FANTASY LEAGUE HOW TO PLAY?
Upon registering and naming the team, users will be given a certain amount of budget to be used as their wish in order to build their dream team. This created team will then be competing with other users’ created teams.
These teams will be competing in either public league or private leagues of their choice. The rank within the leagues will be determined by the points their teams scored in each gameweek throughout the whole season. These points are earned by the real players based on their performance from their respective matches. By the end of the season, the team with the most points will be declared as champion.

FANTASY FOOTBALL TIPS FOR BEGINNERS
During the fantasy football season, you’ll want to transfer players to upgrade some weaknesses in certain positions on your team. When transferring, you target a player and then decide what you’re willing to give up to get him. Fantasy football transfering is a critical component to capturing a league championship. As the season progresses, you need to be able to adapt and pivot based on player performances and other factors.
- Use these fantasy football transferring strategies to put together a successful deal:
- Buy low, sell high (and vice versa). Transfering is all about making your team better without making it worse (in other words, improving one area without hurting another). In order to do this, look to transfer for struggling studs who you think will rebound. Transfer out your average players who have great stats so far due to soft schedules or injuries.
- If you have solid depth at a certain position, you can trade your depth to improve a weaker position on your team. Having a strong bench is a nice luxury, but only your starting lineup can earn points.
- Know the schedule. Most fantasy managers are so focused on the next game that they don’t plan ahead to avoid poor matchups. By knowing the schedule and the upcoming matchups, you can make transfers to avoid problems that could harm your team’s chances, and you can pinpoint teams that are headed for trouble.
- Be unbiased. In order to successfully make a transfer, you have to take an unbiased approach. Overvaluing or hanging on to players because you originally selected them is one way to miss a great transfer opportunity. If you’re unsure, ask someone outside of the league for advice.
