Some people here play Splinterlands. A few more people here are familiar with how Splinterlands works, even if they don't play.
Some people here are also sports fans, and I'm guessing some of you have done fantasy sports at some point in your lives. Fantasy baseball, fantasy football (NFL or NCAA), fantasy footbal (FIFA, Rabona, etc.), fantasy basketball, fantasy hockey (NHL, KHL, Eurpean Leagues)-- you get the idea.
~~~~~ What if there was Fantasy Splinterlands? ~~~~~
Given how popular NFL-style fantasy football is, and given the popularity of Splinterlands, all I saw were $$$ when this idea occurred to me.
How would this even work? Does this seem feasible? Does this look like something Splinterlands players could get into? Could this become an added feature to the game?

I don't understand how it would work. I think the fantasy stuff works more because you can already rent or own the cards in your deck.

For Splinterlands, there appear to be 2 ways we could implement the Fantasy aspect:
Splinterlands itself is played as normal. Battles and card rentals are done as usual. The Fantasy aspect is an added layer to gain the interest of the non-player. This is what makes it big for the NFL.

I LOVE fantasy sports and I've been talking to some people about adding it to Hive.
But I don't know how it would work with Splinterlands... do you have any starting point to elaborate on?
It could be an interesting idea and maybe I'm just not familiar enough with Splinterlands to see how it would work!

soccer). Is that not sort of a fantasy sports game?Well there is @rabona for fútbol (we Yanks call it

I thought Rabona was more of a simulator where you build your team and add enhancements like better contracts and facilities. That's not the same as fantasy sports where we make a lineup based on real players and follow their stats throughout the season.

Yea, Rabona is more like that indeed

The little that I know about Rabona I learned from commnets by you and @forexborkr.

It's a good one, but it's more on the management side of things.
I'm thinking more in the terms of a traditional fantasy league, where you draft "real" players to your team and you get points according to how they perform in real life.

Exactly-- add that layer to Splinterlands.

You have a better idea how it would work in Splinterlands than I do.
I have no starting point for this. When it comes to Splinterlands, I'm blind as a bat.

Ah oka, I read your reply to someone else and it could work
I think that out of the 2 ways you mentioned, the 2nd one would be better for a fantasy format because players are unique while cards can have duplicates. You still could use cards and maybe get the average of their performance on all battles on a given week, but I think it would work better with players

So in theory if a Splinterlands Players' Draft were held someone could have a team consisting of @taskmaster4450le, @kevinnag58, @jfang003, @finguru, @forexbrokr, and @tfranzini.

Ooh I would never draft me LOL
But jokes aside, yea, it would be something along those lines
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Fantasy Splinterlands is an idea which makes sense.That was just an example. The draft pool-- for players willing to participate-- would be large. @splinterlands would be able to say if
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well, Splinterlands is actually already in the process of implementing something like that. You will be able to use your SPS to bet on or own or back (not sure how they're doing it yet) certain players and then you may be paid on how they do?
It's something like that. I haven't read into it very much yet, but it's coming... :-)

yes i would also like to know a little more about the subject and how to do.
