Nine Ideas to Improve Your EPL Draft League Next Season

Whether it’s peak summer or winter for you, you're following Gold Cup or Club World Cup, or you’re already deep into those Fantrax mock drafts, there’s never a bad time to start thinking about how to level up your Fantasy EPL league.

We play one of the longest and most demanding fantasy formats in any sport. That grind, week after week for nine months, means keeping things fresh and fun isn’t optional. It’s everything. You care about your league, and want it to be more than just points and standings. The best Fantasy EPL leagues thrive on more than good picks. They’re built on rivalries, rituals, banter, and unique rules that keep managers hooked. But even great leagues can go stale. Ghost teams creep in. The group chat dies. That’s where a few smart tweaks can make all the difference. Most of these ideas presented here come from my home league, now entering its 10th season, battle-tested, argued over, and mostly beloved.

So whether you’re the commissioner, the chaos agent, or just want to keep things lively, this is your off-season playbook for all Draft Premier League styles. From clever rule changes to spicy punishments and ways to lock in engagement, here are 9 proven ways to make next season your best yet!

Nine Ideas to Improve Your EPL Draft League Next Season

I've got 9 tested ideas to improve your Fantasy EPL Draft leagues next season, whether you're a seasoned manager or a first-time drafter, there's something here for everyone. Let's dive in!

Idea 1: Maintain a banter-filled group chat

What’s kept my home league alive and kicking more than anything else? Our chaotic, relentless WhatsApp group chat. There’s nothing like going for a run or cooking dinner, only to come back to 300 unread messages, most of them nonsense, some hopefully vaguely related to the league or week's matches... But that’s the magic. Whether you’re on WhatsApp, Discord, or iMessage, a lively chat is the beating heart of any league. It’s where legends are born, rivalries simmer, and every boneheaded transfer gets its moment in the court of public shame.
