    I hadnt heard about him not playing initially

    #back to the drawing board ;whistle

    Woohoo! Budget league numbers swell to 5 teams! ;thumbsup

    I just had a look and realized I can suspend a player from the league. Not that I would do that if they were winning of course ;whistle ;hmm ;wink Or if their app didnt work when they were winning ;hmm ;biggrin

    Anyway, I reckon getting at least 10 into the league is very achievable once people have stopped tinkering with their non budget teams. So I will periodically cry, emotionally blackmail, beg and seduce with my English accent (eek that only works in California ;hmm )

    Baz, to help out, I'll throw in a free entry to FPL Draft for anyone who signs up ... Draft - where you have an UNLIMITED BUDGET! ;wahoo

    I'm sort of tempted by the draft thing... If I can stop tinkering with my normal FF squad I may jump in ;wahoo

    I think it will be interesting - it gets away from the situation where most people have the same 4 or 5 players. A different kind of challenge.

    Having said that, with 2 teams in 'normal' mode and a Draft team... and I'll be in 5 different leagues obsessively checking my scoring and the team selection of all my opponents, when will I have time for any fun? ;weep



    ;wink

    To make a budget team do I have to register as a new user?

    I can't see a way to make 2 teams with my Account...
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    yes, a different email address needed

    Well, it's not confirmed - I am making an educated guess based on info received. (I could be drawing a wrong conclusion.)

    Info as follows:

    - He was at the Confed. Cup until 2 July so has been 'on holiday' since then.

    - Slav said on the official site that he will be starting an individual pre-season programme now, and won't feature at all in the 2 Betway Cup matches today and tomorrow.

    So he's 3 weeks behind the rest of the squad.

    For me, the budget league, without those big guns to rely on means that we can conceivably have a whole squad of first teamers. That in itself will present problems with who to leave out some weeks.

    Whilst none of us will be able to do well to any degree in the whole over all standings, it'll be a test with limited players to see what different nuances are needed (along with luck of course) to get to the summit in our own limited private league.

    I think, alongside, the H2H league (which I grew to enjoy more last season as it went on), its a good challenge to us lot (as opposed to the millions of others out there).

    Banter and teasing is of course expected and encouraged ;biggrin

    We'll be trying to out-tactic each other ;biggrin
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    I looked at my squad for first game and actually had issues with who to leave out already. So you know that the benchers will do well ;doh ;weep
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    A weird thought came into my head just now (ok probably more than one), as I'm administrator, that it should be mandatory for every team to make 3 TFs every week ;lol

    Secondly, 2 players should be from West Ham (as its our team and nobody is over 7.5M anyway)

    Thirdly, at Xmas, we will be allowed 2 over 7.5M players in our squads for four game weeks (maybe to keep messing with the leader and giving them different things to deal with)

    Before I go on with another 7 rules, I think its a good job Im not actually in charge of anything ;wahoo ;lol
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Couple of folks asking about the codes ... seem to be easily overlooked in this thread so I've rejigged the H2H thread and put them in there, as an ANNOUNCEMENT.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    ;ok
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Have also entered the bargain basement league ;wahoo
  • alderzalderz
    How do you make a second team? Do you need two accounts?
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Yes. (so 2 email addresses)
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I've used my work email and my personal one.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    I have 2 of my own, and I can use grey's 1 that he doesn't need because he doesn't take part, and 3 others that are linked to the 606 site. ;If only I could find the time to manage 6 teams ;wahoo
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    And why doesnt Grey fancy a H2H and/or budget league fling ;hmm

    #bad show chaps
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    The predictor takes up too much time ;ok

    ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    One week to go.

    And 3 of my early selections are injured ;doh
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    ;ok

    The whole Pep rotation thing is a bit of a worry. I originally had 2 Man City players in, but one I've dropped and the other I'm ;hmm about. Will be interesting to see what they do this afternoon.
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    City and Arsenal are always tricky as they rotate a lot (and I can never afford Sanchez).

    I found that Spurs are Chelsea are the way to go and Liverpool front line for the top 6 teams...
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Chelsea might rotate now that they have European football again?
