Advantages: Realistic, you can be in charge of a side

Disadvantages: Limited money

I have played this for the last three years now, and I think it is the best of the newspaper fantasy leagues- they have massive prizes (£10,000 to the winner and £5,000 to the runner-up). They also have prizes, like trips to matches or vouchers to sports stores for getting the most points in a week or month.

I think Fantasy Football is great, because you have got to pick a good side within a ceratin budget, and it certainly puts you in the driving seat- to win you need a solid keeper who does not let in any goals, a solid defence which is water tight, and occasionally scores some goals, a midfield of of creative players and then three attackers who can bang in the goals.

You have also got to be on the look out for bargains in the attack, escpecially from the newly promoted team (Kevin Phillips was a snip last year), and you also need to make sure you save enough money for your attackers.

Overall, it is a very good game, and they have millions who play it each season- i am sure it boosts their sales of the paper as well- over all a great ploy!
