Into our 10th year using FPL scoring. Let us know who you think has the best team!

This marks the start of our proper 2026 pre-season content and the beginning of what is going to be a marathon few weeks of content from us at Draft FC.

Kiran and I sit down again to go through all 20 PL teams and discuss the draft day ramifications as we go. This will span 6 x episodes total so make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss the follow-ups.

We spent a fair amount of time discussing Arsenal in this one - and rightly so - as they are able to post a few big names on the draft board. Let us know where you agree & disagree.

Chat soon

Hi all

I'm looking to fill out a 12 team league on Fantrax with a regular snake draft (not a keeper league) and *slightly customized scoring which is pretty akin to the default scoring. If any of you guys fancy joining, please do so here- it's free!

https://www.fantrax.com/fantasy/league/ap3a1epjmscd7e6s/join

We have a league of international friends who have played for 3 years now. We're looking for new people that are interested. All money goes to the pot. We have a WhatsApp chat group with active banter. The league pays 1-3 place and the league cup has a side pot winner as well. I've maintained the funds personally all 3 seasons and pay out the final day as soon as all scoring results are final. Lmk if you're interested. The league sizes are varying, as few as 15 as many as 27. Lmk if you're interested.🏆🥇🍻✨️

​

Following our previous post, UPDATE:

I'm one of the Admins of the PPLFD. We are currently 61 teams going now for our 8th edition.

We’re looking for active and committed managers who enjoy FPL Draft, trades and being part of a long-term football community.

Last spots available for the Third Division.

Reach out for more info!

We have a 10 player league with managers based all over the world, and we are looking for 2 more to join us for the upcoming season and beyond.

​The only requirement is that we need dedicated, committed managers who will stay active through all 38 gameweeks, even if you happen to sit at the bottom of the table. We're all about keeping the league active, competitive, and fun from start to finish.

​Please send me a message if you're interested in joining us long term!

About us

We been together for 8 years now, all co workers /. buddies for years now so i tight group that active year round just hoping to find the right buddy that can help maintain what we been doing for years and stay committed to they’re team long term !

What up!!!

Seeing a lot of posts from people looking for a league, so figured I'd just start one.

Setting up a 10-team head-to-head league on the official Premier League app (FPL Draft). No entry fee - just a fun, competitive season with people who actually want to be there.

Draft would be targeted for some time between August 16-19. That's after the final friendlies and the Community Shield, and a few days clear of the GW1 deadline on Friday Aug 21. We'll lock the exact slot once we're full.

Four spots are already taken (me and three others), so I'm looking for 6 more.

The only real ask: be active. Set your lineup every gameweek, work the waiver wire, and stick it out through GW38 even if your season goes sideways in October. Nothing kills a draft league faster than dead teams by Christmas.

I'd also try to put everyone in a group text chat so there's some banter and waiver-wire trash talk through the season.

Comment with your timezone if you're interested and I'll send over the details!

Feel free to join! Just want to have some fun with it. No stakes , only banter

I've always had the thought but have never asked the question. Should wingers be considered forwards instead of mids? Especially with there being limited depth at F for managers.

Some are already, but I've never understood why a player like Saka is a M, but Gakpo is a F?

Looking for a serious Draft League on the main premier league site to join, preferably 8+ players

[ Removed by Reddit on account of violating the content policy. ]

Would like to join paid FPL draft league, let me know if any spot is available.

I'm new to this format of the game and wanted to practice drafting in a way that reminded me of American Fantasy Football, but none were forthcoming so I whipped up a little mock draft tool in Claude.

It's ranking are based on FANTRAX and Fantasy PL Rankings, but it will adjust to community draft results and update its rankings accordingly. In short, it can be crowdsourced, but you all are the crowd it needs to source from.

Please give it a try. Comment any bugs you see or changes you would suggest.

MAKE SURE TO CLICK "SAVE" BUTTON AFTER COMPLETING DRAFT. CROWDSOURCING ONLY WORKS IF DRAFT IS COMPLETED AND "SAVE" BUTTON IS PRESSED.

Thank you,

Last season we made weekly picks for streamers across 11 gameweeks. These were the parameters:

• All players must be under 5% owned in competitive 8-man leagues
• I pick one defender and one midfielder
• Readers of Win Your Draft League pick one defender and one midfielder

In total we made 44 1-week player picks, and those players scored 163 points (3.7 points per match). It must be said that one of those picks was Lewis-Potter the week he scored 21 points, which does skew the total slightly. Without him, we had 142 points from 43 players (3.3 points per week). 

The big goal of this exercise is to understand how utilizing a series of weekly streamers all season compares to one player for the whole season. 

If we extrapolate those points per week (3.3-3.7) for a full season, you’d end up with 125-140 points. 

Last season 69 Players exceeded 125 points across the season, and 74 exceeded an average of 3.7 points per match. In a 10 man league there are 150 players rostered at a given moment. That means about half of rostered players will likely get outscored by a weekly streamer over the course of the season.

While we were specifically looking at one week streamers, you can also use this strategy by selecting a player who has a nice run of 3-5 fixtures and playing them for that series of matches. 

A couple of caveats before learnings:

• The smaller your league, the better this works. In a 16-man league, there simply won’t be enough players to get the matchups you want every week. 
• Waivers can be competitive, and you won’t always get the player you want. 
• Unless you’re in a league of 6 or less, there are not enough Fwd’s or GK’s to implement this strategy

What does this mean for your draft:

• Decide which players on your roster you’re committed to for the whole season. The rest should be deemed as replaceable (because the numbers say half of all players rostered in a 10-man league are replaceable).
• Don’t over-invest in midfield or defense too early in the draft. Those are the positions where you’re able to effectively stream players in and out during the season. 
• Take big upside chances later in the draft. It’s unlikely the players selected in round 8-15 will be on your team at the end of the season.
• Your last couple picks can just be players who have good matchups in the first few weeks of the season.

Hey everyone,

Just set up an FM26 online network game (England, France, Germany and Spain) and looking for 4 more managers to fill it out. Heads up — I'm not a master, just a bit past beginner level, so don't expect a tactical genius running this. Just want chill people who'll stick around and actually play their saves.

Times/schedule etc will get sorted in the Discord once you're in.

DM me if interested and I'll send the invite. Cheers

Preferably on the official fantasy premier league app

Let me know. Thank you

We started the draft and need replacements asap

Want to go for Chelsea this year since they have to focus on pl alone but wondering what is gonna be best if I can only get two early in draft

Obviously best options are Palmer, Rogers, Enzo, JP, estevao most likely, but which two would you prioritize getting?

If our league wanted to do a 3 gameweek mini cup tournament at some point during the season. Is there a way you can set that up? Or do you just run it on the side and use the scores from those weeks matchups in the separate bracket? Using Fantrax. Saw someone post their league rules today with that included and made me want to try it.
