https://draft.premierleague.com - NEW COMPETITION

Hi everyone,

I've just created another new competition for us to play, to alleviate the boredom further !
(As far as i'm aware, there is not a Bbs Draft Fpl Head-Head already in process?
Although even if there is, then this will be different as scoring will only start from Saturday 6th February)

You have been invited to play in the Bbs Draft Fpl - February > EOS FPL Draft league. Join the game here: https://draft.premierleague.com

Once you have logged in or registered click on 'Start' and then 'Join a league'. You can then enter the league code awukzx to join the league.

if people don't mind, then can you post your Bbs name as your team name, so we know who we are playing against, making it more personal?

Unfortunately this website game only allows a maximum of 16 players, so first come first served........

I've set it as a head-head scoring system, which then makes a league

Its the same player scoring system as the normal Fantasy Premier League

Although there are a number of differences :-

No budget limit, players don't cost anything.

No limit on the number of players from any one team.

You will draft a squad of 15 players in the following positions:

• 2 Goalkeepers
• 5 Defenders
• 5 Midfielders
• 3 Forwards

Each Premier League player can only be in one manager's squad in your league.

Pre Draft
Before the draft takes place you are able to create a priority watchlist of players. This list can help quickly identify potential picks during the draft and will also be used to automatically draft a player if you aren't available to participate.

The picking process is done on a snake draft process :-
The draft will automatically start at the designated time if the minimum number of teams has been met. A random order will be generated which will "snake" from round to round during the 15 rounds of the draft. In a snake draft the pick order is reversed each round, for example

• Round 1: Team A, Team B, Team C, Team D
• Round 2: Team D, Team C, Team B, Team A
• Round 3: Team A, Team B, Team C, Team D
• Round 4: Team D, Team C, Team B, Team A
• etc...

Ive set the draft for Friday 5th February 7pm, to give us all time to choose our 'watchlist'.

If you cant physically be online at Friday 5th February 7pm, or if you fail to pick a player within the time limit (30 seconds) then the following criteria will be used to make an automatic pick:

1. Select the highest priority player from your watchlist who is both available and in a position you still require.
2. Select the highest ranked available player in the draft list in a position you still require.

If an automatic pick is made then you will be marked as being offline and picks will be automatically made in subsequent rounds. You can mark yourself online again in the draft room to resume manual drafting.
If you fail to pick a player within the time limit then the following criteria will be used to make an automatic pick:

Once the draft has completed you will be able to manage your squad on the My Team page.

Choosing your starting 11
From your 15 player squad, select 11 players by the Gameweek deadline to form your team.

All your points for the Gameweek will be scored by these 11 players, however if one or more doesn't play they may be automatically substituted.

Your team can play in any formation providing that 1 goalkeeper, at least 3 defenders and at least 1 forward are selected at all times.

Selecting a Captain
There are no captains in fantasy draft.

Prioritising Your Bench For Automatic Substitutions
Your substitutes provide cover for unforeseen events like injuries and postponements by automatically replacing starting players who don"t play in a Gameweek.

For the purpose of automatic substitutions playing in a Gameweek means playing at least 1 minute or receiving a yellow / red card.

Based on the priorities you assign, automatic substitutions are processed at the end of the Gameweek as follows:

• If your Goalkeeper doesn't play in the Gameweek, he will be substituted by your replacement Goalkeeper, if he played in the Gameweek.
• If any of your outfield players don't play in the Gameweek, they will be substituted by the highest priority outfield substitute who played in the Gameweek and doesn't break the formation rules (eg. If your starting team has 3 defenders, a defender can only be replaced by another defender).

I've set the league so that its a closed transfer market, after the draft.

I think thats everything covered?

Good luck!

anything i can help with?
although the website does give a fuller explanation of everything, on the 'help' tab

 

I'll have another read, thank you.

 

we have six entrants so far, ten places left........

I'm in

 

I'm in too.

 

Me too, looks a bit complcated for an old git like me but I'll give it a go.

 

In short, it's fantasy football, however everyone has different players.

At a specified time, you'll get 30 seconds to pick a player, and then it moves onto the next player. When everyone has picked one player, you all pick again, but in reverse order. This continues until you have 15 players.

If like me, you're likely to forget to pick players, you can add some to a wishlist. If you miss your turn to pick, the top player on your wish list is selected. I've added 300 players to mine, just in case I forget to do the draft altogether haha.

The game then just works like standard fantasy football, but you're playing against other members of the BBS. I think.

 

That's exactly my understanding as well archey.

I've registered btw

 

yep, thats the general take of it.
I actually copied and pasted the rules on page 1 and also there is a more complex explanation for those who want it, on the website

 

13 entrants now, only 3 spaces left..............

can those already entered change their team name to their bbs name please? makes it more interesting and personal to the bbs then

 

still 3 spaces left......................

 

Trying to join bit for some reason it doesn't recognise the code

 

Just checked now and code is fine, i was able to join with a different team

 

....and now i see you've joined! perhaps i should have waited a bit before replying?!!

 

Yep I'm in
