    Am I reading the rules correctly in that we are only picking 1 player for each position and not going to end up with a squad of 15.

    Yes, that is correct. You will end up with just 4 players.
    They will be 4 unique players that no other entrant has.

    Ok new to this stuff. Is it not feasible to pick a 15 man squad?

    I'd say it's doable! Even picking a starting 11 could be good! Just use a standard 4-4-2 formation to avoid confusion and means there is less headaches tracking peoples player rotation for the week?

    Fill each position for each entrant before moving on to the next i.e keep selecting defenders until each entrant has 4 then move on to midfield and so on.

    The random selection would work the same way, move up the list for first selection then in reverse order for second selection and start again for the 3rd and 4th picks.

    I guess the main thing is just the admin for it becomes a fair bit more work. Easier to keep track of 4 players then 11 for each of us? Doable though!

    We would all just post our teams here to keep track, wouldn't be difficult. 11 would be good.

    I think 4 is fine, see how the season plays out and we'll have a better idea next year and plan properly.

    F1ngers: Goal, Def Courtois
    The whole year inn: Goal, Def
    Swiper the Fox: Goal, Def
    Mr Prodson: Goal, Def
    Nuts 102: Goal, Def
    Iused2likebusts: Goal, Def
    Copper Pipe: Goal, Def
    Dahat: Goal, Def
    PARlance: Goal, Def
    $hifty: Goal, Def
    One Cold hand: Goal, Def
    Slingerz: Goal, Def
    Trigger Happy: Goal, Def
    Lucas Hood: Goal, Def

    Spacecowb0y: Goal, Def
    Manual man: Goal, Def
    CSF: Goal, Def

    F1ngers, you are first up. Pick your goalie ASAP. Copy and paste the above list in your post so we can keep track. The whole year inn, you are after that etc etc!
    Once we have all picked our goalies and defenders I will do the randomiser again and away we go.

    Good luck Patrons!

    Courtois.

    I'm good to go with 11 if others are? Don't mind giving a hand with the organising either if necessary. A google doc for tracking scores would be handy etc

    Even a 2-2-1 formation would be a nice compromise? :)

    I doubt we would get 11 done before the start of this GW....

    Ok, lets just do the following.

    Gk, Def, Def,(Randomise again) Mid, Mid, Fw.

    If I need help from any of the boffins here on how to get my excel sheet to auto pull the weekly scores then I will ask ye!

    Sounds good! The few extra players will make it more interesting, and as Mr P said depending how it goes we'll have a better idea of things for next season to include a full 11 if possible!

    PM sent to the whole year inn.

    Lads, I'm about to go home now - takes me the guts of two hours to get home.

    If I can, I will make selection on way.
    But if not...apologies.

    I seem to be third. Is it just a goalkeeper I need to pick first time round?

    Goalkeeper, Defender 1, defender 2, randomise list, midfielder 1 midfielder 2, forward.

    Whoever picks a midfielder first shouldn't get to pick a forward first right?

    It'd go Mid 1, Forward, Mid 2?

    You and your clever ideas.
    But yes, good point.

    Goal keeper, Defender 1, Defender 2, Randomise, Midfielder 1, Forward, Midfielder 2.

    The committee approves this change. OP updated.

    If I picked a goalie third does that mean I get 18th and 23rd pick for the defenders? I'm not quite sure what is going on:o
