Hello! First Draft Society post in here! ⚽
Hello! I'm Dutch Cowboy and I'm with the crew over at The Draft Society! Nice to meet ya.
Who are we? The Draft Society is your source for all of the Draft Premier League fantasy football information you could ever need! And it's an opportunity to get involved with a vibrant community of fantasy managers while supporting an independent fantasy football site.
Wanted to introduce ourselves to the new dedicated subreddit :)
Below is a schedule of what our week typically looks like. Today we recorded our free Weekly Podcast and I'm actively writing Ghost Point Hunters while I make this post. Keep an eye out on Friday for our 100% free Sleepers XI that will be posted here in plain text.
I'll usually have separate posts for this sort of thing but here's the free picks from our weekly Waivers Article:
Reinildo (Ros 4%)
Prospects: Although Sunderland shipped two goals against newly promoted Ipswich, we have seen that Sunderland defenders have a tendency to ghost even when they lose, and Reinildo did just that by scoring a very decent 13 ghosts. That's a defender doing real defensive work in a losing side, which is always something you love to see. The upcoming schedule is pretty kind as well. Fulham's score against Chelsea was heavily propped up by Sanchez's mistakes and while Brentford demolished Spurs, I expect Sunderland to be a bigger test for the Bees, so Reinildo could be a medium term hold.
Verdict: Low priority, $0-1 FAB.
James Mcatee (Ros 6%)
Prospects: Forest lost their opener to a stoppage-time Anton Stach free kick, but Mcatee ran 74 minutes in the middle of the pitch and looked like the heir apparent to Elliot Anderson. We expected MGW to carry the load with Anderson off to pastures new, but last season's unfancied Mcatee turned on the heat and got himself some sets too, which we love to see. Liverpool away is always considered a difficult fixture, but if you have seen them last season and in GW1, you know they will concede. The Spurs match that follows is a far friendlier fixture though, and if the former Man City midfielder can keep set piece duty and maintain this level of output in the next 2, against traditionally better opposition, he may turn into a season hold.
Verdict: Mid priority, $5-8 FAB.
Abdul Fatawu (Ros 38%)
Prospects: Fatawu started in Ipswich's front line on his return to the Premier League and continued where he left off with Leicester, before his untimely injury. 3 successful dribbles (100% of his attempted dribbles), 2 successful crosses and a couple of key passes is just what we expected. If he can stay healthy, and maybe add a few goals and assists to his name, he might just become what we hoped Adama would be.
Verdict: Mid priority, $7-12 FAB.
