Talking real sports but fantasy teams consisting of those real players. It's something I've gotten into during lockdown and whilst I only play the contests on PaddyPower, and even then only enter the really low-stakes contests (or the occasional free one with cash payout), I'm finding trying to work out the best selection of players/animals within whatever the budget is and then watching them play out really fun.
It's a shame there don't appear to be any really cheap Baseball contests offered as I actually ended up doing reasonably well at the Spring Practise Wiffle Ball games despite knowing very little about either game (cashed in more contests than I didn't). Sadly there also don't seem to be many really low-stakes Nascar events either but I did find one the other month and just managed to cash in it.
Anyways, currently I have 5/6 of my players in a pay tournament through to the final rounds of the US Masters which gives me a chance of cashing if they do well, free entries to both the UFC and Wrestlemania (neither of which I have much of a clue about tbh) and will be entering the usual lowest-tier pay EPL contests (actually managed to cash in both the UCL days and Friday night game this week) and free horseracing ones over the weekend (only winner gets paid so never much chance but you gotta be in it to be in with a chance ain't ya).
I know Yods and a few on here play fantasy Baseball - anybody else play any of these types of things?
edit: eek, the UFC actually wasn't a free entry, it was 25c - I must have been feeling crazy adventurous that day as no doubts my 'team' will get absolutely thrashed lol
