One more in the draft league would be 8.

A good number 👍

 

[guyofthetiger]

How do we know which position we are on the draft?

Or is that only shown once it starts?

@guyofthetiger

(From the Help section🙂

The order will be randomly assigned when the draft starts. A ‘snake’ draft is used to take it in turns to pick players. It means that whoever goes last in the first pick will get to pick first on the second turn.

@tiger_one

Haha thanks Tiger 1 I probably should have tried the help section

 

[guyofthetiger]

Everyone happy with their draft picks?

 

[tiger_one]

@guyofthetiger

WOW!
That went quick.

I like that the way it's one choice ata time, the top players get pretty well spread out over all the teams in the comp.

So happy?
Yes, enough for the games to start and then we see who measures up and who we might need to transfer etc.

 

[guyofthetiger]

Is it possible to see each other’s teams?

 

[guyofthetiger]

It did go quick huh.

Got more hectic as it went after the obvious choices were gone...

 

[tiger_one]

@guyofthetiger

Not until after Game week 1

 

[swag_tiger]

Lloris is on the trading block if anyone is interested

 

[Harvey]

Players I had marked disappeared in a hurry and when it got to my pick a struggled. Think I might be the easy beat team this year.

@Harvey

hey champion - it's a funny game EPL, with players not always available with Europa Cup and Champions league to come over the top of normal EPL, then there's the form of players which comes and goes - so just keep up to date with the teams your players are with to so how they go, then check form the "Transactions" window which players are available to maybe swap with an under-performing player.

Easy enough, eh!
Just stick with it, it's a long comp so the fun goes for a long time!

 

[Harvey]

I will. With an 8 team fantasy league, there will be plenty of players to trade in.

 

[happy_tiger]

My goal keepers aren't great , but side is pretty good , lot of good talent available

Put 3 keepers in my side first 10 picks .....

Schmeichel my best .....and with Harry M leaving for Man U they might be leakier than WHU
