Draft Pick Premier League

I am seeking 16 ish bees to compete in a fantasy football league this season.

Premier league only sorry.

We'll choose players end of July.
Perhaps a £5 entry with half to the winner, half to charity.
All players will only be picked once, so your squad of 16 will be unique to you.

I'll therefore need a list of your top 40 players before the draft date.

Who's in ?

After finishing very near the bottom of the GPG Fantasy Football thingy, last season, I have put myself on gardening leave.

Sorry Smiffy, I'm not in. :(

No budget.
Just submit a long wish list and hope for the best.
I'll have more details later but transfers are open all season (1 per week max)
Scoring along the lines of most league's based on goals, assists and mean defences.

Potentially, although it's very ageist of you to say you want Bees of 16-ish. Us older Bees still have plenty to offer you know

So ago decides if your requests are successful? Wouldn't it be better to day you have a budget of £100m and you attach a value to all your players. Highest wins.

Why 16 players

Are transfers basically for all the rubbish players remaining?

Quality, points scoring players emerge all the time.
For example Lane, Ospina, Ulloa, Mane, etc that would not have been thought of early in the season.

This format works and is simpler once you get going.

In a few weeks I will post links to last year's game.
 

Draft Pick Premier League

If everyone selects Rooney for example, who gets him? Am i missing something?

only one person can own each player, what I am not getting form Smiffy is how that decision is made.

ie if you and I both say we want rooney how is it decided that you or Iget him?

This is also what I was wondering...
 

Draft Pick Premier League

We already play NFL Fantasy football and in that draft position is decided by a random generator. I'd expect it would be the same here. Are we going to use fapremierleague.com as an interface ? And are transfers between players allowed ? We probably need a comprehensive Q and A on this if its going to work.

We will have a draw to decide who has first pick.
If there are 10 in the league, 10th picker will also be 11th picker, 9th picker will be 12th etc...

Again bringing the NFL fantasy league - GPG league that Paul Ridley brilliantly organises we choose an evening to thrash it all out. Might be trickier with this, perhaps some sort of mass Skype on-line chat or something.

Dont reckon Smiffy has throught this through! A budget would avoid a lot of the hassle
 

Draft Pick Premier League

ITs a tradition though he always creates an odd litlle competition each year. WE had the JD sports prediction league last year, the year before it was the weird one where yo had 8 teams who all had an assigned value, now this oddity!

Smiffy rocks!

Draft Pick Premier League

Some Fresh Instructions then

Entry is free.

1) Please send me a list of 60 premier league players in order of preference for the draft pick.
E-mail to [email protected]

Your final squad of 16 players must include at least 1 gk, 3 def, 3 mid, 2 forwards.

1st player on your list is your number 1 pick etc

Give your team a name - Teams will be drawn out of a hat and given a number 1 to 12 (for a 12 team league)

1st team out of hat gets their 1st draft choice. 2nd team will get their first draft choice, unless 1st team already has that player, in which case they will get their 2nd choice.
In second round of draft, Team 12 gets 1st draft choice (if player still available), team 11 gets the next choice etc.
The draft pick goes on until all teams have their 16 squad players

Their will be free agents on the draftepl.com website.
http://draftepl.com/

Transfers are free before the start of the season.
During the season, teams are allowed 1 transfer per week.

Draw date will be Saturday 1st August. I will get this witnessed and be hopefully providing on line commentary
Squad Lists must be with me by midnight on Friday 31st July

Any questions on this thread please !
 

Draft Pick Premier League

How do you know what position someone is

Teams will be drawn out of a hat and given a number 1 to 12 (for a 12 team league)
I will update people as the draw happens - you will be informed
 

Draft Pick Premier League

When you say transfer, do you mean picking up free agents or can you trade with other teams?

The top of your list will be allocated first

If you end up with 14 midfielders, 1 striker and 1 defender and 0 goalie, you will have to enter the market after the 2nd August to wheel and deal
Unlimited transfers before the season to allow teams to sort themselves out

If everyone picks 60 players, the chances are most will have a squad of 13/ 14 by the end of the draft process
Once the draft is closed, it's time to go seeking those unpicked players from the draft epl website to complete your squad of 16

See this is where 'money' can play a part in that when dealing with other managers, you can say I'll give you x amount of money and y player for z player.

Mr Wibs

On this website

http://draftepl.com/

There is a "EPL" Player list, defining all players in their positions
 

Draft Pick Premier League

I keep reading this thread as "Daft ***** Premier League"
 

Draft Pick Premier League

Right Smiffy Ive entered and emailed you my list of 60 players for your latest pecularity
 

Draft Pick Premier League

Anyone else got any questions?
 

Draft Pick Premier League

Some basic rules of the game you'll need to know

The Team Roster

A team roster consists of 11 starting players and 5 bench players. The starting team consists of one, and only one, Goalkeeper, three Defenders, three Midfielders, two Forwards, and any two other field players.

Free Agents and Trading

You can trade a player on your roster for any player not currently owned by another team in your league. This is wide open before the season starts and during the opening and January transfer windows, and then becomes limited to one trade a week for the rest of the season. Movement between your starting 11 and your bench is unlimited.

The Game Week

A Game Week is any week in which one or more matches are played. It starts Saturday morning and ends Friday night. Therefore, a team with a Saturday afternoon match and then a Tuesday evening match will provide their players with 2 opportunities to score points. Both matches count and are added together.

Scoring

Currently, scoring is the same as pretty much every other fantasy EPL site. Players earn (or lose) points based on the following actions:


Points

Action

1 For playing up to 60 minutes
2 For playing 60 minutes or more
6 For each goal scored by a goalkeeper or defender
5 For each goal scored by a midfielder
4 For each goal scored by a forward
3 For each goal assist
4 For a clean sheet by a goalkeeper or defender
1 For a clean sheet by a midfielder
1 For every 3 shot saves by a goalkeeper
5 For each penalty save
-2 For each penalty miss
1-3 Bonus points for the best players in a match
-1 For every 2 goals conceded by a goalkeeper or defender
-1 For each yellow card
-3 For each red card
-2 For each own goal

The key thing is to send me a list of 60 Premier League Players by the end of next Friday

From the list of players on the draft epl website

http://draftepl.com/
