the draft version is a separate game & they suggest using leagues of 8
Q: Sounds exciting but, just to clarify, there are now two games for FPL fans?

The Scout: Yes, there are now two games to play.

1) The original Fantasy Premier League game with a £100m budget, which will launch in the week commencing 10 July.
2) The new FPL Draft game that will launch in the week commencing 17 July.

You can enter squads in both games, and they are both free to play.

Q: What size league works best?

The Scout: With each squad in a league unique, we have found that up to eight teams is the optimum size for a private league.

Public leagues will all consist of eight teams.

Q: Is there a squad budget?

The Scout: Player prices are not featured in FPL Draft.

A squad is selected through the draft process, with the order of picks deciding selection.

Q: How does the draft work?

The Scout: Before the draft process begins, a random order is generated which will "snake" from round to round of picks until all squads in a league are completed.

In a “snake draft” the pick order is reversed each round, for example:

Round 1: Team A, Team B, Team C, Team D.
Round 2: Team D, Team C, Team B, Team A.

Q: Do I gain an advantage by picking first?

The Scout: No, not at all. You might get your top-priority player in the first round but, when you come to pick again, as the last manager in round 2, you may find your other main targets have been selected.

In this way, the draft ensures all managers have the opportunity to choose competitive and balanced squads.

Q: When will the draft take place?

The Scout: The administrator of a private league can decide the date and time of the draft. This must be completed before the Gameweek 1 deadline at 6.45pm on 11 August, 2017.

In a public league, the draft will take place around 24 hours after the first team joins.

Yeah I thought this looked quite good. As you say makes it interesting that can't all pick the same beat players. Just curious how it'll work if someone doesn't go in and pick a player, means the people behind can't either or will it auto pick a player for you if you take too long etc.

Might set one one of them up if anyone is interested just for fun.

I should have loads of free time and wouldn't mind having a go. Not something i'm well up for though as i think normal FF is enough.

It's a shame they got rid of the ultimate league thing you paid for. Thought that was alright

Q: What if I cannot make the draft?

The Scout: Before the draft, each manager can create a Watchlist of players, listed in priority order, representing their top targets for each position.

If you are absent for the duration or for any part of the draft, the Watchlist is used to automatically make selections on your behalf.

If no Watchlist is selected, draft ranks are used to prioritise automatic selections.

Each player in the game is given a draft rank based on their total FPL points last season and/or their potential for points in 2017/18.

The draft system rumour looks silly. They are suggesting that you have to bid for some of the Star players and there will be a limited amount of them. Fine if you're on the early doors and get your bid in but it means that the people who have all day to **** around have an advantage over the rest.
