What is Draft MLS?
Ever wanted to manage a football team, but never had the opportunity? Think you have the tactical prowess to outmaster Ferguson, Mourinho or just your friends? Draft MLS is the perfect opportunity to show off your managerial skills. In Draft Fantasy each person in your league picks a unique squad of 15 players in what is known as "the draft". The draft progresses turn by turn till all squads are filled up.
For of the 34 weeks of the MLS season you pick 11 players for your lineup and 4 for your bench. Your players score points based on their performances. The better they perform the more points they score.
Trade with friends, show off your business acumen and footballing knowledge, and mould the perfect team. Whoever has the most points in your league by the end is crowned the Southend Supporters Shield champion.
What makes Draft different to other Fantasy Football games for the MLS?
Other fantasy games for the MLS work with a salary cap and you can pick any team you want as long as it fits the budget. This leads to a lot of “template” teams where everyone in your league has picked very similar squads. In Draft MLS, any one MLS player can only be owned by single team in your league at any one time. If you own Giovinco, no one else in the league does. If somebody wants him, they might have to offer you multiple players to get him off you.
