tomsky_11 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Site launched yesterday so we should probably set up the leagues and start to arrange draft dates. Assuming everyone who played last season is in, after promotion/relegation the leagues for this season will be as below: VT League 1 @Demitri_C @Rds1983 @skarroki* @lp_villa830* @HanoiVillan @chappy @Eak94* @LancsVillan VT League 2 @tomsky_11 @Hornso @rhyscartwright_avfc* @avfcDJ* @kurtsimonw* @Dante_Lockhart* @maqroll* @Fowlersrs* @villaluke @AndyM3000 Players marked * are still to confirm for next season I think, so could you please say if you are in for this season. Also need a volunteer to set up the VT1 league as I’m no longer in it! @villaluke do you want to set up VT2 again or shall I? Lastly, everyone happy to continue with head to head League or think we should change to classic? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Head to head for me. Otherwise it benefits those who can draft first to too large an extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2H is fine by me but not sure I agree drafting first is that big an advantage as you then have to wait 16 odd rounds before picking again. Think I prefer being 4/5th as it balances out, you can still get a top, top player but also pick frequently and might just grab another star.

Glad I’m in a league with Hornso as he’s awful and deserves a beating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what i can do is create a excel page with winners runners up and relegations/promotions? Might be good to look up in 5 years time!

I think I went last last season, and there was very little left in terms of the 100-150 pointers. In head to head, you can get around that by building a better *team*, even if you don't have a Sterling/De Bruyne/Salah type. In regular play, if you don't get any of those players, there's very little way to catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 The only issue with the drafting system is how the trades work. If someone gets signed at the end of Sept, which is possible now, who gets them? First come first serve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's fair, however it does give you chance to pick two in quick succession which helps with team building and getting the 7th and 8th best is potentially as good as the 1st and 16th is you choose well. 42 minutes ago, AndyM3000 said: The only issue with the drafting system is how the trades work.

It's whoever is lowest in the league who has bid for them, kinda like American drafts, the worst picks first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably best to wait for everyone to confirm if in this season before arranging draft dates. Think the following are yet to confirm: VT League 1 @skarroki @lp_villa830 VT League 2 @rhyscartwright_avfc@kurtsimonw @maqroll @Fowlersrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
