    gilberto hasnt been online since lat night, i sent him a PM when he was offline.

    In the interests of speeding things up, I think we give Gilberto the highest rated player available?

    I'd let FA run during the Preseason and try and get one round done in that time and if it is very slow do a free for all after that but only 1 free agent pick up per gameweek.

    It's not crucial that it gets done prior to the season starting I don't think.

    I think the way I proposed to do it initially would be best, it would be more fair than a free for all and if people aren't about to take their picks tough luck. But it may be a bit too late at this stage.

    Edit - I still think it may be the best, do it tomorrow starting in the morning. Give people during the day an hour to do their pick and people in the evening 30 mins. Like its not the most important thing about the game. If it was solely up to me I would do the FA then advance the league right to the Week 1 straight away.

    Have CPU teams grabbed the best FA's already? Doesn't seem to be too much there at the moment

    Well they have already made their selections? They won't change? So can just skip them?

    Stick their picks in the picks thread again, get 2 people out of the way. Nothing has changed since they made their picks.

    Just thinking, if you make a pick in the thread you do need to pick that person up before the week is advanced, or can the commish add them to their roster. Heli, let me know as soon as you are joined up and I will make you commish. I don't cope well under pressure.

    People need to sign their players by the time of the advance, if the CPU picks them up there is nothing that can be done. Having said that if the league is filled with PFLers it shouldn't be an issue.

    What happens if a pick is missed, is it forefeited completely or can they pick when they get back online?

    Yeah I suppose it is only fair to let them have it when they get back online.

    Adrian, pm'd you there. Thought Paddy had until 10.42 so I said Paully could have until 11.20.

    Clements I think.

    So as this is a snake draft Caroller will get 2 consecutive picks and we go backwards through the order for round 2, correct?
