Sinn Fein 33,971 Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 Just an FYI - I re-ran waivers this morning as I noticed that all the Arsenal and Brighton players were not FAs - so I ran waivers to re-set everyone to FA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Over in a 12-team magic football league, I finished 7-6. 4th in Points For and 2nd in Points Against. This stuff is luck, just like most other ventures of this nature. Still better than magic football, though Edited December 7, 2019 by drunken slob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drunken slob 551 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) Another thought, do any of you guys have buyer's remorse about any of the draft picks you made and still have on your roster? For me, it's Moise Kean of Everton. I watched most, if not all, of his Juventus matches last season and was thrilled when he was loaned to the Toffies (pretty sure it's a loan with the option to buy, could be wrong). Dude has not performed at 1% of the level displayed last season. I'm going to hold onto him though. Hoping the light finally turns on in January/February and he comes good. Probably fool's gold, we'll see. Edited December 7, 2019 by drunken slob fixed "onto" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sinn Fein 33,971 Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 In consultation with nobody - the League office has decided to temporarily suspend operations. We will make a decision on the conclusion of the season in due course. Oddly enough, waivers will continue to run every Wednesday... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sinn Fein 33,971 Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 While we have a break in the action - any thoughts on how to wrap it up? Obviously a lot depends on how the PL decides to conclude the season. If they simply delay everything, its easy enough that we can delay as well. The trickier part will be if the PL decides to cut the season short. My first reaction was to just pay-out the places as they currently sit 1-4. But, this has been such a close race all season, that seems a little unfair to me. We have 10 teams within 1-game of the money, and within 3 games of 1st place overall. If we went with most points overall - top-3 would stay the same, but @TLEF316 would replace @Poke_4_Life at #4 The other alternative - and probably most fair - just call the season a wash, and either refund the money, or roll it over to 20/21 season. What are your thoughts? @McBokonon @JMon348 @Bonzai @Slapdash @Christo @Getzlaf15 @drunken slob @cheese @Moe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JMon348 252 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I've typed and erased several times. I don't know, nothing seems fair. I guess my vote would be full refund for all teams, but that's screwing teams and rewarding those who quit early. No right answer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moe. 1,988 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Assuming they cancel the season outright, my vote would be to pay the top 4 in terms of overall points because everyone knows @Poke_4_Life doesn't deserve anything, Oklahoma is a small state and he can't even pick the right school. If we wanted to pay the top 4 in the standings that's fine too. Personally not a fan of the full refund for all, the buy-in is super low and six months of entertainment out of it should be enough for everyone to feel like they got their money's worth. If we do go that route I'd like to just roll mine over for next year's entry fee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slapdash 16,240 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Pay the top 4 IMO. If you want to return the money though, this last place team would enjoy it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Getzlaf15 10,811 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I would wait as long as possible to make a decision. If nothing changes and a decision has to be made, I'd split the 4th place w/l and pts prize. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TLEF316 4,929 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I'm cool with whatever everyone wants to do. Obviously it would be nice to get a few bucks back, but I' certainly not going to lobby for it. My vote is to wait until we know whether league is actually going to be cancelled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sinn Fein 33,971 Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 Just to be clear - we will finish the season if the PL finishes the season. I'm just trying to gauge where everyone is if the league got cancelled. I worry a little that England may have really screwed up by waiting until now to start trying the whole social distancing aspect - and that could extend the impacts into the summer. At this point, my basic assumption is that Euro 2020 will be postponed, and leagues given a chance to finish seasons. I am also assuming that CL and Europa will be scrapped. But there are some practical reasons that would require the seasons to be done by June 30 - and probably some pushback at playing twice a week for 5 weeks if they started in late May. So, a cancelled season is still a real possibility. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

drunken slob 551 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 A lot of great points have been made with this discussion. In the event of a cancellation of the season, I want my money to be used for payouts. As a commish of three magic football leagues, I would have no problem giving anybody their entry fee back. But....whatever money is left, I would pay out the remainder based on the percentages in the rules to the top four or five. I also believe that nobody should have to declare their intentions to have their money returned here in the thread. That should be an owner/commissioner discussion. Sorry to make extra work for you @Sinn Fein I joined this league because I wanted to broaden my fantasy and sports horizons. I care more about this team than my dynasty leagues. I was looking so forward to the run-in. Now it's all about to be gone. Things will get better. I hope everybody here stays on board for next season. In the meantime, take care of yourselves and those you can help. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Poke_4_Life 2,046 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Even tho I'm a main point of contention, I don't know that I really care. I do hope Pulisic and Kane can get healthy before the footy starts back, but is that really fair to get injured players back when if this whole thing didn't happen they would still be out? (More thinking about Kane in this case, Pulisic should be healthy by now.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think the league is moving forward with a re-start date in Mid-June. It looks like there will be two "game-weeks" in every real week - so we will need a contingency to deal with FAs/Waivers. My inclination would be to do away with actual waivers - but still manually process waivers after the final match of any given match-week - thus players would still lock when their game started, but you would still be able to pick them up prior to the next game-week starting. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will figure out the waiver and post something here - but it looks like weekend games could run Friday-Monday, with mid-week games on Tuesday and Wednesday.

But, from what I hear - the commissioner has changed the waivers to run on Monday Night and Thursday night - 9:00 et. I, er I mean he, thinks that will run waivers after the weekend games that will be played from Friday to Monday, and again after the mid-week games which run Tuesday through Thursday. The intent is to still lock all players in a given game week once their game starts (5 minutes before), but then make everyone still available to be picked in the upcoming week. So if I have to make adjustments manually - I will. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
