You can just copy the first league with how everything is done.

I guess we should pick a date to start the draft. We need to randomize the picks. I think there is some fantasy football site that does this. Maybe fftoolbox.com or something like that.

Like I said, I will be kind of shitty to work with next week, but I will do my best.

Its a looooong season bro. Goes from next week basically through next May. Its not hard once you get it set up... (especially if all owners stay active. IF not then you have to add up their scores manually each week).. we had 3 or 4 teams go belly up so the active owners each took one team and did those scores..it wasnt too bad.

If you're up for it man, its all yours. Please confirm by signing your name here in blood and I'll add you to the OP as commissioner.

Vicks Kennel Club will help you get started, vicks is going to creat the speadsheets and all to run the league with.

I need to learn how to make a google doc, but I can do it.

You can just copy my format. There is nothing to do just yet outside of getting your league members.

It is important to get your ten owners (including you) ASAP. Mick has listed a bunch of guys in the OP. Start a separate thread if needed.

We will a draft thread and then a season long thread.

Mick, you make the call on the sub rules.

How does the EPL site handle subs?

Auto subs anyone on your bench. Your bench is on the site is one goalie and three outfield players. We have an extra roster spot.

I would say to do either the EPL way or pick subs before the match (to make it like real soccer with three subs).

I say we use all 5 bench players as subs (listed in order). If you have a starter that DNP then you take the first listed bench player (assuming he played and assuming he keeps your lineup legit). If either of those criteria arent met then you go to the next player on the bench.

No worries, I work from home one day a week so I can do most of it then. Just so happens its on Tuesday after Monday night football (UK).

I'm assuming I'll need peoples emails and such to communicate, so I'll create a commissioner email and post it for my entrants. I'll work on that this evening.

Keep up with the new threads that pop up begining of next week when the leagues get official and drafts set to start. Im betting a few people in the second league dont respond and there will be a few spots open up.

Mick, I will need you to handle the OP of the draft thread because I will not be able to update it during the draft next week.

I will make a new season long thread for the rosters, table, transactions, etc.

What we will need is basically this:

Team Name - Pick

Round 1
1. The Mick - FWD Robin Van Persie (Man United)
2. VKC - FWD Luis Suarez (Liverpool)
...
10. WSE - FWD Fernando Torres (Chelsea)

Round 2
1. WSE - MID David Silva (Man City)
...
10. The Mick - GK Joe Hart (Man City)

Round 3
1. The Mick - DEF Leighton Baines (Everton)
...

And so and so forth. You know how a snake draft works. Each pick will be added to the OP. The player pool is from the EPL site.

There is no time limit on the picks, but do your best to be attentive and pick in a quick fashion.

No. Picks need to be randomized. I just used our names.

I can randomize the picks and announce the draft order soon.
