Paymentshield has announced the launch of its Euros 2016 Fantasy Football League for mortgage advisers, to run alongside this year’s football tournament.
The tournament kicks off on 10 June, which gives Paymentshield-registered mortgage advisers the opportunity to pick their dream team of 11 players to compete in the league.
Both directly authorised advisers and advisers of participating networks are invited to join, with cash prizes of £750 for first place, £200 for second place and £100 for third place up for grabs.
Participation in the league isn’t dependent on submissions or any other measure.
Each participant picks their team and can make up to 30 changes throughout the tournament. The champion will be the person with the most points after the final whistle on 10 July.
Advisers are also able to form their own mini-leagues, giving them the option to have inter-office rivalries with their colleagues.
James Watson, sales and marketing director at Paymentshield, said: “We think it’s a great opportunity to celebrate the Euro 2016 tournament by offering Paymentshield-registered advisers a fun competition. The feedback we got after the last World Cup fantasy league was overwhelmingly positive and with lots of football fans thinking they can do a better job than football managers, we wanted to provide another fun opportunity for that theory to be tested.
“It’s great fun and hopefully our entrants are more Mourinho than McLaren. Fingers crossed the Home Nations don’t end up getting knocked out in the first round.”
