The FSA Draft -Chat and Banter.

Dear Patrons,

Roryc reaffirms his intentions by increasing his lead at the top of the table.
Shano88, Bezuaua and Spacecowb0y continue to post impressive scores and the top 4 seem to have an iron grip on the Champions league places.

Nuts 103 drops from 5th to 7th place after a depressing 6 points. This after scoring 4 points last week. Managers have been sacked for less.

Bouncing up the table with a booby score of 44 is Iusedtolikebusts. He is top scorer for this week. Double D for effort.

The whole year inn posts a new record low score of 2 points. Trust in that Man city defence is thin on the ground.

The bottom three remain secure in the relegation places, easily the most consistent performers of this competition.

Finally, the transfer window will be opening after gameweek 25. On the morning of 12 Feb.
I suggest to follow the same transfer rules and format that we used last time round. Perhaps allowing 3 transfers this time to keep it interesting between now and the end of the season.

Dear Patrons,

Big couple of weeks for Rory C. His lead is now 57 odd points. We should all try getting banned from FSA- - it may improve our performances.

Much and muchness about the chasing pack with just one mover in the top 8 - Swiper moving up 1 place.

Top score for the week is Copperpipe. His fall from grace has been much documented in these updates but a 43 point haul may be indicative that the kid is back.

The Whole year inn has the lowest weekly score for the second time in 2 weeks. He consequently falls from 13th down to 15th.
The bottom three remain as they were. A fine example of solidarity going on there.

And Remember, the transfer window will be opening after gameweek 25. So on the morning of 12 Feb. We will follow the same transfer rules and format that we used last time round, but allowing 3 transfers this time to keep it interesting between now and the end of the season.

Rules for second transfer window below!

1) Order of picking will start with team in 20th position in the league going first.

2) Every Manager gets two transfers in this phase, but see new rule 9 below for a potential 3rd transfer.

3) When your turn to transfer comes you can choose to transfer out up to 2 players in your team. You must replace your transferred out players with any player who is available.

4) Managers can transfer out 2 or 1 players or can choose to 'pass'.

5) To keep this moving along when your turn to transfer comes you have 2 hours to make your transfers. The clock only ticks from 9am to 9pm.

6) If you miss your turn then you are out of luck. You will be able to make 1 transfer per rule 9 below in the ‘free for all’ phase.

7) If you know that you will not be available to make your pick then pm your picks to someone who can make your transfers on your behalf.

8) Once you have made your transfers, or passed, please PM the next in the list and ask them to pick. This will help keep this moving at a reasonable pace.

9) Once the last manager (ie whoever is 1st in the league table) has made his transfers then there will be a mini-Free for all open until midnight that day when one last transfer can be made.
a. But this is strictly first come first served based on posting order – open to all managers.
b. No transfers with a posting time after 23:59 will be accepted.
c. Eg : If Roru C, or his delegate, makes his transfers at 18:00 then the free for all will last for 6 hours up to 23:59 that same day.
d. Eg: If Rory C, or his delegate, makes his transfers at 23:58 then the Free for all will be open for just 1 minute.
e. You have only 1 transfer during this free for all.

No commentry this week except to say I am pissed off that having spent most of the season in 2nd last place I am now up to 3rd last place...and thus will be doing my transfers later than expected.
