The winner of the league gets a PlayStation 5

We’re pretty sure that many of you watching this video enjoy
fantasy football. And if you’re a fan, you surely know that
Fantasy Premier League – or just FPL as it is famously referred
to – is one of the most popular fantasy football leagues in the
world. The winner of the last one will get an
all-expense-paid trip to the UK which also involves VIP tickets
to 2 Premier League games in the upcoming season.

Apart from that, they also get a Hublot watch, a Nike jacket, a
gaming console, and lots more. But perhaps more
importantly, that person that wins the game gets insane bragging
rights. Sitting at the top of a table of millions is an insane
achievement. And only few understand that better than this chess
grandmaster from Norway, Magnus Carlsen.

Carlsen, according to many, is the greatest chess prodigy there
has ever been. Way back in 2004, aged only 13 years, 148 days, he
became the second-youngest chess grandmaster ever. He
didn’t stop there. At 19, he then became the youngest ever
world’s number 1 in chess history. And at the 2013 World Chess
Championship, at the age of 22, he beat Vishwanathan Anand to
become the undisputed chess champion of the world.

Carlsen, who started playing chess at just 5 years old, is said
to now have the highest rating in chess history – 2872. So,
having done it all in chess, Carlsen decided to look for a new
challenge, and he turned to fantasy football; FPL in particular.
