# What's next

Organising (classic) fantasy games have their challenges:&#x20;

* Only a small number of users can reach the top positions and win prizes
* During season breaks it is difficult to keep your subscribers engaged
* The rights holders of league assets often change
* Every season you need to start over from scratch and build a new team
* Competitors announce high-value prizes, but how can we ensure they are not cheating?

We can address all these challenges at once by joining the **Metaverse** and creating the next-generation **Play-To-Own 'fantasy soccer'** game **powered by the** **blockchain**.&#x20;

* Using a Play-to-Own model, all users can interact within various unique scenarios designed to build engagement and earn rewards by contributing to the ecosystem community.
* IP rights can be negotiated directly with the clubs that will become our partners.
* During season breaks our community can train their 12th Man, play mini-games and trade on the NFT marketplace.
* Decentralised blockchain technology with its democratic governance mechanisms will guarantee honest ranking results.

As managers of their virtual team, users will find numerous opportunities to engage and interact by assuming the exciting role of a soccer manager. They will be able to buy and sell players, devise winning strategies, pick teams and design the style and presentation of their squad.

**Fantopy** player cards can be earned, bought or sold as "non-fungible tokens (NFTs)", which are minted digital football cards. In addition to interacting as a "football team manager", fans can also train and improve their **12th Man**, an extra player for the team who can gain additional power by playing mini-games and wearing minted equipment and outfits that can be earned, bought, or sold as NFTs.
