    Looks interesting

    Few of us tried a draft league never really worked out it'll help that's its on the official site though.

    Would have preferred them bringing back ultimate instead!

    Shall we use to start interest for a league?

    One thing I dont get about the draft is, if im the only one that has say aguero, he hits a dip in form, can I transfer him out and then does it become open season on him for other people to get him in or can only one other person get him and if so how do people know when I get rid of him???

    I presume you get a squad of 15-20 and then everyone else is a free agent, so Aguero gets injured out for the season you drop him and pick up Nacho

    The leagues max out at 16 so ya we can take this as an expression of interest

    Interesting thing this year it's the first year in a while where the first pick hasn't been super obvious.

    He would be my pick but I don't think he'd be everyone's like Aguero & RVP would have been for the few years.

    Start a second one, 16 is the most allowed so that one is full. We'll call that one the Premier league and move on to Division One now with you leading the way.

    Folks, would it be better to have a max of 10 players in each draft? The pool of options available to a 16-person draft is a lot more limited.

    Even then its going to be really weighted towards the first 5 picks who get the real captain choices. Not sure how well this is going to work really. Would probably be better if there were no captains.

    We'll have to wait and see if FPL implement that so.
