The international break is upon us ๐ฅฑ BUT FEAR NOT - I have something FUN for you ๐
I've created a new fantasy football game ๐
I've played fantasy for a LONG time, I've got 3 top 1k finishes in FPL, finished 2nd overall in the Sky game, top 10 in FanTeam. I also helped get fantasy champ man going during lockdown. All in all, I know fantasy!
And for my day job, I literally invent (board) games.
Much as we love it, I think FPL is a bit broken. I've put my experience together to create a genuinely new fantasy football format that I think should be a LOT of fun, and addresses a lot of the ways I think FPL is broken:
- better points system brings many more players into choice
- scarce supply of players forces variety in teams
- dynamic market-based pricing *set by the players* avoids dead spots and keeps things fresh and interesting - you're genuinely playing other managers rather than the pricing system.
- no copycat/template teams can emerge, everyone has to find their own path
- genuine strategic decisions, and more uncertainty, makes a more varied and challenging game
I've honestly got a bit bored of FPL in recent seasons. So I created the fantasy game I want to play. It's free to play and I'm confident it's going to do well, but it needs testing with a small-ish game to make sure it works OK.
We've already run a successful rehearsal test, now we're looking for managers who want to play for at least 5 GWs up until the next international break (and longer if you can). All you need to do is play it, and give your feedback.
During this international break you'll be planning, building your initial auction, setting maximum prices for players you like and getting everything ready for GW6 (aka GW1!).
And then the game kicks off, with variety and originality from FPL, a stock-market style trading system and (hopefully) a much better fantasy football experience.
I would LOVE help - if you're up for playing and feeding back your honest thoughts please comment below and I'll get in touch ๐
"Hits McGee" didn't pay off this week in #FPL - BUT I still had a banger of a week.
Making the most of bragging about it before I return to form and end up c.1m ๐๐๐
Wildcard active for GW6, but I'm going to enjoy this three week break.
See you all on the other side๐ค๐ป
This season in #FPL I've decided to take a hit every week to chase the upside and build squad value.
I find it more fun than rolling FT's. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
So far, all hits have paid off & I'm at 58k (the highest I've ever been).
Fernandes/Thomas > MGW/Munoz
WC in GW6.
Good luck all ๐ค๐ป
Been building something a little different for #NFLFantasy this seasonโฆ ๐๐

Built to dig deeper into fixtures, form, projections, value and player-v-player decisions.
Still evolving ๐๐ฅ
