Ladies and gentlemen I have a question for you:
A guy I used to work with runs a fantasy Premier League auction every year before the season kicks off. I haven't been for a few years but the general gist is:
- Up to twenty, more like fifteen, managers turn up
- We have £50m to spend on a squad of 16 players
- You have to play 4-4-2
- I believe you can only have 3 players from one team but that may be wrong, for the purposes of this, let's assume I am right
- Starting with GKs, in order of team, the auctioneer reads down the full list of players and the managers auction for each
- Points are earned for both Premier League games and the FA cup
The few times I have done it I have seen different tactics, some go and blow the vast majority of their budget on one super player and pad the squad with sub-par players after that. Some spread their budget across, which is my preferred tactic.
What players do you think are underrated that could do a solid job this year?
I will post the list I have so far in a minute.
Cheers all.
