17/18 Fantasy Premier League (Togga)

[Brahvocado]

My best times are during the day, so like 9-5 Pacific basically, because I'm a bad employee

I'd personally prefer a daytime draft as well, mainly because that would mean it's still somewhere during the evening for me. But if it ends up being later during the day for y'all, I'll just set an alarm in the middle of the night :').

Okay, I should've just done another Doodle. Here it is!

The times that are listed should be specific to your IP address, so keep this in mind. Once we narrow it down, I'll post again to confirm the times with their time zones.

Also, I have a question relating to player positions and the draft due to this being my first time playing fantasy soccer.

Are there any of the positions considered to be bigger difference makers than others, or is it more or less the same for all of them? As in, are the differences between the star players and second/third tier players at a certain position relatively bigger or smaller than for other positions?

Like, would someone such as Courtois or De Gea normally go in the early rounds of the draft? Or is it mainly the elite strikers, wingers and playmakers?

With fantasy football for instance it's a common rookie mistake to take a QB early, because they get the most fantasy points (but all of them do and the differences are very small, so there is no point in reaching for any of them). Whereas elite RB's are worth reaching for due to their big impact.

Mostly elite playmakers because Togga values goals, assists, and other attacking stats so highly. I think I finished 4th/5th last year with both Middlesbrough keepers

Here is how the scoring the works:

To give you an idea of how the scoring can be used to your advantage without having the top play makers, James Milner who mainly played Leftback last season finished in the top 20 scorers.

You can also jump into the draft now and see points and points per match from last year. Overall, the draft system looks like an improvement from last year. Should be exciting.

I'd even say that consistency in performance is more important than anything. My second highest point earner last season was Michael Antonio and he missed the last like two months.

Keepers and defenders can get decent points as long as they play well. Sunderland were obviously abysmal last season, but Pickford still got my quite a lot of points just because he made so many saves.
