So this means theres no dashboard that we can select out teams from ? why go through all this effort to just select a fantasy team ? where is the fun in this? why don't you create a site that we select our teams from and they get the points there (like supersport does).... I'll pass thank you

I stopped playing in Fantasy Leagues because I end up not watching the beauty of football but just want my team or players to do well. And the idea of wishing Pirates or Sundowns wins is repulsive. KHOSI RISING
