Why you should play Dream Team Draft this season – the most rewarding format in fantasy football

DREAM TEAM DRAFT is back for another season to provide gaffers with an alternative version of the UK and Ireland's best fantasy football game.

Our classic Season game is bundles of fun but Draft offers something a little different and is arguable the most rewarding format available.

There's nothing quite like one of your players scoring a hat-trick when you know you're the only person in your mini-league set to benefit.

Here's a refresher on the rules:

• Draft pits you in a league against other managers, as you build a 15-man squad to take you to the top
• Before your league starts you'll take part in a live draft to choose your team, with no players in the league duplicated
• That's right, if you have Mohamed Salah in your team, then that means Bob from HR can't have him
• The game weeks work on a head-to-head basis, pitting you up against another manager in your league each week with three points for a win, zero points for a loss and one point for a draw
• Unlike the Season game, Draft only counts points from Premier League matches. So cup and Euroepan competitions are excluded
• Because it's a head-to-head system, leagues must consist of even numbers with a minimum of four teams. Six or eight are probably the optimum league size
