Okay no worries, on my phone. Give me a couple of minutes

I understand why you would have European players in the top 10 of BCWRONGS but they should be in a completely separate pool, you numpty.Originally Posted by Bad Collin
9 of the top 10 in "Grims Sheet of Pretty Colours" have either all been taken or were keepers.
Mario balotelli (Manchester city)
Levski S_O_Fia have come to an agreement for the signing of
Rory McCallister (Peterhead)
Their manager is quoted as saying "Well he's no Jon Shaw but he'll do"
Great pick there SoF, I have no idea how he has lasted so long in this draft. Look after him buddy.
EDIT: And get his bloody name right
I'm like Jim Smith mate. Names aren't important.
True enough son_of_Gobbledy Gooker
I was going to take him over Jelavic. But as I said heart over head.
I still don't understand the European players thing.
Which bit? Only the top 6 teams or something get european players. The rest of us have to make do with players who play in eligible leaguyes (Scotland and England).I still don't understand the European players thing.
Hurry up Chris Scott, BBF and Mikey
Otherwise it will get late again and you guys will be stuck waiting for me to pick tomorrow...
Grim I can take a list if you want
Leave me some names if you want Grim.
My pick may be delayed since my list is at home and I'm in Sheffield
Basically you dont get one as you didnt qualify for Europe last season. Dont worry about it too much, it will make sense to you as the season goes on.I still don't understand the European players thing.
You can however take a risk on a player in Europe (or indeed the world) if you think he is going to sign for a team in an eligible. So say for example you had heard that Tottenham where about to sign lets say Robert Lewandowski you could pick him but you will be left short if he doesnt sign for you at some point in this window and will then be forced to pick up another player.
Also say you did sign Lewandowski with your first pick and then Beefy or whoever takes him with his Euro pick later in the draft you will lose him anyway as his Euro pick takes precedence over your normal pick.
My advice is not to worry about foreign based players unless you have insider info or something. And if you wanted to take one wait until the bottom end of the draft where the loss of the player should he not sign wouldnt be so bad.
Top six in the league + the winner of the cup get the chance to draft a player from any of the main European leagues. You can only pick one player and you can't swap him for another Euro player later (for example Jay had David Villa last season as his Euro player and once he got injured he had to swap him out for a domestic player).I still don't understand the European players thing.
We also have a second cup competition called the MMH Cup which also gives everyone access to a European player. Teams are eliminated from the MMH Cup when they don't score a goal amongst their eight squad players in a single week. The last team standing wins a Euro player which they can keep for the duration of the next MMH Cup (which starts the following game week).
Currently turdpower & MMH are in the final two of this current MMH Cup.
EDIT - or what MMH said
OK, I think I get it.
Why the shrug? Which bit are you struggling with mate. Treat us like Jonny 5 we need more input son holla
Na I was just shrugging in a sort of "I think I get it, we'll see"
Yeah just see how it play outs.
Biggest tip that you could get right now, Simon, is something which gets said every year. Don't worry too much about the draft. Obviously try to get the best squad that you can but you'll find that the vast majority of teams are completely different by mid October to what they are at the end of the draft itself.
This game is all about picking up players through the season and picking the right five players on a Saturday.
Why is that?
This.
Because whilst we're all convinced when we draft a player that he's going to be an example of how great we are at spotting talent, actually we're not. Plus often you'll pick a player convinced that he's going to score 20 goals once he gets into his club's side but the reality of only having eight spots available to you means that you often don't have the luxury of being able to wait so you end up dropping him for someone who happens to be playing against Barnet the next Saturday.
It's just the way the game works out. Obviously if you can pick up a Robin van Persie or Jordan Rhodes in the draft then brilliant but more flops get drafted than success stories.
Ah ok.
I started following a bunch of Rajah people that BBF mentioned yesterday, but other than Grimario I don't know who they are. Who are TheMikeChilds and MackAttack?
Mikey_Jones and I think the other is Alex.
I got this request from SOB and my first thought was "why the fuck is Seanny One Ball following me on twitter?!?!"
Then saw a tweet that was basically "something something something #fuckoffarsenal", joined the dots and voila.
WAAAAAAAY THATS ME!
Mikey Jones and Alex
EDIT: Fuck you Jay.
I need to reset my twitter password and get involved in this.

I really should get on the twitter bandwagon at some point.
Hopefully Chris Scott comes on here soon.
Lists, people.
Can't we just pick Danny Agger for him?
There is the RFFleague account as well that was set up last year
Yeah, I need to get involved also. I was fairly obsessed with Twitter for a while when I had my iPhone (Tweetbot > *), but I haven't touched it since I switched to Android about a year ago because there wasn't a single half-decent Twitter App. Thankfully, a number of them have all pretty much arrived on the scene at the same time recently - Boid and Tweet Lanes (both of which are still in Beta mode) - and Carbon is being released this week, as well.
You must have a good idea of who you'll pick first without your list?
maybe he's on trial with Sheffield United and wants to see how that goes?
Mikey doesn't have a list... let's be serious here, he is an unemployed bum right now and the last thing unemployed people do is get organised.
This is disgraceful from MJ. He knew we were starting soon and he should have taken his list with him. As for Chris Scott...
I thought we were starting Monday 9am!
I'll be doing the usual and sending PM's out to those who have imminent picks to try and speed things along a little. I won't be PM'ing everyone, though, because a fair few of us are pretty active and don't need reminders.
I'll be around a fair bit now, so anyone who wishes to leave a small list of players, feel free to do so.
I will be excitedly checking this thread every 30 seconds or so until tomorrow night so feel free to leave a list with me too.
If it comes to my turn and I don't reply to PMs quickly, can someone contact me on Twitter as that will get sent straight to my phone
I'm here lads

Steven Fletcher (Wolves)
I was actually thinking fuck it I'll pick him cos I've left my list at home.
Can we please stop mentioning undrafted players.
I've sent a tweet to BBF so hopefully he can make his pick soon.
I'd suggest a three point penalty for Grim, but that would be a third of his points total for the season.
Also Beefy and BBF send me a message on twitter if im late picking.
Rajah Fantasy Foorball is now following me
EDIT: Thanks for the notifications Jay, SOF and Beefy, with me knowing were back playing this i will check more often.

