The highly-anticipated and brand-new ‘Fantasy EFL’ – the EFL’s first 72-club fantasy football product – is live to play now.
In partnership with Genius Sports, Fantasy EFL will feature players from across all three of the EFL’s divisions – the Championship, League One and League Two – with almost 2,000 players from the 72 EFL clubs to choose from when users create their first teams prior to the start of the 2024/25 season.
Former Wycombe striker Adebayo Akinfenwa said: “There have been a lot of fans calling for a fantasy football game in the EFL and, now, here it is. It’s going to be a challenge picking a team from players across the Championship through to League One and League Two, but I’m up for it!
“As we’ve seen with other games, fantasy football gets more people even more interested, excited and knowledgeable about what happens on the pitch over the course of a season.
“The great thing about Fantasy EFL is that there’s something for everyone, whether you’re a casual or a die-hard fan.”
Jay Stansfield transfer rivals emerge as Birmingham City ‘open talks’
Birmingham City have been backed to bring back Jay Stansfield on a permanent transfer, but Cardiff City have emerged as contenders
Cardiff City have emerged as rivals to Birmingham City for striker Jay Stansfield. The Bluebirds, who have already signed Calum Chambers and Chris Willock this summer, are preparing for another year in the Championship and, after sending loanee Karlan Grant back to West Brom, they’re eager to recruit a new forward.
Stansfield, 21, scored 13 goals for Blues last season and the club, despite finding themselves in League One, have been linked with bringing the Fulham forward back to the club on a permanent basis this window.
Cardiff, though, are desperate to add a striker, after last year their top goalscorers only managed six each – one of them was Grant, who as mentioned has since left. BBC Sport Wales add that they’d like to make an attacking addition while they’re away in Austria this week.
