THE HISTORY OF SLEEPER

Launched in 2014 as a place to chat about fantasy football, their initial US leagues were launched in 2017.

Built like a messenger app, Sleeper prides itself on the app design. Initial hiring specifically brought in casual sports fans and first-time Fantasy players, so they could think outside of the box when creating a less intimidating interface for new players.

And this seems to have worked, as the app continues to gain popularity.

WHAT IS FANTASY FC?

What is Sleeper + how can you join our free Pick'em league? 1

Simply put, it’s a draft game for four, six, eight, 10 or 12 people.

The numbers need to be even because it’s a head-to-head format, where there’s no worry about budgets or player prices. But here’s the catch: only one participant can own Erling Haaland. Or Mohamed Salah. Or Alexander Isak.

With the commissioner in charge, managers pick a squad of 17 players and get rewarded for things like goals, assists, shots on target, clean sheets and saves. Line-ups can be adjusted as the Matchday progresses. Of course, just like in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), points can be lost too.

Meanwhile, the draft order can either be chosen or randomised. A ‘snake’ situation reverses the order so that the round’s final manager gets to begin the next one, whereas ‘linear’ returns to the start. Afterwards, a waiver system allows unselected players to be acquired post-draft.

Another enjoyable feature of Sleeper’s app is that the leagues have a group chat function, to let the banter flow.

    Ah. Different Sleeper. Used to quite fancy Louise Wener back in the day.

      It's the sale of the century.

      Great girl. Loved her attitude and her music.

    Team good to go? I know no Haaland is a huge risk and I have the budget to get him but also think once he’s in the squad it’s impossible to justify taking him out.

    Flekken (Neto)
    Gvardiol, Saliba, Munoz (Castagne, Barco)
    Kuluseveki, Odergaard, Jota, Nkunku, Kudus
    Isak, Watkins (Pedro)

    £7m ITB planning on enabling an upgrade of worst performing mids to Palmer and Foden or Saka in due course.

      sorry but not keen at all. I would have salah at least if you dont own haaland. gl though 🙂

      Yeah thinking Jota is going to cover you for Liverpool when he's quite likely to be on the bench . . along with no Haaland and no Salah?

        Doubt he will be benched from the off. He should be starting the first 2 gw’s you would think due to the late return of others. If he performs well in those he may be hard to drop. If not, move off him.

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 5 Years
          2 months, 27 days ago

          Nunez, Gakpo and Diaz are already back in training, absolutely no reason to believe they won't start the season.

    3. Ser Davos

      has that always been your name, "narcissist"?

    Anyone considering a punt on Summerville? Not much to get excited about in the 6m bracket

    1. WVA

      Are you nuts, the 5.5 options are incredible

      1. SAUCY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        2 months, 27 days ago

        Half considering going with 5 of them haha

      2. Better Call Raul

        Who do you like? I have Brereton already. Not keen on CHO personally

        1. WVA
          • 8 Years
          2 months, 27 days ago

          ESR Andrea CHO Elanga Murphy Diaz etc

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 5 Years
      2 months, 27 days ago

      He has definitely been on my radar. If he makes the step up this year he could be dynamite.

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years

      where does he start, in CAM? is Paqueta done for with the betting issue

  4. WVA

    Getting there, two City, two Arsenal and a bit of Spurs, Chelsea and Newcastle.

    Raya

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 27 days ago

      not sure about the structure 6.5 5.5 5.5 mid even though they are all ok picks

      1. WVA
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 27 days ago

        That’s the thing, they are all good picks to start with and lots of options around their price too

      2. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 months, 27 days ago

        If he’s planning to get to 5 transfers at the start then there’s nothing wrong with the structure because he won’t be hopping on to any bandwagons (meaning he won’t need to think about creating funds)

    2. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 months, 27 days ago

      Mate, could have sworn I saw you saying Havertz was a bad pick. Could be wrong, not gonna scroll through your comments history. Good team tho.

      1. x.jim.x
        • 10 Years
        2 months, 27 days ago

        I remember a big essay about not getting “the hype” too

        1. WVA
          • 8 Years
          2 months, 27 days ago

          That weren’t my comment

          1. x.jim.x
            • 10 Years
            2 months, 27 days ago

            Fair, probably misremembering

      2. WVA
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 27 days ago

        I was saying he was a good pick but had someone far more knowledgeable post some stats showing how much he would regress fpl wise due to his reclassification which I shared but I’ve had him in a lot of drafts from the off, like three strikers too

      3. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 27 days ago

        He got a goal and two assists today though 🙂

        1. TheBiffas
          • 3 Years
          2 months, 27 days ago

          I knew as soon as he scored we'd start seeing him in teams again.

