re: 2020-2021 TD Fantasy Premier League Thread

At all times you have to have at least 2 GKs, 4 DEF, 4 MID, and 2 FWD. You can have whatever combination as long as you're meeting those requirements for your 15 players. You might choose to have 2 GKs, 4 DEF, 6 MID and 3 FWD or 2, 5, 5 and 3. If you want to add someone you have to drop a player and still maintain these requirements.

As far as Rodrigo, you can't add him because he wasn't in the Premier League until after the draft started. Once the transfer window is closed, all the guys who transferred in after the draft started (except Havertz and Silva because we knew they were done deals), will be eligible for the supplemental draft.

At that point we look and see if anyone lost a top five round pick to a team outside of England. If so, that person moves to the top of the supplemental draft. Other than that, it's reverse draft order, so it would be wait, tigerfan, you, etc. Since you're likely picking third, you'll probably get an awesome player (Rodrigo, James, Mendy, Sancho, etc). For the first supplemental draft, you don't drop anyone, and your roster size increases to 16 players. After the draft is over, anyone who doesn't get picked is fair game to be picked up during the normal weekly transfer windows.

Having the player pool lock after the draft is really the only fair thing to do. Otherwise, Messi might've gotten announced to City and whoever was next to pick just randomly gets Messi in the 11th round or whatever.
