Yes, this is the week that Roy is unavailable and I am in charge. I have a few things to deal with and was also waiting for Richard at DUB but he has not responded to in ox message on SESL or to email so I will pick for him and then we will be ready to move to the blind draft.

It kind of makes sense that I run the draft as I am last to pick but on the hand, I don't have tye where with all to update the front page properly. Bear with me...

Certainly seems to have ground to a half Dave! 

Let's hope they get the wheels moving again soon. 

Has it stopped for a reason - just I know what we would like in the blind draft and we aren't getting close to my picking. Just asking.. 😉🤔

We'll take

#35 1/13FW Luis Suarez 

#69 0/7DF Nico Tagliafico 

5 2/18 SW or 6 2/18 MF Gareth Garrano

88/89 0/6 UT or 81 0/7 FW Mike Misaki

In order of preference:

88 0 6 UT - JA Pérez Caminero

88 0 6 UT - Juan Manuel Asensi

19 1 15 WG - Carles Rexach

11 1 15 GK - Juan Antonio Deusto

26 1 14 WG - Óscar Valdez

59 0 8 MF - Ignacio Churruca

60 0 8 MF - Javier Planas

62 0 8 WG - JA García Soriano

You have to select the cell/s in the table you want to add colour to

right click and choose cell properties

then you can change the colour on the next screen

I wanted a light green for the 'go' option but the only green I could find made it hard to see the black print

it does allow colours like tan and cyan

I'll take #22 1/14 DF The Chronicler and #27 1/14 FW Kvothe

SFR will take a punt on ....

1. last 0, 8 DF (if gone we'll try one of the 0, 6 UT) - Tack Ull

2. 0, 6 UT -  Youz Full

If we end up with 2x UT please can you downgrade Ken Cgchenjunga to an MF, thanks.

Also TNS 0,8 FW is #65 as 64 is already taken at MT

Thanks

I should be able to fix the colours if you give me access

Found it - it's backslash. Who would have thought!

£8 2/16 DF Ben Lucini

£63 0/8FW Vinnie Patterson

It might be a key board language thing,Colin.If # is above the 3 it should have US as language on the bottom right of the screen. 

I've a vague feeling that _  shows # also

So, it turns out my chrombook does not have a hashtag. Well, it does, but what actually gets displayed is £.

Also, not so good with colours so you need to work that out yourself until someone who knows how to add colour is about.

If I am not mistaken it is ACS and TNS next...

Roy tells me he is on his hols this week and probably won't be able to update the table. I will have a go tomorrow and we can keep this moving along.

The last two both go out as both Spurs and (more predictably) West Ham both lose.  This means we have a rollover, double prize money of 400k next time - I think that's right.

I will put LMS on ice until the new SFLSL season starts.  Until then, here's the list of past winners to keep you thoroughly amused....

Can we have 

#85 0/7 SD Nicolăs Otamendi

and

#87 0/7 MA Johnny Crossan

First: #87 0/7 MA (or #86 0/7 DM) Sylvester Iamato.

Second: #61 (or #62) 0/8 WG Hank Nandy.

I've updated the front page with the picks so far

LBC, PNE and MT are up next

Regular donor here acknowledging that I play across all three leagues. Standing order monthly ....

Little hard to keep track of what's picked. 

I think #14 and #20 are still available

#14 Alan Robertson

#20 Ian Fallis

Cheers

1st pick - #18. 1, 15 MA (or a 1, 15 MF if gone) - Djibril Soumare

2nd pick - #42. 0, 10 MF (or highest SL age 0 MF if gone) - Sydie Peck

Thanks

I'll try and update it in the morning.

Les - ITP picked those two players the day before

#48 and #49 would get you a 0/9 SW and 0/9 DF which I will assume you want for now

Mark I'm guessing you want #46 0/9 GK, the two 0/10 GKs have been taken

The TB was brought on as something additional that could be bought via donation with the special abilities as listed on the front page.

It was then converted so that it was TP that was used instead.