          1. Ser Davos
            • 9 Years
            2 months, 27 days ago

            you can definitely count me as naysayer on Havertz, purely down to the classification

            if he sustains it, then I'll happily hold my hands up

            1. Ser Davos
              • 9 Years
              2 months, 27 days ago

              I think he's potentially like the opposite of defenders

              ie people thinking why bother with defenders given the BP changes

              whilst Havertz's loss of CSs and 5 points for a goal gets evened out by BPS

              I still think the opposite is true

              A big thing in Havertz's favour is assists, a bit like Suarez used to be and Watkins last season. Assists for a forward along with the obvious goals are absolute gold dust

  5. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    2 months, 27 days ago

    Always end up wildcarding early anyway, so why not take a risk.

    Pope
    Gabriel Porro Zinchenko
    Son Trossard Jota Gordon
    Haaland Isak Muniz

    Bentley Sangare Robinson Harwood-Bellis

    1. Salarrivederci

      Thats why BB GW1 is gold

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 2 Years
        2 months, 27 days ago

        Yeah - first time ever looking as option

        What would be your main players to maximise
        15 players in gw1

    2. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 months, 27 days ago

      Two possible outcomes:

      a) Zinchenko, Trossard and Jota start, Arsenal clean sheet, Trossard and Jota hauls

      b) All 3 benched, 1pt cameos apiece, sangare haul on the bench

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        2 months, 27 days ago

        Ha! Certainly FPL.

        Realistic scenario is a 1 return overall for Zinchenko, Trossard, Jota. Taken off after 65 mins, benched the next game!

        1. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          2 months, 27 days ago

          WCGW2 and you don’t have to worry about it

    3. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 27 days ago

      Do you always end up WC early because you always take a risk early though?

  6. Moneymar
    • 2 Years
    2 months, 27 days ago

    I know it’s United, but Shaw or Dalot?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 months, 27 days ago

      Shaw if you have to 😆

  7. Mother Farke
      2 months, 27 days ago

      Brighton are after Ferdi Kadıoğlu. Can play LB, so worth keeping an eye on re: Barco.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        2 months, 27 days ago

        Primarily plays LB and Brighton bid 35m Euros, Barco won't be a pick by GW1 deadline

    • Moneymar
      • 2 Years
      2 months, 27 days ago

      CHO or ESR? 🙂

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 months, 27 days ago

        ESR is in my team as a cheeky punt. With my sensible hat on, CHO

      Doesn't look Calafiori will be an option in GW1...

      Arteta on Calafiori (not in the #AFC squad today): "So much has happened to him in one week. He has come in to a new environment, a completely different methodology, different training and we are managing him. We want to do it slowly, to get him in the best possible way."

    • Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 months, 27 days ago

      Arteta on Timber: “He had a little discomfort in his foot the last few days. After the time he has been out, we did not want to take any risks.”

      Another night. Another (better) RMT.

      Raya.
      Quansah. Robinson. Livra.
      Salah. Son. Bobb. Elanga.
      Isak. Haaland. Havertz.

      Barco. Faes. blah-de-blah

      Thoughts?

      1. The Knights Template

        Why is Quansah there?

        1. jayzico
          • 13 Years
          2 months, 27 days ago

          He's in 50% if not more pundit's pages

          1. The Knights Template
            • 10 Years
            2 months, 27 days ago

            I don’t think that’s a good enough reason to own him personally.

      2. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 months, 27 days ago

        Is Quansah a likely starter?

        1. jayzico
          • 13 Years
          2 months, 27 days ago

          Yup. No biggie if not. He'll prob be gone by tomorrow.

          Don't know how you can dis a team just cos of one player.

          1. _Freddo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            2 months, 27 days ago

            I’m not dissing your team, I am interested in him myself but don’t want to make a transfer for 5 weeks so don’t want a fire to put out

            1. jayzico
              • 13 Years
              2 months, 27 days ago

              Sorry Freddo, that wasn't aimed at you, it's just where the thread chose to put the comment.

              OK. Quansah out. Maybe.

              I'd laugh if he played and Trent wasn't though.

      3. Hangman Page
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Not for me.

      4. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        2 months, 27 days ago

        I think I would start Blah-de-blah over Quansah

      5. Whiskerz
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 27 days ago

        Too many rotation risks

      6. jayzico
        • 13 Years
        2 months, 27 days ago

        Quansah been in and out. Want Gue at Newcastle.

