TheSix was one of the most feature-rich daily fantasy football platforms of its time, offering an extensive range of competitions supported by an advanced fantasy scoring system.
Unlike many early fantasy football operators, TheSix rewarded a wide variety of on-field actions, placing greater emphasis on all-round player performance rather than simply goals and assists.
Available Competitions
TheSix offered daily fantasy football contests across many of the world’s leading competitions, including:
- UEFA Champions League.
- UEFA Europa League.
- English Premier League.
- La Liga.
- Serie A.
- Bundesliga.
- Ligue 1.
- Major League Soccer.
- Copa Libertadores.
- Brazilian Série A.
- Liga MX.
- Chinese Super League.
Managers built an 11-player team while remaining within a salary cap and competed in a variety of contest formats.
Contest Types
TheSix catered for both casual and experienced fantasy managers through a range of tournament structures, including:
- Guaranteed Prize Pools (GPPs).
- Double Ups.
- Triple Ups.
- Head-to-head contests.
Scoring System
One of TheSix’s biggest strengths was its sophisticated scoring model.
Fantasy points were awarded for numerous statistical actions, including:
- Goals.
- Assists.
- Shots.
- Interceptions.
- Duels won.
- Defensive actions.
- Passing contributions.
This encouraged managers to look beyond goalscorers when building their teams.
Team Selection
Managers selected an 11-player squad using a €100 million salary cap.
Available formations included:
- 3-5-2
- 3-4-3
- 4-3-3
- 4-4-2
- 4-5-1
- 5-3-2
- 5-4-1
The player selection interface featured powerful filters, allowing users to sort footballers by club, position, price, projected value and recent fantasy performance.
Managers also nominated a captain, who received a 20% fantasy points bonus.
Live Scoring
Once contests were underway, users could follow live scoring through the “My Contests” section, comparing their team’s performance against the rest of the field as matches progressed.
The detailed scoring model meant every tackle, interception and attacking contribution had the potential to influence the leaderboard.
TheSix Today
Although TheSix is no longer active, it remains one of the more innovative daily fantasy football platforms launched during the growth of the European DFS market.
Many of the features it introduced—including advanced statistics, flexible player filters and detailed scoring—can now be found across modern fantasy sports platforms.
