Thurs 29th March at 8pm is my early suggestion.

We all know how vital it is that everyone is present for the draft so if there are any problems please let me know early. The auction draft can take a long time but 8pm gives everyone a chance to get back from work and lets Dave wax his bikini line and Z put his best summer frock on.

I will try to cater for everyones needs but i know its impossible to please everyone unfortunately!

29th and 8pm is good for me - but I think we miss a couple of regular season games that are being played in Japan

Make it a week earlier. What's with everybody drafting season's eve.

PS: I don't actually care.

Some of us haven't started our homework yet!

OK, If i changed the date to Thursday 22nd at 8pm, would everyone be ok with that?

I wanted the extra week to lose more weight to fit into my draft one-zi but , you know, whatever......

If we could do it not on a Thursday it would be better for me as I would rather not explain I am missing football training to do a fantasy draft but if needs be I will do. Also training isn't until 9 so if it is on a Thursday could we do it at say 7 to give me a chance of blowing my money in the first 2 hours?

Any time after the Friday 16th as i'm at Cheltenham all next week but if it is next week I can get someone to draft for me (who could probably do a better job than i usually do)

Due to a clash with the Auction Keeper league, how does everyone feel about the date being Friday the 23rd at 8pm? I know its a Friday but im struggling with dates to try and keep the majority happy.

Think this date could work.
Report Nilsson Schmilsson March 9, 2012 7:52 PM GMT
fine by me, whats wrong with the 27th ?
Report zeeny March 9, 2012 8:46 PM GMT
I'll make it friday, but it will lead to an awkward conversation about the importance of fantasy baseball. Also, we got our date first
THE KEEPER LEAGUE has to move!

We can move the Keeper to the 27th.

If one of my greyhounds is running I am not sure I could make that Friday.

Thursday 22nd march at 8.

Trying to keep everyone happy but its proving hard. im going to stick with this date then. Sorry Buckio, but the Thursday seems to be the only date and an earlier start will be harder for more people to make.

Dave, i am on nights 27th and 28th. If need be, i can try and take the 27th off. If this is to be the date, ill attempt to book the day off tmrw :)

Ok no worries since the keeper league is definitely running this year I will drop out of the standard auction and save a bit of cash and allow myself to focus on just the two leagues which should basically guarantee me winning them!
Report orioles March 10, 2012 11:49 AM GMT
A wise choice - the Keeper league is going to emerge as the most interesting and rewarding league.
Report zeeny March 10, 2012 12:18 PM GMT
Yeah, that way both auction leagues will end with 11-12 players instead of having one league with 16. Certainly a wise choice that will be great entertainment for all. I've always wanted to pick Matt Holliday from FA.

14 players now in the auction league. Its still deep enough imo, 16-18 would have been better tho.

All welcome Happy

Just to be clear, this is a keeper league, not a single season league, so it's a big commitment.

If you still want to join, by all means do.

Will be keeping you honest , you wont get Kershaw for 5 dollars!!

   One question , how do you calculate expected auction values with 17 players?
   I suppose the cheatsheet values are for 10 player leagues?

Would i be right in thinking that in a 20 player league , the prices would be around double?
Report Nilsson Schmilsson March 26, 2012 6:37 PM BST
you never know with an auction, just have to see how the market sets, bound to be some players who will look like steals and some who will look like buys only kenny dalglish would make.