        I honestly can't better this any moment soon.

        Love TBH

      Despite all the gambling it transpires that FFS' most questionable affiliation is with twitter. Talk about ruining lives

        Is this just a general observation or has something prompted this?

        I agree though, Twitter is an algorithm-driven cesspool!

        1. Ginkapo FPL

            I thought you were more referring to FFS's relationship with Twitter.

            I've noticed the riots alright but I'm not British. My own country is heading in a similar direction though unfortunately.

            The Twitter echo chamber has been polarising people for years - particularly in the US. I agree that Musk is making things far worse now. It's similar to newspapers promoting their owner's interests in the past but a major problem is that Twitter seems to have close to a monopoly on the market.

            2 months, 27 days ago

            Musk is only allowing you to see news, he’s not creating it, without Twitter you wouldn’t see half of what’s going on.

            The Governments hate it because they are no longer in control of the narratives and there’s nothing they can do to stop Musk, hence why he will be smeared & blamed but doubt he cares.

            1. panda07
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              2 months, 27 days ago

              It’s a bit of a chicken and egg situation, without Twitter you wouldn’t see half of what’s going on but without Twitter would half of the stuff be happening at all?

              You say that “Musk doesn’t create news”. He very much has an influence on how it can be portrayed and what news is at the forefront. I’d argue that he does creates news indirectly through Twitter, going back to my first point above.

              1. _Freddo
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 15 Years
                2 months, 27 days ago

                You think? The concerns of the people are there and real, Twitter isn’t creating the problem, it’s just showing people it’s there when the MSM would rather mask it.

                If there was no Twitter there would still be hundreds of people crossing the channel illegally every day, there would still be people misbehaving in towns, there would still be children getting killed, concerts being blown up (Taylor Swift last night was targeted) there would still be terrorism, you just wouldn’t see it.

                Musk ‘creates the news’ by highlighting the hypocrisy & double standards in play, you’ll find it’s the MPs and the liberal left who are losing their minds over this because they can no longer control the news/narrative & they are picking a fight with someone who’s so rich, they can’t control or silence him.

                  2 months, 27 days ago

                  But Musk does attempt to create a news agenda, mainly with him as the centre of the universe as an unelected 'leader of the world'. E.G. Claiming that a civil war in the UK was inevitable. He needs to keep his snebber out of what isn't his business before someone reshapes it for him.

                    2 months, 27 days ago

                    Is it not though? Did you see what happened in Birmingham during the week (if you’re not on Twitter you wouldn’t have seen it)

                    Have you seen what’s happening in Ireland with their Police v the People?

                    Have you seen the state of America with the Dems v Maga?

                    Have you seen what’s kicking off in India right now?

                    These issues are global

                    He’s only saying what many are already thinking but some are just too fragile to cope with it, he doesn’t need to be shut down, if people can’t cope, delete the app.

                    Anyway, back to fantasy.

                    Trent or Havertz? Who you picking?

                      Neither, & neither have I ever had a social media account let alone Musk's.

                        That’s fair, that’s your choice, it’s those who try to take away your choice are the people to worry about, not those who are simply having an opinion that you may or may not like.

                        There’s a name for people like that, ironically it’s a name they throw around at other people….

                        Let me ask you a question, if there were ‘100 planned riots’ set to happen, do you think it would be broadcast in the media all day?

                        Do you think the people involved in said riots would walk into a trap like that on live TV?

                        The list was a hoax, this has been confirmed, my guess is the media/Police ran with that story to mobilise the people to give them a much needed win and the optics that is on every front page after a torrid week where they’ve faced untold criticism for the way they’ve policed some riots and let others (like Harehills & the lads who beat up the armed Police) slide.

                        The socialist worker people turn up at every protest, be it about race, Hamas or Trans rights, they often want to silence people & shut down debate & are often quite intimidating & violent, when you say fascist, who exactly are you talking about lol?

                          I think trying to attack people and kill them because you perceive them as different to you is pretty fascist.

                  The liberal left are "losing their minds" because an immature man-baby who's richer than God bought one of the biggest social media sites in the world and uses it to push his disgusting right-wing agenda and incendiary misinformation. He's shown time and time again that he's a complete moron.

                  As you said below, we should get back to fantasy football, so this will be my last comment on this.

                  I think there is a major problem when someone unelected has so much power to manipulate and push their own agenda. It’s not like billionaires are well known for their scruples and morality either!

