London, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/11/2014 -- EPL fans can now participate in a new daily/weekly fantasy football (soccer) game unveiled by FanXT, a leading provider of fantasy games
Fans of the English Premier League (EPL) have been availed a unique opportunity to play a new fantasy football game and potentially win great prizes. This is thanks to a new game unveiled by FanXT (http://www.fanxt.com), the official fantasy football provider for 5 football leagues.
The new game runs on the basic principles of the traditional fantasy football based on the EPL. Users create fantasy teams composed of current players in the EPL and score points from their performances in actual EPL matches. However, rather than playing one fantasy football game for the whole season, users can opt to participate in weekly contests. These contests run for one game week which ends after the weekend’s matches. As such, rather than waiting through an entire full season for a payout, users are able to win cash prizes immediately the game week ends.
The daily fantasy sport is already experiencing a massive boom in the U.S. Two major companies are driving the growth i.e. DraftKings and Fanduel. DraftKings which launched merely two years ago already has over a million users. Fanduel’s revenue projection for this year is $40 million.
In the UK, the daily fantasy sport is still not very prevalent. The common format is the traditional season long format which is huge, thanks to the popularity of the EPL. The Fantasy Premier League which is hosted in the official website of the EPL has over 3 million subscribers. Given the wide interest in fantasy football, the introduction of FanXT’s daily/weekly format will offer fans a fresher dimension.
FanXT’s fantasy football game operates as follows. Each user enters a daily or weekly contest in which they are assigned a fixed budget. Using this budget, they are supposed to buy 15 EPL players. Each player has a market value based on their performance. During an EPL game day, users can access the contest page and view both the live scores and the real-time updates of their points. At the end of the game week, those with the highest points win cash prizes. The weekly format, and prompt cash payments make this format both exciting and engaging to the user.
FanXT’s game is available both for free and in paid contests. Those who desire to simply enjoy the thrill of fantasy EPL can do so by playing free games. Those who desire to win prizes can enter contests priced at USD2, USD5 or USD10. Basically, there is something for everyone. The free games can be the perfect platform for a novice to hone their skill before they invade the paid competitions. Basically, FanXT’s new game is an opportunity which no fan of fantasy football should miss out on.
