Closing date: 8pm Friday 4th August
Draft times: Classic 4pm, Sunday 6th August
H2H 5.30pm, Sunday 6th August.
An exciting new addition to the FPL landscape, as they’ve added a Draft game and hopefully we’ll get enough entries to get one or more leagues running. All leagues will be restricted to Blonde only, but if we’re struggling for numbers I will open it up to all comers.
DRAFT DAY WILL BE SUNDAY 6TH AUGUST! DRAFTS WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE AFTERNOON/EVENING, EXACT TIMING TO BE CONFIRMED UPON LEAGUES FILLING. NOTE THAT A DRAFT WILL LAST APPROX 30-45 MINUTES YOU WON’T NEED TO GIVE UP YOUR ENTIRE DAY FOR IT.Leagues:1) £20 Classic (Max 8 players, pay top two, £100, £60)
A £20 classic league, with a maximum of eight players. If we get more than eight but, for example, less than 16, then we’ll evenly split the numbers into two leagues.
2) £20 H2H (Max 8 players, pay top two £100, £60)
As above, but this time played in the H2H format, with a maximum of eight players. If we get more than eight but, for example, less than 16, then we’ll evenly split the numbers into two leagues.
PRACTICE DRAFTS: I will attempt to run practice drafts before Sunday 6th August so everyone who has entered can get used to how it works.
FAQ:WHAT THE HELL IS FPL DRAFT?
https://www.premierleague.com/news/427772HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM REGULAR FPL?
1) Only one manager in each league may own any given player. E.g. only one manager has Harry Kane
2) There are no captains or vice-captains in Draft FPL
3) There is no squad budget
4) There is no limit to how many players you can own from each team
5) There are no limits or costs to weekly transfers
More info here:
https://draft.premierleague.com/helpI CAN’T MAKE THE DATE OF THE DRAFT CAN I STILL PLAY? Yes, you can set up a watchlist of players and your squad will be selected that way. I’m not going to lie though, you will be at a disadvantage if you can’t make the draft. But leagues are won or lost based on transfers made throughout the season, in my opinion.
OK I’M INTERESTED, ANY GOOD LINKS TO ARTICLES ABOUT DRAFT?

Payment: In order of preference:
1) Bank – when sending please include your Blonde Name (FPL) as the ref: e.g. Tikay (FPL)
2) Paypal – make sure you use the send to friend/family option otherwise I will not receive the full amount and you will not be entered into the league.
3) Stars – send in £ (Pounds) only please.
If you're interested, send myself and/or Mark_Porter a pm with what leagues you want to play and, once payment is received, one of us will send you the codes.
A couple of notes if you’ve never played a Draft league before:
a) if you’re the type to give up after a few weeks this league is not for you because…
b) draft is a lot more hands on than classic FPL. If you log on every Friday and spend 10 minutes on this, you will be dead money.
I’m not going to run any free leagues, but if you like the sound of this but don’t want to play for money then please feel free to start a new thread and find participants that way.
