The start of the 2016-17 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague is just around the corner and with it returns the favorite contest of the world’s most passionate basketball fans: Euroleague Fantasy Challenge. Now in its 13th edition, the fantasy companion to Europe’s best basketball competition has engaged hundreds of thousands of players over the years by letting them manage their own Turkish Airlines EuroLeague teams.
The EuroLeague’s new format and expanded regular season means a longer and more-exciting EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge, too, with more prizes than ever before! As always, the grand prize gives the winner and a friend the ultimate Turkish Airlines EuroLeague experience as special guests of Euroleague Basketball at the 2017 Final Four, including: four nights at the organization hotel, two VIP tickets to the games and the opportunity to celebrate on court with the new champions – a truly unique package!
EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge couldn’t be easier to play. Create your own teams – as many as 15 per registered user – by choosing 10 players from a budget of 500 credits, with unlimited trades before opening night. Fantasy teams score points based on the actual statistical production of their players in each round’s Turkish Airlines EuroLeague games. Users manage their teams with the sole restriction being a limit of three trades between rounds throughout the regular season. For the playoffs, unlimited trades return until the season winners are decided!
Users may also form private leagues and promote them on social media to enjoy Euroleague Fantasy Challenge with as many friends, family members and other basketball lovers as possible! Don’t forget to use the hashtag #EuroLeagueFantasy to talk about the game on social media all season long!
