And then there was the Swish Swish Fantasy League

Well, let’s stop this teasing. Today, we’re going to tell you what our SSFL (Swish Swish Fantasy League) is about.

First of all, if you really don’t know what a Fantasy League is, here’s a little definition : a fantasy league, or FL, is an online game where you play the role of a franchise owner, fighting against other owners, trying to score points based on the real life performances of basketball players in the flesh and their teams.

We’ll quickly see if you’re a Cheryl Reeve or… Derek Fisher (yes offense) kind of coach 😆

Here are the 5 golden rules of the Swish Swish Fantasy League, which will of course gravitate towards the 2021 WNBA season !

  1. Every Monday (at 12 AM) until Tuesday (also 12 AM), each participant must pick 5 players for the entire week. We gave every single WNBA player a value in dollars (between 1 and 5 $) that will NOT change during the season. All the participants have the same budget (15 $) to build their team.
  2. You can modify your team every week to deal with the injuries and the performances of your players. If you do nothing, your team will automatically stay the same.
  3. To calculate the weekly points you will get, we created a formula based on raw stats for each player during the games (with penalty points for missed shots and turnovers). Two criteria will then slightly ponderate the rating : if the player’s team won or lost the game, and the +/- of the said player. In our opinion, it is a good way to reward or penalize the player’s impact on her team.
  4. SSFL participants will be able to consult the overall standings, but also a weekly ranking if they didn’t join the SSFL on the first week of the season.
  5. There will be a team mode where you’ll be able to play in “crews” of 10 players max.

As you can see, the SSFL is accessible to beginners, but it will clearly help if you’re a die hard WNBA fan who never misses a game. You’ll have to find the players whose performances will be worth way more than the value we gave them at the beginning of the season.

We created the SSFL for two main reasons : having fun between WNBA enthusiasts from all over the globe, and trying to bring more people to watch the WNBA because this league deserves it.

The SSFL is currently functional, but we want to make it as enjoyable as possible (and as sexy as Stephen Curry chewing on his mouthguard). We’ll share a few pictures and screenshots very soon, before the grand opening.

Last but not least : the SSFL will be available in French AND in English. You’ll be able to make new friends around the globe to improve your English – especially the French players because, you know, Belgians are way better at this… – or share some thoughts on our forum.

Stay tuned !
