Fantasy Premier League Draft

Hi guys.

We all remember the glory days of XTPL, as well as the difficulty in running and maintaining it. It was a lot of fun.

Now the EPL website is doing a "fantasy draft" league, where a player can only play for one side. That was part of the fun of XTPL, "owning" a player and having that exclusivity. I did a draft yesterday in a league with 6 friends and it was a really enjoyable experience. I don't really like the fantasy football version, with budgets etc and everybody sharing players. I lose interest very quickly, but this seems way more interesting.

So I'm happy to administer a league for us here. You need to register on the website and what happens then is when the league is full (it can be between 2 and 16 teams), then we pick a date for the draft. The draft happens live, with the pick order "snaking" so for example of the 6 last night my first pick was 6th, then I went first the following round, then 6th, 1st, etc.

As its live once organised we'll need to select a draft date. If you cannot attend you can construct a watch list and the draw will allocate them to you based on targets and availability.

Is anybody interested? I can do this as a sign up.

So far we have:

TGO
Toni
Bill
Josedin
El Blanco
Nitemare

I'm in if it's still happening. Sounds intriguing.

Can someone give me a code for the league? I promise to be a good owner, active to the end. I live in the States, but don't hold that against me. :) While I have enjoyed the traditional fantasy league setup at premierleague.com, a draft style league is what I've been looking for for years. I have been following the game, especially the EPL, for the past 10 years or so. The EPL is perfect, because I can watch the games here in the States at 7a and 10a EDT, before the wife starts giving commands. :) If the draft is still 21:00 GMT, that works out great for me, because that's 5p here, right when I get off work. Let me know if you have room for me. If not, I understand. Thanks. Take care.

I wasnt getting confirmation mail for past 2 days, but finally got through.


My team name is Anansi Boys, courtesy of Neil Gaiman :pp



I may be a at cinema (or just getting out) when draft starts, so in case I dont make it, how do you make a draft list in advance?



Edit: never mind, I just saw the watched section is for making list of players you want to draft.
