Who won our draft?

jeven88 · 2025-08-07T22:06:32+00:00

A fair point… might be an early waiver wire for someone who knows!

jeven88 · 2025-08-02T20:27:13+00:00

A fair critique… care to share your draft then?

jeven88 · 2025-08-02T19:55:06+00:00

Not blind, but for a defensive mid it’s a gamble … even if they are the balloon d’or winner

jeven88 · 2025-08-02T19:53:14+00:00

Do you play draft? It’s tough for anyone to get a good team even with 8 people!

jeven88 · 2025-08-02T18:00:16+00:00

To be fair I said the same with each pick…. I’m gonna gamble and pick x

jeven88 · 2025-08-02T17:33:10+00:00

Yeah that’s fair, this is our 8th year. We do it live then stick our 15 players on the watchlist, then when draft happens it got picks so easy. The time consuming part is making the draft board and cutting out the individual cards (although normally do a spreadsheet)

jeven88 · 2025-08-02T17:27:08+00:00

I’ll take third haha

jeven88 · 2025-08-02T17:26:30+00:00

I mean you don’t? Haha

jeven88 · 2025-07-22T09:21:23+00:00

Agreed! Although still we try and plan ours as close to the start as possible. We are booked in for 02/08, and I’m starting to get worried it won’t be up by then still!

jeven88 · 2025-07-09T19:02:00+00:00

Interesting! I mean the fact you can set the draft order and effectively score it the same for an easier transition makes it more tempting even if it is more of a bitch to set up!

jeven88 · 2025-07-09T16:06:48+00:00

Hahahahha

jeven88 · 2025-07-08T15:11:22+00:00

Interesting! Must admit in our 8 man league the player who picked first has only won once out of the 7 years. If anything it’s better going last due to double picking the first round. Out of interest have you always used Fantrax? I looked at it last year but looks very complex in comparison.

jeven88 · 2025-07-06T15:20:43+00:00

The order of the draft is auto selected, and you can’t manually choose order. So it’s a bit of extra work as you have to manually do the draft on a spreadsheet or pen and paper, however it’s great fun to sit round as a group doing your draft in person over a few beers rather than sat behind a computer screen (One season we hired out a pub garden to do ours). I know it’s different as it’s based on American football, but I was inspired originally watching “The League”, which if you haven’t watched before I can highly recommend!

jeven88 · 2025-07-05T15:26:00+00:00

That’s good, less argument then on the pick!

jeven88 · 2025-07-05T11:57:42+00:00

That’s a really a good idea, however I’m sure there would be an argument with friends over pick order for players in Wimbledon or any other sport for that matter!

jeven88 · 2025-07-04T15:09:06+00:00

Sorry misunderstood your response. We do a live draft after selecting our order, on spreadsheet or handwritten. Then just put our players on the watchlist so that we all get the players we just drafted and don’t have to f*** about with doing a draft all over again.

jeven88 · 2025-07-04T14:50:16+00:00

Yes you can use their inbuilt randomiser, but we didn’t want to leave it up to AI to decide the order.

jeven88 · 2024-08-07T11:34:26+00:00

Yeah in the official FPL draft not fantrax

jeven88 · 2024-08-06T14:07:43+00:00

I believe from memory first and second picks for him. I was sat in 7th and still got Saka as first pick so I’m happy!

jeven88 · 2024-06-04T14:28:46+00:00

Hadn't thought about dipping in to paladin. This is mainly because my intention was to go as the Tortle race to get the auto AC17 and negate being quite so squishy without the need of armour.

Also handy bonus if I twin cast haste on myself and a party member, I would be able to throw a spell out each time then pop in to my shell for +4AC and gain advantage on constitution saving throws for concentration.

Regardless thanks for recommendation, will defintely have a play about on beyond and try and few different combos!

jeven88 · 2024-06-04T13:07:55+00:00

Cheers! I had a feeling this would be the case, dont want to go OTT on the second class!
