I joke

Our first transfer window is the next international window I think. How do we go about this.

Suggestion: we get 2 transfers each. A random draw is made, same as during the draft, so first out gets 1st and last transfer, and so on. Would that work?

Can't think of a fair way to have just 1 transfer each.

Mr.Prodston

I'd suggest that whoever had 20th pick for a certain position had first choice for a sub and work things down that way. Most people would probably be happy with their picks and seems the fairest way of doing things?

Sounds like a fair option

I am liking this too. We declare the order and the time of transfer window in advance and give everyone..say 2 hours during daytime..to make their picks.
You can transfer in any player who is not in someone else's team.

If anyone has any other proposals please post here....but lets keep it relatively easy to admin and avoid any loopholes that are open to abuse!

Sounds fair. But is it actual SUBS we're gettin in, or is it just transfer out one of our picks for a still-available player?

Iused2likebusts

How many changes are we going to be allowed to make?

Spent 16 hours on airplanes yesterday and some of that time thinking about how to do this transfer window.

So here it is.
1) Transfer window opens 10th November, at about 9am, just after I post the Wk11 league table.
2) Order of picking will start with team in 20th position in the league goes first. Every players gets max two transfers.
3) When your turn to transfer comes you can choose to transfer out any 2 players in your team. You must replace your transferred out players with any player who is available. Managers can transfer out 2 or just 1 or can choose to 'pass'.
5) Once the last manager (ie whoever is 1st in the league table) has made his transfers then the window closes. The transfer window will reopen again just after the GW24 league table is published, approx 9 feb.
6) 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.
7) To avoid the messing we had last time around, if you miss your turn then tough.
8) 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.

Sounds good to me any chance of doing it a week later will help break the boredom of the international break.

Not a great week for my risky team no mangela or Walcott or costa and Azpilicueta sent off. Oscar my saving grace.

Dear Patrons,
Copper Pipe has been caught. Repeat. Copper Pipe has been caught. Bezuaua has joined him at the top with an impresive record breaking 47 points this week.
Speaking of record breaking weeks, your honorable host has scored 2 points this week and takes the wooden spoon prize for most pathetic weekly score. Can anyone ever get lower than that?
Last weeks wooden spoon holder, $hifty has taken over bottom place...One Cold hand leapfrogging him. Dahat, CSF, PARlance are now firmly within his sights.
The average score this week was the same as the last 2 weeks, just over 17 points.
And same as last week, 27 of our players scored 0 or less. The transfer window is just around the corner.

One positive from that early game, Jovetic should start a few more games instead of Dzecko.

Dear Patrons, greetings from the south of france.
Copper Pipe has retaken the top of the league....showing a will of Iron in doing so. But the chasing pack are still in the hunt with Shano88 getting in on the action.
Last week we posted the question if Trigger Happy's 2 point wooden spoon record could ever be bettered, well it nearly was. Trigger Happy again scores 2 points. Thats 4 points in 2 weeks. The race to the bottom is well and truely on.
However, $hifty is still in bottom place, but Onecoldhand has extended the gap by 1 point. Manual man gets top score for the week, his 34 points leaving the rest of us in the shadows.
The average score this week was the same as the last 3 weeks.... 17 points.

Dear Patrons,
First a reminder that the transfer window will open on 10 Nov at about 9am. For those of us propping up the league this is good news. Rules for the transfer window are posted above.
Bezuaua has retaken the top of the league....and is closely shadowed by Spacecowb0y and Copper pipe. Shano88 is closing the gap on the top three though and his 36 points is the top score of the week.
$hifty has consolidated his place at the foot of the table with a depressingly low 4 points. With a 16 point gap between him and One Cold hand it looks like $hifty will take some shifin from 20th spot.
The average score this week has dropped to 16 points. A massive 25 players scored 0 or less....that is 20% of total players picked. The transfer window is indeed needed.

Dear Patrons, I am too stunned by my own 3 points, and One Cold Hand getting out of the relegation places to make any comments this week.
