| HE’S HAVING A NIGHTMARE! |
As football fans we’ve all experienced that feeling of exasperation when your star striker misses a sitter, puts a penalty past the post or just goes missing for 90 minutes. The sudden onset of desperation when your centre back nods the ball over your ‘keeper into his own net, and the utter deflation when your captain is sent off for a silly second yellow just when it looks like your team’s getting back into the match.
Well now you can turn these Nightmare events to your advantage... play Nightmare Soccer now! |
| WHAT’S IT ABOUT? |
| Nightmare Soccer challenges you to pick the worst team possible from the Premier League. Pick your selection of unlikely lads to make up your Nightmare Squad - then sit back and watch them perform... disastrously, you hope! You gain points from your players’ misfortunes - if your forwards can’t score, they’ll be doing well in Nightmare Soccer. If your goalkeeper is conceding lots of goals, he’ll be a Nightmare star too. It’s all quite simple - the worse your Nightmare Boys perform, the more points they get. So every time one of your players ‘has a Nightmare’ you can look forward to a successful week in Nightmare Soccer. |
| BUILD YOUR UNIQUE NIGHTMARE SQUAD IN THE PLAYER AUCTIONS |
Did you ever play a fantasy football game, have an amazing week then find out your best mate’s got all the same players that did so well for you? Would Harry Kane have been so effective last season if he was playing for 13 teams each week, as he was in the fantasy mini league I took part in? When you enter Nightmare Soccer your team is allocated into a division with a maximum of 12 teams and we start the season with a bidding war, the gloves come off as you fight it out for the players you want. Safe in the knowledge no-one else in your division has any of your players, you really can enjoy your Saturday night on that magical day when one of your Nightmare boys misses a penalty, scores an own goal and gets sent off.
Once the season starts, you can change your team whenever you want, but you will only be able to buy players who are not already playing for another Nightmare Team in your division. A new signing starts playing for you from the start of the next set of Premier League matches - so if you buy a player once a Match Week’s set of fixtures is already under way, he won't score any points for your Nightmare Squad until the next set of matches. |
| PROMOTION, RELEGATION, THE CUP… EVEN THE CHAMPIONS’ LEAGUE |
Because your team competes in a realistic size division, Nightmare Soccer gives you the extra challenges of aiming for promotion, to avoid relegation, and to qualify for Europe. Finish high enough in your division and you could qualify for the Champions’ League or the Eur’opeless League the following season.
If you’re awful enough to qualify for Europe, your team will go head to head with another Nightmare Team on Champions’ League and Eur’opeless League match days. Unlike other competitions where head to head ties usually end in ridiculous results like 64-42, our innovative ‘goal scoring’ system means match scores are realistic and there’s a fair chance of ties ending in a draw.
Our domestic Trophy, the Sweet-FA Cup, follows the same goal-scoring format. |
