  "summary": "The Women's Super League (WSL) is launching its first official fantasy game, aiming to address the common issue of player retention in fantasy sports. Unlike most fantasy leagues that span months-long seasons and demand regular participation, this new WSL fantasy game will run alongside the actual soccer matches. This unique approach aims to attract new fans and allow them to engage with the sport as it progresses. The game will feature player photos prominently, a less common feature in fantasy sports leagues.",
