TFF 4FD / FPL King of the Drafts Combo League

[Striker]

Just read that the season is split in two. Whoops!

I don't think that thebillfella has finalised the split yet. But given that we have 35 EPL games remaining, I suggest that the end of the first half is after 18 games, although it could be after 17 games depending on the best timing for the next draft.

Just getting into this now, and wouldn't mind a draft every month.

[thebillfella]

Sounds like streety would prefer 17 rather than 18 games with his squad!!!

There is a h2h draft on tuesday being run by bspittles looking for another player.

[Striker]

Not keen on H2H but wouldn't mind another go at a "normal" league if I spot one.

But a key question is, does anyone know if there is a facility for copying your wish list from one league to another?

Nope, you have to start from scratch every time.
Just been having a whinge about this on the H2H thread. (again).

Should be ok with my squad, just had Coutinho as a season long player. Might take him a while to get back in the team.

[robot]

Difficult to say for me depends a lot on Aguero for me,
When I played the fpl guys they were much slower getting the premium defenders all went quite quick last night.

Noticed that morganb has just picked ogasaki in round 5 on tff but he didnt go at all last night i debated for 59 seconds then took calvert lewin!

[streety]

I feel sorry for poor Theo Walcott. 11 teams of 15 players and he still didn't get picked.

[workie-ticket]

Anyone had to put in a waiver request yet?

[thebillfella]

All

Sincere apologies for not updating this before now - work a bit manic atm and barely enough time to sort my own transfers!!!

Link to the combined table I've now prepared is on the first page and here:

Nathan247, me and Robot all making decent starts opening up a small but by no means insurmountable gap to Striker in 4th. At the other end lyons316 sits bottom largely due to his labouring TFF score with last years' runaway winner streety finding the FPL version of the game a little trickier than the TFF version dragging him down to 4th from bottom. Spencer4 and Sibrown4 make up the other "relegation" spots this far; the bottom three looking forward to the impending new draft in the TFF side of this game to change their fortunes.

When is the redraft happening? FA Cup week?

[morganb]

When is the redraft happening? FA Cup week?

FA Cup week was suggested on the TFF Four Full Draft Game thread but I don't think a final decision was made over the date/time. The initial draft was on a Sunday at 10pm so assume we could stick with this day/time?

[thebillfella]

viewtopic.php?f=136&t=125686&start=600

As per usual, no spare transfers can be used once the next draft commences, although transfers can be made right up to the starting time of that draft.

As regards the other draft, my suggestion is that we hold it during the FA Cup break. This means a slightly unbalanced season 19/16 but logistically that advantage seems to outweigh that.

But the decision is up to Bill (and all our voices in the background )

More than happy to listen to the voices!!!

The original intention was to have the second FPL draft at a similar time to this TFF draft so split the FPL season in two, but that also means I need to update the spreadsheet and allow time to do the draft. This may lead to some difficult conversations regarding my commitment to the family over the Christmas period

Happy to go with the consensus on this but doing the FPL draft over FA Cup break will improve my changes of remaining married by the time we do the draft if that works for everyone else?!!

Thanks for the prompt.

morganb's suggestion above works for me so if everyone else is happy let's go for that. Have set up the new draft league as follows if you all want to join at your earliest opportunity?

[thebillfella]

Just lyons316 to join I think and then we're good to go.

[nathan247]

What are the rules for the fpl draft regarding weekly transfers?

[thebillfella]

As many as you like as long as they are available to draft in. Apply through waivers first, then free agents at the end of each week after the waivers have been processed.

[nathan247]

what are waivers, I have not made 1 transfer this season, not been paying a lot of attention

[robot]

Your top by 80 points!

You can use the Transactions tab to make requests for swapping your players on ‘waivers’. The waivers deadline is usually 24 hours before the Gameweek deadline and any requests that you make will be processed in turns. The order will be based on the draft order before the first deadline, then once the season starts, the lowest placed in the league will get first pick. Please see the section in the rules around ‘Transactions’ for more information.

Free agents are basically whats left after the waivers

With 11 of us playing there's not much to choose from anyway!!

[thebillfella]

How to make the rest of us feel inferior at this eh Nath!

[workie-ticket]

Didn't make the draft "live" so choices exclusively on how my watch list was set up. Reasonably OK I think! I assume this new team starts scoring immediately?

[thebillfella]

Yep, next game. Previous league will carry on in the background but the points contribution to the combo league switches over from hereon in.
