Fantasy EFL: First fantasy football product for English Football League launches

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.

The game’s hybrid format sees users challenged to select seven players from across the three divisions, plus two clubs to win for extra points, in every gameweek. Managers can select their seven-player squads from a variety of formations, including

Gameweeks run Thursday to Wednesday and managers can pick a new squad every gameweek, with unlimited player transfers from week to week. Players can also be switched out right up until the moment their match kicks off.

A captain can be nominated to score double points, plus a vice-captain every gameweek. A ‘Max Captain’ chip will also be available twice per season, for managers to gain double points on the player in their squad who scores highest.

There is no cap on how many times a manager can select a player, however managers will only be able to select the same EFL club up to five times a season.

This unique twist on fantasy football, with extra points for EFL clubs that managers select per gameweek, will bring new opportunities for users to score points and climb the public rankings on a weekly basis.

Managers can enter private leagues with their friends or play in public leagues against other managers in the Fantasy EFL community. Club leagues will be available for all 72 EFL clubs, as well as a global league with automatic entry upon sign-up for participants.
