I think 90 seconds is fine as long as there's a little alert that pops up or makes a sound when it's your time to pick.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Who is team Taromz by the way?
Who is team Taromz by the way?
No clue, and as no one has posted in here I assume it's probably just someone who saw the password yesterday... boot them!
Might be an idea to change the password if possible?
Here's a question - what happens if/when clubs by new players midweek - is it just first come first serve on those? Or is it some turn based system again? There's probably going to be loads more high quality players coming in, so someone could end up with a really good squad if it's just first come first serve - rendering this draft bit pointless.
I think we will use a bid process, everyone will have 100 dollars and everyone can see where the bid price is.
Grand... So long as it's just a first come first serve free-for-all that should be fine.
Did you find out who Taromz was?
Did you find out who Taromz was?
No I haven't, I'll boot him if someone else on the caf expresses an interest before he tells me who he is!
What happens if the player you choose gets transferred?
Taromz is the friend of mine who evra said I could invite. He's a Liverpool supporter and is possibly in the newbies here, I'm not sure.
If it's to a club within the Prem then nothing changes; he continues to amass points. If he gets transferred to Real Madrid (for example) then you're fecked cos he's out of the game. Who is going to take that risk on Bale?
Ah no problem, thought it was a random. He's more than welcome.
Okay see my "message from the commissioner" in the game for the rules. One thing I am undecided on is I could lock the player pool, so that say Utd signed Ronaldo it wouldn't impact the game because you couldn't bid on him. At present I think we would have 12 people bidding £1000! What do people think?
Draft order has now been finalised, go into the "draft room" to see how you've done.
This seems very suspect by arjwiz what's stopping his newbie friend from trading him all his good players.
If 50pc of teams veto a trade it will be voided, besides that I'm sure we're all gentlemen here.
Plus I can veto anything, the power at my fingertips is quite scary/arousing. Now I know how Maggie felt.
Not a terrible idea... might be the best way to do it actually.
Integrity!
I think it's only fair that I get the 1st pick. I'm not really sure how I can justify this but whatever. Me 1st.
Well... RedSky's getting RVP then 
Well... RedSky's getting RVP then
I'd be tempted by Cech if I had the 1st round pick.
What do we think, should I lock it? Part of the excitement might be bidding for new players but it does have the potential to upset the apple cart.
Who is Arsenal's No1 going to be by the way?
Lock it to begin with.
Done
Why? Do keepers get loads of points?
1st pick! GET IN!
Does someone want to run this scoring system by me? I don't think I get it.
My "commissioner's message" on the homepage should explain everything.
Who are you picking? I hear very good things about Darren Bent.
Google rotisserie scoring as well, I'm sure it's explained better on the web than I've attempted.
As have I!!!
Apart from what the others already said (50% rule and commissioner rule), I invited him yesterday when there were just about 3 or 4 people in the group and we were trying to fill the 12. Had we known that we'd reach the 12, or had evra asked me not to invite him, I wouldn't have asked him to join.
I'll join this.

Good show Evra. That didn't take long at all.
Quoted for posterity, hopefully tomorrow goes off without a hitch and then I can relax and enjoy the thing.
T'was fun
Pleased with your team?
I am, actually. Maybe I'm not well-versed with the rotisserie scoring system so I don't really know the value of good players from mid-table teams, but I think I've got a good squad. There's a few risks in there (Nasri, Nani, Dzeko) but if they fire it should turn out good.
Szczesny
Enrique
Evra
Mertesacker
Nani
Oscar
Hazard
Nasri
Aspas
Dzeko
Podolski
Distin
Riise
Duff
Puncheon
Schneiderlin
Long
Boruc
Like the look of that, I'm hoping Negredo pushes out Dzeko eventually! Your defence is going to score very well.
