Fantasy Football - The Basics
by Jenny Mather
Fantasy Football is a fantasy sports
game in which participants (called "owners"), arranged into a
league, each draft or acquire via auction a team of real-life
American football players and then score points based on those
players' statistical performance on the field. Fantasy football
players are divided on the value of having IDP in their leagues.
Fantasy Football has had a net positive benefit in increased knowledge
of players at all positions, not just the most popular positions.
Fantasy football allows this dream to become a (virtual) reality.
Leagues can be arranged in which the winner is the team with the
most total points at the end of the season, or in a head-to-head
format (which mirrors the actual NFL) in which each team plays
against a single opponent each week, and at the end of the year
the team with the best win-loss record wins the league. For more
serious competition, you can easily set up your roster by using
the latest ‘Drag and Drop’. Eligible positions are highlighted
when a player is selected. This quickly puts players in the right
roster or bench slot. There are also Personalised Fantasy Alerts,
Injury alerts and Lineup alerts when inactive players are starting
for your team. Roster alerts are when managers in other leagues
are dropping your players. You can manage your team together with
a friend or a family member. Give your co-manager full access
or restrict their permissions. Double the fun and half the sorrow!
Make your League a Legacy. Register a custom web address (URL)
for your league and set the previous seasons of your league to
show the former winners. Display record performances (available
when the season starts). Invite friends from previous leagues.
Custom League URL, a permanent URL that is yours to keep. Display
the results of previous seasons. A typical fantasy league will
employ players from a single football league, such as the NFL
or an NCAA division. Just like in real football, each year fantasy
football leagues have a draft (note: in dynasty leagues, this
normally consists of NFL rookies only), in which each team drafts
NFL players. In most leagues, no player may be owned by more than
one team, (although some leagues do allow for this). Some leagues
mandate that a dropped player cannot be claimed for a given period
of time, so although he is on the "waiver wire" (not on a team),
he is not technically a free agent right away.
