SmashUp Fantasy Sports: A New Way to Play Fantasy Football

This article was written by Fantasy Pros writer Raju Byfield (@FantasyContext) about SmashUp Fantasy Sports and reposted here with their permission

Welcome to SmashUp Fantasy Sports, one of the most addicting twists on the fantasy football experience. SmashUp Sports is a completely free-to-play multiplier salary cap game that allows you to assign multipliers or boosts to players of your choice. This is done via SmashCards. SmashCards can be assigned to players or positions and can be adjusted at any time before the slate starts. Users can enter up to three lineups per week, but if you use the promo code FantasyPros, you will get to enter a fourth lineup up until the Super Bowl.

SmashUp Fantasy Sports

SmashUp Fantasy Sports presents an innovative twist on the fantasy sports experience that combines a novel GUI with a unique multiplier experience. The retro interface harkens memories of the 8-bit Nintendo or Sega days, while the addition of cards to the multiplier experience presents a fresh and innovative take on what has become a saturated DFS market with a distinct lack of differentiation.

Being completely free to play with grand prizes like an Xbox Series X and cash prizes ranging from $150 – $2 for second to 100th place, this is a DFS experience all fantasy football players should try their hand at. It takes less than 10 minutes to create an account, confirm your email, and set a lineup. And users are free to tinker with their lineups until game time.

You can test out different combinations to get the highest projected score possible for one of your lineups while going with an all-upside team with another and then going studs and duds and balanced on your other two. Whatever your strategies, the addition of an extra lineup with the FantasyPros promo code is sure to increase your chances of winning each week. You can also set up private tournaments for you and your friends (or rivals) or join one hosted by one of your favorite fantasy influencers.

The salary cap is set at $50,000 for players and $12,000 for SmashCards. There is a laundry list of SmashCards to choose from, and finishing in the prize range each week will depend on choosing the right combination to maximize your potential fantasy points. New SmashCards are being added every week, with three more joining the fray for Week 16.
