New draft league - players wanted!
I have created a new league for anyone who wants to play against fully committed players but who don't want to play for money. My experience of a public league was that I was the only one in the draft room and felt there was no real effort made by some of the players with their watchlists. If I win that league the experience will feel devalued.
I have set the new league up for 6-10 players, drafting to take place on Wednesday 9th August at 6.30pm, the league is named FISO fun and the Code to join this league is 373360-91441. Please join me.

If your after more players then i'll be in. I know what you mean about feeling like your the only one in the draft, my experience was very similar.

From my skim reading of these threads 8 is a good number?

Re: New draft league - players wanted!
I think it depends on how clued up people are on premier league players. I have played in another game with 12 players drafting 15 players each, and it is still possible to get a decent squad with a few decent players left unowned. So that made me think that 10 would be just fine for reasonably serious players who are on FISO. Sorry, I know 6.30pm isn't the greatest time for some, but had to set it then to fit in with my own schedule.

Re: New draft league - players wanted!
Don't know, but it is extremely simple and intuitive. The most important thing to do is make your watchlist, and try to prioritise it roughly by hovering over the box to change the priority numbers (you don't need to be exact order if you are present in the draft room at the draft time). For the 8 team leagues I entered I put about 85 players on my watchlist and it was ample, for a 10 player I might try to do 100, and changing the priorities takes about 10-15 minutes or so. Once the draft starts the site shows you who is picking and how many picks before your turn at the top of the screen. If you stay on your watchlist during the draft players that are picked are automatically removed, so when it gets to your turn you are looking at only the available players you are interested in. At this point you make your choice and click on the 'Draft' button. That is about it. If you run out of players on your watchlist you can go to the 'all players' tab to see which players are left, and can filter and sort by many of the usual FPL methods. I set the draft pick time for 60 seconds, which doesn't seem a lot but in practice I found I was normally only taking 15-20 seconds to decide.
I did one of the practice drafts but in hindsight it really wasn't necessary.

Re: New draft league - players wanted!
Strange, others have used the same code and the league is not full. Did you copy and paste the code or type it? The full stop is not part of the code.

Re: New draft league - players wanted!
No idea then. If it were me i'd log out and log in again, then have another go. The site did have a meltdown on Sunday so it is not immune to temporary bugs. Good luck.

Re: New draft league - players wanted!
The league now has a full quota of 10. Your best options are to join a public league or open your own new league and try to get interest on here.

Re: New draft league - players wanted!
Looks like the league is not working. Anyone have any idea if it will update at all?
Anyway I can not see other peoples scores in the league without my abacus and removing a sock.
My GW total was 45 including Holebas's 4 from the bench. No shows from Pied and Pedro in the starting 11. Coutinho and Kos still red flagged and on the bench. Too many United players in my squad but no plans to let any go yet.
I guess I will find out if Coutinho is going to leave soon but he stays on the bench for the time being.
45 from ten was nearly as good as my 60 from eleven FPL team. Scored more in Eliteserien this week.

Re: New draft league - players wanted!
they were all hyped with the launch they forgot they also have to manage it season long and make it work
see also in the Regulars Draft league
let's give them this WEEK to set it straight.
As Taca posted elsewhere, for the basic infrastructure, they just had to copy what's working for their own classic fantasy... and they failed right at that indeed
