It sometimes sticks on your screen whereas in real time the countdown is still ticking (it looks like it seems to happen when auto pick is required???). Worth hitting the refresh button if it doesn't change straight away.

All done in 43 mins. I'll leave it for a day and then delete it tomorrow night before the deadline kicks in and we are stuck with it!

It's certainly a lot easier to pick with seven that it is / will be with 9!!!

The main lesson that I took from it is that if I wanted to be up to date all the time, I needed to refresh frequently. The problem was that if you were looking, say, at just defenders at the time of the refresh, the refresh showed all players.

So taking above and cross referencing with the other thread leaves us in theory as follows:

1.Geoffv - BOTH
2.workie-ticket - BOTH
3.Striker - BOTH
4.nffc - ?
5.Robot - BOTH
6.Spencer4 - BOTH
7. morganb - BOTH
8. Sibrown4 - BOTH
9. thebillfella - BOTH
10. Nathan247 - BOTH
11. streety - BOTH
12. Rick Spangle - TFF ONLY
13. lyons316 - BOTH

So a draft of either 11 or 12 (subject to nffc) which should present a good challenge compared to these 8 or 9 player league drafts!!!

As the transfer window closes on Thursday and the TFF 4FD begins Friday 1st September I'm proposing we do the 1st FPL 2FD on Sunday 3rd September at 10:30 a.m. Hopefully this works for everyone but happy to move it to a slot that everyone can make if they shout up in time? Max 60 secs / draft - shouldn't take much more than 1 hr to complete.

So shout up if anyone wants to change anything - league PIN to follow.

10.30am on Sunday is not ideal as I know we're having a family get together this weekend. Evening would be better for me. Sorry. Would rather pick live if possible rather than via watch list.

Once the time is decided I'll exclude the 2 hr period from our TFF game.

I'll be posting the draft order for that game in the next hour or so once I've found my bit of paper with the lottery ball numbers, and played with the numbers. Sods Law it'll take a few minutes to work through as we only have five counting balls. 41 & 42 were both drawn and 58 isn't allocated to any manager.

How about we go with 10pm and then we can cease TFF FFD until the following morning?

I'm fine with that as long as 10 pm isn't too late for any other manager.

It occurs to me that a 10 pm start means that managers should have thought out their watch lists carefully, unlike the rather shabby one that I threw together in 5 minutes for the practice run, (which I thought went well and was instructive). Then I largely ignored my list and selected off the top of my head, but that approach may not be the brightest idea late at night after a few Sunday evening beers. Although selection based on alcohol induced intuition might produce an interesting team. :wink:

A few punts / injury prones in there but overall I'm reasonably ok with what I've got. Deffo my worst draft team so far but that is down to having 11 in the league rather than 8 or 9.

I'm relatively happy with my team too. There are areas that are not great but that's probably down to the number of people in the draft meaning a lot of the better players went between turns. I think I may have panicked once it twice though! There were a couple of times when the player I was aiming to get went just before my pick.
