2022/2023 €50 H2H draft league

Taking names now for this winner takes all draft league.

CSF will be collecting the funds

draft day and time to be arranged

The rules for ties are as follows - 

In the event of a tie, whoever has the most overall weekly H2H wins is declared the winner. If that is also a tie then their actual H2H’s, against each other, are counted. If it is still tied then the combined scores in those weekly H2H’s will determine the winner.

This is the purest form of FPL so if you haven’t played before I suggest you give it a whirl.

1 - Klopparama

draft setup for 7pm on Monday.

I think, iirc, that was a day that suited most. If I’ve made a mistake I can change it.

maximum of 10 league entrants and 60 seconds between picks.

Thanks Klopparana for setting this up. Count me in.

@CSF

@CSF how do you want to receive payment ?

I’ll pay with PayPal. What additional info do you want in the ‘comments’ box ? - just my username ? Or a reference to ‘draft’ ?

CSF

PayPal is good and username is fine. It’s the only thing I’m collecting 50 euro for so there’ll be no confusion with it

CSF

Have PMed the other 3 lads that were in last year to see if they're happy to rejoin. League up is setup and ready for people to join (myself and klopparama paid up and in already), so lets get moving towards Monday.

patmac

Go on so.

CSF

Exxxxxcellent

Xander10

Go on, I'll round it up to 8 players.

CSF

Love it, you guys should all have my details so send the cash on in advance of Monday’s draft please

Chesty08

Any spaces left? Missed this thread

CSF

My memory is we can go as far as 10?

Yeah.

We said we would go to 10 this year.

OwlsZat

If people would like to try the draft league but aren't sure on the 50 buy in.

I also run a 20 euro winner takes it all draft league.

It's in it's third year. Payment through Revolut and winnings paid on season end.

If anyone is interested in joining we have 5 spots left. Send a PM.

Thanks!

CSF

Don’t forget to get the cash sent on today lads ahead of tomorrow.

Trimm Trabb

Is there any chance we could move the draft time to 7.30pm tomorrow?

CSF

Fine with me if it’s fine for the rest

Sands81

Yeah 7:30 is fine with me.

Sound. I’ll change it now

edit - Done !

Trimm Trabb

Thanks lads

CSF

25 hours to go. 9 have said they wanted to join up but still 4 of them to sign up.

What do we do ?

proceed with 4 or postpone for 1 week to allow the others to a chance to see/remember this ?

CSF

7 signed up and Chesty has PMed me to get details so that will be 8. I will reach out to Xander10 now to see if he is still good to be the 9th, but we should go ahead with 8 regardless IMO.

I'm still ok to sign up as the 8th player before 7 pm. Because we went to 9, I was happy to drop out and make way and left it for now.

Is the number signed still just 5? Happy to help play if it can bump to 8 players. Less interested on a league of Six.

Probably need confirmation soon that all are onboard for this evening.

CSF

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119415267#Comment_119415267

Theres 7, you will be 8, and Chesty is still onboard to be 9. Nobody needs to drop out.

Would be great to get to 10 because ‘average’ kept beating me last season.

Scorpion Sting

Yeah if we had an even number that would be ideal.

I'm interested in playing and keeping an eye on the league, the conversations and drafting strategies etc.

I'm hesitant to drop €50 on a league format I've not played much (Only ever did a few of these leagues and there were too many zombie teams)

I think Draft Fantasy has the potential to be the best version of all types to play fantasy premier league football but it still needs to be tweaked.

This is just my opinion and perspective from playing it

- The point total doesn't work as well. Needs to be head to head matches to work.

- No waiver wires for the first few weeks (Transfer deadline day) transfers between teams are okay.

- Most games end up as Win/Loss, the game needs to go to a playoff style for the last 4 Gamweeeks to accommodate 1st round -> Quarters -> Semi -> Final with deciders played between losing teams on each of the weeks to decide 3rd/4th/5th etc!

- More variation in league types. A Draft auction salary cap league would be great fun. 200m, pick a draft day and every player go to a bid.

Anyway best of luck with your drafts, if you can share links so any of those interested can see how it went, who picked who at what round etc and a view of each person's team that'd be great! 👍

patmac

Still only 7 signed up with 3 hours to go.

I’ve just changed my team name to my boards name.

This has worked well in the past so we know who to slag.

So if you guys are willing to change your team names to your boards name ?

Scorpion Sting

Changed mine there Klopp.

Xander10 is definitely joining up, not sure about Chesty. We will have 8 though.

CSF

8 signed up

Dearg81

I just remembered this was on tonight with 30 mins to spare! I'd imagine I'd have ended up with Ronaldo and a bunch of injured players on auto pick.

CSF

All the better to get that infamous deadline day signing we keep hearing about

patmac

How long does this normally take? Is it 8*15 2 hours.

Scorpion Sting

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119416282#Comment_119416282

I reckon it’ll take about 1 hour 20 minutes ish.

CSF

Don't forget to actually enter the draft room lads

It will take longer if there are any no shows.

CSF

A quick scan over teams has me purring over Klopparama’s team

Trimm Trabb

Agree - just did the scan and picked Kloppo’s as the one I’m most envious of.

patmac

Took just under an hour.

Team is Ramsdale,

TAA, White, Dier,

Zaha, Saka, Rashford, Maddison, JWP

Wilson, Martial

Subs: Henderson,Mitro, Coady, Justin,

Yeah. Happy with my team. Only player picked just ahead of my next pick was VVD.

Still can’t find where to see the other teams. (Like every year)

In the draft room. Theres a drop down menu where you can click from your team to the other teams.
