I would suggest having the lineups active from 11:59 PM Friday through 11:59 PM the following Wednesday. You can change your lineup on Thursday and Friday before it "locks" again.
Yeah, that is perfect. Also, you can only make roster moves on Thursday and Friday. However, you can make unlimited transactions and trades.
Let's only use players in trades and not money. It will keep things much simpler. I really do not see the need for a trade deadline either as long as there is no collusion. Those are better for keeper leagues.

Thursday will work. You have my number. My email is tdxxvkc@gmail.com if you need it.
I will probably just continue to think of any potential issues or help think of anything even if they happen to already be in rules.

Make sure you join the EPL site and do that league. That will make scoring infinitely easier.
I think the only thing is to determine the FAAB. We have to decide an amount to use and how we would make it. My best thought would be to have everyone send you an email by Wednesday at 11:59 pm and whoever bids the highest for a certain player gets him. Otherwise, we would just use basic waivers (or even just free agents and not waivers) where it is first come, first serve after the Wednesday deadline.

Do we have a "Transaction Thread" where we post all transactions?
It would eliminate the he said/she said of emails.
Let's say Carlton Cole looks great for West Ham this weekend (
).
First person to post: "Add Carlton Cole, drop Nani" gets the player, but (obviously) can't change their lineup until the appropriate time.
If two users work out a trade, then it should be posted in the transaction and be ratified by one other owner (and the commissioner.) Same idea with the lineup applies.
Is there a transaction limit (# of FA moves) every week?

There will be a transaction thread for trades and free agents. if you edit a post it becomes null and void.
No limit on transactions.

Not a fan, but that is ok.
There are three ways we could handle unowned players. FAAB is the most fair, but also probably the most time consuming for you. Continuous rolling waivers before Wednesday night (do lineups lock at central time?) and free agents after that works well. Everyone becoming a free agent at midnight kind of sucks because then some people will just stay up until then and then add their players.
Unfortunately, the better the free agent acquisition system, the more time consuming it is for you. I could explain all three in full if you need it.

FAAB:
FAAB stands for free agent acquisition budget. We would be using hypothetical money. This would still be a free league.
With the FAAB system you have, say $100 (or Euros, but I do not know where that symbol is), to spend over the course of the season on free agents. Every week, all members would email you the amount they want to spend on unowned players by Wednesday at 11:59 pm. Let's say that Carlton Cole is unowned (to continue with Sheep's example) and he scores a brace for West Ham in the first week of play. Of course, multiple owners will want to add him, so they will send you an email for how much they want to bid for him. You can only bid once on a player per week. Whoever submits the highest bid gets the player and has that total subtracted from their FAAB.
The other players do not lose their money. FAAB is the best way to go when you have a huge free agent come about. Let's say that Cavani is purchased by Chelsea over the winter trade window, and everyone really, really wants Cavani. Then, you could have massive bids of over half your FAAB budget. I just think it is more fair than whoever happens to be online at the time. Also, any players that do not have a bid accounted for by Wednesday night can be picked up for free on Thursday or Friday.
The downside of FAAB is that you would have to sift through emails each week. Also, you would have an unfair advantage in that you could also look at everyone's prices and just one up if you wanted to. A solution to that would be that you have to bid by Tuesday (and you would email another league member) and no one else could bid until your bidding period ended. Honestly, I feel that you would be trustworthy in the matter and there is no money at play, so I do not think that this would be an issue.

Continuous rolling waivers:
Instead of sending you an email with a player's name and price, we just send you an email with the player's name by Wednesday night. Whoever has the highest waiver priority gets the player. Once again, any unclaimed players can be added for free on Thursday or Friday.
Waiver priority is initially determined by reverse draft order (sorry, Jumbo). When you make a successful waiver claim (no matter what position waiver you are), you drop back to 10th in the order. When you have a high waiver priority, you may want to be careful in using it in order to wait until a highly touted player becomes available.
Let's say that Sheep and I each want to place a waiver claim on Carlton Cole and Cavani. In the email to you, I would include "Add Cavani, drop Player X. This is my first waiver priority." Since Cavani is so highly coveted, Sheep sent the same email as me. Whoever had the higher waiver priority gets Cavani (let's pretend it is Sheep). Since Sheep won the waiver claim for Cavani, then he drops to 10th in waivers. Then, if we both also put in a bid for Carlton Cole as our second waiver, then I would get him, since I have the higher waiver priority.
This process would work for all players where highest waiver priority wins out.
Now that I think about it, waivers seem like a bitch to do without a computer system to automatically sort it. No offense, but the chance of human error seems pretty high. Not only is it more random than FAAB, but it actually sounds like the hardest and most work.
Also, we are still dealing with the same commish advantages/disadvantages as before.
I think we should not do continuous rolling waivers. I realized this when typing this up.

Simple free agency:
This option would not require any emails and may be the best option for a league in its first season without a host site. Unfortunately, it is basically whoever has access to TD can get who they want.
Basically, you just write in the transaction thread (either weekly or season long) who you want to add and drop. The only decision to make is whether you want to allow adds/drops.
Choice one is on Friday at 11:59 immediately after lineups lock, so the transaction is pending until Wednesday. The adds/drops can be made all week long whenever you want, but they would generally just apply to next week's squad unless it was done on Thursday or Friday.
Choice two is on Wednesday at 11:59 immediately lineups unlock. Transactions could be made over the next two days, but they would all apply to that week's lineup.
I think I would lean towards option 1.
After writing out all the processes, I think simple free agency may be the way to go. It requires the least amount of administrative work and it is the easiest for everyone to understand.
Ironically, doing this changed my stance on the matter. Hope this helps.
FAAB is probably the best system, but free agency might be the best for you.
