ICO WATCH - Footballcoin (XFC) – The Evolution of Fantasy Football League & Football Manager - Basically, What we've all been Waiting For!! :)
Fantasy League football is one of the most popular games out there at present, pretty much everybody I know is involved. It’s all great fun, but what if you could get actual rewards for beating your mates at it other than just a feeling of extreme smugness and satisfaction!?
Footballcoin, otherwise known as ‘XFC’, being the name of the token used within the platform, aims to help players to just that but with even more involvement and even more competitiveness. I always knew that this kind of game has the potential to grow into something more and cryptocurrency integration is probably the best thing that could happen in this domain as it gives players the ability to compete against each other for real world profits.
Over the years players have built up their knowledge and expertise in this game, trying to fine tune their game to beat all their mates, proving that they are indeed the king of fantasy football and know what they’re talking about. Everyone wants to be able to showcase their football expertise to their mates and onlookers down the local pub. But now players can also brag about the profits they’ve made with their on-point strategy and pinpoint accuracy.
During April 2017, Footballcoin did their Soft Launch which included the Leagues in the countries England, Spain & Italy. Which include the Premier League, La Liga in Spain and Serie A in Italy. Quite the kick-off in terms of popular league teams, which was more than enough for players to get their boots into.
However, this is just the beginning of what is on the horizon, in August 2017, Footballcoin will be showcasing their Global Launch which will see three more Leagues added to the platform, and Leagues worth waiting for. These include Germany, France and UEFA Champions League!! The top tier League that is pretty much a must for any Football Fanatic.
FootballCoin is a game that is designed to very user friendly where pretty much anybody can create an account and start playing with the Fantasy Sports games. Creating your own account on FootballCoin only takes a few simple steps and there is no charge required to set up your account and best of all, there are no subscription fees.
What I like about this whole platform is the way it is set up as a contest will specify the exact parameters of when the game will begin and for how long (e.g. “Saturday only”, “Whole Matchday”) with dates that are set, so what you are looking forward to is an actual event where you and many others will be participating against one another and not just a game where you just log in and start playing, although there is this option if the user wants to do this.
If there is one sector can bring blockchain and crypto mainstream, Football is up there at the top of the list as most of the world is football crazy. Having a platform available where people can get involved and challenge people from all over the world as well as their friends and family will appeal to people from all walks of life and across a very wide spectrum of age ranges, from young to old. The potential for such a platform is immense.
Footballcoin could be seen as the natural progression from what we have out there today, games such as football manager and fantasy football league. What Footballcoin offers is the best of both games where players can interact in an exciting and live environment with other players, not just a computer program and not just a few of their friends, players can compete with people from all over the globe! And for real prizes that have real world value, not just winning the crown and seeing your name at the top of a scoreboard.
Players can actually make profit from doing something that they love, by playing football.
Of course, players need not play for money, in fact, players have the option to play for fun too. There are many different elements that tare incorporated into the game where players can learn to develop their own strategies and become more efficient.
What’s more is the amount of flexibility the players have, where the player can choose their entry fee, prize pay-out and duration, whether it be a single day, matchday etc. The player can also choose if they want to play a friend or an existing, official or private, contest.
What Footballcoin is doing is setting the precedent of what we can expect to see shape the future of such games, where people from all over the world can interact and compete with each other.
Footballcoin, also having the name of XFCCOIN operates using the blockchain infrastructure of Bitcoin.
With the popularity of such similar games, I can't see it being too long before this platform begins to attract the users from other such platforms simply because it offers so much more in terms of user experience and the ability to use your skills and knowledge to profit and not just for fun, although I can imagine it also being a blast playing the games it has to offer and with the level of detail and customisation available.
As the popularity grows, the native token used in the platform which enables the user to buy and use the platform as well as bet wagers against other players, will gradually grow in value.So this might be a good speculative bet as I can see this taking a decent market share of whats already out there.
Ultimately, this is the grown-up version of Fantasy Football Leauge, and I see players migrating to this platform in their droves.
