Mondogoal Championship winner nets £15,000 on final EPL weekend

Daily fantasy sports operator Mondogoal ran a major competition to cap off the end of the 2015/16 Premier League season with one player walking away with £15,000 after triumphing in the Mondogoal Championship.

A total prize pool of £50,000 was up for grabs with second and third placed players taking home £7500 and £3750 respectively. The eventual postponement of the Man Utd v Bournemouth match, following the discovery of a mysterious device, caused some mayhem in the DFS ranks with the players that opted to play it safe and remove all players involved in this fixture from their line ups benefiting in the end.

As per Mondogoal’s rules only matches on the day were counted meaning many players that gambled and kept in their chosen United and Cherries stars were hit hard as these all scored zero. The winner of the Mondogoal Championship was Tom Johnson, and owes Olivier Giroud a drink after the Frenchman’s hat-trick helped seal his victory as well as Arsenal’s second placed finish. image (1)

Johnson, username Taj2722, also included Arsenal trio Petr Cech, Nacho Monreal and Hector Bellerin and a clean sheet over Villa meant maximum points. In the end only three points separated Johnson from second placed Seyum Berhe.

Mondogoal has also announced that it’ll be running contests throughout the summer, for the Euros, the Olympics and Copa America.

The operator has established partnerships with a host of major clubs including Spurs, Chelsea, Roma, Barcelona, Real Madrid and more.
