Welcome to your source for tracking the 2020-2021 season of the WWE Fantasy League here at Smark Out Moment!
Who doesn't enjoy some friendly competition? Tony Mango, Callum Wiggins, Robert DeFelice and Stephen Wago are looking to battle their way to victory in the return of the WWE Fantasy League.
Think of this as any typical Fantasy League – every player is looking to pick the team of WWE superstars that is going to earn them the most points between SummerSlam 2020 and WrestleMania 37, with points earned for victories and championship success, and lost for defeats, DQs and unsuccessful title defenses.
With 4 teams of 8 superstars drafted from across the Raw, SmackDown and NXT rosters, points will be won and lost on the journey to crowning this season's champion, and to secure bragging rights among the Smack Talk crew.
THE RULES
These are the rules that we will be abiding by for this season of the Fantasy League in relation to how the teams are drafted, how trades are made, and how points are scored. If you're keen on creating your own Fantasy League among friends, feel free to use our rules as your guide.
LEAGUE / DRAFT / TRADE RULES
- Teams consist of 8 superstars
- Wrestlers can only be selected from the Raw, SmackDown or NXT rosters
- Both male and female superstars are eligible
- Tag teams, factions and stables are NOT drafted as units. Each superstar must be picked individually.
- Points are only scored for results on pay-per-views and episodes of Raw, SmackDown and NXT. Anything that happens on Main Event, 205 Live, NXT UK, etc. doesn't count
- Snake-style draft
- 1 trade can be made per week by each participant. These can be traded between teams or from the Free Agent Pool
- First dibs on trades will depend on when someone made their last trade. The least recent trader will go first and so on.
To add a bit more jeopardy into the mix, there are also special rules based on our success in every pay-per-view predictions contest:
- The winner of a single PPV predictions contest gets an extra Free Agent trade that they can perform at any time until the following PPV. If that extra trade is not used by the next PPV, it is voided
- If someone wins 2 consecutive PPV predictions, they earn the right to force an opponent to trade one of their team for a Free Agent. The traded-in superstar immediately becomes available to be drafted by everyone else
- If someone wins 3 consecutive PPV predictions, they earn the right to force a trade between members of 2 teams. This could involve their own team, or they could force a trade between 2 opposing teams
- In case of a tie in PPV predictions, the winner is determined by a prediction of the length of one of the matches on the card, with the guess closest to the actual time winning
