Welcome to
Fantasy League
Everything
else is VAR*
(* Very Absurd Rules)
What kind of league is it where
every manager can pick the same
players? Where last season,
91% of the teams had Erling
Haaland in them? That's like when
Erling scored for City, he scored
for Arsenal, Liverpool and Villa too.
And for Spurs, Chelsea,
Newcastle, and Man U.
Not to mention West Ham, Palace,
Brighton, Bournemouth, Fulham, Wolves,
Everton, Brentford, Forest and Luton.
Ridiculous, but that's fantasy football
played the FPL way.
Fantasy League is different
because if you have Haaland,
then no other team in your
league has him. There really
is "only one Erling Haaland".
When he scores for you, he only
scores for you.
Surely, this is the way to play
fantasy football.
So how exactly does it work?
The action always starts with the auction
(a.k.a. 'The Best Night Of The Year').
You all gather round a table (often in a pub)
and the bidding (often beer-fuelled) begins.
0nly one thing is certain - when you wake up
next morning (often with a headache),
everyone in your league has their own
unique squad with their own unique players.
Let the game and the banter begin.
Here's a slice of classic Fantasy League
action to show you exactly what we mean.
Hold on, we're showing you highlights from
10 years ago. Exactly. The players may have
changed but the game goes marching on.
The original and still the best, this is how
fantasy football is meant to be played.
Hardly surprising as we were the ones that
started the ball rolling back in 1991, before
there was a Premier League, never mind
a Fantasy Premier League, and Erling
wasn't even a twinkle in a manager's eye.
So, what happens next? This is where things get really,
really easy (think a Halaand tap-in from half a yard).

your mates for the auction that kicks everything off.
