Am I allowed to go over squad limits as long as they're back down for injuries?

I know Miky has already checked squad numbers but wouldn't it make sense for them to be recorded at the time of doing injuries?

Oh, that's a good point. Really it needs to be both as the potential benefit could come at both time of injuries and tactics

Yes to the first question, how you manage the squad is up to you but you have to adhere to the 25 player ruling when the cut off is.

We could but id like to get more opinions. For above, we will go with Afro and not do the new week schedule until after tuesday

by Trebs Fri 13 Oct 2017, 12:51 pm

Why not lock squads before injuries are done, to stop people using deals to circumvent shortcomings in their squad.

by Holymiky Fri 13 Oct 2017, 12:52 pm

I take it you wouldnt include domestics in that?

by Trebs Fri 13 Oct 2017, 12:54 pm

So squads are locked Thurs morning with the announcement of injuries and lawyers immediately after that.
Then tactics in by end of Friday as usual.

That would be all deals in my head, domestics included would go through but players wouldn't be eligible till the following gameweek

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 13 Oct 2017, 1:05 pm

I have no idea whats going on but i got my tactics in plz confirm you got em maggle

by Holymiky Fri 13 Oct 2017, 1:18 pm

I had deja vu! That's an approach you always want to see isn't it Laugh

I actually agree with it so it would get an aye vote from me.

by **Hero** Fri 13 Oct 2017, 2:02 pm

I personally prefer people being to do deals to sort out after injuries, don't think it's been something that's stimulated the league when it's been tried to oppress it beforehand.

Potentially it would help the longevity of the league as people would look to spread the money across their squad more, rather than going for the bigger names.

Whilst rushing off to a meeting

by Holymiky Fri 13 Oct 2017, 9:36 pm

Love the fact we have had over 800 posts in not far over a week, nice work lads.

I've posted the template ready for tactics, none have been posted yet - Will be posting soon after midnight.

Remember to look at the fixture list to remind yourselves of what games you need to vote on.

Thanks. My OCD is kicking in though - Miky please could you add a space or two between the table with the team URLs and the table with the other URLs. It's bugging me

This is now done

by Marky Sat 14 Oct 2017, 8:30 am

When voting, do we just say who we think wins and why?

Bored at work. In the mood for deals.

by **Hero** Sat 14 Oct 2017, 10:24 am

I'm stuck at a conference in Edinburgh so I'm also up for deals.
Oh and best of luck in our game!

by Marky Sat 14 Oct 2017, 10:34 am

Same to you.

I was going to comment on your side but I'd best not, I'll only be accused of influencing voters Laugh

by TwisT Sat 14 Oct 2017, 10:54 am

I'm also up for deals today

by Holymiky Sat 14 Oct 2017, 11:30 am

Yes Marky who wins and why is fine

by Brooksey79 Sat 14 Oct 2017, 9:02 pm

by Holymiky Sun 15 Oct 2017, 12:39 pm

Anyone want to volunteer to vote on the following game this week instead of Nando? He has had a family emergency come up.

Kalamazoo Outrage v Shakhtar Senseless (I would but i'm already voting alongside Twist) and obviously it can't be Hero or Marky.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 15 Oct 2017, 1:03 pm

I will for 500k

by GSC Sun 15 Oct 2017, 1:45 pm

I will for £20

by **Afro** Sun 15 Oct 2017, 2:41 pm

I’ll vote on the Marky v Hero game, but Nando is also voting on my game v Trebs, so we need an additional voter for that game too

by Holymiky Sun 15 Oct 2017, 2:42 pm

I said i will do it Afro, maybe i said it to myself not on here Laugh

no problems.

by Holymiky Mon 16 Oct 2017, 9:08 am

Morning all

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 16 Oct 2017, 9:44 am

Afro wins sheep as he was the only one to do it Laugh

by Holymiky Mon 16 Oct 2017, 9:46 am

No I think it was sufficient - what do I win?

by **Hero** Mon 16 Oct 2017, 10:22 am

A night with Olly's mum.

by **Afro** Mon 16 Oct 2017, 10:42 am

not sure I'll get a night when she isn't working

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 16 Oct 2017, 11:10 am

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 16 Oct 2017, 12:37 pm

Seeing as Bam hasn't got tactics in - can I post mine in here for feedback plz (assuming this is ok Maggle)

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 16 Oct 2017, 12:39 pm

also why cant i vote for a draw

by **Afro** Mon 16 Oct 2017, 12:45 pm

Afro wrote:Mainly because it gave an easy option and people used to sit on the fence. The leagues used to have loads of draws.

But more so, its the way the voting works - 3 people vote, each picks their winner. It worked well in the last league due to its simplicity and ease, and we weren't waiting for people to do their votes every week.

by Marky Mon 16 Oct 2017, 12:55 pm

Are we all just waiting for 9am tomorrow?

Miky are you waiting to post all results at the same time, or is it worth posting the games where everyone has voted already?

by **Afro** Mon 16 Oct 2017, 12:56 pm

I still need to vote on my 3 games, but probably won't get to them until this evening sorry

by **Afro** Mon 16 Oct 2017, 12:58 pm

Also, is everyone aware of change to TP timings - the week resets tomorrow for new TPs, then the following week starts on Friday at 9am. It will then reset every Friday at 9am

by Holymiky Mon 16 Oct 2017, 1:13 pm

I might post some tonight IF I have the correct votes for them yes but my plan is to do them tomorrow night tbh. I wont be able to do them in the day as I have a lot on.
