Yeah, we're talking about Fantasy Football guys.
Let's get this basic concept out of the way: Fantasy Football involves selecting real players to create fake teams that earn points based on real players' performances on the field. If your fake team scores more points than other people's fake team, you win (and get to rub it in their face on Tuesday morning).
In a league with Head-to-Head scoring, every team plays a match against another team in the league each Gameweek. The match result is based on the Gameweek score of each team minus any transfer points spent preparing for the Gameweek.
The attractiveness of Fantasy:
Soccer has been and will continue to be the most popular sport in the world and it was only a matter of time before daily fantasy sports sites included soccer as part of their offering. The sport continues to grow on both the national and international stages. The international intrigue is not reserved for the World Cup every four years, so the compounding interest has created a market for daily fantasy soccer leagues. Yes, the secret is out, soccer still appeals to the masses as it rightly should. With the emergence of fantasy soccer, the benefactor is us, the fans. So get your favourite player's jersey and check out what it takes to assemble your Fantasy Soccer team.
And here is where the fun comes, guys - you can go nuts. You want a team of full-speed North Africans, go for it. Some classical heavy-on-their-feet giants from the East... ? be my guest! You want to bring back the Vikings and assemble a full Nordic roster. Again, you are free!
Imagine for the latter, you dig in Scandinavian countries' football players and handpick here and there which ones suit you. A little bit of Christian Eriksen from Tottenham here, Kasper Schmeichel of Leicester City there, Teemu Pukki from Norwich city... Sprinkle a little Zlatan and you get the rest. You've got the Norse back on track ready to own their place in your league!
Not only fantasy winnings:
You can even earn money by winning real cash prizes after participating in daily or seasonal fantasy contests. If your selected English Premier League lineup gets the highest number of fantasy points, you get to win cash prizes. You can enter head-to-head duels and challenge your friends for cash. It's not as simple as other online platforms to earn a living from this. You might find options like online poker or more classical casino games. There's a big window of opportunity on the internet (slot machine/card-based games/roulette-style wages) if you are indeed interested in making a more stable revenue. And like your Scandinavian team would tell you, "Kasino ilman rekisteröitymistä" might be a more straight line to go for if you're interested in making some bucks. Online casinos tend to have more relevance for it. But in the end, Fantasy Soccer is just not all about that.
It's about having fun and immersing yourself in being the coach of your own team. Making magic from your decisions instead of bitching about this manager or that manager's choices and mistakes.
Fantasy Football is an amazing way to enjoy soccer, alone or with friends. There really is no reason not to go for it!
