The Betfred Super League Fantasy Game is back for 2025! Have you signed up to play yet?

Allan was our Betfred Super League’s Fantasy League champion last season...and he is ready to go again in 2025!

Let's take a look at his Top 3 Tips for Fantasy following his recent success:

Tip 1: Never go heavy on the bench!

With a maximum of 2.1 million to spend, Fantasy players need to be smart on their squad choices…

“You always find one or two players at a decent price – I think last year I chose Elie El-Zakhem (Castleford Tigers) at 50k, who still featured in his side regularly and earned points.

“This just enables you to load up on players such as Matt Dufty, George Williams and Mikey Lewis as well,” explained Allan.

Tip 2: Always get your team in on time!

2025 sees a brand-new change to the transfer deadline – fans now have until 6pm on Thursday!

This allows Fantasy players to see the 21-player squads for Thursday, Friday and Saturday Super League fixtures each weekend - which could influence any squad-making decisions or changes...

Tip 3 : Don’t make all your transfers in the first week!

Fantasy players have four transfers per calendar month (from February to September) available to replace any under-performing or injured players with in-form players. 

“You don’t want to be in a position where all your transfers have gone after week one,” Allan advised. "Use them wisely!"

Teams will be entered into the overall Betfred Super League Fantasy League with monthly and annual prizes up for grabs including tickets to major Rugby League events and SuperLeague+ passes.
