5 apps where you can play 'Fantasy Football'
India has been gripped by the FIFA World Cup fever with fans ready to spend sleepless nights for the sporting spectacle. In case, you are looking for real action rather than just watching matches, you can try your hands at 'Fantasy Football'. It would let you test your managerial skills against the likes of Low and Deschamps. Here are the top 'Fantasy Football' platforms.
FIFA World Cup Russia Fantasy
FIFA's official app is one of the best platforms for fantasy football addicts. With a budget of €100 million, you have to buy a squad of 15 players. Every squad must comprise of minimum 2 goal-keepers, 5 defenders, 5 mid-fielders and 3 forwards. You have 8 formations to tinker with. You will be provided with a certain number of transfers as the tournament progresses.
Goal Fantasy Football
Fantasy football by Goal.com is one of the most popular platforms out there. You begin with a £75 million war chest which you spend on 11 players. What makes this app much more interesting is the live and interactive news feed feature. This keeps you updated about the injuries and team news. You can win close to £10,000 in prizes as well.
Soccerway Fantasy iTeam
Fantasy football on Soccerway Fantasy iTeam is very much similar to that of Goal.com. You are given a £75 million budget to chose players and bag points based on their performances. This platform also has features like transfers, commentary and interactive news feed. However, what is new about this app is the head-to-head feature to challenge your friends.
RealFevr - Fantasy sports
This fantasy app is a little different from the rest as you have two modes of play. There is a fixed salary cap model where you will be given a budget of €100 million to buy players. Otherwise, you can opt for the draft model and play among your friends with 10 users per league. However, the draft model is not for beginners.
India's own Dream XI
This app is the unique one out in the market. You get to build teams for every match. For each fixture, you have 100 credits. You have to pick a goal-keeper, 3-5 defenders, 3-5 mid-fielders and 1-3 forwards. Each player has certain credits, and you need to ensure your team is within the 100 credits and has at least 4 players from each team.
