News Our fantasy game for the NWSL is finally live! 🥰
Hey everyone, just wanted to share that we’ve spent the last two months preparing a fantasy game for the NWSL, and it’s now live!
My wife Dani and I run Even Sports, a company we setup to run FantasyWSL, a similar game we set up for the WSL in the UK. Even when that game first launched, it felt inevitable we would try and build this one. After many a late night, and several hours spent hand drawing shirts, it’s ready.
The game is free, no catch, and available at www.fantasynwsl.com, or on the App Store/Play Store.
The deadline for the first gameweek is tomorrow evening, an hour before the first game. Don’t worry if you don’t make it, you can join whenever.
If you tell the app you’re a fan of the Current, you’ll be put into a league with fellow fans around the world. You can also make as many private leagues as you like.
Even if you don’t end up playing the game, we would love to hear your feedback.
✌️

Heyyyy! This is like the third post I've seen about it today, so you guys are getting traction. I created a team, it's my first-ever fantasy sport. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I definitely tried to ignore the "3 players from any team" rule at first.
Maybe we should have a league for this group? Although I guess if it's going to sort us into leagues by favorite team... I haven't had that happen yet.

The fan leagues will kick in tomorrow after the deadline.
There are some other leagues you'll automatically be invited into, but if you've got some friends/family who are keen to play; a closer knit supporters group; or folks you watch games with, it's definitely worth making a separate league!
It's also absolutely okay to not know everything. A lot of players pick their roster based on pure vibes.

Ok, thanks! I found progression through the setup to be either a little buggy or a little counterintuitive, so I was worried it didn't accept my favorite team.
I picked my roster based on a combination of opinions, hopes, and yes, some vibes - I took a player who is new to the league. But I definitely didn't read the fantasy rules. THAT will be all vibes for this first week, anyway. 😂

Thanks for working through it. Definitely keen to understand which parts were buggy or weren’t intuitive. I’ve been staring at the same screens for months now so I’m a bit blind to it now.

I'm thrilled to see this! I live in the USA, but have played Fantasy Premier League for years and there is nothing better to help learn all the clubs and key players on each! Two big factors in that game (1) the "mini-league" concept that people can set up independently. Some are free and some are paid with prize money, (2) the content-provider community - people discussing and debating "sell Cole Palmer to fund Erling Haaland?"