                  The fake news that the Southport attacker came was Muslim originated on Twitter and led to mosques being attacked. You’ll say that the attack itself created the news but what influenced the attacker to carry out the attack? Could Twitter have played a part in it? Or even fake news from another source?

                  It is quite convenient for billionaires to have others fighting amongst themselves. They can continue to get disproportionately richer while others are preoccupied. Meanwhile, there are people living in poverty all around the globe. It’s classic divide and conquer seen throughout history. Their biggest fear is people will unite and question their quite often but not always ill-gotten gains and god forbid tax them more. Narcissism is a dominant trait in a lot of billionaires IMO and Musk is at the forefront of this. Someone so self-serving with so much power is extremely dangerous IMO. A self-fulfilling prophecy like “civil war is inevitable “ is madness.

        Double 4.0 defenders is a risk and a difficult position to shimmy out of. Not sure the funds that could fix tgat are worth investing in TAA.

      5. Mata of opinion

        Thanks all! Have done the following:

        TAA, barco, 4.0gk> Porro, Hall, Henderson + 0.5itb. Feels a bit more balanced now

    • Ser Davos

      So Raya, Saliba and Saka are likely to be good to go for GW1?

      Gordon and Trips don't look too likely at this stage

      Foden will be eased back 100% though that could come quickly ie starting GW2. Rodri would actually be the ideal 6.5 to start with if he's going to go straight back in

      Palmer will go straight in given his importance?

      Pickford should also go straight in as well

      Guehi will be in limbo I'm guessing

          ta - leaning towards C for early fixtures

        Starting Leif Davis every week could be brilliant or not...

          One for the early WCers I feel.

        Wouldn't get my hopes up on Barco. Other than that, really good.

        1. The 12th Man
          • 11 Years
          2 months, 27 days ago

          Probably only play wk 1 then bench for Robinson.

          1. No Professionals
            • 7 Years
            2 months, 27 days ago

            If he’s only playing 1 week, you’d be better getting a 4.0 that Ian nailed, no point getting a dead asset for the sake of 1 week

      2. Connor's Calling
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 months, 27 days ago

        Like it. ESR and Havertz could be great shouts. Wonder if ESR a risk you don't need to take early on until he settles in though? Guess not many other options at £5.5m tbf

        1. The 12th Man
          • 11 Years
          2 months, 27 days ago

          I’d love an Everton 5.5m but not sure from GW1 which one yet.

          1. Mother Farke
              2 months, 27 days ago

              As things stand, I'd go for either Lindstrom (who is obviously new to the league) or McNeil. The latter has been working on his "technical attributes" over the summer so he could be more of a threat if he's learnt how to use his weaker foot. In addition, I feel Harrison will be behind these two for the wing slots.

              I'd avoid Ndiaye and Doucoure as both of them are in competition with each other. Ndiaye has versatility on his side whereas Doucoure is only truly effective as a 10 playing behind DCL.

              1. The 12th Man
                • 11 Years
                2 months, 27 days ago

                Yeh you’re right, the only viable one from the start is probably McNeil. Lindstrom looks interesting but might not be up to speed.
                Probably best to monitor until the first WC.
                Thank you.

        Havertz 8.0m FWD

        Arteta has been splitting Havertz mins at CF and left 8 through preseason.

        Does this reduce his FPL appeal?

          Yeah I'd say so

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          2 months, 27 days ago

          I think once Saka and Rice are back in Havertz starts up top more often, but I also think Jesus could eat into his pitchtime

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 5 Years
            2 months, 27 days ago

            Interesting quote from Arteta after the game stating he likes Trossard/Havertz/Jesus linkup play on the left side

            https://x.com/HarrySymeou/status/1821273982802485261?t=D0JTATpSgHMEhhqeugWI7Q&s=19

            • 15 Years
            2 months, 27 days ago

            I’d say Jesus will cut more into Saka’s mins on the right during games, Saka has had a long two/three years & Arteta will look to protect him more in games.

            Havertz availability is his strength, Saka will have to be protected through the season.

        3. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          2 months, 27 days ago

          Only because of the lack of options in Mf in pre season.

          Sounds like Merino will be completed this week & Rice is also back, can’t see Havertz playing in MF when the season starts.

      5. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 months, 27 days ago

        Morning all, if you could pick one, who you picking?

        Trent or Havertz?

        Not even sure if Trent will be ready for GW1 so that’s an obvious concern.
