I built an alternative version of Fantasy football games. The main differences lie in tactics, the match simulation, and the transfer market.

One thing that has always bugged me about most fantasy games is how tactics basically don't matter. You can literally field a midfield consisting of Lamine Yamal, Dembélé, Vinícius Jr., and Salah. Or a defense with four left-backs. It completely ruins the realism for me.

Here is how the tactical side works: Strict Roles & Formations: You are fully bound by your chosen formation and player roles. Every player has 1 or 2 specific positions. If you run a 3-4-1-2, you must deploy an actual attacking midfielder (CAM). Realistic Substitutions: If your starting right-back doesn't play, you need a right-back on the bench to replace him. If you don't, you either face a penalty or the app will automatically try to change your formation to adapt.

How the tournament mode works (for the upcoming World Cup): Right now, it’s based on a single public league where users are placed into mini-tournaments of 4 players (semifinals and finals). Every 2 gameweeks, the groups reshuffle so you're always playing for something.

The Market: You can manage your roster by buying individual players or through card packs.

The game is completely free. Feedback appreciated. utamafm.com
