As PCs weren't that popular back than and we played outside all day, yes. We had our fantasy football league. We generated the results by actually playing.
You all know that Kinder Surprice eggs, so we used the toys inside them as players. There was a draft and everyone choose his players. I think we had 6 for each team. After that you arrange your players on the field and we played against each other. We had a lot of rules, like the player who's closer to the ball can play with it. You can arrange your players and move them say 10cm if the player who has to play with the ball is 10cm away from it. Than you either shoot at the goal or pass to other player/toy. Was real fun. The goals looked like that https://img1.etsystatic.com/060/0/10147826/il_570xN.684977951_rmtl.jpg. They were taken from some soccer cake.
Some of the toys were really awesome for striker roles. They could even lift the small ball really high and score superb goals.
As we all couldn't spend 20 hours outside most of us had their fantasy country and football league at home. I had 3 divisions I think, didn't have enough toys to create more teams. Never occur to me to recreate this in football manager. But in 2002 we all started playing FM and never got back to those toys.
So, I just realised I might be really weird
