Fantasy football forfeits are nothing new but one group of Fantasy Premier League players have come up with what fans have dubbed the most “insane” punishment yet – and it involves fathering a child.
Users of X, formerly Twitter, went into meltdown when one FPL player posted a photo of his leaderboard and disclosed the bizarre forfeit awaiting one of his mates.

The list read: “6th – Donate sperm to sperm bank” and while it was given the caveat of being “subject to change”, FPL fans didn’t hold back.

Last year, one bloke went viral for undertaking a 10-hour boat trip to Glasgow and back after finishing bottom of his league. Stephen Finnegan, from Belleeks in County Armagh, stumped up his own cash for the lengthy day trip and dubbed it the “worst experience of my life”.
