So one thing over the years I’ve somehow found myself totally immersed in while in the US is NFL Fantasy Football.
Love it, makes literally every fixture important.
For those who don’t know how it works, you and 7/9 of your pals set up a league (8 or 10 teams total), before the season starts you have a draft where you have 15 rounds to take turns picking a player per round.
Unlike PL fantasy each player is unique to a team so everyone can’t have Salah as captain, only one guy can.
Similarly to PL fantasy youre awarded points for your individual doing things in the game.
Would be awesome if the PL did something similar, any of the other US based folks here play it?

There's a ja606 draft league with a similar idea to this. And head to head matches every week. It's great fun.. when you're winning.

My friends and I use a system called Fantrax for draft fantasy football (Premier League).
It's great because you get points for things other than just goals, assists and clean sheets.
Shots on target
Key Passes (pass that leads to a shot)
Successful Dribbles
and loads more.
I think the system pulls stats from Opta then assigns points.
It makes building a team more interesting as, for example, Adama Traore will have done sod all in Premier League fantasy football but is one of the best players on Fantrax due to all his dribbles and key passes etc.
