5 possible reasons why you aren’t in it

you don’t know where or how to start (so you say you aren’t into it)

You don’t want to embarrass yourself amongst your peers with your lack of fantasy league knowledge

last time, you made a team and forgot about it

You found it hard to keep updating your team, losing points and eventually losing interest

Not as fun as playing fifa on your gaming console

1. simple wayS to start picking your team

PICK 4 TOP CLASS PLAYERS, 1 IN EACH POSITION — GK, DEFENDER, MIDFIELDER & STRIKER

MANAGE YOUR MONEY WELL AND YOU COULD GET SOME MORE TOP PLAYERS IN THERE.

You can use WhoScored to see which player would be best, with their well rounded player assessment.

PICK PLAYERS WHO WILL PLAY THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF GAMES IN A SEASON

Yaya Toure

A player who doesn’t play doesn’t get you points. Look at their squads, how many games they

played the previous season and if any player has been signed to replace them.

2. join a private league with your friends

PLAYING THE GAME IN THE WORLD LEAGUE THAT HAS 100000+ PEOPLE WON’T DO GREAT THINGS FOR YOUR CONFIDENCE AS A BEGINNER.IT IS EASIER TO TAKE YOURSELF LESS SERIOUSLY WHEN PLAYING WITH FRIENDS.

YOUR FRIENDS THAT PLAY THE GAME REGULARLY WILL HAVE CREATED A PRIVATE LEAGUE TO PLAY JUST AMONGST FRIENDS. Get THE league code and join in.

you COULD USE YOUR FRIEND’S TEAMS AS REFERENCE WHEN PICKING YOUR TEAM.BUT REMEMBER, YOU MIGHT BE BETTER AT LOOKING UP AND PICKING PLAYERS THAN THEM, AND JUST DON’T KNOW IT YET.

3. GET YOUR FRIENDS TO REMIND YOU TO UPDATE YOUR TEAM

FORGETTING TO UPDATE YOUR TEAM IS A COMMON MISS WHEN YOU PLAY THROUGH A FULL SEASON.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR ENTHUSIASTIC SEASONED FRIENDS.

THEY WILL HAVE A SOCIAL MEDIA GROUP ON WHICH THEY CHAT WITH EACH OTHER ABOUT THEIR TEAM SELECTION OR PERFORMANCE

GET ON THAT AND THEIR CHATTER WILL SERVE AS YOUR REMINDER TO UPDATE YOUR TEAM.

5. CHILL OUT !

DON’T TAKE THE LEAGUE SERIOUSLY

DON’T WORRY IF YOU MISS OUT ON CHANGING YOUR TEAM FOR A WEEKEND. YOU CAN MAKE UP FOR IT WITH A GOOD WEEKEND.

DON’T WORRY IF YOU PICKED A PLAYER YOU THOUGHT WAS GOOD, WHO THEN PROMPTLY WENT AND GOT INJURED FOR THE SEASON.

BOTTOM LINE, THE MORE SERIOUSLY YOU TAKE THIS, THE LESS FUN YOU WILL HAVE.
