Yeah Callum Chambers was scoring points like crazy for me last year.

As for the time, doesn't matter to me. I work from home 90% of the time and with two young kids I'm up at all times of the day/night.

I can't remember for sure, but I know I either finished 3rd or 4th. And my GK situation was a complete week to week dumpster fire after Joe Hart literally got transferred the first couple weeks. Haha

My phone froze on me when the draft started, and I ended up getting Fuchs and Willian with my first two picks instead of De Bruyne and Lukaku like I'd planned for. Smh. I definitely had a lot of fun and learned a lot.

Thanks, good piece of advice!

I had already looked at the scoring system of course, but that alone doesn't really tell you anything about what positions to target early on since it doesn't show the drop-off for every position.

After taking a look at the players' total points and ppg from last year, it immediately became clear that the difference between the 1st and 15th GK is still pretty small whereas the difference between the elite strikers/playmakers and the second/third/fourth tier ones is a lot bigger.

This guy is doing research—look out, fellas.

I'm looking forward to once again claiming the second-place spot. It's basically a trophy, ya know.

Just a heads up, I accidentally "renewed" the league from last year (this wasn't an option when I created the new league for this year) so if you got an email regarding this, please ignore it.

See you all then! We still have one open spot available, visit the first post for the information.

The draft system looks to have been updated since last year so hopefully, it's a bit smoother this year.
