Rules This will be a straight forward snake draft. We'll be drafting 15 player squads, no more than 3 from any club. They must come in at no more than 100m in total value on the official game. Teams will be entered into a league on the official fantasy football game. http://fantasy.premierleague.com/squad-selection/ If you haven't signed up yet then ffs sign up to the league already... League name: The Premier League Draft 2015-16 Code to join this league: 443389-112666 Player price list: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/player-list/ Once you've drafted your team the only restriction is on transfers. You can only transfer players into your squad that you've traded with another manager or drafted into your team. No duplicate players in this draft. Pick deadlines are 6 hours for the first round but are subject to change if we're going too slow as the draft needs to finish before the 8th August. Please endeavour to leave a shortlist with Guyett if you don't think you'll be around for your pick. He's not playing so I would leave as many players as you can ranked in order with him. & maybe prolifik or BB etc as well so it doesn't all fall on him to do it. We'll be having a shitload of transfer draft rounds to keep teams competitive throughout the season, especially early on. All these rounds are ordered bottom to top in order. This is a focus on keeping the league competitive for as long as possible. No new players that enter the game are eligible to be picked until the first transfer draft round. To clarify, the current players in the game are the only ones eligible to be picked in this first main draft.

I also thought there'd be a few lucky number 7's. Cal your lucky number isn't 5 anymore pal. 5th springs to mind easily for some reason, sprang to mine, so I changed from that to 6th on the basis that it'd be less popular. Sent mine to Guyett btw.

233 points last season (easily the most), also excellent in the game the year before, still improving, reigning player of the year, & not injury prone.

4-player short-list ready and waiting... No suprising picks so far. We could see a big season from Rooney if he's played centrally up-front. Not bad for £10.5m. Eden Hazard would have been my 1st pick too, he keeps on getting better and better. He's now got Lampard-esque 'must have him in my team as captain each week' status.
Sent a three man shortlist to Guyett as I'm out for a majority of today from now. Guarenteed to get one of them.
Yeah he should keep me high in the table, carried my team last season! I expect him to get even better this season. Showing good form in preseason anyway... [vine]eXbhYpWmElz[/vine] being old is not a handicap Bob, you can still live a full & active life mate.