Are these TP a replacement from the training bonus mentioned in the wiki? Or do both still exist?

No typo.

As per my blog of 16/10, ALL teams will receive an extra 10TP regardless of donation. Division 2 teams will get another 3TP as normal. That makes 13TP for all Division 2 teams.

It is an experiment to see if we still get the same level of donations. Could we even see more!

Sorry, slightly tardy, not been online much this week...

39 0/10 SW Glenn Roeder

40 0/10 DF John Anderson

Thanks

Lowest GK, 36 or 37 or 55 or 56 called John McKay

2nd pick: 45, 42, 40, 39 called Shaun Batty

We will go for pick #1 to be #53,#65 or #63 called Heavydirtysoul

Pick #2 to be #40, #50 or #49 called RAWFEAR

Thank you

G

Thanks, David. Very helpful!

WBB will go for the 0/10 FW and the 0/9 WG in that case

Welcome Andrew. Not sure about the colours tbh. The reason why some teams havent picked yet is ... well simply because they haven't picked yet :D

The draft moves on if picks aren't made in a timely manner just so it doesn't drag on. The 'missing' teams will full in whenever they reply. 

Your team is up, so post your picks and if you get in before a team that is before you in the draft then all good for you. See Roy's post on 14/10 for an example of the draft being 'moved on'.

Bit confused on the process here - Is the ordering of the list on the front page accurate? If so, what do the colors mean? How have 2 through 5, 7, 8, and 11 picked but not teams 1, 6, 9, and 10?

BIB sends Jet Jaguar (2/16 MF) to MM for Navigating (4/21 FW)

Would be good if it isn't though a little late for my rebuild

I thought it was a typo but was repeated. Is this a new thing cuz I thought it was 3 TP.

Also, ALL division 2 teams will get an additional 13 TP added after the start of the season. CP costs 50k each with a max of 50. TP max is 40 before the added 13 and TP costs 80k each. These can be purchased when preseason is switched on.

The rules page needs an update - my bad.

The draft works with each team picking two players from the list in the first round. Teams pick in order - lowest league finish pick first and Champions pick last. The order is shown on the front page.

Second round is blind picks. One pick per team in the same order as before. The remianing players from the first round are put into catagories based on their position. You pick a number/position and hope for the best.

That is about it, except, you can then scour your new guys and if you fancy redrafting one of them you can do so for a cost of 2 TP. The player is then deleted and replaced with someone else with an SL added - just for fun.

I think that covers it...

HI all - good to be back in SFLSL again after a short stint over a decade ago.

Can anyone point me towards a good resource for understanding how the draft works? I read the wiki page, but was left with a few more questions than answers on this topic.

ITP will take (assuming they haven't gone elsewhere):

39 - 0/10 DF - Cameron Walkinshaw

40 - 0/10 SW - Javier Campos

I have updated the front page.

Probably early, but just in case ...

pick 1: 1st of #3 2/20 FW, #43 0/10 WG, #44/45 0/10 FW, #42 0/10 MF
pick 2: 1st of #43 0/10 WG, #44/45 0/10 FW, #42 0/10 MF, #40/41 0/10 DF

pick 1: Mechagodzilla
pick 2: Glenn Manning

We are set - well, behind the scenes. Tables are in place and matches are scheduled - just no start date, so they will not being showing yet. I have randomly allocated refs to all matches :-)

We have a full set of managers with the addition of Andrew Foss-Grant at WBB - Welcome Andrew!

When we are near completion of the draft I will turn on preseason.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, I am, as always, asking kindly for donations - link on front page. However, as an experiment, I am going to add an additional 10TP to ALL teams regardless of donation.

We at Sanctuary support site the most and I think we will continue to do so as we now have the mindset that we donate at the start of every new season. Let's just keep that going.

Now, those with an eagle eye might have already read the update from Mark on his St Johnstone team page - if you have not already done so, I suggest you check it out. It is expensive to run this operation. Well, for one person to bear the costs, it is expensive, but between 32 of us chipping in, it is easily achievable.

Just a thought...
