also why does everyone want somerset?!?!?!? Whistle

I'm going to throw it out there too, if someone can contribute to filling the final spaces, their team will receive an added bonus!

Get searching lads!

by hodge Mon 13 Feb 2012, 4:49 am

I already tried contributing...... Whistle

by Marky Mon 13 Feb 2012, 10:30 am

I tell you what. If you add a bigger budget to the lesser sides, they wont be so unappealing.

by **Fists of Fury** Mon 13 Feb 2012, 10:42 am

I'm very sorry guys but I'm going to have to give this one a miss. Already struggling to keep on top of various duties.

Should any impartial decisions need to be made at any point, feel free to let me know.

Likewise, when you are ready to get going with it let me know and I will alter the title of the IPL sub-section to EPL.

by hodge Mon 13 Feb 2012, 11:59 am

does 15 people make it easier?

5 per area, remove Glamorgan, Derbyshire and Gloucestershire? then move one of the teams from south division to north/wales division?

by GG Mon 13 Feb 2012, 12:05 pm

Agree with hodge. Stick their players on the releases page, they may have one or two decent players but aren't good enough for anyone to want them.

by Guest Mon 13 Feb 2012, 12:49 pm

Potentially, lads.

Gregs, could you pm me when you see this.

by hodge Mon 13 Feb 2012, 1:47 pm

hopefully teams will be posted after i go food shopping, right guys? Whistle

by Marky Mon 13 Feb 2012, 1:49 pm

I just want to be allocated a team so I can get on with it Laugh

by guildfordbat Mon 13 Feb 2012, 2:16 pm

Just a casual observer looking in

You guys had better get a move on. I understand CF had his alarm clock set every hour through the night to see if he had got Essex. He's now taken the afternoon off work and is rushing back to check things! Wouldn't want to be in your shoes if you've given him the Unicorns or similar! Very Happy

nah he hasn't found out yet he has to form a team from a mix of glamorgan, gloucestershire and derbyshire and because its 3 teams rolled into one he gets one of the smallest budgets as well laughing

by GG Mon 13 Feb 2012, 2:26 pm

I think Shanky and CF should be made to have some sort of a competition with the loser getting the unicorns

Question Gregers, has a rules page for this league been posted yet? Interested in knowing where we take the squad from, ie do we copy and paste from wikipedia? In which case as Somerset I would have Gayle, Morkel and Phillander in my squad already? or are overseas left out.

Am I in and do I have a team?

Somerset Surrey or Kent please!

by Guest Mon 13 Feb 2012, 5:00 pm

You're Kent, Bathite.

by JDizzle Mon 13 Feb 2012, 5:08 pm

Are we sticking to the IPL rules of 5 overseas per team? If so, the auction is going to be huge and have a lot of top, top players in! Superb!

Great work Sainty/Gregers!

by Guest Mon 13 Feb 2012, 5:10 pm

Yeah, same rules apply but obviously 6 English players and 5 overseas.

Still some stuff to thrash out first before we can kick off!!

by Guest Mon 13 Feb 2012, 5:12 pm

Then technically, you may be alright, I'll let Gregers clarify though!

by Guest Mon 13 Feb 2012, 5:29 pm

will fossie keep the essex captaincy?

these are the important questions!

by Gregers Mon 13 Feb 2012, 5:39 pm

Two Announcements

1) KOLPAK PLAYERS

Any KOLPAK player who is already registered as such counts towards your English/EU player count for this fantasy league.

Maximum of 2 kolpak players per match day squad tho (so you cant have 6 kolpaks!

2) Creation of new side

Gloucestershire Gladiators, Glamorgan Dragons and Derbyshire Falcons have all been liquidated by the EPL running committee.

The players from their squads will be combined into a 606v2 Unicorns side.

Unicorns Side Contains
