Buddy just sent this to me

Can't check it because I'm at the office but he says this is a draft league website for EPL. Somebody look into it and see if it's worth using. Might take some work off the hands of the commish.

Looks promising. Very close to what we do. But, we do use a 16-player roster after our fall supplemental draft, this only allows for 15-man rosters (not that big a deal to me). Here's their roster set-up:

quote:

Each squad consists of 15 players:

2 Goalkeepers
5 Defenders
5 Midfielders
3 Forwards
A squad can have a maximum of 3 players from any Premier League club.


The limitation on the # of players at a position are different from us (except for GKs) and we have no limitaion on # of players from a club.

That's cool if you don't mind the work I would rather you head it up anyway. Just figured it might take some of the weight off your shoulders.

It's definitely nice to have a website like that that makes things easier. But, in my experience, online fantasy leagues that use websites like that aren't as fun. Participation lacks big time.

Bump again to get some sort of response from the 3 remaining. At what point do we move on without them? The draft is going to take at least a week if the last years are any indication.

It's up to Vick, really, since he's commish. Do we want to get the draft going on Monday?


rdw and The Mick post posted last on TD on Wednesday. Tomorrow will mark 1 month since WSE last posted....he may be out.

I have Mick's cell phone number. I will text him. I am sure he will be back.

Rdw is less consistent. Does anyone have his email?

I did not even notice war disappeared.

No, but he did post these comments in last year's thread (which I forgot about until just now):

quote:

Sorry for being very MIA for the last few weeks. I play soccer saturday mornings and just completely forget to set my roster the night before. Also, I haven't even really been watching at all recently.

It's not fair for everybody in the league for me to throw up a roster every three weeks, not watch the games, and not even calculate my own score so I'll probably give my league spot after this season ends.


quote:

I know but I'm sure there are people on this site who would actually update their lineup and pay better attention than me. Besides it was essentially Hazard that catapulted me to the top.

Also, I'm tendering my resignation at the conclusion of the season so I'm not forfeiting anything yet.



Both can be found on THIS page. But I think we still need to give him the chance to return if he wants.

No answer from Mick yet via text.

We will get the ball rolling soon. Let me some executive decisions Saturday. I would say worst case scenario is we start drafting Monday morning at 9 am. We do have two owners ready to go. They are consistent soccer board posters, which is good.

I'd suggest "starting the clock" at 8am CDT if we're going to use an 8 hour window per pick. That way you get 3 8 hour windows (hopefully it wouldn't take that long) from 8am until midnight when the clock freezes.

Sweet! I don't think any of us realized that it was time. This season is starting extra early.

I think we should share cell phone numbers or at least emails to speed this up.

Email me at tdxxvkc@gmail.com if you need my number. Mick has it.

Now, we just need Rdw to check in.
