About The Fantasy Footballers

The Fantasy Footballers podcast is an award-winning independent fantasy football podcast that records and produces fantasy football content all year long. The show is focused on producing and developing content that is highly accurate, highly entertaining, and of a high production quality.

The show debuted in 2014 and is hosted by Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. As three longtime friends and former tech/gaming professionals, they saw a need for a fresh take in the fantasy football universe, so they hiked up their trousers, combed their beards, and went to work.  

The Fantasy Footballers make it a priority to focus on a holistic approach to fantasy football expertise and advice. Fantasy football is more than stat sheets and excel docs. It’s about strategy, it’s about league formation and communication, it’s about trading strategies and draft day. It’s about winning the mental game, reading between the lines, finding the diamonds in the rough, and mocking your friends while you succeed.

The podcast itself is distributed across a wide range of podcast distributors, including Spotify and Apple. Each episode can also be watched on YouTube. You can also connect with the show on a variety of social media destinations like Twitter and Instagram, with a community on Discord

The show has now been nominated for or won more than 40 industry and podcasting awards, and has become one of the largest sports podcasts in the world.
