Quite honestly, I don't like the EPL system. I am glad the Bundesliga has limited the influence of private investors concerning the club leadership.
I think clubs like Chelsea and Manchester City are pretty pathetic, some oligarch or sheik throwing around money and buying any player available. It's like football manager with a money cheat. And in case the owner loses interest, the club is in huge financial problems/close to bankruptcy (Malaga).

I would probably suggest the official one which is pretty good and free

I'd join and put minimal effort into it.

I'm not a big fan of fantasy football any more, I normally forget about my team after about 10 games.
Shame they don't really do it with a draft system, would be much more fun as they'd then only be my players, rather than half the teams picking up the same players

We could do a draft for ourselves, I guess. Shouldn't be too hard to adapt the ruleset they use for the American Football Fantasy. Requires some more work, but it could be fun.

Is it possible to transfer players with a draft or are you stuck with them for the season?

Maybe make transfers with non-drafted players free (under the rules of the fantasy football site only - if I remember correctly, they have some limits regarding transfers), but you need to exchange a drafted player with the guy that drafted him to use it (you offer Fernando Torres for Van Persie and someone is crazy to accept that - than both of you have to make the same trade on that round).
Probably too complicated to actually be viable, but there you have it.

In light of the recent protests in Brazil, I submit this to general appreciation.

Edit: Not trying to make a political statement on favour or against this message. Also, my intention is not to rain in whoever wants to come to the WC's parade. I just figured I should bring publicity to the issue, so that anyone who takes interest on it can read more about it and make their own decision/opinion.
