Love the initiative by darxiaomi to be so democratic with the rules;

Regarding missed deadlines, instead of using handicaps, it might make more sense to introduce a progressive penalty system. For example, if someone misses a round, they would lose 10% of their total score for that round on the first offense, 20% on the second, and so on.

Another idea that could add a layer of strategy is the introduction of a “captain team” or “bonus team.” From all the teams a player selects in a given round, they could choose one to earn double points. Just like FPL.

Also, I think it would really improve the game if we were allowed to choose from all 20 teams in each league, instead of being limited to just five. That restriction often results in most players choosing the same obvious teams, which takes away some of the fun. Last season, teams ranked 8th, 9th or 10th many times scored 4 goals or more against lower ranked teams.

Just some suggestions to hopefully make the game even better.
