An Intro To Fantasy Football

O.K, let's get one thing straight right off the bat, we are talking about American soccer here, you know the sport with the funny shaped ball! Anyhow, let's not spend time on semantics I have stuff to do.
The way fantasy soccer works is like this, every player or owner as we are called in the Fantasy Sports World, drafts or buys thru an auction a bunch of players. For the purposes of this introduction we're going to assume the fantasy football league is NFL, it may be based on university players. The way that the actual completion plays out is dependent on the individual fantasy soccer league you should happen to belong to. In some fantasy football leagues the winner is determined by total points at the end of a season, while others really play against one another weekly with the team having the best record at the end of the fantasy season being announced winner of that fantasy football league.
The internet has been accountable for taking fantasy football from a spare time interest played out in sports bars and individual homes to a multi-billion buck industry now according to the Fantasy Sports Trade Organisation. According to the FSTA, just about twenty million players take part in fantasy sports and the industry has a rate of growth of about ten %. Fantasy Soccer is the most well liked of all the fantasy sports available and continues growing even faster with the explosion of web sites and software to help with the game as well as the proliferation of fantasy soccer mags available today.
Most fantasy soccer leagues will be made from around ten or twelve individual teams which will have their own mock drafts before the season starts. Because you are drafting real players and their performance actually matters it pays to stay in contact with what is happening with them in the off season and pre-season. For example if you draft a Ricky Williams and he decides to go off and smoke dope, too bad, you are screwed out of a running back! In some fantasy football leagues each owner must draft a new team every year, while in others you could be permitted to keep a few players which won't be entered in the draft. Some leagues have even gone as far as to make supposed dynasty leagues where an owner may maintain his team from the previous season and only draft inward-bound rookies. This is very similar to how a genuine soccer league works.
Players that aren't drafted are elected as "free agents" and can be selected during the season by trading players that an owner may currently have and making them free agents. The rules that govern this practice differ from league to league.
