Beginners who are just getting the hang of fantasy football need to follow some civilized and practical rules, much they would in real life. Here’s our weekly fantasy football tutorial on how to behave when it comes to playing weekly fantasy football.
A lot of weekly fantasy football etiquette centers around the concept of making it a fun game for other players. In a typical fantasy football league, there are around 8-16 people involved in playing so you not only have to think about your enjoyment, you have to act so that you don’t hinder others from enjoying the game as much as you do.
In addition, if you do not practice etiquette in your daily dose of weekly fantasy football games, you end up not being invited to the league next year. And when you are playing with real friends, you have this dark chance of actually ruining a friendship.
So, here are etiquette you have to follow when playing weekly fantasy football.
Weekly Fantasy Football Etiquette 101 # 1: Always start with a full line up.
When going into the game, it is simple etiquette to prepare and begin with a full line up. Avoid starting players who are inactive or are experiencing their bye weeks. This is true even if you feel that you are about to have playoff contention thinking that you will not even win. So, giving injured players to your opponent may be a strategy, but think about the other teams that need your starting players to help them win the playoffs. People do not take to the fact that they lose because of your indifference.
Weekly Fantasy Football Etiquette 101 # 2: Avoid “concluding” with different owners.
Conclusion is a term used in fantasy football when two or more teams gang up and conspire so that a particular outcome is reached. Conclusion is usually used when two teams trade to stack. Imagine if one team has dismal players and just a few superstars, the weaker member can conspire to sell his star players, stacking up the team. Plotting with other members is basically destroying the integrity of the fantasy sports game.
Weekly Fantasy Football Etiquette 101 # 3: When accepting or rejecting trades, do it in a timely manner.
There are many fantasy football league fans out there who are devoted to the game and it will disappoint them if they do not get addressed by team owners. It only takes a few minutes in a day to replace your injured players and to accept or reject a trade offer so do it. You signed up for this, so play the game.
