We’re Jon, Jimi, and Damien, three mates brought together by football and kept together by a fantasy football league we built ourselves over 10 years ago. Back then, we were running it from the backroom of a phone shop, frustrated with how boring and predictable fantasy football had become. We wanted a game where tackles, interceptions, and key passes mattered just as much as goals. Where every team in the league was unique.
So we made it. For 10 years, we played our own draft-style format, tweaking and perfecting the rules, the scoring system, and the competitive banter. It wasn’t just a game, it became a tradition. And then we thought, “Why not make this for everyone else too?”
Now, after a decade of playing, building, and dreaming, we’ve created StatrDraft ,a smarter, more strategic fantasy football platform that brings everything we love about the game to fans everywhere. Whether you’re a stats nerd, an every day football supporter, or just want a proper head-to-head with your mates, StatrDraft is for you.
With your help, we’re getting it over the line.
Why Now?
The Premier League season is just around the corner (isn’t it always) and this year, fans deserve more than copy-paste teams and boring point systems. Fantasy football hasn’t changed in 20 years. But the game has. The way we watch, follow, and understand football is smarter, deeper, and more social than ever. That’s why we’re launching StatrDraft now:
- To give fans a better platform before the new season kicks off
- To get leagues formed, rivalries reignited, and draft nights booked
- And to finally bring the fun, fairness, and strategy back to fantasy football
This is your shot to get in early, shape the game, and be part of something built by fans, for fans.
What We’re Funding
We’re raising €50,000 to take StatrDraft from passion project to fully-fledged fantasy football platform. Your support will help us:
- Launch Publicly ahead of the new EPL season
- Develop Native Mobile Apps for iOS and Android to make it easier to draft, trade, and play on the go.
- Add New Game Modes and enhance features based on 10 years of gameplay
- Grow Our Community through smart marketing and outreach
- Support Our Players with a real-time help team and community tools
Perks for Backers
Supporters will get exclusive, limited-run perks, including:
- Merch (limited-edition caps, supporter kits, and gear)
- Founding Member Badge (your legacy forever marked in-app)
- League Naming Rights (name a league for a season)
- Private Discord Access (help shape the platform)
- Early Access (get in before launch)
Even if we don’t hit the full target, our core product will still launch—we’ve bootstrapped this far and we’re not stopping now. But hitting our goal fast-tracks the full experience and gets it into fans’ hands faster.
The Impact
Fantasy football is broken. Everyone has the same team, scoring is basic, it’s boring. Fantasy football should be fun, fair, and fresh, but most platforms haven’t changed in 20 years. StatrDraft brings the game into the modern era:
- Real football actions matter.
- Every team is unique thanks to our draft-style format.
- Fans actually get to own their leagues.
You’re not just backing a cool app. You’re joining a movement to make fantasy football better—, for stat geeks, for casual players, for mates who want proper bragging rights.
Your support means more than just funding. It helps us stay independent, fan-led, and community-driven. It lets us compete with industry giants not by outspending them, but by outsmarting them.
Together, we’re building something authentic—and giving fans a platform they’ve been waiting for. Your support means the world to us, and helps give fans a better, smarter way to play the game they love.
Risks & Challenges
As with any tech platform, development and launch timelines carry some risk. However, we already have a working MVP, a growing waitlist, and experience shipping digital products.
We’ve also been recognised by top startup programmes like NDRC and Enterprise Ireland, which provided expert mentorship and validation. Our team knows the game, knows the tech, and knows how to get this over the line. With your support, we’ll do exactly that.
Other Ways You Can Help
We get it…sometimes money’s tight. But you can still be part of the StatrDraft journey:
- Share our campaign on social, in your group chats, or with your fantasy league.
- Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube (@StatrDraft) and like/comment to boost reach.
- Tag football fans, podcasters, and content creators who’d love this.
- Use the Indiegogo share tools to spread the word with one click.
Word of mouth got us through 10 years of building this with our friends. Now we’re just asking you to do what football fans do best, back your team. Thanks for supporting a game built by fans, for fans.
