Welcome to your source for tracking the 2021-2022 season of the WWE Fantasy League here at Smark Out Moment!
Who doesn't enjoy some friendly competition? Tony Mango, Callum Wiggins and Robert DeFelice 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 WrestleMania Backlash 2021 and WrestleMania 38, with points earned for victories and championship success, and lost for defeats, DQs and unsuccessful title defenses.
With 3 teams of 12 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 12 superstars, with 6 members of your "active" weekly roster
- These 12 superstars will be your team for the duration between each WWE PPV
- Superstars can only be in your active roster for a maximum of 2 consecutive weeks before they must be rested for a week
- The first draft pick is the Team Captain, who cannot be stolen or removed from a team unless the player that drafted them chooses to drop them
- 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
- Trades only occur following the WWE PPVs (not NXT TakeOvers)
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 will have the chance to make up to 3 trades from their current 12 superstars for people in Free Agency. Second place in the contest can make 2 trades, while last place can only make 1 trade.
- If someone wins 2 consecutive PPV predictions, they can force a member of an opponent's team to become a Free Agent. The chosen superstar is frozen from being drafted until the next WWE PPV. The person who loses a team member will immediately draft a replacement. The only safe team members are the Team Captains.
- If someone wins 3 consecutive PPV predictions, they earn the right to trade one of their team members for an opponent's. Again, only Team Captains are safe from being traded.
- 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.