Are you Chris LFC (or something) on there? I was going to tweet you but wasn't sure if I was about to tweet some other Chris who supports Liverpool on my followers list.Also Beefy and BBF send me a message on twitter if im late picking.

Twitter is already proving really handy this year for chasing people up about their upcoming draft picks.
Can't believe I have to wait for an hour for BBF to make his pick
Mikey has left me with a few options for him if BBF picks and he is away.
Do we have a list of twitter names for managers/teams?
If so we can be like WWE and when our teams are announced we can have it small underneath them...
BBF is here!
give me 5 lads
eBBFleet United select Kevin Davies (Bolton)
eBBFleet United
Kevin Davies (Bolton)
Carlos Tevez (Man City)
Interesting pick.
C'mon Mikey, we can rattle through a few picks here.
I cannot wait to pick Kenny Deuchar, Juan Ugarte, Simon Yeo and Paul McGrillen.
I was stuck between 3. Davies could get a shedload in the Championship though. Hopefully one of my others stays until my next pick.
Marc Richards (Chesterfield)
Robin van Persie (Arsenal)
Marc Richards (Chesterfield)
How many years has it been since you didn't have a Richards in your team?
When he turned 35, some people said that the chances of Kevin Davies ever being a first round RFF draft pick were gone.
Those people look a bit silly now.
Tony Gray (Southport)
Liam Hearn (Grimsby Town)
Tony Gray (Southport)
Night gents
20 goals plus this season.
Christopherson was online about 40 minutes ago. Don't suppose he left a list with anyone?
Nope, nothing here. Bah.
I want to choose my player now. Everyone else seems to have Messi and Ronaldo and I literally cannot wait to choose Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (Cardiff)
bah! I hoped he might slide under the radar. I was going to have him as my keeper but thought that by not discussing my keeper choice in here noone would even know he existed.Tony Gray (Southport)
Liam Hearn (Grimsby Town)
Tony Gray (Southport)
Night gents
He was going to be my no 1 pick if he had still been available surprised he took this long to go to be honest.
He was high on my list too Alex. I think St Chris is going to steal my main round 2 target.
I think he has been in my team every season, but he always gets goals, and now at chesterfield he should get more
Fair play, wasn't knocking your pick just wondered when it was you didn't have him.
That's why I was surprised you made the list comment. I said to Beefy on saturday that you would pick Richards. Chesterfield are rumoured to be giving him 4k a week and their transfer business has been pretty good.
Yep that's me mate, I've got you too.
Really? He's a part-timer in a team that seemed to have an anomaly of a season. He hasn't even got a wikipedia which made me wonder if he'd still be available in the third round. He won me quite a few points on his own last season.
Yeah made a quick list yesterday and not a lot stood out for what i thought would be available by the time it was my pick.
I have a feeling when I make my first pick I'm going to get laughed at for having made a massive oversight, as it seems there are really obvious ones that haven't been picked yet
No, Kevin Davies has gone mate
Can't wait for Davies to 'Harrold' you all
COME THE FUCK. Where is Christopherson? He is shitting in the face of art here.
Christopherson obviously missed the fact that this draft has to be wrapped up by Friday.
Why does it have to be done by Friday? And how long does each person technically have, is it 8 hours?
It doesn't need to be done by any set time, well apart from by the time the season starts. It's usually 12 hours per pick.
I am stunned at the signing of Kevin Davies early in Round 1. Stunned.
It doesn't, he was being facetious and it is normally 12 hours each.
Why? He's going to score a hatful with his big fat forehead. BBF Guarantee.
I'm taking my kit along in the hope I might get a go in the Olympics.
Probably because he's 35, has never been a goalscorer and often didn't even get in the team last season.
I have faith in you though, BBF.
Kevin Davies is an odd choice it must be said. I fancy Ngog and Sordell to outscore him.
This is like Grant Holt from last year all over again. Except it won't turn out remotely as well.
MMH won't like you saying it, but it's what we were all thinking.
We'll see, I think he'll do really well in the Championship and lead the line for Bolton.
As you've already said though, the draft is often a poor litmus test for a squad especially in the early couple of rounds. Its a punt but I think it will come off.
Why won't MMH want me to say it? How many fucking rules are there in this game?! Jesus
Its just an unwritten rule that you don't really name players that haven't been picked yet.
It's not really a rule but it must be fairly obvious why we don't want to be discussing undrafted players in public. We want as many 'Kevin Davies picks' as possible, we don't want to direct these people to decent picks.
Ha this, although yeah Simon basically said exactly what I was thinking too.
Bloody hell Christopherson. Bloody hell.
Im here lads just waiting on bloody Christopherson
To be fair to BBF of the two mentioned that we think outscore Davies one of them couldn't manage to do so last season and the other barely got a game after signing in fact until i was doing some research i forgot he was even at Bolton. Despite all this i still Davies is a poor pick as i can't see him or Bolton doing too much next season.
