be picked up unless/until they are in the Fantrax database - usually a day or so after they sign with a PL team. Those players who are added to the database will have to clear waivers before they are eligible to be picked up as FAs.
Waivers - we run weekly waivers based on the reverse order of the current draft order. When you make a waiver claim, you move to the back of the list.
You can trade players and/or picks.
We don't have a time limit on picks yet, but since we got started a little late, we may have to look at that later. When you make your pick, please try to remember to mention the person drafting behind you so that they get a message.

Try now.
Blend was still listed as an owner. Hopefully, this is the last of the old owners - I can see email addresses, but its not easy to match to FBG usernames.
