What is Sky Fantasy Football Six a Side?
The first thing you need to do to play fantasy football 6 a side is set up an account here. Once you have done that you need to pick your team for this week’s Six a side game. I find it best to wait until the teams have been announced to do this as then you guarantee your players will get maximum points. First, you need to select your sky sports elite player; this player is picked from only four selections. The idea is the elite players are the best two players from each team, and you are only allowed one of these players. You then need to pick five players from the squad; these are the rest of the players excluding the sky sports elite players. The idea is you pick the five players whom you think will score the most points in this weeks six a side game. Once you have picked your players you need to pick your power play period; the power play period is a 15 minute period in which all your player’s scores are doubled this is very important, and you need to get it right. The power play is split into 6 periods the first is 0-15, second is 15-30, third is 30-45, 4th is 45-60, fifth is 60 to 75, and last is 75 to 90, now one thing to note is 30-45 and 75-90 both include the injury time added on at the end of the power play period so if you pick these periods you get an extra few minutes often. Once you have picked all these things for your six a side team you then need to pick the golden goal time; the golden goal time is the minute in which you think the first goal will be scored. This is important to get as close as possible as if two people get the same top score, then the tiebreaker is done on the golden goal time. Once you have done all this you can submit you team and sit back and enjoy the game; you can keep up to date with the live scores of your players in the sky sports six a side match centre.
