Why it lands
They already love the format
Same idea: snake draft, your own players, trades and waivers. Nothing new to learn.
A deeper pool, if you want it
Keep it Premier League or add up to four more leagues, so the waiver wire isn't backup full-backs by November.
Scoring engineered for football
Tackles, interceptions, duels and key passes all count, with every position scored for its own job. Tested across 10+ seasons.
The message to send
You know how the waiver wire's dead by November in our draft? There's one where you can add La Liga, Serie A and the rest to the pool, or just stick to the Prem. Tackles and key passes score too. Want to run a second league?

The honest catch
It's a switch from a game they already enjoy, and FPL Draft is the official Premier League game. It's easiest to try as a second league alongside it.
"Can we start now?"
Yes. You can draft now and play from the current gameweek, or join the list for next season and start from day one.
"How long does it run?"
A full season runs August to May, but your league sets it up: an American setup with playoffs, a European-style table, or your own custom schedule.
