To help commemorate the Club's 30th season in Maccabi football, the Club introduced a new Fantasy League competition which ran throughout the 2005/06 season, via the fantasy.premierleague.com website.
The competition is run under the banner of THE FORTUNE NEWS (TFN) – the official newsletter of the Temple Fortune Football Club – which celebrated its 30th season of existence in its own right during season 2005/06. The TFN Fantasy League is open to Club Members or other invited individuals who appear on the official Club email directory each season.
Steven Feiger won the Club's inaugural Fantasy League after a tense struggle all season with Nigel Kyte and his wife Lynne providing the main challenge. But a very late sprint up the table by Martin Collins pipped Nigel to the runners-up spot on the final day of the season. Said Steve: "I am elated to have won a really close championship. It went down to the wire after being closely contested all season. It's been hugely enjoyable and I urge everybody to take part next season! Thanks to Nigel for setting it up – it's been a fantastic competition this season!" On the final day of the season, only Steve's inclusion of Thierry Henry won him the title, the Arsenal star netting a hat-trick against Wigan and earning Feig's double points as captain! "Yes, I pulled off a good move there – nice to know that an Arsenal player was good for something for once at least!" joked Steve.
In May 2006, the Club introduced a World Cup Fantasy League which ran throughout the 2006 World Cup competition. It was won by Peter Kyte with Rob Jay finishing second. In 2014 for the FIFA World Cup held that year, a Predictions competition replaced the Fantasy League format, where contestants had to forecast the scores of group matches and subsequent eventualities in the knock-out section, with the winner being the one attaining the highest number of points.
All forms of the TFN Fantasy League competition, whether for the Premier League or one of the top international events, have carried on season after season! There is no trophy at stake, just the prestige of winning and making the Roll of Honour you will see below!

| SAM TAKES THE FANTASY LEAGUE CROWN! Former First Team player SAM BASKIND has topped this season's TFN FANTASY LEAGUE table. He won the competition with 2,325 points, merely 13 points ahead of runner-up JONNY BLAIN, a current Old Boys player. Sam last played for the Club during the 2024/25 season. Third was Ami Wynbourne, who also used to play for the Club, with present Old Boys manager Stefan Simons sitting in 4th place. Ex-TFFC defender Josh Drukarz, who won the 2023/24 Fantasy League, finished 5th, whilst Alan Harounoff, the runner-up behind Josh that season, was 6th. Twice a former winner, Nicky Stone, another ex-player, came 7th and current First Teamer Adam Hilsenrath in 8th. Serial challenger Adam Glekin, a former 1sts goalkeeper and three-time Fantasy League champion, managed 9th and completing the top 10 was Josh Tiano, another ex-player. Taking the 'wooden spoon' – and holding up the 50 other participants – was Administration Officer Kerry Higham, who admits that she never updated her team once during the season so little wonder! The total of 51 participants was a new attendance record in the competition. |
