Draft a Game of Thrones Fantasy League
There are so many characters, storylines, alliances and events in Game of Thrones that the drama unfolds like the season of your favorite sport. In fact, you can turn the show into a fantasy football-like draft. Here’s how.
The fantasy fantasy league concept (you read that right) for Game of Thrones was originally pioneered by Andrew Nielsen of The Nerdist . Basically, you and your friends take turns recruiting characters to your team, and those characters earn points every week based on what they do on the show. There are points for murder, torture, death, manipulation, and even sex. The winner is the one with the most points at the end of the season. You can do it on paper, on a spreadsheet, or whatever you like.
However, to keep things simple, The Verge put together an online fantasy project for Season 6 using a similar system. All this is happening on the website Fantasizr , is engaged in drawing fantasy that allows you to turn everything into a fantastic project. In fact, if you want to create your own scoring system, you don’t have to use The Verge draft at all. It’s entirely up to you. All you have to do is sign up for a free account, gather friends, and recruit characters before Season 6 premieres on Sunday night . Fantasizr will do the rest automatically.
If you want to get ahead of your enemies-e-friends, Andrew Beveridge and Ji Shan’s Web of Thrones is filled with data on the series’ main players and how they all relate to one another. And for more details, be sure to check out A Song of Ice and Data . There you will find ratings for things like “who is most likely to die next” and “popularity”, as well as maps and stats to help you make carefully considered draft choices. Good luck!
