The fantasy world cup competition organised by train ticket seller RedSpottedHanky begins this evening – as well as winning prizes, every participant could walk away with up to £15 of RSH loyalty points.

Unlike some of their other games (e.g. Fantasy Formula 1) the amount you could win depends not only upon how many points you earn in the game – but also how many points you lose – yes, your goal keeper failing to save ball will cost you game points.

If like me you know nothing about football, then I would not try to overly manage your team selection during the competition – but I will certainly pop in to remove players as their countries get eliminated from the competition (although there is a limit to how many players you can have from one country).

First thing you need to do is create a team:

You have a 100 ‘*’ credits to spend on your players, and you can register for the game at: http://fantasyfootball.games-redspottedhanky.com/

If you want a sense of achievement you are welcome to join the UKpoints mini-league:

I’m going keep my main efforts on the Fantasy F1 – first quarter points posted last week, along with the £9 from doing the fantasy UK football – which was another pot luck entry from me.
