Lol, eligibilty here is having been part of an event, but then you discard and rerun it?
You should have stuck wit the outcome of that draft
Otherwise there's little to boast, if you deleted the very thing which made you first!

We might just draft the same teams.
Besides, the managers are more important than the players.

First potential draft day is tomorrow, although not everyone has voted yet.

Do you want to do the draft AFTER the community shield (so Sunday 6th @ 22:00 BST) or before it?

Is this another Sanchez question?
I really don't mind either way.

[wahine]

after...thanks but 4 players have signed up so far

[robot]

I would say after as well, 5 so far isn't it?

Should be able to find 3 more from the other test drafts?

[Colbert]

I'm in the 'rookies' league but if you guys want extra players I'd look after a second team in here.

[Mav3rick]

We could do with another entrant or two I think. 5 might be a few too few...

[hiragii]

If you need players, I'm game! I just did a test draft and I found it really exciting.

[Stemania]

If you need one more to get enough I'll happily fill in (I was in the second practice draft so that nearly counts), but I'll be away on holiday all next week (inc weekends, in fact from Friday aft) so would likely have to do the drafting via watchlist (which would slow the entire draft down for everyone). So give me a pm in the next few days if you need someone and I'll set up ze list, otherwise ignore this post.

[blahblah]

If you want someone to make up the numbers, let me know.

I have done one Draft League before, and it was pants - well I did pants

I dont think it slows it down, its only for the first pick then it realises you are absent and puts in an auto pick thereafter, making your turn much faster, I joined a public league for a practice, and nobody else turned up and once the draft started it flew through the picks at a hectic rate as I was the only one choosing

[Stemania]

Pm received. League joined. Looks like I have a few days to prepare that watchlist!

[Talkie Toaster]

League now full:

Mav3rick
S_sutton87
Talkie Toaster
wahine

If anyone is expecting to participate in this draft tonight I'd log in now and try to get to your team. It's taken me 5 or 6 refreshes to get the team to load this evening, I think the site is struggling with load so I don't know how that's going to affect things.

We'll delete the league and re-start if the connection issues ruin the draft though.

Starts in 30 minutes

[Mav3rick]

So I'm not able to pick my drafts, can't add chat messages, all the picks so far have taken the full 60 so I assume nobody can do anything?

[S_sutton87]

Nothing happening my end

I just managed to make it at 5 past, also to find I can't actually pick anything

[Mav3rick]

Nope me either.

OK, stand down everyone we'll abandon that league and set a new one up when the site is working again.

[Stemania]

Three of the same message have just got through eventually for me. Am actually quite interested to see what the watchlists come up with.

[robot]

they had problems on the 8pm draft, mine have only just gone through, someone picked heaton 1st!

[Talkie Toaster]

Can't do much, but my watchlist is working well for me so far.

[wahine]
