1. Know Your League

This is the step that probably seems the most obvious of the entire Plan, but how many fantasy players actually take enough time to know the intricacies of their particular league? Your league's rules, lineup and roster requirements, scoring system, free agency, etc. - All of these things have an impact on how to best build a winning team in your particular league. The more you know the rules, and understand the sometimes subtle influence they have, the better advantage you will have. This is where customization of stats, rankings, projections, news, players, etc. comes into play. You can create multiple league profiles with the My FFToday feature allowing you to customize this information to your league rules and requirements. An important first step to winning your league title.

2. Team & Player Evaluation

The biggest and most important step in the entire plan. People can talk draft strategy until they are blue in the face, but when it comes down to it, all the strategy in the world is not going to help you if the players are not evaluated correctly. With news and training camp reports, player evaluation is a constant process of analysis, decision making, re-assessing and adjusting.

3. Project Performance

Projecting performance is the process of turning the player evaluation into something we can use; player projections, rankings and draft cheatsheets. This is where the nitty-gritty work, the stat projections are developed, and the Cheatsheet Compiler shines. Whether you are a number cruncher or not, you still need to have a hand in this step to make sure the final rankings jive with what your own player evaluation is telling you. There will a constant back and forth between steps 2 and 3 of the FFT Draft Plan with updates throughout the pre-season.

4. Develop Strategy

While I did slightly knock the strategy aspect above in favor of player evaluation, strategy is a key component to any great draft. If every person enters a draft with the same or similar player rankings (something not entirely out of the realm of possibility), then the only thing setting them apart is the strategy they each employ. Who can maximize the value from their draft picks? The person who can squeeze the most value off the board will come out ahead more times than not.

5. Practice

Ok, you've done steps 1 through 4, so you think you're ready to draft, right? Not quite. Practice does make perfect, right? Why not try some different draft strategies before your big day or get a feel for how others evaluate the players you covet. No matter the specific reason, practice, practice and more practice can be a tremendous benefit to fantasy players. Mock drafting, studying average draft position ("ADP") data or even running through a few trials of our Draft Buddy software before it counts is worth the time invested.

6. Final Preparation

A refresher on the first 5 steps. Also time to take a breath and get mentally prepared for the big day. If you're short on time, FF Today will have some must-read articles in this section summarizing the most important points learned from the Plan, plus map out what to expect in a typical fantasy draft, and how we think you should draft accordingly in those circumstances.

7. Crunch Time - The Draft!

This is what we've been eagerly waiting for! However, the draft is yet one battle in a season long war. There are some post-draft steps to undertake, like identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the teams in your league, scoping out the best available free agents to get a jump on the competition. Many of us are in multiple leagues, so review the results of one draft draft to prepare for another.

That is our blueprint to success; a guide with the sole purpose to help you win your league. We've had success following this plan, beating other top "experts" in our business winning the 2002 FF Champs Challenge the 2003 Fantasy Shootout, the 2004 Fantasy Shootout, and the 2006 Fantasy Shootout just to name a few. By following the FF Today Draft Plan, we believe you will be successful too!

PTBNaija,

It allows you as a fan to choose a team using all the players in the premiership.

You are given a budget and you have to spend it and buy 15 players and play them every week.

Based on how the players do each week in the games, you will get points

follow the link http://fantasy.premierleague.com/

and read the rules.

it can be great fun.

Hello Fellas, Just wondering if there is such a concept with Nigeria's Priemer League? I discovered we're all guilty of being very passionate of foreign leagues while most of us can't even name a full squad of any club in Nigeria. I have included myself in this group of people and hope I can do something to change this.

By the way to introduce myself, Yemi Salau ,  Manager of Allsenal ,  Nairaland Fantassy League

Peace Out!
