Yes, FPL is back for the 18/19 season. Very little has changed from last season. The only tweak to this season’s leagues comes in the Cups package with the addition of an FPL Cup last longer. I’ve also lumped the Draft League option within the main thread for anyone interested in that.
CLOSING DATE FOR ENTRIES IS 1 PM BST FRIDAY 10TH AUGUST unless otherwise stated.
Entry is open to Blonde members only (over three months and over 30 posts) unless otherwise stated.
Classic Leagues:1. Free LeagueOpen to all Blonde members. There will be a £20 prize for the winner and £10 for 2nd place. These prizes are strictly for players that haven't won a prize in the pay leagues.
2. £10 ClassicOpen to all Blonde members, except those who’ve entered the £100 league.
3. £25 ClassicOpen to all Blonde members, except those who’ve entered the £100 league.
4. £50 Classic. Open to all Blonde members of over three months and over 30 posts.
Open to all: 5. £20 H2HOpen to all comers. The H2H format lends to more variance so outside 'sharks' aren't particularly favoured.
6. £35 Cups package - entry deadline is 31st AugustOpen to all comers. Again the cups have a lot of variance. There will be a Champions League (£15), an FA Cup (£10), a League Cup (£5) and an FPL Cup Last Longer (£5). Whoever goes furthest in the official FPL Cup will scoop this.
7. £20 Last Man Standing - if fewer than 38 entries then the entry closing point will be TBD but no later than 31st AugustOpen to all comers. As it says. The lowest scoring player in the league is eliminated every week until you have the last man standing. This paid the top four last season.
8. £100 Classic (open to all)Open to all comers.
9. £20 H2H Draft League (8-team leagues max) How does draft differ from normal 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
Draft day TBD once leagues are finalised but suggest the evening of Tuesday/Wednesday 7th-8th August.

Q. I'm new to Blonde Poker, how do I know my money is safe?A. Prize money totalled £5,700 last season and 100% of it was paid out. Last season I split the prize money in three and sent 33% each to two trusted blondes to hold.
