THE LEAGUE IS NOW FULL SO I'VE REMOVED THE LINK
If you’re a bit disillusioned with other fantasy football games then this might be for you.
Where I think it scores over other games is that it’s more involving. It operates a rolling lockout, meaning that you can make transfers, substitutions, change formations, switch captains, and vice-captains, throughout the game week. Players only become locked in once their team plays, irrespective of whether they take any part in the match, and that then restricts the options available to you for the remaining matches in the round. It definitely helps if you live in a European timezone.
There’s no budget to contend with, you’re restricted to a maximum of two players per nation in the group stages although that does increase during the knockout stages. Transfers are limited to a maximum of thirty for the tournament and are released in batches. You pick a squad of 15 players - 3 forwards, 5 midfielders, 5 defenders, and 2 goalkeepers. Whilst there is a small prize fund, eligibility is restricted to residents of Australia and New Zealand.
It's fair to say that there’s a learning curve to Sportsdeck’s games and the website takes some familiarisation. If you’re looking for a set and forget-type game then this won’t be for you. If you’re after something that’s more involving, then the Euro 2020 game will probably be a good introduction.
I prepared a brief guide for the EPL game and I’ll send you a copy of that if you message me. It explains some of the tactical elements of the game, including how to maximise points from your vice-captain or captain.
We currently have 20 players in the league - it’s quite an international make-up. I am expecting a few more to sign up before the tournament starts. There’s also a chat section on the site and you’re welcome to take part.
