Fantasy Premiership Draft

[Rosco]

I need 19 other volunteers for this.

We'll have a fantasy draft for a Premiership XI, players that played in the league in the past season only.
It'll be a snake draft.

And we'll see who ends up with the best team. And see who values what type of player as we go through it.

Who is in? All you'll have to do is pick a few players.

 

[dmishra]

I'm in.

 

[IGotALuvlyBunchOfCoconuts]

How many players, 3?
Suarez, Van Persie, Bale.

 

[LFD]

I'll play.

 

[StevieM]

How is thus going to work?

 

[Oncy]

Yes please.

 

[Holle]

What do we have to do?

 

[Dreambeliever]

Yes please

 

[HC]

I'm in

 

[RolandG]

All in!

 

[Stulikesdrums]

I'll have a go.

 

[Rosco]

How is thus going to work?

When the names are in, I'll draw the names randomly to determine what order we pick in. Everyone picks a player in each round, each player can only be picked once. You need to pick 11 players to make up a team, you choose whatever formation you like.

It'll be a snake draft, so we go 1-20, then 20-1, 1-20, 20-1 and so on.

 

[the count]

Why not?
Stick my name in the hat please Ross.

 

[Mojo]

I'd like to try please.

 

[Holle]

Ok, I'm in.

 

[DHSC]

Ok me too.

So how do we determine who's team is best?

I'm in by the way.

 

[StevieM]

.... And is it set formations?

 

[Rosco]

I'm in by the way.

We could have a poll.

Whatever formation you like too

 

[the count]

You could use that Fantasy football points total to determine the strongest team at the end of the season perhaps?
@Rosco
@StevieM

 

[Rosco]

Or I could decide and anyone that disagrees with me is stupid

 

[Fabio]

I'll try

 

[StevieM]

So, what if we pick players now and they move abroad before the season starts - and what about players coming in?

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Ill have a go if this is not full?

 

[Rosco]

Lets just do it and see how things turn out.

If you want to do a fantasy football league based on this format we could do it again in August

 

[Oncy]

I like it Ross.
I played this game once on here (I think with you) on a quiet afternoon and it was fun.

 

[Squiggles]

I'm in

 

[Rosco]

I think it'll be a bit of craic. You'll get a good sense of what the league has a lot or a little of fairly quickly. We might struggle for decent CM's for example.

An we'll get to laugh at some dodgy selections

 

[SummerOnions]

I'm in if theres space

 

[Rosco]

By my calculations we have 18 already.

Two more please!
