    Yep. Title says it all.
    Explain it to me. I only partially understand it >,>
    It has something to do with how good players do in their games, right?

    The sun newspaper and several others run fantasy footy leagues with £100000 prizes and more.

    i dunno, whats a fantasy football wit-chu? ....lol but seriously its just like any fantasy sports league out there. you create a pool and hold a mock draft, and u add up stats during the course of the season, then the winner is who wins the most head to head or stats or wahtever u made the rules out to be, u can win money/prizes if u enter the good leagues, like espn

    There are also fantasy baseball leagues, and I have even seen a few soccer and basketball ones. Its relatively easy, as long as you have an alright team and keep your roster up-to-date.

    I used to play that when I was little with my mum, we picked lots of Leicester players so as you imagine, we didn't win anything :lol:

    your team is limited (sun newspaper)
    players are given a value
    your budget is 40mil
    no more than 2 players from any one team.
