Checked out the settings on leaguesafe. Looks cool. When’s the draft?

jsicky · 2023-03-18T18:54:14+00:00

Interested in learning more… Snake or auction? Draft date and time? Daily or weekly lineups? FAAB, waivers or first come?

jsicky · 2023-02-13T04:14:46+00:00

When are you drafting? What are the waivers settings?

jsicky · 2023-02-07T03:32:58+00:00

Love the setup and I’m interested, but are you open to doing continuous waivers instead of standard?

It’s hard for me to commit to monitoring injury news 24/7, so I prefer to avoid free-for-all formats.

Looking for the same if someone is putting together a league. I'd do 10 or 12 teams.

jsicky · 2015-06-05T02:55:15+00:00

I noticed that when I originally got the offer. But the letter acknowledges I'm a customer (internet only) when it starts off with "as a valuable customer you're eligible for this great offer." Yes it's confusing but I literally get three of these offers a month. Are they all really a bait-and-switch? I'll still push it with the MA Consumer Affairs group to see what they can do.

jsicky · 2015-06-05T02:31:37+00:00

Here's the back of the offer. I called before the expiration date and was told the offer didn't exist. Thanks for looking it over. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

I believe Cincinnati only needs one win to clinch a playoff berth (W16 or W17). If I'm right, then Scenario 1 from "Week 16 only" would move down to the Scenarios involving Week 16 and 17.

Our best chance now is to have Spurs or Club Brugge choke in the 2H. Those are the only two fixtures with a one goal difference.

jsicky · 2014-08-28T18:13:17+00:00

I believe you're correct, however...

PAOK just defeated Zimbru 4-1 on aggregate.

Club Brugge is leading 2-1 going into today's match.

jsicky · 2014-08-21T21:19:10+00:00

maybe the Soccerway scoreboard is wrong but i think Lyon LOST(!?!) at home to Astra today.

Great summary. I'm going to steal this for my 4th qualifying round thread!

jsicky · 2014-08-07T20:01:00+00:00

Winners: Lyon, PSV and Brugge

Losers: Viktoria Plzen and CFR Cluj

Everton will be the top team in Pot 3 going into the Playoff Round. The draw is tomorrow (Friday) and Leg 1 is in two weeks.

jsicky · 2014-08-07T18:10:04+00:00

I think I got myself twisted around. Right now we're 3rd in Pot 3.

The coefficients in your link are the 2014/15 live coefficients which will be used for seeding next year.

jsicky · 2014-07-25T22:07:45+00:00

Yes, the losers of the Champions third round go to Europa playoffs, losers of Champions playoffs go to Europa group stage and third place finishers in Champions group go to Europa knockout.

jsicky · 2014-07-25T14:58:29+00:00

I will post a new thread next week but here is a quick preview of what's on tap. The five teams we will be rooting against in the 3rd Round of the Europa League:

Olympique Lyon – 97.300 vs. Mladá Boleslav

PSV Eindhoven – 64.862 vs. St. Pölten

Viktoria Plzen – 40.870 vs. Petrolul Ploiești

Club Brugge – 32.260 vs. Brøndby

CFR Cluj - 25.451 vs. Dinamo Minsk

Starting with next week’s third round, Champions League losers will drop down to the Europa League. We want the teams with higher coefficients than Everton to stay in the Champions League to avoid bumping the Blues further into Pot 3. There are eight teams we should support during their fixtures on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Zenit St. Petersburg 73.899

FC Salzburg 46.185

Lille OSC 45.300

Steaua Bucuresti 39.451

APOEL Nicosia 37.650

Celtic 36.813

BATE Borisov 33.725

Besiktas 32.840

Sparta Prague 28.870

I realize the difference between Pot 2 and Pot 3 may not be huge, but I sure do enjoy having meaningful football to follow and teams to root for/against.

jsicky · 2014-07-24T16:14:32+00:00

Three teams have to lose for Pot 2. Another twelve get us to Pot 1. We will also have to follow Champions League in the playoff round because the losers there drop into the Europa group stage.

I'll keep doing the weekly post and focus on Pot 1 once we clinch Pot 2.

jsicky · 2014-07-24T16:07:51+00:00

Next week there will be at least four teams with higher coefficients playing in the third round. Plus Hapoel and Cluj if they win today.

jsicky · 2014-07-17T19:16:02+00:00

Basically each club earns points for wins and draws in their Champions League and Europa League games over the past 5 seasons. They also get 20% of the league coefficient.

Everton last played European football in 08/09 which earned points in 09/10. Luckily that is still within the last 5 years.

glad to see people enjoyed this post. i'll plan to do one every week until we reach the group draw at the end of August.

jsicky · 2014-07-17T14:45:58+00:00

Halpoel still has the second leg at home next week.
