Kicking off a new kind of partner engagement – fantasy style

Football (soccer) is the world’s game and it’s no secret that many of the partners we write about and meet with share a love for this beautiful sport, among other sports. Whether it’s the thrill of a last-minute goal, the excitement of fantasy football strategy, or the camaraderie of friendly competition, football unites many.

With the new Premier League season kicking off on 16th August, we are thrilled to announce the launch of the techpartner.news Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

Why You Should Join

The goal is to bring together football fans in the tech community in a new, fun way. With the Premier League season set to unfold, why not join in the action and play alongside the channel community? Whether you’re a seasoned FPL pro or just looking for a reason to get more into the Premier League, this is your chance to enjoy the beautiful game while competing for bragging rights and exciting prizes.

The FPL League & Podcast

Alongside our league, we’ll be launching the techpartner.news FPL Podcast, where we’ll dive into weekly match analysis, discuss top player picks, and highlight key moments from the season. Plus, we’ll feature partners from the tech channel who also love to play FPL. It’s a great chance to hear from those shaping the industry and connect over something beyond just business.

What’s at Stake?

• Overall Winner: A grand prize awaits the ultimate fantasy manager at the end of the season.
• Manager of the Month: Monthly prizes for the top-performing manager.
• Partner Spotlights: We’ll invite FPL-playing partners to join the podcast for exclusive insights and banter.

Why Now?

As the new season kicks off, the Premier League is set to be one of the most competitive seasons ever, with new talent, big transfers and fresh strategies making it an exciting time to get involved. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to connect with like-minded people from the channel and get your team ready before Gameweek.

This exciting new initiative is headed up by techpartner.news Commercial Director, Steve McDonald (a huge Man City fan and actual Mancunian). Steve's enthusiastic about the tech community and football and he’s keen to see how the channel community competes for the top spot.

The league is a chance for the tech community to connect in a more social setting – sharing banter, building camaraderie, and enjoying a bit of friendly competition outside the usual business conversations.
