I'll join Samie's draft if you need an extra body.

I think that experiment failed to be honest. Knock-outs are fine as long as we don't lose momentum and get them up straight after a draft is finished.

I'm on board with that, wanted a knockout for the last one, my team was awesome!

Samie's draft. Whenever he's ready i suppose. I could maybe do the draft order and start the selection thread, if Samie doesn't mind of course, or if he's not around much tonight

Right who's going to actually organise this shit?  it's one thing to suggest it and then sit on your arse.
We were having a casual conversation but per usual you bound in like a springer spaniel after a tennis ball when it comes to these yokes. You're always keen to get these things going but find someone else to do them. Now, you're doing a fucking draft for once kid

Maybe this is already done on here, if so can someone please point me towards it.

If not...

Would people be up for doing a Premier League Fantasy Football Draft? 

From the official site:

https://fantasy.premierleague.com/

So we draft our teams on here.  But then we have no transfers all season and it is done on who drafted the best / predicted who'd do the best.

Any thoughts / ideas - how it could work, welcome?!

We exhausted them all. That's what happens when you start one draft before you even finish the last one  :D

I'll probably run a World Cup draft in the summer though. Maybe make it a sheep draft.

I've started on a list of criteria for each of the rounds, so we can team up when the time comes  :)  Pretty sure drafting will feel pretty fresh again if we wait a whole year!

It was actually for the Euros last year, but that draft never materialised. I think the criteria will be pretty similar anyway.

I'll create a league.

Everyone signs up.

Then we all decide a time when to do the draft (before the 1st match, so Friday night) and we select the players we want.

The points are the same as they do on the normal fantasy football.
