We could consider a tweak to the sub rules this year to match the premier site. (I think) there is a sub designated for each position (def,mid,strk). So we dont have as many zeros as we did last year.

I'm pretty sure we did this with the Finn's league.

I stayed with it last season. I'll do it again if I'm not expected to calculate everyone else's scores again like GC did.

Well, I did what I could to keep the league afloat.

Is the point of the second league to make it like English soccer where the bottom 3 teams drop to the second division and the top 3 move up to the first division (assuming all the players this year want to play again next year)

Yeah, that's the plan.

Our league had two or three guys stop playing out of nowhere, and it all went downhill from there.

Vicks **

We should get this draft started on Monday. That would give us two workday weeks to complete the draft and get everyone's lineups done etc..

It should start soon. I will be out of town, so I may want to wait until Wednesday?

I will look into tonight.

I've already got my team name and crest picked out. Going to continue my fantasy team tradition of basing teams off of TV shows I like. (Sadly, I didn't do that last year on here.)

I'm in!... until about Week 8 when my star striker keeps feuding with his manager and stops doing meme worthy things.

Would you want to be commissioner of the 2nd league?

I'm keeping my same identity as last year.

Hey Vicks..how did we handle the late transfers last year (meaning the one that may occur after our draft is underway)?

Those players are not elligible to be drafted until the supplemental draft correct? (transfer window closes Aug 31). So any drop/adds during our first two weeks need to exclude those supplemental players also.

Yes, that is what we did. If you are not in the player pool when our draft starts, then you cannot be drafted or added until the supplemental draft.

Any other rule changes or pressing matters that needs to be discussed?

Personally, I would like to wait to start the draft until the Bale and Suarez situations get cleared up. They would be top three picks if they stayed.

I will not be very available most of next week. I might not have access to a computer much either, but I can do it from a mobile phone I guess. I would not be able to run the draft. If we start next week, someone else would have to be in charge of the draft.

I want in! Are the two leagues going to be taking from the same player pool, or will each league have their own?

Each league has a separate player pool.

The second league would just mimic the first.

We need to nail down the substitution rules.

Also, I can run the draft for us no problem.

The Bale and Suarez deals may run till the end of the month, so not sure where we draw the line.

Agreed. I think we should just go ahead and set a start date.

I've never done fantasy EPL, but I've commissioned fantasy football leagues. I'd be willing to give it a shot if someone helps me get it set up. As long as I can mimic league 1 settings for the league 2 it shouldn't be hard.
