There are several names that are currently making waves in the fantasy sports industry. FanTeam happens to be one of them, and it mainly focuses on the European Soccer Leagues. The website is one of the newer ones, but it is growing rapidly as the “daily fantasy sport” trend catches on across the globe.

FanTeam doesn't currently cater to the American market, which means you won't find games related to NFL, MLB, NBA or MLS. However, what you will find are soccer fantasy sports associated with smaller leagues, such as BPL, La Liga, and Bundesliga.

There has been no information to suggest that FanTeam will be broadening its horizons any time soon. So, the American fantasy sports leagues are still a distant thought. As of now, FanTeam is heavily invested in expanding its live tournaments and the amount per prize for all its soccer offerings.

There have been some rumours concerning the inclusion of Poker and Hockey, but rumours are just rumours. FanTeam's success is driven by the fact that European fans are too frustrated with constant injuries and seasonal drafts. Fantasy sports site like FanTeam treats the problem by providing players with a platform that helps them select the best athletes.

That was our brief introduction of FanTeam. Let's start exploring the website.

How it works

Though Norwegian in origin, FanTeam offers multilingual support. Let's see how the site works.

One of the first things you'll note is that the site offers 12 football leagues, namely the England Premier League, Scottish Premiership, Germany Bundesliga, UEFA Champions League, Sweden Allsvenskan & Superettan, Norwegian Tippeligaen & OBOS, Turkey Super Lig, and Finland Veikkausliiga.

The platform is a multi-sport platform, and as stated earlier, it will begin to accommodate other sports. 

FanTeam is fairly easy to use, especially if you're someone who has been playing fantasy football for a while. The concept is simple � you select your players and form a team while adhering to a budget.

You have the tournament selection, which is similar to online poker. So, you have a lobby where you can choose tournament levels according to other properties and buy-in levels.

Score calculation is almost identical to the official fantasy.premierleague.com game. So, if you are used to those rules, FanTeam won't seem strange. For more details on this, visit https://www.fanteam.com/support-center/football-rules.

As for the pricing of players, FanTeam follows a dynamic approach. The price for each player changes in accordance with who the opponent is. So, if Arsenal is playing at home, their pricing would be very different compared to when they're playing away from home. What that means is a player's price can go up if they're playing against an easy opponent, but go down when the opponent is a better player.

A third party called Oddsmodel AS sets the prices and also, creates the live events.

How to set it up

Choosing your tournament

Choosing your tournament on FanTeam is fairly simple. The site offers a very slick and usable layout that makes the process of picking your game extremely easy. There are 17 leagues to choose from, including the La Liga, Serie A and Premier League.

You have the option of being able to choose an entire season for play, or you can choose to play game by game.

Picking teams

Like most DFS sites, FanTeam places a limit on how much you can spend on drafting players. There's a budget that you have to follow. This is nothing new, and most DFS players are used to it. These limits exist for a reason � to help level the field and ensure that one customer doesn't hog all the good ones. Also, it forces customers to be creative in the team selection.

Now, picking teams isn't a hard task on FanTeam. You have in-depth player statistics to guide you and help you make a decision.

Creating a tournament

At FanTeam, things are flexible. The process of creating your own team is a cakewalk. It doesn't matter what you prefer, international championships or odd European tournaments, there is something for everyone here. All you have to do is pick what you like.

There is no standard formation limit either. You have choices such as 6-a-side, a flexi-six, a flexi-five, and 5-a-side.

You can also design custom tournaments that go over one or more game weeks. You can even choose to make them public or private.

Other offerings

One of the best features about FanTeam is the 24x7 support team. They are extremely helpful, especially if you're confused about something. You can get help at any point in time, whether it's in the middle of the night or during the day. The customer service representatives are very polite and helpful.

Also, FanTeam stands out for its multiple entry options. What this means is that you can pick your best performing players and enter them into the same event more than once. So, if you have a good team on your side, you can leverage them to secure as many wins as possible.

The FanTeam search tool is also quite comprehensive, allowing users to carry out filtered searches. This means you can look for specific tournaments and choose them based on whether or not they suit you. This is a good feature to boast considering the many changes that are planned by FanTeam for the future.

Prizes on offer

It's not exactly a mystery that bonuses and promotions serve as excellent incentives to draw in people. FanTeam is well aware of this fact. That's exactly why the site offers a 200% bonus on deposits of 10€ or higher. In fact, it applies to a maximum of 500€, which is brilliant.

The best part about this promotion is that it isn't exclusive to new customers. FanTeam revives the promotion every now and then, making it available. The goal of the approach is to ensure that fans stay loyal to the website.

You also have the opportunity to acquire free rolls for any week. Apart from that, players playing for the first time are invited to participate in the competition for free. This is an excellent way to rope in new customers and make them experience daily fantasy sports.

Now, this is a great feature. However, FanTeam's variety of free tournaments aren't as great as what you find on other DFS sites. But this isn't a major issue because the fee for paid tournaments isn't exorbitant.

Pros and cons

In conclusion, we thought FanTeam was professional, slick and very usable. There are plenty of football leagues to choose from, which is the point of a DFS site. The exclusivity towards soccer makes it a perfect DFS for the global market.

However, there are a few cons we noticed. For starters, there are only three sports to choose from, and that needs to change. Then, the community is small, which can end up being boring after a point. Lastly, there are very few free games, which newcomers might find annoying.

So, there you have it. Our brief review on FanTeam. Hopefully, this will keep you informed for the time being. However, for a more detailed report, we suggest you check the site out for yourself.
