The Fantasy Football

Everybody thinks they have the potential to be a football manager. We can all pick a better team and our experience from the stands or sofa is more than enough to run a winning team. The chance is here to prove it with the Etisalat Pro League's Fantasy Football. The new year brings armchair coaches the chance to share more than an opinion  by picking your best match day 11. You get a budget and with it you can purchase players from the Pro League teams. Each week your points are totaled up as we look for the title of Fantasy Football Manager for the the Etisalat Pro League.  It’s not quite as simple as buying 11 Asamoah Gyan's then sitting back whilst watching the goals and trophies flow. It requires a little more knowledge and effort but it will be a great way to get involved with the Pro League in the UAE. I will be picking my team and posting my flailing attempts as a football coach here in this column. The details of how to enter will be on the website and it will be your first attempt at armchair management UAE style, maybe it should be called Majalis management.
