Debra Purcell-Regis is a retired teacher who taught in school across the state of New York. In her retirement, she has found a love for fantasy sports, and has been quite successful throughout her time participating online. Here are some useful tips for drafting a successful fantasy sports team.
No matter what fantasy sports team your picking, you need to have a firm understanding of the rules. This doesn’t just mean the rules of the sport you’re playing, but the rules of each individual league as well. Some fantasy sports leagues will have different point systems or rules based on what the players in the league prefer. Make sure you understand all the rules of the sport, and the league you’re participating in.
Don’t just draft the best players you can. You need to make your team diverse so that you have a full lineup of solid players, not just a few greats mixed with players that never do well when it comes to gam day. Look at new prospects coming into the league that are projected to do well, check the injury and reserve lists, and above all, do your research on veterans and rookies alike.
Don’t let your personal bias get in the way. Many new fantasy players make the mistake of drafting players from their home team, or players they like for reasons beyond skill. Don’t make this mistake when drafting your team; simply pick the best player for your team so that you can win games.
