Forget boring fantasy football. This is Draft Night. This is banter. This is your squad, your rules…only on StatrDraft.
StatrDraft isn’t just another fantasy football game it’s fantasy football rewritten, do you love the beautiful game and proper despise your mates? Step right this way. No more cookie-cutter teams where everyone’s got the same front three. No more watching your mate cruise because he triple-captained Salah (again). This is real tactics, real bragging rights, and real rivalries. From the madness of Draft Night to the weekly warzones of Head-to-Head matchups and the stats-driven grind of Draft Classic, here’s your ultimate guide to how our favourite night of the year works.
Draft Night is where legends are made. It’s the high-stakes, high-banter launchpad for everything that makes StatrDraft different. No identical teams. No boring points races. Just pure tactical chaos, banter flying, and the bragging rights that last all season. Here’s how Draft Night works and how the game modes that follow turn mates into rivals.
What Is Draft Night?
Draft Night is where your journey begins, because Draft Night is the holy grail. It’s the big kick-off. Think of it like the transfer window, compressed into one electrifying evening. Each league has its own live draft, where players take turns selecting their squad from the player pool. The moment the season truly begins and the first chance to absolutely rattle your mates.
Imagine this: burgers sizzling on the barbecue, beers chilling in the cooler, and your league’s group chat already blowing up. Whether you’re huddled around the kitchen table, hosting a proper Draft BBQ, or doing it over Zoom with a few sneaky drinks, Draft Night is an event. And like any good footballing moment, it’s all about planning, execution, and vibes.
All you need for the ultimate draft night:
🔥 Burgers on the BBQ
🍻 Beers on ice
💬 Group chat already popping off
🎶 Your team’s anthem blaring from a Bluetooth speaker
Whether you’re at the kitchen table in full kit or logging into Zoom with a sneaky pint, Draft Night is an event — and it’s all about flexing your football IQ before a ball is even kicked.
How It Works:
-
Snake Draft Format: Picks go 1 to 10, then 10 back to 1 — to keep it fair.
-
Exclusive Picks: You pick a player, they’re yours. Forever. No duplicates, no mercy.
-
Tactical Decisions: Go big and nab a star early? Or go double threat with back-to-back solid picks at the turn?
- Strategic Depth: Picking early might get you a star, but picking late in Round 1 means you get the first pick in Round 2.
Draft Night is part pub quiz, part chess match, part night at the darts and all about vibes and banter. Set the tone. Playlist on. Jerseys out. And get the group chat roasting early.
Game Modes Explained
StatrDraft gives you two main game modes, both built around that same glorious, draft-only format where every player is unique and every decision matters.
1. Head-to-Head Mode
This one’s for the weekly wind-ups. It’s all about that one-on-one scrap every single gameweek.
-
🆚 Weekly Matchups: Face off against a different opponent each week.
-
📈 Win/Loss Records: Stack wins and climb the league ladder like a boss.
-
🏆 Playoffs (Optional): End the season with a knockout stage for maximum chaos and ultimate bragging rights.
One week you’re top of the world, the next you’re begging your left-back for a clean sheet. That’s Head-to-Head.
2. Draft Classic Mode
Prefer long-term domination over short-term trash talk? Classic mode’s your jam. This is the perfect mode for fans who prefer consistency over weekly drama. Draft Classic is a cumulative points-based system
-
📊 Total Points Wins: The player with the most points at the end of the season is crowned champ.
-
🔁 No Matchups: Everyone plays everyone, every week.
-
🤓 Stat-Lovers’ Dream: Perfect for fans who track form, study fixtures, and live for that cheeky bonus point.
It’s a straight-up points race — no fixtures, no excuses. Just pure, unfiltered fantasy football.
How Do You Get Started?
Getting going is easier than getting Spurs into a cup final (sorry Spurs fans, we had to).
-
Rally the Mates: Fire up the group chat. Rope in that one mate who thinks he’s Pep. Setting up a new league take just a few seconds. You choose the format, duration, and entry rules.
-
Create Your League: Head to StatrDraft.com, set your format, pick your mode. Easy.
-
Set Your Draft Night: Pick a date and make it an occasion. BBQ, beers, virtual call — just make it fun.
-
Draft Your Team: Pick your team, and steal the players they want just for the craic. Time to put your ball knowledge to the test. Trash talk encouraged.
-
Let the Season Begin: Weekly rivalry, bold transfers, last-minute panics — it’s all part of the game.
