Fantasy Premier League Draft

Eyes not spreadsheets
Inspired by dcye's post in the football thread.

Rules are up for changing if people want to to but I'm thinking basically a draft based on all players on the fantasy premier league site - each player can draft up to a squad of 18 made up of 2 keepers, 6 defenders, 6 midfielders and 4 forwards and pick an 11 each week playing a keeper 3-5 defenders, 3-5 midfielders and at least 1 forward.

To allow for multiple players, there will be up to 3 of each player allowed (so there are 3 Aguero's for example) - this depends on number of sign-ups.

You pick an 11 each week and only they score points, as per the fantasy league points with no captains or anything like that. If a player doesn't play then it's tough.

During the transfer window, every player can choose to release up to 2 players per game week and draft in new people.

Needs to keep moving quickly if we're going to try to get it started by next week (very unlikely so we will just start when everyone has their teams named) so if people want in please say so.

I'll be in.

Agree in principal but if we have too many sign ups then there literally won't be enough players who start every week otherwise.

In btw.

Had a look and it's a bit too involved setting it up for my simple brain.

Will do it based on the website points and get people to submit teams in here.

Got 6 so far, would like more but if not we can stick with lower numbers. Will get draft orders etc. sorted later today.

I just had a look at Fantrax, created and set up a league within 9 minutes. Happy to run the league if people want to play on a site. We can run a live snake draft on a day of your choosing or an offline one if we can't organise a time where everyone will be there, I can change the scoring system around if need be but the default one looks pretty good, seems to value all positions pretty well. Doing it this way allows people to quickly do add/drops when players become injured or are sold, allows people to make trades etc. I've been playing fantasy baseball, basketball and NFL for years and have always wanted to do a PL league like this. It's not as complicated as it seems and allows us to do stuff like having keeper players between seasons etc.

If people aren't keen then so be it, but it'd be fun.
