TFF 4FD / FPL King of the Drafts Combo League 19/20

[thebillfella]

All

Further to this season's sister TFF Four Full Draft (4FD) League (viewtopic.php?f=136&t=130823), this is a new thread for the FPL Draft League. For info last years thread is here: viewtopic.php?f=378&t=128835

Priority will be given to the same TFF draft members (see below) but with reserve spaces for those that wish to participate in this FPL draft but not the TFF one up to a maximum of 12 entrants (Striker for example who has expressed an interest to enter this alone plus currently a maximum of one more if all TFF 4FD participants play this as well).

The current members of the TFF 4FD which take priority in this league (max 12 participants) are as follows:

thebillfella
workie-ticket
Spencer4
sibrown4
Geoffv
morganb
robot
nathan247
nffc
theo29
Striker (FPL 4FD only)

I have set up the first FPL League and posted the code below. Please do not forward codes to other players or enter the league if you have not declared an interest first in this thread and been accepted to join as the names above take priority given their inclusion in the TFF 4FD.

For my spreadsheets to work I need to know your team names in each league so once you join PLEASE POST YOUR TEAM NAMES (for TFF as well as FPL) ON THIS THREAD.

Rules
(1) Preferably, you will enter a team into both competitions and then join the respective leagues set up by me (on TFF 4FD and here). I will need a post on this thread from each member that contains their team names.
(2) The game rules and scoring set up by TFF and FPL will apply to your respective teams throughout the season.
(3) The rules / scoring adjustments will be similar to the main game TFF/FPL Combo League but obviously using the "draft" formats of the game (four number FPL drafts to coincide with the TFF 4FD dates that I will confirm to follow), i.e. in a similar ilk to the TFF 4FD we will have a total of four FPL Drafts over the season (so please ensure you have at least 4 FPL draft spaces left - I think you are allowed a maximum of 10 different draft leagues in total?).
(4) We will take the scores up to our designated new draft dates (to be confirmed mirroring the TFF 4FD dates) and then start a new FPL draft league each time; adding together each draft quarter score up to that changeover point. I will then monitor and periodically post a TFF 4FD / FPL Draft Combo League summary similar to the main game TFF/FPL Combo League here but in draft format (http://www.fiso.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.p ... 0&t=128169) over the course of the season so we can try to establish who the King of the Draft Leagues in both formats is.

Entry Deadline:
See first draft date below (Wed 11 Sep 2019 21:30). The further 3 draft dates are to be confirmed but likely for the official roughly around the same time as the TFF 4FD (typically during the international breaks and just after New Year?)

Any entries after the confirmed deadlines will not be entered into the competition and removed from the league.

[theo29]

tbf I am a non starter in FPL draft. I expect to have a reply from Ian this morning re name change in Euro Super League. Regards theo

[thebillfella]

Ok, no worries. Really only important if you want to take on the combo league for all draft addicts out there!

[Striker]

Entered with Team Name - Relegated Laughing 1

The intention for the later drafts is that the team names will be Relegated Laughing 2, 3 & 4.

[sibrown4]

Im in. BrownyPoint on Draft

[robot]

Ill be in, hasnt spencer said previously hes not in?

[thebillfella]

Yes I think so. But you never know

[Striker]

billfella - how many managers do you think that we are going to have if no one else comes out of the woodwork. Best guess and maximum? I ask so that when I prepare a watch list tomorrow, it's about the right length.

[thebillfella]

Other than theo and spencer I was expecting everyone in the list above tbh!

[Geoffv]

So 7 involved in the end - looks like we lost nathan247 and workie-ticket

Draft details here for the record:

Reasonably happy with my bunch. Striker's team looks strong.

I guess we are going to do an FPL draft soon to run in parallel with the TFF one?

[Striker]

I'd suggest around Nov 26th - Nov 28th for our FPL draft so that our season is as evenly divided as possible given that we miss the first four rounds of the season. Our four quarters will then have 9-9-8-8 fixtures. This is what we've done in the past. The alternative of 8-8-9-9 would mean that the second draft would have to be in a very very short window of opportunity in late December when some people may well be unavailable.

[thebillfella]

Sounds sensible - will pencil something in for say 9pm on Tuesday 26th Nov unless another date / time suits better?

[Striker]

OK for me.

[morganb]

Sounds good - thanks

[thebillfella]

If you'd have joined the league when you received the code you would have got an automated team at least! That's what Geoffv and sibrown4 did!!!

Spreadsheet with workings here:

[Striker]

Seems a bit odd to show tables that include players who arent actually playing those games. Surely it would be better to include seven players in the FPL league (dropping to six in the next quarter) nine in TFF and six in the combined league. It would only take one more step towards an Alice in Wonderland situation to include some guy in all three tables who isn't playing in either comp.

[thebillfella]

Just how I set up the spreadsheet when I had more time - haven't had the time to modify since. It would be easier for me if you lot stopped effin' about and just entered both comps rather than being selective or forgetting the draft dates!!!

[Striker]

Flippin' 'eck - you've got unrealistic expectations!

[thebillfella]

It's that time again!
