New for the 2014/15 season, Real Fantasy Football provides a fresh twist on choosing your favourite Premier League squad and battling your friends to become the best Manager in town. The brainchild of a group of friends including ex-University of Leeds student Gareth Curt, RealFF offers a fantasy football game with a more intense season-long rivalry and a more realistic opportunity to function as a real Premier League Boss.
Contrary to the traditional game, competitors have completely unique teams which are assembled using the snake-draft system similar to that used in the NFL. Budgetary constraints are completely disregarded and through 15 pulsating rounds, your 15-man squad is put together based on which players you prioritise and which players are still available. Once your side is ready, you will face weekly head-to-head battles with your league counterparts. This means that the pressure on team selection is rife as you battle to gain the all-important bragging rights and finish top of the tree.
You can make mid-week changes to your squad and even propose transfers with your rivals, so mind games and tactical awareness are both integral parts of this exhilarating game. Also, because points are only scored in the head-to-head games, you can start playing Realff at any point in the Premier League season. Despite being a relatively new project, Real Fantasy Football has already drawn a huge amount of attention. The company already has over 5,500 followers on twitter and interest is continually growing. There are a number of ways to find out more information or get involved with this exciting new venture:
