Fans of the EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge are in for a treat heading into the 2024-25 season. Several improvements have been made to the overall experience, which should bring fantasy managers even closer to the action.
On Wednesday, September 4, the official fantasy game of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague goes live. That gives fantasy managers just under a month to get their team – or teams – ready ahead of the 2024-25 EuroLeague season getting underway on Thursday, October 3.
For those familiar with the EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge, the basic will remain the same. Fantasy managers get 100 credits per team to build a squad of four guards, four forwards, two centers and one head coach. Teams will earn points each round based on the performances of their players in the actual Turkish Airlines EuroLeague games in that round. Managers can make a limited number of player swaps after each round. And the best teams are eligible to win prizes!
Last year saw the introduction of a new stats page and unlimited player swaps after certain rounds. Fantasy managers can make unlimited alterations to their rosters during the postseason, too, starting with the Play-In Showdown before continuing through the playoffs and Final Four.
So what is new for the 2024-25 season? The app and website have been given a makeover, offering an updated look and feel that is in line with the thrills and spills of the EuroLeague season. There has been an adjustment made to trades, too. Ahead of each round, excluding those where unlimited trades are available, fantasy managers can either trade four players and retain their manager, or they can trade three players and change their manager.
There’s more. Players whose teams had their game postponed will no longer have their score doubled if they are selected as the captain; this avoids a situation where a fantasy manager can guarantee a certain number of points from that player. There are also new dates for unlimited trades:
After Round 4: October 19-23
After Round 10: November 16-20
After Round 17: December 21-26
After Round 22: January 18-23
After Round 26: February 8-27
Last but not least, EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge managers can converse with one another for the first time by joining a WhatsApp or Telegram group called League Chat, with the administrator able to add the link for both private and public leagues.
The list of available prizes for the 2024-25 season includes tickets to games, official EuroLeague jerseys and basketballs, subscriptions to EuroLeague TV and more, highlighted by the grand prize: a VIP Package for the winner and a friend to attend the 2025 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four, including flights, four hotel nights and VIP tickets.
Registration opens soon, so get ready to compete against over one hundred thousand basketball fans across the world and prove you have what it takes to succeed in the EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge.
