Fantasy Football

What Is Fantasy Football

Fantasy football is a game that casts you in the role of a fantasy manager, given the task to pick a squad of real-life players who score points for your team based on their real-life performances in their matches.
To play fantasy football you’ll need to pick a team of 11 or sometimes a squad of 15 real-life players or more,that will represent you each week of the season. Over each of those weeks they will score you points which will add and subtract to a total that will be compared to other peoples teams in your mini league and/or in the fantasy game world overall with prizes at stake.
