What is a private fantasy league?

A fantasy league that only your members can join, hosted on your own hub and branded as yours. Members draft real players into squads, and each player sits in only one squad.

What is the difference between a draft league and a salary cap game?

In a salary cap game every player has a price and everyone can pick the same star within a budget. In a draft league members take turns to pick, and a player belongs to one member once picked.

Which plans include fantasy?

Fantasy is not open yet. When it opens, it will be included on Starter, Growth, Pro, Scale and Enterprise. It will not be part of Free. How many fantasy competitions a hub can hold depends on the plan, and the full feature matrix is on the pricing page.

Can I run a fantasy league for the Six Nations or another sport?

Not yet. The Six Nations and Formula 1 run on Fanzava as predictor leagues today. A Formula 1 garage is planned for the first fantasy release; the Six Nations is not. The waitlist covers every fantasy league.

Can I run an auction draft?

Not yet. Fantasy is not open, and which draft formats a league can choose will be confirmed when it opens.

Can I run a keeper or dynasty league?

Not yet. Keeper and dynasty rules are not part of the first fantasy release, so a league will start each season with a new draft.

Are scores and live matchups switched on?

No. Nothing in fantasy is open yet. Scoring is not switched on and there are no head-to-head matchups, which is part of why fantasy is a waitlist and not an open signup.

How a private fantasy league runs.

Join the waitlist.

Fantasy is not open yet, so there is nothing to set up today. Join the waitlist and we will be in touch when fantasy can run on your hub.
Members join and name a team.

Each member will join the competition and create their team, with the login they already use on your hub.
Start the draft.

Once at least two teams are in, a hub admin will start the draft and the room will open for every member at once.
Draft night.

Members will pick in turn while a chat runs beside the board. The draft will run one round for every place in the squad, so the squad size you set decides how long the night is.
Players come from the feed.

The player pool will be built from club squad lists in the sports data feed, not a list anyone on your hub types in.
Then run the season.

Members will name a captain, propose and answer trades, and pick up free agents. The league rules will sit on a page every member can read and only a hub admin can change.

Draft league or salary cap game?

Most people meet fantasy football as a salary cap game. A private draft league is a different thing, and it is the one worth hosting for a group.

A salary cap game is public.

Every player has a price, everyone has the same budget, and anyone in the country can pick the same star. The Premier League's own Fantasy Premier League is built around a salary cap in its main game, and it is well run. If you want to play against the whole country, play there.

A draft league is private.

Members take turns to pick, and a player belongs to one squad once picked. Nobody else in your league can own them, which makes every pick a decision about the people in the room.

A private league suits a group.

A workplace, a club, a pub or a group of mates already has a reason to talk to each other every week. A draft league gives that group something of its own to argue about, with its own members and its own brand.

Pick your league.

NFL, NHL and MLB draft leagues

What to look for in a fantasy football platform.

Who owns the members?

On a public fantasy platform your league lives on someone else's site and the members belong to it. On Fanzava the league runs on your hub, under your brand, and the participant data stays in your hub.

Does the draft happen live?

A draft is the best night of the fantasy year because everyone is in the room together. Fanzava's draft room will be live, with a chat beside the board and every pick landing on every screen as it is made.

Does it sit beside your other competitions?

Fantasy on Fanzava runs in the same hub as your predictor leagues and brackets, with the same members and the same login, so one hub holds the whole year.
