FPL Draft Game

 

Ideally we need 8 to get a decent game out of this, though we can stretch to 10 if interest is high enough.

 

Who fancies it?

I take it we're doing head to head rather than classic scoring?

No worries. I've just set that date & time as a placeholder. It's also the last slot available before the player lock kicks in for gameweek 1.

 

Between all entrants, we need to come up with a suitable date/time for the draft. I'm good most days during the evening, but am happy to work around everyone else.

[Bjornebye]

9pm on a weekday night would probably suit most? Or a sunday ? 

[Guest Alex_K]

im flexible - will go with whatever works for others

[The Golden Eel]

I can do pretty much any night too. In fact, Friday tea time and weekend afternoons (particularly Sunday afternoon) are probably the only time I can't do it. 

[Bjornebye]

Yeah lets all build our lives around Dim. 

 

Oh and while you are at it, join my fucking fantasy league

Do it on Thursday 8th in the evening. Makes no sense to do it before the window shuts

I agree it makes sense to do it as close to the season starting as possible but players who sign on the Thursday before the deadline won't be added to the game that day anyway, I wouldn't imagine.

 

Can we maybe tie down a date and time?

[Allan]

Wednesday or Thursday evening after 19:30 is good for me.

 

Thursday would probably be better in terms of allowing for potential transfers, but as Dim pointed out, unless the players are already in the game, then those late incomings are not likely to be added to the game until Friday at the earliest.

 

It'll be a case of fingers on the trigger on the Friday to bring in any players that are not available for selection during the draft itself.
