tomsky_11 Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Think we are missing @avfcDJ @andykeenan @dont_do_it_doug. @a-k. I'll push time back to 9pm. Then if not more teams in by 8.30 think its worth postponing to a later date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shomin Geki Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I'm gonna be away for the big draft on Thursday unfortunately. I guess I'll just order my players and hope for the best! We're still on, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As previously mentioned, next week might work better anyway if those teams do join as will give even number of games against every other team. Plus another week of transfers might give more player options for the draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have messaged the three I think we're waiting on and had one reply so we should be at 8 teams in now at least. I'm happy to run with that but knowing at least one of the 8 is unavailable tonight, and to give the others a chance to join, I'm happy to push back to next week. I'd say we cut off next week whoever is in. If we've got 9 or 10 (ideally!) in at that point then great, we'll go ahead with the draft Thursday 26th 8pm UK time. If we only have 8 teams in next week we fix it at that, but then we may want to consider moving draft til after GW3 given 1) that will be after the transfer window has closed, and 2) would give us even number of games against the other teams with 35 GWs left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be very surprised if he wasn't added in time for next week. Just looked again at this and new players like Lukaku still not available in our draft room. Quickly tested setting up a new league to see if issue is when our league was set up and... Lukaku and other new players are available in the draft room! So, given we still only have 7 in the league I'm tempted to say we postpone until transfer window closes, then reset the league and start GW4 after international break. Means all players are available in draft and even number of matchups. Thoughts? @maqroll, @villaluke, @skarroki, @Shomin Geki, @a-k, @bobzy Also @avfcDJ @dont_do_it_doug. @andykeenan if you are still looking to join please let me know before Thursday as if we go above 8 teams will be better to draft this week. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Sounds like a good call on both counts (all players and even numbers in 7 man league, sooner rather than later if 8+ man league) @tomsky_11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I bet if you start a thread in Other Football for this league, you will get three more managers in before Thursday. Most VTers don't read the Gaming forum threads. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 One thing to say is if you have 7, which we did in VT1 last year, you get an opponent which is just 'Gameweek Average'. While this isn't great, it also isn't the end of the world if you have an odd number of teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
