The unbridled 'boom' of fantasy games: from competing with friends to celebrating the rival's goals

Fantasy games have been growing in popularity in recent years, combining the passion for football with interaction between friends. The format is simple: with a limited budget, players must choose a team of 11 players, receiving points based on the real performance of those athletes. Among all the available modalities, fantasy games accumulate more than 8 million active players. Football is the big draw of these games, although there are also versions for other sports such as cycling and basketball.
