With the International Break still in effect, I’d like to go
local and talk about how vibrant our fantasy football community is here in
Malaysia. Probably the best Facebook page out there dedicated to fantasy
football is “Kaki Fantasy Football” (Links provided below!). This page was
created way back in May 2012. With over 15,000 members it gives you a very good
idea of how active Malaysians are in fantasy football.
The Kaki Fantasy Football members are involved in various fantasy
games, such as our local MyEG Stadium Astro game (both the Premier League and Piala
Malaysia too!), and the official Fantasy
Premier League game (both the Premier League and the Champions League).
Plenty of tournaments are also held through this FB page.
Tournaments like the SK PREMIER LEAGUE, SK LEAGUE H2H TAGTEAM, SKAFCUP2015,
JINGGA ACADEMY FANTASY and even guessing the score competitions like SK-TEKA
SKOR all keep the community active and in touch. Through the efforts of the various
administrators, they have even managed to secure various sponsorships for
prizes. What’s admirable is that they have managed to avoid charging anyone
from entering any tournament, keeping them free while still managing to give
away prizes for these contests. Of course, if there are any potential sponsors
out there, do let them know!
Like other fantasy football forums, blogs or Facebook community
pages, the community helps each other out on a regular basis, with players
posting for help and giving suggestions on a regular basis. For example, for
the MyEG Stadium Astro game, members also share the Euro Codes and Bonus
Transfer Codes in good competitive spirit as they help each other to maximize
point scoring as much as possible.
On another note, most of its members also belong to
international websites, like the Fantasy Football Scout blog and the Starting
11 Forum. Our Malaysian presence is such that our participation has been recognized
internationally. I myself had the honour of being asked to help moderate the Starting
11 Forum, something I have been doing for the past three years or so now.
In any case, it’s very encouraging to see our community
grow.
