We may have waved farewell to Euro 2012 just less than a week ago but already Fantasy managers can start to plan for the domestic season ahead, with the news that the official Sky Sports game is now open for business.

The first Fantasy game released for the 2012/13 season, there is £100,000 in prizes to be won in this free-to-enter competition, with a cool £25K handed out to the winner. With Sky quick out the blocks on the back of today’s updated tv fixture list, rival competitions are likely not to be too far behind, forging a sense of anticipation amongst the community as we await the opening of the upcoming Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game.

Already, we’re looking over the Sky game and weighing it up for inclusion amongst our official Scout Leagues – for now, this is just a heads-up but stay tuned…

        Yeah,i'll have a look at the pre season and then decide but marin could actually be worth the punt for the first few gameweek's i reckon . If dempsey is off, petric could be a good shout ?

    anyone else thinking this Chelsea DGW has thrown a spanner in some GW1 works? We are likely to captain a Chelsea player for GW1 now, whereas without it most of us would probably have captained Aguero or Silva.

      Something completely new, which is why a lot of the defenders this year are of a higher price.

      Also responding to questons asked peviously about the prices being similar, because the scoring is different to the FPL e.g 4 points for a goal regardless of your position, strikers tend to be more expensive than midfielders.
