We have some players in our draft who are already looking dodgy from an injury perspective...and who knows what who will bite the dust after the remaining internationals. Do we allow a brief 'emergency free for all transfer period on, say, friday afternoon, to allow the cull of the injured dross?

The only time that I could think of when transfers MIGHT be useful is the first week in February after the transfer deadline, but even then I think with the pace this has gone we wouldn't get it done in time for the following GW, so I'd leave it.

Also, since there's 20 of us, and everyone has a goalie from a different team, it would make sense for each person to have ownership of the backup goalies also, as i think it would be unfair to lose out on gk points completely should a particular goalie lose his place/become injured

manual_man wrote: » How so? It would require one extra pick per person. Takes out the hassle of transfer windows etc. It's not like this is a full game draft with everyone with a squad of 15, i'm all for keeping it simple while not penalizing people for things out of their control.

We have two transfer windows fixed in this game, g11 and 28 I think. I want to keep then to ensure we all keep some interest and banter thru the season.

Between gw 22 and 23 there is an fa cup weekend which would also be a good time for changes. This draft has been a godsend for us ff freaks as we don't know what to be doing in international breaks.
