Its been suggested that to get us from the end of SoO through to the new year we run a "Summer League" of sorts where we get the best of the best from last season (Say Top 6 Mobb medal count) to run a draft pick their best 20 and then they fight amongst themselves for the title of the SFA summer champions.

I'd suggest if we do it we run it EPL style with no finals, just top team wins. That way we're looking at what? 5 weeks. Which once SoO ends we'll be early oct, say 2 weeks to sort the teams out... mid october.... 5 weeks puts us mid/late november...... Well maybe we could run a top 3 finals to give it a couple of extra weeks.... would put us into early December....... Then have a couple of weeks off over the Xmas/New Years break before resuming early January......

Thoughts?

Sounds good Bonce, good little filler league to get us into the New Year. ..

Obviously a lot of other rules and factors but I assume the "Mobbs Medal 6" would be the playing captain of their respective teams, so would only be drafting 19 players. ..

Would we need a list of eligible players, ie. like only listed players from S16? (With/out incl. new recruits?)

Love this idea.

The draft will be a lot of fun, I'd guess in reverse order of Mobbs finish (so sixth gets pick 1...). Feasibly the team formations could almost pick up immediately and then matches could kick off the week immediately after SOO closes.

No dice. Champion gets pick 1. But draft will reverse order each round so PVF would get 1, 12, 13, 24, 25 etc etc. (I think)

Feeding the egos of the toppers in the Mobbs Medal count ...... Sounds dangerous to me. Good concept though.

I must be the first SFA player ever to be a captain of three teams ;)

In other news, arenas all over the league have been issued with letters stating that they must make their doorways bigger for me to fit my ego through.
