You do this for all the weeks of the season, rotating opponents each week. At the end you do a championship game between the two players with the best record, tiebreaker is total points scored. You just play a final week, winner takes all. (In case of a tie for the final week you can either do another week or roll the bench as well, whatever you prefer). You can also do a playoffs if desired for larger player counts. You really have the flexibility to do it however you'd like.

So for a game that is fundamentally a dice rolling game I think this game works for what it is. Just like real fantasy football you can gain an advantage in the draft and the midweek, the events keep it interesting so you have to pivot sometimes. I like the variability it offers in setup, for example I think a season where you play each other player once is optimal so it's not too long, but you have options on how you want to set up your season which is a plus.

I'm pretty sure they are using real teams and player names in the game as well. Although they did state that they only have 20 teams in the game (the team synergies were too hard to hit with all 32 players after playtesting). So if you have football fans, even if they aren't huge board gamers, they would probably enjoy this. It's not hard to play, not too long, and not pure luck but has enough luck where anyone could win.

This is also a game that I could see easily benefitting from expansions. It could be something like adding abilities to players, some kind of home field advantage (maybe stadium cards) or anything to spend money on other than just players.

But overall I liked this more than I expected. It's fast, fun and doesn't overstay it's welcome and is something I could play with a crowd usually wouldn't super be interested in. I don't think I want to spend $70 to pick it up but if I saw it cheap enough I would pick it up. Or if someone else owned it I would play. It is luck based so I don't think I'd want to do a super long season or play it a ton, but a short season I think works, as long as I'm not doing it all the time.

Likely to Trend: Neutral to slightly positive
Future: I would play this in the future, if I saw it cheap I might pick it up to play with my friends that are into football but not huge into board games.
Next Game Hint: This game is a co-op where you work together to save something larger than all of you.
