Nice one, need to do better this year.

 

I'm looking for a good start this year, **** starts have cost me finishing near the top for the last 2 years

 

Can't vote on app! I'm in the big boys league

 

Doesn't look like I can pick a team yet?

 

Im going to actually try this time ok... i swear.

 

Says it opens today. Might not be until later I guess.

 

There's also a new game on there draft pick by looks of it. No budget but one pick at a time until get your squad. Looks interesting.

 

well since i have sorted out my paypal account i'm in for the grown up league.
obviously instead of first i will be in the relegation zone in the forthcoming season.

 

Anyone tried it yet? In work so can't see if it's ready to go.

 

Been counting down the days for this...sadly.

It's literally the mans version of christmas

 

So is it ready to go?

 

Nope, the ****ing slackers

 

Gutted. I was going to do it on the train.

 

You'll get attested for **** like that!

PS... to they even allow sheep on trains?

 

It's Wales of course sheep are allowed on the train.

 

Ah, it was a train of sheep!

 

Only if you pay extra to upgrade to baaaasiness class

 

The draft system rumour looks silly. They are suggesting that you have to bid for some of the Star players and there will be a limited amount of them. Fine if you're on the early doors and get your bid in but it means that the people who have all day to **** around have an advantage over the rest.

 

the draft version is a separate game & they suggest using leagues of 8
Q: Sounds exciting but, just to clarify, there are now two games for FPL fans?

The Scout: Yes, there are now two games to play.

1) The original Fantasy Premier League game with a £100m budget, which will launch in the week commencing 10 July.
2) The new FPL Draft game that will launch in the week commencing 17 July.

You can enter squads in both games, and they are both free to play.

Q: What size league works best?

The Scout: With each squad in a league unique, we have found that up to eight teams is the optimum size for a private league.

Public leagues will all consist of eight teams.

Q: Is there a squad budget?

The Scout: Player prices are not featured in FPL Draft.

A squad is selected through the draft process, with the order of picks deciding selection.

Q: How does the draft work?

The Scout: Before the draft process begins, a random order is generated which will "snake" from round to round of picks until all squads in a league are completed.

In a “snake draft” the pick order is reversed each round, for example:

Round 1: Team A, Team B, Team C, Team D.
Round 2: Team D, Team C, Team B, Team A.

Q: Do I gain an advantage by picking first?

The Scout: No, not at all. You might get your top-priority player in the first round but, when you come to pick again, as the last manager in round 2, you may find your other main targets have been selected.

In this way, the draft ensures all managers have the opportunity to choose competitive and balanced squads.

Q: When will the draft take place?

The Scout: The administrator of a private league can decide the date and time of the draft. This must be completed before the Gameweek 1 deadline at 6.45pm on 11 August, 2017.

In a public league, the draft will take place around 24 hours after the first team joins.
