Biz Fantasy Premier League returns

Malawi’s leading digital marketing agency, Biz Malawi has sponsored the Biz Malawi Fantasy League to the tune of K1 million.

The multi-award-winning agency launched the fantasy league bonanza last year at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic to encourage the youth to be interactive.

In an interview yesterday, Biz Malawi founder Tarang Makhecha said they decided to continue with the idea following enquiries they were receiving from the public.

He said: “As you know last year, we launched this initiative and it attracted huge public interest with over 800 young Malawians taking part and when the season ended in May this year, we rewarded the winner who was from Lilongwe.

“So, when this season was about to kick-off, we were flooded with enquiries if the initiative was continuing and we made the decision to continue. So, this year  we are again committing a prize money of K1 million to whoever emerges winner.”

Fantasy Premier League is a game that casts you in the role of a fantasy manager of Premier League players. As a manager, you must pick a squad of 15 players from the 2022/23 Premier League, who score points for your team based on their performances for their clubs in actual PL matches every week.

At the end of the season, the team with the highest number of points will win the bonanza.

“Already over 100 people have joined with just one round of games played and the number is expected to rise before this coming weekend’s games,” said Makhecha.

Pachalo Nzugu, who is one of the young players in the bonanza, said he was excited that the bonanza is back and hopes that he will win.
