The Do’s and Don’ts of Fantasy Football: A Guide for New Players

If you're anything like me, you've spent the last few weeks glued to your computer screen, obsessively refreshing ESPN's player rankings page. You've also probably spent a small fortune on fantasy football magazines and have read so many articles on how to draft a winning team that you're now an expert.

Fantasy football is a game of skill, strategy, and calculation. However, even the most die-hard fans can make rookie mistakes. To help you avoid being that person in your league who everyone laughs about, we’ve compiled a list of dos and don’ts for fantasy football. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just starting, these tips will give you the winning edge. So without further ado, let’s get started!

Fantasy Football Do’s

Do Your Research

The first step to having a successful fantasy football season is doing your research. This means studying players’ stats, looking at last year’s performances, and predicting how well they will do this year. You also need to look at each team’s schedule and see their toughest opponents.

Create A Solid Strategy

Once you’ve gathered all of this information, it’s time to create a strategy. Figure out which players you want to draft and in what order. There’s no right or wrong way to do this, but make sure your plan makes sense and that you have backups in case someone gets injured or drops out of the league.

Stay Updated On Changes

Football is constantly evolving, so it’s important to stay up to date with changes in the Premier League. Things like player transfers, injuries, and suspensions can all have a significant impact on your team. Be sure to check in on the latest news and lineup predictions for the Premier League matches to make necessary changes to your squad.

Know the Fantasy Football Rules

This is probably the most underrated aspect of fantasy football. Make sure you know the scoring system, roster requirements, and waiver rules before draft day. This will help you make smart picks and don’t end up with a team that can’t compete.

Balance Your Players

It’s important to have a balanced team in fantasy football, so don’t overload one or two players. You want to have some backups in case someone gets injured or drops out of the league. And remember, it’s better to have a consistently good player than one who has a few big games and lots of bad ones.

Fantasy Football Don’ts

Don’t Overspend on a Player

Just like in real life, you need to be careful with your money when drafting players in fantasy football. Don’t spend all your money on one player and then end up with a team of scrubs. Try to draft players who are consistent and have a good track record.

Choose a player’s value over their popularity when drafting. Do your research and pick players you think will do well, regardless of their popularity.

Don’t Draft Your Favorite Players- If They Can’t Propel Your Team to Victory

It’s always tempting to draft your favorite player, but if they’re not performing well, then it won’t do you any good. Try to be realistic when drafting, and don’t rely on your favorite players to carry your team to victory.

When drafting players, think about the role that each one of them will play on your team. If you have a strong running game, for example, you’ll want to draft players who are good at receiving the ball.

Don’t Draft Players You Don’t Need

While it might seem like a great idea to draft players with great resale potential,  it’s not always the smartest move. If you have your eye on a player who you think will be drafted later on, it’s often better to just wait and see if they’re still available rather than using up a valuable draft pick on them.

Don’t Auto Draft

One of the most common mistakes made by beginner Fantasy Premier League managers is allowing their computer-selected teams to win matches for them. This can be tempting, but don’t do it! Auto

Auto-drafting your team is a surefire way to end up with a sub-par squad.

Conclusion

Fantasy football can be a lot of fun, but it’s important to do your research and know what you’re doing before diving in headfirst. By following the tips above, you’ll be well on your way to putting together a competitive team that has a good chance of winning your league.
