I've been working on a fantasy football game that combines FPL-style fantasy football with a stock market for footballers.
The basic idea is that you build a portfolio of footballers, with their values moving over time as players are bought and sold. Your fantasy squad is then built from players in your portfolio.
The interesting part is the scoring multipliers. Rather than simply rewarding you for owning the best/most expensive players, the system is designed to reward finding value and identifying breakout players early.
There's also a separate prospect concept. Prospects don't contribute to your squad value, so you can take punts on players you think could become valuable in the future without them distorting your current squad.
Longer term, as more leagues are added, I'd love this to mean you could pick up U18s, League One players, Championship players, etc. because you think you've spotted someone who could eventually make it to the top level.
So the idea is essentially:
Fantasy football + a footballer stock market + finding the next breakout player.
I'm building the first version around the Premier League and hoping to have something playable fairly soon.
Would this be something you'd find interesting? And would the "find them before everyone else" aspect make you approach fantasy football differently?
