You're up after MM as well, pressure will be on to respond in finnharpsboy time.
Considering the old "when is FPL open for business?" posts usually start before May is out each year I think we've shown remarkable restraint so far;)

Well as you can see I'm lurking in the background waiting for my time!!'

Has someone pmed manual man actually?

It could speed things up (but also make things a little less exciting and a little more work) if we were to send someone (thanks for offering Mr. P ) a list of our potential picks as our turn is approaching.

So CSF could send his top two GK'er picks, and also his top 4 Def picks in order.
The guy below his 3 keeper choices and 3 defenders in order.
You could do it all the way up to whoever was first to pick GK and get them to list out there 21 top defenders ok, that's a bit unrealistic but we could be working 4-5 picks ahead to speed things up.

CSF will be ready when his time comes ;-)

The only question is whether his choice of goalkeeper will be ready for him!!!

Yup.

SpaceCowb0y · 03-09-2014 12:37pm

manual_man taking the mickey! He's probably online watching the pandemonium unfold in the thread with players losing the rag waiting to make their selections! :pac:

Menas · 03-09-2014 1:24pm

Not sure what is going on with Manual man, but we will give him until 2pm today. If no pick by 2pm lets move on. He can then pick his goalie at his leisure. 5 hours during daytime of a weekday should be enough and if he is having a crisis he would not want us all waiting.

Moving forward, 'Daytime' is defined as from 9am to 9pm. If next in line to pick does not pick within 3 hours 'daytime' then we move on.

Hope that seems fair.

Did you PM Shano88?

Yup sorry should have said

Menas · 03-09-2014 4:20pm

shano88 has 50 minutes to get in there. If he doesnt then Bezuaua go ahead and pick your goalkeeper AND your first defender.
CSF then goahead and pick your defender etc etc.

Once we get to the top of the list then I will run the randomiser and publish the new order for picking Midfielder 1 and Forward.
Or perhaps I will ask a trusty Finn harps fan to do this for us...if I can find one!

shano_88 · 03-09-2014 5:06pm

Sorry about the delay. Was busy today and was barely online.

Mr.Prodston · 03-09-2014 5:12pm

Darn. Ivanovic is gone, was hoping he'd still be knocking around for pick number 17 :pac:

Swiper the fox · 03-09-2014 5:15pm

It's moving along nicely for the last few minutes. Coleman picked before Baines or Kaboul is the first big surprise,

I was doubtful between him and Mariappa... coin toss solved the case

shano_88 · 03-09-2014 5:16pm

Probably should have asked this earlier, but what are we doing after the draft is complete?

We'll just wait until some other boardsie comes to us with a hairbrained scheme or league to further alienate us from normal society.:pac:

Kabo will certainly be gone by then obviously but I'm hopeful on Verthongen.

shano_88 · 03-09-2014 5:22pm

Like in other drafts Ive seen you line out your team and say why your team is the greatest and better than everyone elses!

I guess It would be hard to do in this one give we wont have full teams!

Well it's just based on FPL points, so that will decide it.

But for the record my team will be greater and betterer than everyone else's!

Ok, so we will come back and see it at the end of the season?

On your second point, impossible! Any team you could possible select will be inferior to mine in every possible way. Bow down to its greatness!

dahat · 03-09-2014 5:54pm

Manual Man took my defender of choice.. Damn you chap!

Once the draft is complete then you do nothing. Every week I will publish an updated league table showing gw and overall scores for each of our twenty entrants. Hopefully we get a bit of banter going.

There will be two transfer windows between now and gw 38 where you can get rid of your dross and bring in any available player..is, a player that is not in someone else's team.

I take it there will again be a random order of who gets to make transfers first... in that case it might not work out so well coming top of the list ha

It will probably be me now for pointing it out though... :pac:

PARlance · 03-09-2014 6:23pm

Rory posted earlier that he was at a conference.... He gave 3 defenders picks here, Zab his 3rd choice is free
http://touch.boards.ie/thread/2057282209/7/

Shall we move on?

I have not put too much thought in to it to be honest, we can work it out nearer the time!

Menas · 03-09-2014 7:06pm

I have asked someone else to generate the new random list for the next round of picking. Watch this space!

My Jones is Phil Jones btw

Left with my 3rd choice then.

If someone had taken my Philly, there would have been handbags out I tell ya.

Mr.Prodston · 03-09-2014 11:01pm

I really didn't expect FPL behemoth Per Mertesacker to be left by pick 17, couldn't not snap that up

F1ngers · 03-09-2014 11:10pm

Swiper the fox and the whole year inn seem to be offline now.

I'm going offline now, not in work tomorrow so will check in, in the morning.

Crap. Only getting a look at the forum on ipad now. That looked fine on my phone but apparently the image not loading. Trigger Happy couldn't see it in Pm either.

Apologies. This should look better.

Mr.Prodston · 03-09-2014 11:59pm

Well I'm going to have fun picking a forward, are there even 20 active in the game :eek:

Still first choice mid eh? Half tempted to go for Yaya for the "Lolz". However I'll not be doing that

F1ngers · 04-09-2014 9:27am

Am I right to assume that if by 12pm, the whole year inn doesn't pick a defender, I do and we continue on with part two of the selection with Mr. Prodston.

OneColdHand · 04-09-2014 9:31am

Just realised Mr. P has his pick of midfielders. Presume you will be going for former Norwich hero Leroy Fer?!

Lucas Hood · 04-09-2014 9:36am

In all the drafts I've played unpicked players were never named before they were picked, just in the hope someone had forgotten them and they found their way down to you.
So I'm finding this one very strange with everyone mentioning unpicked players.

SpaceCowb0y · 04-09-2014 9:43am

Second choice for a Mid but 19th for a Striker!! Surely Falcao/Aguero will still be available! :pac:

We're all too used to helping each other!!

Mr.Prodston · 04-09-2014 12:16pm

Chances are I'll be playing a "False 9"/no 9 by the time the draft comes back to me next but can't complain with Lloris, Mertesacker and Hazard so far

You have done very well for yourself so far! Bezuaua should come out with a nice team too the bastard! :pac: Forster and Ivanovic with 3rd pick for a forward! :rolleyes:

Unfortunately it´s not Forster… but Foster from WBA… (last pick available)
The striker will probably be Bojan…

Ah! i stand corrected so, that's up there with Adrián for poor choices haha! I feel better now :P

For those that wonder why I curse my luck... in the first draw I ended up 15/20. In the second I'm 16/20! Hopeless
