I was thinking it was 8 but I couldn't remember. Yeah, any more than 10 would just get silly. That's already 140 players. 

 

Sorry, 150. 

We had 10, then FowlersGod vanished, so his place was given to Moglet. I just can't remember if Moglet joined or not...

Sorry lads but I'm going to have to sit this one out. Few things have come up and I won't be free Wednesday or Thursday night now.

No worries.

 

Need 1 more if anyone is interested?

[The Golden Eel]

If there's an odd number it just adds average as a player anyway

[Guest Alex_K]

I need to sign up but definitely in. Thurs evening is good for me 

[The Golden Eel]

Good man No 2 - that's four signed up. Hurry up the rest of you, it's less than 48 hours before it starts.

@Pidge

 

You mentioned a draft in another thread - do you want to join this one?

[Allan]

If you haven't already done so, please try and join the draft league in advance of this evening's draft.

We'll be starting at 21:00.

[Bjornebye]

I’ll be ready for 9 but have no idea how the fuck this works. 

[Guest Alex_K]

I've joined up - that makes 5 teams at the moment. Worth tagging whoever else needs to sign up? Not sure who is in and who isnt

Exactly the same as the drafts we do on here. Snake draft, player 1-10, then player 10-1, etc...The FPL site will randomize the pick order.

 

All potential selections are assigned a draft ranking by the FPL site. Mo Salah is ranked number 1 pick, and so on and so forth.

 

There is a 90 second limit per pick - If you fail to pick within the time limit, then the highest ranked player available is automatically picked for you. You must have 2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders & 3 forwards, just as it is in the main game. (You are also limited to 3 players per club).

 

The only other differences are that there is no financial budget to worry about, and you don't have the double points captain dilemma.

[The Golden Eel]

So we've got 6 confirmed as of now - 5 who are in and Stig, is that right? Who are the others who said they were interested? Virj, John and Elite?

Are you sure about this? I'm fairly sure it was unlimited when I did a public one last year.

You're right. I've just read through the rules and there's no sign of limits to players per club.

 

Strange though, as all the mock drafts I've done had the limit.

[Bjornebye]

Good job I checked, thought I had joined but I was in a 'mock league'. Ive joined now.

@Lee909

 

Just replying to that other post here. If there's an odd number, the game will enter "AVERAGE" as an opponent every week, so it's not a huge deal if it comes to it. 

 

Can we get confirmation from @Elite and @John102 as to whether they're going to join? Reason being that I think @Dynamite would need to lower the minimum number on the draft from 8 as, if not, presumably the game won't allow it to even go ahead otherwise?

[John102]

Im in. How does it work. What is the limit to spending? 100 million?

There is no limit. It's a draft - same type of format as we do in the usual drafts. But it obviously moves much, much quicker. You can always try a mock draft if you want to see it in operation. If so, go to the "New League" tab, and then "Join a Mock Draft". 

[Allan]

Almost time. I'm in the draft room now, ready to go.

[Allan]

@Bjornebye @viRdjil @Alex_K - Draft time...

[Bjornebye]

What the fuck is the draft room?!
