Seeing other people's teams exposed before the start of the game is off-putting for me.  It also makes a nonsense of the uniques bonus.

I am also uneasy about teams being held back once the game has started because you can be strategic with your replacements by effectively scuppered people's uniques but if you cannot see all the teams it is not a level playing field

if you want you can send your team by mp and I won't post it here. You're also free to post your team in the last minutes of the pool enters. 

 

On an other note : I'll add bonus for the first hit of the pool, and malus for the last one !

Not the point. As Biblio says, it needs to be the same for everyone. 

Too late now, the cat is out of the bag.

I know. 
It’s my first time organising a pool, I rarely take part in any pool in here (only AO Deadpool) so I didn’t know about the timing. If this game works this year, next year I’ll make it start in March or something like that to please anyone 

Anyway, hope it will be fun and successful !
