English Premier League VIII | Round 13

[Chewie]

Nah sorry no more teams left. The draft will most likely start in a day or two.

 

[Sartaj]

I think Viral has quit APL and some other league recently as he's busy with projects.
Give his team to someone active mate.

 

[Chewie]

I VMed him and he said he would be active. If he isn't after a few rounds of the draft I'll get someone else.

 

[Prats]

You can count on me for Viral's team as I'm active too much on PC

 

[Sartaj]

Pietersen's still in Hampshire squad.

 

[Chewie]

Good - if Viral isn't as active as I would like you can take over. But he might be fine.

Yea, he's there because it's based on the 2010 squads for the most part. I couldn't be bothered going through and changing the teams people play for. Removed most of the retired players though. There are probably some I haven't got.

 

[Prats]

Good - if Viral isn't as active as I would like you can take over. But he might be fine.

Ok..Fine

 

[CG123]

Dam, a draft.

 

[Chewie]

Dam, a draft.

Much easier to organise because I'm lazy. And it's too difficult to choose the English players to put into the draft because everyone wants certain people and so on. And you get problems like last time.

So I was like meh we'll have a draft. Didn't realise how long it'd take to put every single English domestic player into the third post...

 

[Viral Shah]

Well i can easily spare 15 mins at night for this EPL one. So no need of any other. And i would say that arrange the time of draft in such a manner that all the managers are available not 1 or 2. So the players are distributed properly.

 

[Sartaj]

Yeah,that a real headache.
There are too many players.
Sidebottom's still playing county cricket?

I won't be able to promise to have the draft start when everyone's active. I won't have the 'a different person has to start the next round of the draft rule' though because then people like Viral who can only come on for a short period during the day aren't disadvantaged by having to make the last picks each round - they alternate between the last and first each time.

Hopefully I'll be able to get on next week, I've got six exams in six days, so I wasn't really planning to come on.

I'll try to PM you once the draft gets underway.

I don't really mind a draft, it's just that there's only two English players I want, I couldn't care less after that. Both of them will go in the first round of a draft though, and I might not even get one of them.

 

[Chewie]

PlanetCricket is a good way to take a break from studying... at least that's what I did. I'm not here from sunday to wednesday so I guess I'll start the draft sometime in the day after I come back. So everyone has plenty of time to look through all the players and see who they want.

If you can't come online during the drafting period I'll make your picks for you if you pm me a list of players you want in preference order. I'll make the picks probably an hour after the round starts so that you're not the first one or something along those lines.
