I have a countdown timer 8-)

I'm not sure if we should shift the draft from the Thursday(25th) to the Friday(26th) as the T&C's say a draft can't take place before the 26th however it took the draft date for the 25th.

Maybe leave as the 25th and reschedule if it can not take place.

I can't do the Thursday so would much prefer the Friday.

No worries if not though - guess I can pre select my players?

Yeah piece of piss although you'll need to muck around getting 100 odd players in a reasonable order-saying that I didn't have to shift them about too much.

I'm happy with the Friday too if there's no objections?

Hi All,

Just a quick question...

As we have to pick 11 players, am I wrong in presuming that we can choose any formation? Or is it a fixed one?

Danny do you realise that only 7 players actually play in 11 man squads?

Yeah I think having a 15 man squad would not only take too long on draft night but the players after that would be pretty crap.
I’m happy to increase though if the majority want it.

Fpl 15 man drafts only take about 45 minutes to do.
Im easy either way, just the 7 each week seems a bit weekenderish.

Cheers mate,

So an 11-man squad will essentially be a weekly 'Weekender' type game. That's quite interesting and I'm glad I asked.

Danny is one of the finest administrative minds there is so I'm fully comfortable with whatever he has decided.

Thanks Simon.

I don’t mind increasing, it was decided in the other draft we’d only have 11 (7 playing) but that’s why I’ve posted the settings so they can be altered.

Is that 1 minute between picks too?

If there’s 10 of us that’s a potential of 150 losing the will to live minutes.

The FPL nerds are generally a cleverer bunch so probably smash through their picks, most of us will be tanked up trying to order a Chinese to mop up the copious amounts of alcohol.

The fpl one I did the other night was 90 seconds a pick with 9 people.
Those that take 89 seconds to decide are evened out by the quick thinkers who take 2 seconds!
Not sure which side of the fence you would sit :wink:

When I did the FPL one last season, there were 13 of us but as some of my mates were in USA at the time they just set up their watchlist and the picks got automated down their list. Each one of their picks took a minute to do, but those people that were doing it live took approximately 5-10 seconds.

I’m happy with doing 11 players, as I think it would be more convenient..... but I’m more than happy to go with the majority.

1) This a weekly head to head.
2) The draft is this Friday evening. 🤞
3) Iksh and Zimmerman still need to enter their teams into the league.
4) 11 man squad (7 playing).
5) Captains selection is on.
*6) There will be a play off between the top 2 teams at the later stages of the season to determine the overall winner.
5) 70/30% payout for 1st and second.
6) 1 minute between picks.

*I’ve changed this as it doesn’t seem right 4th place can swan off winning after having a mediocre season.

I’ve been asked to put forward the motion of increasing the squad size to 15-having 11 playing.

I need 5 to agree this.

I'm all for a 15-man squad as well.

Has anyone else had problems with the Draft page on the SDT desktop site?

The draw order will be filmed and WhatsApp’d tonight - if anyone isn’t on the group send their number to Blademan.

This is in case Dreamteam don’t randomise the order.
