Biwenger Adds "Superpica" Game for LaLiga Fantasy Managers
Biwenger, one of the most widely used fantasy football platforms tied to LaLiga EA Sports, has launched a new feature named "Superpica", according to a report from AS.
The feature allows managers—the users who build and run virtual teams within the game—to select the best player from each match played during matchday 2 of the season.
The selected player is designated the MVP, an abbreviation for "most valuable player", a title commonly used across various sports and gaming platforms to recognise standout performances.
According to the report, this addition introduces a new decision-making element for Biwenger users, who must now evaluate performances and choose which player deserves the MVP title for each fixture.
The move appears aimed at deepening user engagement with the platform, as managers are encouraged to consider strategy beyond simply selecting players for their fantasy squads.
It has not been specified exactly how the MVP selection interacts with the scoring system, though it is described as a way for managers to reflect their judgement of matchday performances.
AS, a major Spanish sports outlet, reported that the Superpica feature is now active for the second round of matches in the current LaLiga season.
Biwenger has built a large following among football fans who enjoy fantasy competitions alongside watching the real matches, and updates like Superpica are part of ongoing efforts to keep the game fresh.
Fantasy football platforms such as Biwenger typically award points based on real player statistics, including goals, assists and other match events, and any new feature that adds a layer of manager choice can influence how competitive and social these games feel.
While the report does not detail long-term plans for the feature, its introduction suggests that Biwenger is continuing to expand its offerings to keep pace with fan interest in LaLiga EA Sports throughout the season.
As more matchdays are played, it is likely that further details on how Superpica affects overall standings and strategy will emerge among the game's active user base.
