What Is an FPL Auction Draft?

An FPL auction draft is an alternative to the traditional snake draft format used in Fantasy Premier League. Instead of picking players in a fixed order, every manager starts with an equal budget and bids on players in an open auction. Players are presented one at a time, and the manager who bids the highest wins that player for their squad.

This format is widely considered more fair and strategic than snake drafts. There is no advantage to picking first or last — every manager has an equal opportunity to sign any player, as long as they manage their budget wisely. Do you spend big on Haaland and Salah, or spread your budget across multiple mid-range assets? The auction format rewards preparation, discipline, and the nerve to go all-in when the moment is right.

MyAuctionVerse brings this experience online with a dedicated FPL auction draft tool. Set up your league, add your managers, configure a 100M budget (or any custom amount), and run the entire draft through our live bidding platform — no more messy WhatsApp groups or error-prone spreadsheets.

FPL Auction Draft FAQ

How does an FPL auction draft work?

In an FPL auction draft, every manager starts with the same budget (commonly 100M). Players are nominated one at a time and all managers can bid. The highest bidder wins the player. Unlike a snake draft where pick order determines everything, an auction draft gives every manager a fair shot at any player — if you are willing to pay the price.

Can I set it up for the standard FPL squad format?

Yes. You can configure player roles to match the FPL format: Goalkeepers, Defenders, Midfielders, and Forwards. Set the required number of players per position to match the 15-man FPL squad structure, or customize it for your league's house rules.

How many managers can participate?

This depends on your plan. Our free trial supports a limited number of teams. Paid plans support larger leagues — ideal for FPL mini-leagues of 8, 10, 12 managers or even larger community drafts with dozens of participants.

Can participants join remotely?

Absolutely. MyAuctionVerse is entirely web-based. Share your auction link and managers can watch the live bidding from anywhere. The auctioneer controls the flow, and all updates sync in real-time — perfect for FPL leagues where managers are spread across different cities or countries.

Is this different from the official FPL draft mode?

Yes. The official FPL app offers a snake draft format. MyAuctionVerse provides an auction draft experience — where every player is available to the highest bidder. This format adds more strategy, excitement, and fairness compared to a fixed-order draft.

Can I stream the draft on YouTube or Twitch?

Yes. Premium plans include a broadcast overlay feature. Add the overlay URL as a Browser Source in OBS to display a professional TV-style auction experience — showing player cards, current bids, team budgets, and a live stats ticker.

What currencies and budget systems are supported?

You can set any starting budget amount (like the classic 100M) and use any currency label. The platform uses points-based bidding internally, so you can theme it however your league prefers — millions, coins, or any custom unit.
