What is Fantasy Football?

Fantasy Football is an online gaming genre that involves putting 11 top players in a virtual team and getting rewarded in total for their individual performance in a real life game. As a Fantasy Football team selector, you should select the top 11 players who can be best relied upon to score points for your team with their personal performances in goal-keeping, midfielding, striking and defending. The fantasy points of every player keep getting updated as the game progresses based on their performance.

You get to choose a Captain & Vice Captain in your Fantasy Football team. The Captain fetches you double the fantasy points he scores in the game and your Vice-Captain gives you 1.5 times his fantasy points so the 2 best players in the squad are usually made as the Captain & Vice-Captain.

This is so important because it offers updated news, fantasy football tips, and insightful articles that can help you win BIG.
