What’s better than the start of a new football season? The start of a new Fantasy Football season!
As the real transfers start are confirmed, the virtual ones start to emerge. And when it’s time for the market, be sure to have a strategy in mind. If you're looking for glory among your peers, these tips will help you kick off the season on the right foot and sail through it with the highest ranking possible.
Build a strong defence
One of the most important weekly bonuses is awarded to the defenders who don’t let any goals in. Note which teams have the least goals scored against them and try to sign their defenders. Even if your players aren’t having an inspired scoring day, you’ll still be guaranteed points if they don’t concede any goals.
Sign low and sell high
It’s almost impossible for players to maintain peak physical condition throughout the season; that’s why transfers should always be on your radar. If you have a couple of players who have been performing well, put them up for sale and boost your finances – you might just about be able to afford to sign Modric or Pedri the following week!
Playing on home turf or visiting?
Visiting an opponent’s pitch is not the same as playing at home for any coach, especially because the tactical approaches could be different. To prevent any of your players from running out of points, put together your line-up with this important factor in mind.
The importance of a great number 9
Good forwards score a lot of goals and that means a lot of points in the Fantasy League. The Spanish league is full of top scorers like Griezmann, Lewandowski, and Vínicius. If you see a superstar within your spending range, don’t hesitate to buy him.
Check out your team before the game
A common mistake is to forget to check your line-up the day before the match. Due to sanctions, injuries, tactical decisions or the dreaded closure, your team may very well deplete without you even noticing. Check your line-up 24 hours before game day to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
