FAN-TASY Das Stürmer-Rennen zur 99 Drafte für die Saison genau einen Stürmer aus der 1. Liga. Jedes Tor bringt dich näher an die 99. Wer sie zuerst erreicht, gewinnt. Der Clou: Starke Knipser starten niedrig, Underdogs hoch — jeder hat eine echte Chance auf die 99. So spielst du • Gründe eine Liga und lad deine Leute per Code ein — oder tritt einer bestehenden bei. • Bis zu 18 Spieler. Jeder Stürmer wird nur einmal vergeben. • Die Draft-Reihenfolge wird ausgelost, dann wählt ihr der Reihe nach. • Ab dem ersten Spieltag läuft die Tabelle live. Am Saisonende steht der Gewinner fest. Klassisch oder mit Karten Beim Gründen entscheidet ihr einmal für die ganze Saison: Klassisch: Pur auf Tore. Kein Schnickschnack. Nur du, dein Stürmer und die Jagd auf die 99. Mit Karten: Fünf Aktionskarten pushen dich — Auswärtstore zählen doppelt, späte Treffer bringen Extra-Punkte, was auch immer. Drei Bremser sind Pflicht und müssen clever gesetzt werden. Pro Spieltag nur eine Karte. Einmal gespielt, ist sie weg. Kein Zurück. Für wen? Für alle, die ein neues Fantasy-Erlebnis für die neue Saison suchen — Kollegen, Verein, Freundeskreis. Eine Liga ist in einer Minute erstellt. Fan-Tasy ist kostenlos. Kein Echtgeld, keine In-App-Käufe, keine Abos. Nur Fußball, dein Stürmer und die 99. Unabhängig Fan-Tasy ist ein unabhängiges Spiel. Es wird von Vereinen, Spielern, Ligen oder Verbänden weder betrieben noch unterstützt oder autorisiert. Die App verwendet keine Wappen, Logos oder Vereinsnamen; sie nennt Städte und Spielernamen und verarbeitet öffentlich bekannte Spielergebnisse.
