Hobbies are great distractions from the worries and troubles that plague daily living.
– Bill Malone
Hobbies are activities we engage in that gives us joy everytime we do them but not all hobbies will be able to give us money and that is why it's always a plus should we discover one that will bring us money alongside catching fun.
In the quest of my search was when I discovered Fantasy Premier League called FPL.
I am a football lover (I play and I watch also), so it was very easy for me to enjoy my newly discovered hobby.
This is a hobby that's very intermittent but then for the period it stays, it's always a thrilling one to engage in.
What Do I Mean By This?
FPL is a hobby I get to enjoy only when the England Premier League is on, hence, the intermittency.

For the first season I started, I really didn't make money but I still enjoyed it.... Maybe it's because I'm a football lover anyway (after watching football, playing football, I then get to have fun and make money with the same football)
Can It Make You Money?
FPL is a hobby that makes me money, but just like the Igbo adage says, "Ego Ka e ji achu ego" which means we make money with money (something close to making money from your investment), I make money with FPL with my money also, hehe.
How Do I Do This?
In this my hobby, there are many paid Leagues that gives you reward in terms of jerseys or money when you win or depending on your position.
The registration fee is always very low compared to what you could earn so it's always a win-win situation (if you don't win, you just have fun, hehe) but if you're good, definitely you'll win with consistency.
Some of these leagues in my school are:
- Jersey Plug:

Here, the manager of the week get to win the jersey off his choice.
You can either sell it or enjoy wearing it, hehe.
- UNEC FPL

Here, there are a lot of rewards to win ranging from the manager of the week down to the manager of the month and others.... Peep at the flier to see them all.
#HiveNaija Community also joined in on the fun.
This is one of the best actually because all you need to join is your hive account and then stand chance of winning mouth watering rewards every week and at the end of the season.#FootballOnHive Community joined the fun last year and all you need is your Hive username also and the wins are insanely amazing.
Is It Something That Can Be Done Easily And For A Long Time?
Yes, it's very easy to do and it has come to stay unless you're hoping for a day when AI will get on the pitch.
Well, might not be easy if you're not a football fan as it revolves around football but it's very easy for me since I'm good with football already.
You just have to buy necessary players that will give you enough points by scoring goals, giving assists or keeping a clean sheet in a match.
It's that easy, hehe.

It will look like this after you're done setting your team (11 players on the pitch and 4 players on the bench)
Hobbies are really great things that we engage in so when you get the opportunity of discovering one that will pay you, never let go of it.
Thanks for reading and have a nice day👍
