Just wondering who's interested in doing this again...?
We had 8 players last year, so it would be good to get that number again. 11 would be ideal.
It works like this. Everyone taking part has to pick a fantasy team made up of Premiership players. The difference is the players will be picked one at a time in a US-style draft. Everyone takes turns until everyone has 11 players.
To make it fair, the order changes in each round of the draft so whoever had first pick in the previous round, goes last in the next round. You can only pick 2 players from any one club. I'm currently debating whether to use The Sun's player list and points from last season or try a different one...
So who's interested?

Yes.
You could use the ones from Premier League, I think they're better as it's just from the Premiership, gives points to assits and there's no blatant bias like there is from The Sun's reporters when judging how well players did.

Yeah, I was looking at that one earlier. Their player list looks better as well.

Also, I was wondering whether to have a random order for the first round, like last year, or use last year's positions in some way (eg, as last season's winner, I would go last in the first round).

I have no idea what you're talking about, so here's a bunny with a pancake on its head.

That takes us up to 6. That's probably the minimum amount I'd accept but I'd like to try and get up to 11...

Greend, Earl P, MK, Tom, Robin might all play, worth a pm?

Greend, Earl P, MK, Tom, Robin might all play, worth a pm? Jade and Tom might play. Robin was in it last year so he should again. I can't see Manic being interested and Earl P will probably find some fault with the game and spend the whole time moaning about it. We're also missing musicfan and Matt Aloud (who's rarely here these days) from last season.

So any chance of this starting or is the idea scrapped?

I've sort of been sidetracked with Havenvision and watching the Olympics so I'm really not sure I'm going to have time to get this going, particularly as we're down on numbers compared to last season.
I'll see what I can do next week...

I'm happy to help make up the numbers

I think it started late last year as well, because you allowed us to pick the players and have their points on our total? Do it when you have the time, if you can

Yeah it did and I remember it took an absolute age to choose our players. Anyway, thanks for the update mrh
