Hi everyone
There's a new draft mode in FPL this year. If you've played other fantasy games like Fantasy NFL you'll know how drafts work. In short, teams take turns to pick players from a single pool, so one team will have Harry Kane, one Alexis Sanchez, one Romelu Lukaku and so on.
During the season there are no captains, wildcards or chips. You can drop players and pick up new ones using the waiver system.
I've made a league, looking for 6-12 players (ideally 8-10).
I've scheduled the draft for the evening of Thursday 10 August with a provisional time of 9pm BST.
If you can make it, use the Draft tab on fantasy.premierleague.com and join using the code 486741-115800. If you can't be there on the night but would still like to play, you can sign up and create a Watchlist so when it's your turn to pick you'll get the highest player still on your list.

Top of the league!!
Had to dump Benteke and Mounie though - not a lot to choose from though.
No-one else seems to be making changes to their squad.

DJ how are you top with the fraud Benteke
I have made a couple of changes but I think it's worth holding onto injured players if they're good enough
Plus I've got so many fantasy teams on the go I keep forgetting who I've got in this one

Really slim pickings as far as strikers are concerned on here! Didn't act quick enough after the transfer window so some good players were snapped up

I'm a top manager, tbf.
Good midfield (Silva, Sane, Eriksen) and defence.
