I ran a Euro 2016 Draft Fantasy League and there was some interest about running one for the Premier League season so here it is. If you've never played a draft game before then in Draft Fantasy Football, any one Premier League player can only be owned by a single team in your league at any one time and initial teams are selected via a snake draft.

Details are below, just so everyone is aware this won't be 100% a Blonde exclusive league as I'm giving the option to anyone who played the Euro 2016 league to enter this, which is only fair IMO and only amounts to two people both of whom are connected to poker, be it as players or workers.

With that out the way here are the necessary details:

Draft date: Thursday, 11th August, 8.30pm (online)
Website: https://draftfantasyfootball.co.uk/
How to play: https://draftfantasyfootball.co.uk/howToPlay
Entry fee: £20
Entry deadline: 12pm, Thursday 11th August
League cap: 16 (4 players confirmed so far)

Scoring: Scoring is exactly the same as the FPL game with two exceptions. A) there are no captains...B) there are no bonus points

The league cap is enforced by the website and, quite frankly, 16 is stretching it anyway in terms of having enough players to go round. If we exceed 16 players then we'll have to split into two leagues.

If interested please PM me for bank details/league codes and any questions fire away.

I did one of these with my mates for the Euros, it's great fun, especially the actual draft and it's not as high maintenance as FPL.

In please.

Did the Euro one and it was great fun and a nice low maintenance addition to the standard FPL stuff.

16 seems too many with a 15 team squads means there would be 240 players in squad but only 220 players start each week so when we are drafting we will all be drafting players likely to be bench warming

12-14 team leagues 180-210 players in a squad gives us all a chance to pick players likely to start so when starts get injured we have players that wont be sat on the bench

It's a fair point. Somewhere around 10 is the ideal size from my experience. Let's wait and see how many sign up and then we'll be able to judge the best course of action.

It's not so much that, but with ~10 active managers it means there are plenty of free agents and jostling for players rather than managers just keeping their initial squad throughout. Makes it more enjoyable.
