There's actually a proper FPL Draft game this season, running alongside the normal game. Launches W/C 17th July. Might make admin a bit easier @Ollie
I like the lack of a budget but you can only have 16 in it which isn't ideal (still, there were less in last season's). Main issue is, not sure how long people would have to make their picks as it could be like 5 minutes or something & everyone might have to be around at one time. We'll have to look into it though, cheers.
I just saw it on the app. EDIT: FPL Draft Game Revealed | Fantasy Football Tips, News and Views from Fantasy Football Scout
I would bet, and this comes from my fantasy american football experience, we could do the draft here, and then create the league and import our picks.
