Forget Risk, play Fantasy Football for Fascists: grudge matches, foul play and violent conduct guaranteed | Simon Tisdall

Fantasy Football for Fascists ( FFF ) is ideal for dictators, autocrats, strongmen, neo-Stalinists, far-right nationalist-populists or just students of geopolitics.

Under conventional fantasy football rules, imaginary teams are composed of real-life players from the Premier League .

In FFF , the principal players are typically politicians and public figures who exhibit extreme totalitarian tendencies.

Leading FFF teams include Donald Trump’s Mad Angry Geezers Athletic ( Maga ) and Vladimir Putin's Greater Russia United (GRU).

Maga took the lead when right-winger Steve Bannon escaped his police marker and fired a shot past Rest of the World ’keeper Justin Trudeau (with an automatic assault rifle) In a sensational burst, Maga scored three more times while the Rest Of the World team were in the changing rooms on a tea break.

Trump completed Maga ’s misery, scoring a last-minute own goal.
