BACKGROUND FOR THE INVENTION:
[003] Fantasy sports league games are well known. In these games participants select currently active real-life athletes to form fantasy teams. A participant's success or failure in the game corresponds to the performance of the players in real-life games. Owners of such fantasy teams compile [won-lost] records by competing head-to-head against each of the other teams in the league, the winner being determined by which team's players performed better the previous week.

with actual athletes for purposes of competing with each other based on corresponding real-life field-of-play performances of the actual athletes. The method includes restricting a population of each of a first and second fantasy roster for respective first and second participants to actual athletes who are teammates on respective first and second real-life team and measuring corresponding real-life field of play performance of the actual athletes on the first and second fantasy rosters. A ranking is established as between the first participant and the second participant based on the respective performance measurements and is further displayed. The first real-life team and the second real-life team may be the same real-life team, or different real-life teams.
[006] By the reference of US Patent no. US10279270B1 by Roy McKinnon dated 2017-08-24, titled "Fantasy sport system" discloses an automated fantasy sports system is rule driven. Rules provide for substitution of players during play. Substitution is allowed only at discrete time periods which are defined for each sport. Rules govern the accumulation of points. When a player is substitute out, the player continues to accumulate points until the end of the discrete time period. The player that is substituted in does not accrue points until the beginning of the next discrete time period.
[007] By the reference of US Patent no. US10561951B2 owned and filed by Disney Enterprises Inc dated 2015-11-18, titled "Method and device for fantasy sport player recommendations" discloses a method and device are for fantasy sport applications including receiving a plurality of ranking values associated with a sport player; assigning a corresponding weight value to each ranking value; determining a score value as a function of the ranking value and the corresponding weight value; determining a final ranking value as a function of the score values for the sport player; and generating a recommendation for the sport player as a function of the final ranking value.

[009] By reference to US application no. US11198068B2 by Efantasy Sports LLC dated 2020-02-17, titled" Method of conducting a fantasy sports game" discloses Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for implementing a fantasy sports game that shares the same objective as an actual sporting contest and that is based on individual plays from actual games executed in the fantasy sports game according to selection criteria. Fantasy game play is based on the outcomes of individual plays, instead of aggregate stats and/or fantasy points, which allows for a fantasy game with realistic game flow. The method executes plays, without active participation from a fantasy player, based on selection criteria which compare the current fantasy contest situation to the situation of the actual sporting contest when the outcome was recorded and applies the outcome to the fantasy game from the actual play which is most similar in situation. The result is a fantasy game carried out through individual plays which can be viewed like an actual sporting event.
[010] By reference to US application no. US10248290B2 by Philip Galfond, Dan Quinn dated 2017-06-13, titled" Fantasy sports simulation game system and method " discloses a method comprising generating a plurality of contests by receiving game day lineup selections associated with respective user accounts; generating a plurality of game day sports contests by matching a plurality of pairs of user accounts; and sending game day matching notifications to the respective matched pairs of user accounts.

[011] By reference to US application no. US20110021262A1 by Peter Wikander dated 2010-07-22, titled" Fantasy sports game and method of conducting same" discloses a sports fantasy game, having a roster of fantasy players for each user, and

a slot machine-like apparatus that provides a limited number of spins for populating the roster of fantasy players. Also disclosed herein is a method of conducting the above described game. Further described and claimed are various modifications and enhancements.
[012] Till now, fantasy sports have been played in the most routine manner where users select their team and depending on the performance of the players they have selected, their points are calculated on the basis of the pre-agreed rules so set out by the league, the organization hosting, organizing, operating, managing such league. However, this leaves out many consumers who would like to participate but do not owing to the lack of proper guidance, or the necessary knowledge required to participate in the league, and play. The inventions in this domain have two concerns and drawbacks, the first being that fantasy sports generally restrict the credits within which a user must select his team for any given sport. Second, the user must continue a high level of engagement/monitoring for any last-minute changes in the actual lineups announced by the teams.
[013] As of now fantasy sports has two major limitations from the perspective of a user/consumer. First being that fantasy sports generally restrict the credits within which a user has to select his team for any given sport. Secondly, the user has to continue a high level of engagement/monitoring for any last minute changes in the actual lineups announced by the teams. Social fantasy solves these two problems by simply allowing a user to tap into the expertise of well-established analysts (which could be ex-sportsmen or journalists etc) and don't have to bother about regular monitoring. This acts more like a guidance to the consumer who may not be very adept at making calls on composition of teams or simply does not want to.
[014] There is a need felt for an invention which provides a social fantasy platform, which solves these two problems and concerns of the end users. The invention which allows a user to tap into the expertise of well-established analysts (who could be ex-sportsmen or journalists etc. Who are aware of the occurrences in the real time events surrounding the sports which adds to their knowledge and expertise in the domain) and where the users do not have to bother about regular monitoring at their own individual level.

[015] However, none of the aforementioned existing inventions as discussed herein provide for such solutions in fantasy sport. The present invention allows the user of a fantasy sport platform/ game to tap into the expertise of well-established analysts. The user does not have to indulge in regular monitoring of the sporting events taking place in the real world. The invention platform displays the list of experts participating in a contest along with their team selection. The sport also displays the participating ticket price. During the play, the user chooses the specific expert whose team they want to select from, and the users can also buy multiple teams from different experts by paying the ticket price for each separately. The user can see the success rate before buying into his team.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION:
[016] Some of the objects of the present disclosure, which at least one embodiment
herein satisfies, are as follows. [017] The main object of the present invention is to provide a fantasy sport platform
with new features and method of playing fantasy sports . [018] Another object of the invention is to provide afantasy sports platform that allows
the credits within which a user has to select his team for any given sport. [019] Another object of the invention , the fantasy sports platform allows a user to tap
into the expertise of well-established analysts (which could be ex-sportsmen or journalists
etc).
[020] Yet another object of the invention, the user has to not require a high level of engagement/monitoring for any last minute changes in the actual lineups announced by the teams.
[021] Still another object of the invention, the fantasy sports platform doesn't bother about regular monitoring and acts more like a guidance to the consumer who may not be very adept at making calls on composition of teams or simply does not want to.
[022] Other objects and advantages of the present disclosure will be more apparent from the following description, which is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.
