8 team draft pay league - €50

Green&Red · 15-07-2017 6:55pm #1

Fair enough, I'll propose running a €50 league with 8 teams. I'll leave registration open until July 23rd. We'll split then based on the list from the previous thread, into however many groups we need. After that each league can agree a draft date. If we can't agree on it then default will be 8pm on the Wednesday before season starts. For fairness I'll call consensus to be 7 teams in agreement.

This may Or may not work out for you/me. If it doesn't work then I'm happy to drop out last minute (before draft starts) so it doesn't effect the league overall.

I live in Sydney so my availability would be between 6am and 3pm or from 10pm until the early hours. Any day of the week. All times suggested are local time Ireland.

Also to get through it rapidly we should look at Skype but maybe WhatsApp would make more sense ?

Green&Red · 16-07-2017 3:57pm

10pm doesn't seem unreasonable

Dearg81 · 16-07-2017 5:50pm

I'd be up for this. 10pm onwards would be the best time for me too.

Should I remove my name from the big list of names in the fpl draft league thread? I've no interest in doing more than 1 draft league.

22-07-2017 12:58am

What date are we thinking of doing the draft ?

Are we going to cut it fine, so as many transfers as possible have gone through, or are we thinking early August and just box it off ?

I have holidays to book so I'll book them depending on the agreed draft date.

Dearg81 · 22-07-2017 3:26pm

I'd prefer as close to the start of the season as possible so we have a fair idea of how teams will line out.

22-07-2017 11:20pm

So how about Tuesday the 8th of August at 10.30pm ?

What do you think of wrapping this up green&red as the 23rd has passed ?

I'm happy with 7 if everyone else is.

Maybe have an agreement on draft day and time ?

Finally, set a cut off date for payment like 1st of August ? Would give us 5-7 days to find a replacement if necessary.

Chesty08 · 24-07-2017 11:15pm

I'm happy lads. Agree on a draft date, are we looking at next Weekend, week before PL starts?

Who is collecting funds?

I've proposed Tuesday the 8th of August at 10.30pm for the draft.

I think payment should be in a week earlier in case we need to find replacements. So 1st of August proposed as cut off for payment ?

Edit. - I'd be happy to do a dummy run draft maybe on the 2nd of August at 10.30pm so we can iron out any kinks if needs be. Gives us a chance to sort out how we randomly generate the draft order and if we should use WhatsApp etc.

I'm happy enoug with that TB as we originally suggested 8.

Edit - anyone else who wants in should go on a shortlist in case of dropouts.

Yep I'm pretty flexible with time so happy with August 8th at 10.30 if others agreeable.

Think the game itself randomises the draft order - surely we'll get it done in one go without a dry run what's app could be a good idea though to help things run smoothly.

SteelyDanJalapeno · 24-07-2017 11:45pm

Nice one, any time suits me

Green&Red · 25-07-2017 7:46pm

Happy with all of what Klopp has said there. Happy with August 8th at 10.30pm and a trial run the week beforehand, I think that wouldn't be a bad idea to make sure one of us doesn't f**k it up for ourselves

Looking like 8 of us so

I'm happy enough to be treasurer but likewise happy enough for someone who has been on here longer to take that on.

Would we say 1st €300, 2nd €100?

SteelyDanJalapeno · 25-07-2017 9:32pm

Yep sounds good to me, not sure we need a dummy run but I'm happy to go along with it anyway.

Let me know payment details,

25-07-2017 11:41pm

In hindsight I agree we can probably do without the dummy run.

My main concern was randomising the picks but that's done automatically.

If there are any major fúck ups we can do it all again 24 hours later.

No point in me receiving fees as I'm in Aussie dollars.

Green&Red · 26-07-2017 2:54pm

Ok, if nobody has any objections I'll PM my bank details to everyone and we'll get payment sorted for August 1st.

You should have this now, Boards seems to be acting up a little today so they are not showing up in my sent items, if anyone hasn't received it let me know

SteelyDanJalapeno · 26-07-2017 3:13pm

Received and sent!

Dearg81 · 26-07-2017 3:21pm

I haven't got them yet.

Does anyone know if you can enter more than 1 draft league? I'm thinking of doing 2 but this would be my number 1 choice if you can only do 1.

Not sure, but a work around might be a dummy account? might be a nightmare keeping track of 3 different teams thou

PM wouldn't go through, but payment has.

I see the suggested starting date is the 8th....would it be worth putting it back a week to see what other transfers go through....thinking of a certain Mr. Sanchez!

26-07-2017 11:01pm

The PM's seem to be acting up.

Green&Red can I pay you via PayPal rather than bank transfer ?

If yes then pm me your PayPal details. If not then I'll need to PayPal one of the other guys in this league for them to forward it to you.

Not quite.

I need the email address linked to that account.

Also, when I reply to your pm's they are not going through.

So can you pm me your full email address that is linked to your PayPal ?

Apparently you can enter 10 separate draft teams on the 1 account!

27-07-2017 3:19pm

Not looking forward to the 6.30am start at all.

Did you set a time period between picks ?

Its currently set at 90 seconds that might be default thou, but that would mean 3 hours in total, maybe 60 seconds is better but try be quicker.

Chesty08 · 28-07-2017 1:40pm

Payment and entry to draft league done. good luck and speak to you all Tuesday 8th at 10:30pm

mectavba · 28-07-2017 6:42pm

60 seconds for definite I would say

Dearg81 · 28-07-2017 8:31pm

What happens if you exceed the time limit? Is it a random autopick?

There is a help section on the fpl draft site:

None taken.

Had a quick re-read of the thread and both your questions were answered on the draft league help site - I wouldn't link the site if I didn't find the answer there myself.

Some here will answer without linking, just depends on who sees it first.

With your Premier League account you can enter up to 10 private and 3 public leagues. You'll need to draft a new squad for each league though.

Depending on private league settings, you will be given between 30 and 120 seconds (default 90) to pick a player for your squad. If you fail to pick a player within the time limit then the following criteria will be used to make an automatic pick:

Select the highest priority player from your watchlist who is both available and in a position you still require.
Select the highest ranked available player in the draft list in a position you still require.
If an automatic pick is made then you will be marked as being offline and picks will be automatically made in subsequent rounds. You can mark yourself online again in the draft room to resume manual drafting.

Dearg81 · 29-07-2017 1:11am

Thanks, I didn't see that separate rules tab at the top of the help page. I'm gonna have to build a proper watch list for the first time ever I think. The auto pick by player ranking is a bit vague though, I assume they determine rank by price?
