What is Fantasy Football?

Fantasy Football is an online fantasy sports game that involves selecting a virtual team of real players and scoring points on the basis of their performances in a real-world match. As the team selector in the fantasy football app, your aim is to select the best possible playing 11 from two opponent teams playing, score the highest points, and beat your competitors’ teams.

Select the 11 players (within the provided credits) who you think can score the most points for your team with their performance in the various departments of the game, like goal-keeping, defending, midfield and striking. The selection of the best players, of course, depends on several factors as it’s a real-match scenario.

Although some luck might increase your chances of winning, fantasy football is predominantly a game of skill that requires a good knowledge of the game and excellent analytical and predictive abilities. A good understanding of the game and a little bit of research will help you select the best players for a match and win the game.

Fantasy Football Points System

The scoring system in fantasy football works differently from fantasy cricket. For starters, the departments are completely different in the two sports and the way of playing is also different.

There are goals instead of runs scored, tackles/assists instead of wickets taken, clean sheets instead of catches/stumpings/run-outs, negative points for disciplinary cards, etc.
Here is how players score points in fantasy football:

  1. Every successful tackle or assist earns positive points.
  2. Every goal scored earns positive points.
  3. Every clean sheet earns positive points.
  4. Every penalty shot saved earns positive points.
  5. Every goal conceded receives negative points.

There are two disciplinary cards in football: Red and Yellow cards. Getting these disciplinary cards receives negative points

  1. For every Yellow Card received: -1 point.
  2. For every Red Card received: -3 points.
  3. Any event during the Extra Time (in-game; not penalty shootout ) will receive points.

Fantasy Football Tips and Tricks

Fantasy Football games test your knowledge of the sport, decision-making ability, and analytical skills. Knowing a few simple tips and tricks is the key to winning these games. Take a look at our exclusive tips and tricks to ace fantasy football.

  1. Check out Players’ Form
    You need to stay informed about the players’ performance and form in the recent games. It is highly likely that you will go for players with a good career record, but they might not be in form at the moment. So to play safe, you should pick players who play well regularly and have performed well in the last 5-10 games. That will maximize your chances of winning the game.
  2. Read Match Predictions
    Match predictions made by experts can give you a good insight into the upcoming matches. Many experts make predictions about matches from a few days to hours before the matches start. You can go through them to make informed decisions while selecting/changing your team.
  3. Invest Smartly
    Generally strikers are high-priced players in fantasy football games, but there is no guarantee that every striker will perform well. So it is important to invest wisely in players. There are some players who perform well regularly but are available at lower credits. You can go for such players and select the best team.
  4. Choose the Captain and the Vice Captain Wisely
    In fantasy football, the captain and the vice captain may be the deciding factor in a game. The captain gets 2X points and the vice captain gets 1.5X points as other players for the same performance. So it is important to consider your options carefully and select the best players as the captain and the vice captain of your team.

    Pro Tip: Select top players who score goals regularly or defenders who can score points in attacks.
  5. Select Set-piece Specialists
    In football, set-pieces are corners, penalties, and free-kicks. These situations often give you a chance to score goals and points. You can pick players who are experts in set-piece moves.
  6. Pick the Best Goalkeeper
    You can have only one goalkeeper on your fantasy football team. So it is crucial to pick the best one in the lot. You can start by doing your research about the top goalkeepers on the teams. Take a look at their track record and form to make an informed decision.
  7. Keep An Eye On Substitute Players
    Unlike cricket, substitutes play an important role in the game of football. They are used very tactically by the coaches and are fully involved in the game. Three to five players are named substitutes in every football match. They can score goals, provide assists and crucial tackles during the game.
  8. Avoid Injury Prone Players
    Do not include any player who is injury prone or someone who is coming in straight after recovering from an injury. They might not take full part in the game and give you maximum points.
  9. Maintain a Balance in the Team
    Select a balanced team after considering players’ positions and the credit points they are worth. There have been many instances when teams with low-rank players have performed exceptionally well. Do not select an unreasonably high number of players for the same position. It is always helpful to maintain a balance in your team.
  10. Trust Your Instincts
    Apart from skill, analysis and knowledge of the game, you have to trust your instinct and gut feeling while selecting players on your team. A player may not have performed in the past few matches or and may not be a popular pick for the upcoming match, but if he/she is part of your team and performs, you will have a higher chance of winning the contest.
