As the 2024/25 season commences, Manchester United supporters have an exciting development to anticipate – the official release of Player Trading Cards, a digital collectible series showcasing the men’s first-team squad. These new digital player cards are available in three rarities; Classic, Rare, and Ultra-Rare, with each featuring hand-drawn designs and player-specific statistics that dynamically update throughout the season as United engages in real-life matches across all competitions.
Supporters will soon have the opportunity to acquire Player Trading Card packs, with a special pre-release exclusive to Devil owners – the original digital collection introduced in 2022, comprising of 7,777 unique characters inspired by United’s history.
The most captivating aspect? The introduction of an entirely new United-specific fantasy football game that enables supporters to utilize their Player Trading Cards to construct their own Fantasy United squad. Ahead of each men’s first-team match, fans must choose five players from their collection, with squad points based on the selected players’ on-pitch contributions such as goals, assists, tackles, and saves.
The Fantasy United game will make its official debut for the Premier League season opener against Fulham, promising an exhilarating experience for all supporters. Moreover, fans can look forward to competing against friends in mini-leagues to add a fun competitive element to the game.
To provide supporters with a preview of what’s in store, footballing influencers will go head-to-head with United legends, as they select their own squads. In a recent showcase, the legendary Bryan Robson assembled a squad for the friendly against Rangers, featuring five players including special versions of Marcus Rashford and Casemiro.
Conversely, fantasy football content creator Ross Dowsett, known as FPL Raptor, also put together his own squad featuring players like Evans, Casemiro, and Rashford, eagerly anticipating this exciting new game.
As the excitement mounts and supporters eagerly await the game’s launch, the stage is set for an exciting and engaging season ahead. With the promise of interactive and competitive gameplay, the Fantasy United game is poised to elevate the fan experience to new heights.
Amidst this excitement, it’s crucial to note that Manchester United’s officially licensed Digital Collectibles, powered by Tezos, are a form of cryptoasset and have been issued as a collectible item, not an investment. While the thrill of the game is sure to captivate fans, it’s important to exercise caution and be mindful of the risks associated with the purchase and trade of digital collectibles.
As supporters gear up for the upcoming season, the launch of the new United-specific fantasy football game has undeniably added an extra layer of excitement and anticipation. With the ability to build digital player card collections and engage in competitive gameplay, fans are all set to embark on a new and thrilling digital football experience.
