Sky Sports Launch Free Fantasy Football 2011 Game

LONDON, July 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

SkySports are delighted to announce the launch of their new and improved Fantasy Football 2011 game. Having teamed up with GFM to create a brand new Fantasy Football game for the 2011/12 football season, the Sky Sports Fantasy Football game offers fans the chance to choose and manage their own "dream team" and to score points according to the real life performance of selected players.

Completely free and with a compelling £100,000 in prizes, Sky Sports have added a multitude of new features that every player can take advantage of. These new features include live points updates and hassle-free private leagues where Sky Sports can manage your bets absolutely free of charge. With the Sky Sports presenters and pundits playing already, now is the time to join the latest and greatest edition to the fantasy football leagues. Regarding the launch Andrew Evans, Product Manager, Sports Games explains:

"We've made some big steps this season to greatly improve Sky Sports Fantasy Football including loads more ways to win, live points updates and 'Private Leagues +' where we make it as easy as possible for Chairmen to run their own league with friends and colleagues .  Working closely with our colleagues in Sky Sports we've ensured that that new game has all of the hallmarks of a Sky Sport product and with Jeff Stelling fronting the game we're looking forward to a very exciting Fantasy Football season."

Indeed, Sky Sports Fantasy Football promises to be an exciting year, with Premier League clubs getting bigger and better with more money to spend on more prestigious players. This leads to one of the big differences with the game this year; Sky Sports are giving player the chance to create not one, but two teams. The chances of winning just doubled!

After you've chosen your teams, make sure you check the Sky Sports Fantasy Football 2011 page regularly as it as it is constantly updated with player analysis, scores and all manner of reports on the fantasy football 2011 world throughout the premier league season. Completely free to play, set up private leagues with friends and family for some close competition or, for those who fancy a harder challenge, take part in the global fantasy football arena. Best of luck!
