The highly anticipated and brand-new ‘Fantasy EFL’ – the EFL’s first-ever 72-club fantasy football product, in partnership with Genius Sports – is live to play now.

Fantasy EFL will feature players from across all three of the EFL’s divisions – the Championship, League One and League Two – with almost 2,000 players from the 72 EFL Clubs to choose from when users create their first teams prior to the start of the 2024/25 season.

It's a mess. They've only just removed Alfie May as a Charlton player since this morning and  I'm currently debating whether or not to put our newest addition P.233 in the midfield. I've signed up because they're giving away two free season tickets and it's free but bloody hell it's bad

I've done it but I'm really not impressed. Only 7 players allowed , transfers that aren't up to date , it's an absolute mess.

The ‘game’ seems to have been made by someone with poor knowledge of both website creation and football alike.

My Fantasy Football involves Charlton getting to the 90th minute at 2-0, and it not ending 2-2

We’re going to look very silly for selling Alfie May.

My son is doing it and trying to talk me into doing this (I haven’t done a fantasy comp for at least 15 years).

Are others doing it? It’s there a Charlton, or CL mini league?

I tried it and the app didn’t work . Loads of people have had problems with it and have given up

Just thought I'd check as I remembered I had Mitchell and May in my team aaaaaand it looks like the team i picked wiped itself, so that's that can get in the bin for the year
