Draft Rules

1. Draft will be in snake format, ie last pick in the 1st round gets first pick in the 2nd.
2. You have 4 hours to make your pick after which you may be skipped and then have to make your pick when you get back.
2a. If you know you wont be around to make your pick, you can pm it to someone who will be. just ask in the thread.
3. Players have to manage their own budget to make sure they dont run out of money, choose too many from one team, etc. I will try to keep the spreadsheet updated regularly.
3a. Keep in mind that teams wont be entered until whole squads have been picked so final values may be different from the time you pick them. (Due to price rises/drops)
3b. If you overspend such that you cannot afford a player in the final round, you automatically get last pick in the first round of transfers.
4. Please dont mention players names in thread until after they have been picked.
5. Please pm the next person when it is their turn

Transfer Rules

1. I liked Ralfbergs idea of drafting transfers in reverse order of league table so will go with that. ie last place after GW1 gets first choice of transfer for GW2
2. Option of one, two or no transfers.

Will post draft order in one hour to allow any late entries and then we will start.

Thats the order. Obv I end up last.

ricerules is on the clock. He has 4 hours.

I choose dzeko.

I choose Rooney

Ashley Young

Nasri

Il take Luis Suarez and David Silva.

Guys since there is only 5 of us and it moves quite fast I think we can be fairly loose with the 4 hour rule. We all have lives to lead. Il leave it up to your discrestion whether you want to skip the previous guy or give him a little extra time. Theres no major rush to start this as there are plenty of GWs left.

Interesting that Rooney didnt go #1, felt that was a slam dunk.

We need some sort of template to copy and paste so that we can easily check for duplicates?

Spreadsheet in the op, il make it public so you can edit in your picks as they come.

I'll give the next player till 7pm uk time to make a selection other i'll take my turn.

Where does that leave me then? As I am after the next player. (1 before you).

You can go ahead and pick or give Abhishekrocked more time if you wish but its been over 8 hours and you risk getting skipped yourself if you leave it too long.

Sorry, should have made that more clear. When I said a little more time, I meant an hour or two.

As it's been 8 hours (as you pointed out), I will have my 2nd go now.

RVP.

Henandez i'll take for my 2nd pick.

Boswinga with the last pick of the second round
Adam with the first pick of round three.

Sorry guys for late reply.

Kompany second round
Parker round three..

Should Countbasie want to select Parker, then I believe he can?

Abish, it wasn't your turn for round 3. I think you should have sent your selection to Mcnulty for posting after Countbasie had

I would be surprised if he would want to select parker though.....

infact, you can't select your 3rd choice until after I have picked.

(but I wouldn't want Parker either).

Im not about till 11pm tonight. I wll forward any potential picks to mcnulty.

It's your turn for round 3 now Count!?

Ohhh.... if anybody wants Parker i will change mine..but no one wants parker then My Selection is Parker.(I thought Third pick was also done )

Counts picking Baines. Go ahead Rich

Bit of a gamble

Adebayor.


(this isn't as easy as it first appears......)

Was definately considering him for a later round.

So Abhis takes Parker(must know something we dont )

Il have Sergio Aguero and Frank Lampard.

I was taking budget into account too

Aye, Im going to be spending the rest of the draft in the bargain bin.

Mate, do you have any rulings in place for duplicate picks, or over exceeding budgets? or even more than 3 players per club rule?

Some sort of forfeit or something?

If so, may be worth editing the opening post. (Sorry if it sounds like I am trying to teach you to suck eggs).

Right well, in all the cases you mention, the person its going to hurt the most is the person making the error since they will have to change their team such that it is legal.

Say for instance I get to my last pick and I have 2.5mil left, i will have to go back and replace one of my players which will essentially mean my pick has been skipped till the end.

An added forfeit of having last pick in the first Gws transfers, regardless of league position, is an option too but must admit I hadnt planned on this.
