[Beefy]

Ok I'll probably won't be picking until I get to work. About 90 minutes.

[son_of_foley]

Sort your life out

[UK Blue]

Apparently the Rajah site will be down at 4am for 10-12 hours, not sure if that means the forums as well.

[son_of_foley]

Do we have enough numbers to do a whatsapp draft?

[Beefy]

James Collins (Luton Town)

[Badger]

I'll be around another hour before I leave for work if MMH can make his pick by then. If not, then BBF still has three of my picks.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal)
Mark McGuigan (Stenhousemuir)

GO FUCK YOURSELF

[BBF]

Ok so last year I created this subreddit just in case, as the forums were all over the shop at the time.

With that in mind here is the link just in case the forums go down at any point:

https://www.reddit.com/r/RajahFantasyFootball/new/

This is a back up thread in case the forums go down during the draft. I'll try and accommodate as much as possible if they are down but if anyone wants to send a list to me i can post on the subreddit with your picks. My email is bigbeefan{at}gmail.com

https://www.reddit.com/r/RajahFantas...for_the_draft/

This is a back up thread in case they remain own over the weekend. Pleast post your teams for week 1 in here if the forums are down:

[Reech]

Shit, I have my quarterly review at work soon this morning. I'll get thinking.

[Gary J]

Russell McLean (Peterhead)

1) Romelu Lukaku (Man United)
2) Jamie Vardy (Leicester)
3) Christian Doidge (Forest Green)
4) Tom Eaves (Gillingham)
5) Hillal Soudani (Nottingham Forest)
6) Russell McLean (Peterhead)

[BBF]

Reech picks

Olivier Giroud (Chelsea)
Matt McClure (Aldershot)

[Gary J]

Sam Smith (Oxford)

1) Romelu Lukaku (Man United)
2) Jamie Vardy (Leicester)
3) Christian Doidge (Forest Green)
4) Tom Eaves (Gillingham)
5) Hillal Soudani (Nottingham Forest)
6) Russell McLean (Peterhead)
7) Sam Smith (Oxford)

[BBF]

I'll put all this info in the first post of the other thread too so you don't have to go searching for it.

The spreadsheet is now up to date (bar a couple of formula issues that Reech will sort ie the table, a couple of team names out of place).

You can find the fixtures here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...gid=1798115240

We will be starting this weekend (3rd/4th August) and playing every week except international weekends (when the RFF cup will be played). This gives us 37 fixtures. the first 30 are 'normal' with home and away games and then the league will split into top 8 and bottom 8 where everyone will play their remaining 7 fixtures against the others in their half of the league.

The master player list is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...gid=1558725743 and is being updated constantly. If you could add your player onto the list after any transfers that would be amazing but I'll try and pick them up as they happen and keep the list updated as best as possible.

I can't see us finishing the draft before midday tomorrow so there won't be a supplemental draft this year but as soon as Reech picks number 128 the transfer and trade window opens for everyone.

Best of luck!

[BBF]

Badger picks Scott Sinclair (Celtic)

@MMH back to you

[Beefy]

Don't split randomly, split by what half of the league you're in. That's the whole point.

[BBF]

Its only a fixture split not a league split.

[MMH]

Aaron WIlliams (Harrogate Town)

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal)
Mark McGuigan (Stenhousemuir)
Kristian Dennis (Notts County)
Jay Rodriguez (West Bromwich Albion)
Lewis Vaughan (Raith Rovers)
Ricky Miller (Port Vale)
Aaron WIlliams (Harrogate Town)

[MikeHunt]

Would a league split not be more fun?

[Beefy]

But the point is it means that the teams at the top all have to play eachother at the end of the year meaning that there's more 'six pointers'. This is the SPL model yeah? That's how they do it and why they do it.

[son_of_foley]

DRAFT YOU MANIAC

[Beefy]

Alexis Sanchez (Manchester United)

[BBF]

It makes things a lot more difficult in terms of actually doing things though. ie we split the league into 2 like the SPL. Then the 8th placed team ends up with 54 points and the 7th placed teams ends up with 48. That's far too complicated for anyone to sort on the table tab on the sheet for example as I'm sure @Reech will confirm

Then there also feels like there should be a reward for finishing top of the bottom half which is silly. I dunno it just opens too any cans of worms and I'd rather keep things simple for this season at lease.

Unless you mean just a fixture split into the two, in which case I'm pretty open to whatever in terms of a fixture split. This just seemed like the most fair way.

We definitely can finish the draft by midday tomorrow. Everyone leave bloody lists, most players now are shit anyway.

It really isn't complicated and no there shouldn't be a reward for finishing top of the also rans

[BBF]

No i mean actually altering the spreadsheet would be hell.

[son_of_foley]

No i mean actually altering the spreadsheet would be hell.

would expect it to be another sheet with 2 tables potentially

[BBF]

would expect it to be another sheet with 2 tables potentially

aye thats seems the easiest. Just a bit of a ball ache. Lets see what @Reech says. I'll leave it up to him. If he's happy with it then we'll do a full split.

[son_of_foley]

If he doesn't want to do it. I can do it. Won't need done for 30 weeks like
You have a regular season table and then 2 split tables IMO

[MikeHunt]

Is it my pick?

[BBF]

It is yeah

Alright let's do that then. Full split after 30 games. I'll edit the post

[Reech]

Can do it that way. Having the same table but pulling in data from Weeks 31 to 37 is easier but yes, you may end up where 8th is above 7th. Either way is work, choose the way that sounds better and I'll do it.

Think @rosk has a list for Hurley and he has my next pick too

[The Rosk]

Unfortunately Hurley's list he left me with has run out. He said to get @Beefy to Whatsapp him when it was his go.

[Beefy]

I'll text him now.

Just colour code the teams in the two halfs of the table in week 30. Then it's easy to see who is where even if a team in the top half has fewer points than a team in the bottom half.

[Reech]

Yeah, I'm not worried in the slightest, we'll figure it out later.

In the opening set of fixtures, are we counting the FA Community Shield between Chelsea and Man City?

Yes it's a competitive game.

[Badger]

Yes it's a competitive game.

Ta.

[Reech]

Seriously?

It's a friendly.

#BeebsOut

[The Rosk]

We didn’t count it in previous years. Not that I have an opinion on it at all.

[BBF]

Did we not? I thought we did, hence that answer.

[Badger]

Competitive friendly?

[UK Blue]

van Nistelrooy once scored for me in the Spanish version.

[Beefy]

We've definitely counted the Spanish one in the past. Don't think we've ever played in a week where the English one was on though

[BBF]

I'm counting it. FUCK IT

[The Rosk]

Yeah I remember when I drafted Rooney and he wasn’t eligible when playing in the charity shield and I kicked off. Great days lads.

Another punt

Tammy Abraham (Chelsea)

Hopefully coming to a Frank Lampard side near you this month

[The Rosk]

My punt choice was split until the last second between him and Doyle. Thought Doyle was more likely to move. Abraham will probably score more if he does move though.

I think he may end up at Palace or something. Gayle will stay potentially and I'll be in the market for 2 more but worth a chance as either should be filling their boots in the championship
