Getting started
First, see how your league will be held. Majority of the fantasy football teams is done online as the real time score keeping is easier for the commissioner. If you want to conduct it yourself, be sure to have the necessary resources and ample time. Devise a point system for the fantasy league. A number of leagues set point totals for passing, receiving and rushing touchdowns. You can set points for yardage like one for each 25 passing yards and a point for each ten receiving and rushing yards. Also, assign points for the defence and kickers. You can also use fractional points for yardage situations if you want. -

Draft
See which kind of draft you wish to run. Every team is provided a certain amount of money or points to spend on players, in an auction draft. The players are auctioned off until the participant’s roster is full or if he/she runs out of cash. On the other hand, in a serpentine draft, it is chosen randomly and teams select players at their turns. The draft order waits for the guy who selected first in the opening round picks last in the following round. This trend continues until the end. -

Finalise over the entry fee for teams in order to assign a cash prize for the champions of the fantasy league. Ask friends to join the league as soon as possible so that you have a lot of players to compete against in fantasy football.
