Now that we have improved on the basics of most fantasy leagues, let's get creative. Fantasy football is about players and statistics, however, we have added another element to our league. Your ability to predict the success of players and teams.
Add Preseason Picks of How The NFL Will Turnout
In our league, each participant is given a sheet to fill out at the beginning of the season. On this sheet, you must predict where each team will finish in each division. You must also predict who will be the wild card teams and the exact seedings of each conference in the playoffs. We award points for each correct pick as the season progresses. These picking points are added with the players points your team accumulates. So, not only do you have to study which players will have great seasons, you must also know which teams will do well.
We have a full sheet of predictions you must make including NFL MVP, First coach to be fired, offensive and defensive rookie of the year, Defensive MVP, Coach of the Year, team with the worst record, team with the best record, last team to lose starting the season, and last team to win starting the season. All of this adds to the fun of the NFL season. Much more for you to watch and pull for based on your predictions.
We also predict the Conference Championship games, Super Bowl, and Super Bowl MVP. We award huge points for these so that people who's players have been injured or not performed well still have an opportunity to win the league.
Because our predictions go all the way through the Super Bowl, we keep our players through the Super Bowl. This adds to the strategy of which players you want when the deadline for transactions takes place. That deadline in our league is week 12. So many people tell me how their league is over in week 17, BUMMER DUDE! Our league is just heating up.
Several times our league has been won in the Super Bowl, which made for an AWESOME ending. In 2001, when the Patriots beat the Rams in Super Bowl 36 on Vinatieri's kick, that kick decided our league champion. In 2004, when the Patriots beat the Eagles in the Super Bowl 39, our league was decided at the end of the game on whether Tom Brady was the Super Bowl MVP or not. Your league ends in week 17, MY LEAGUE IS DETERMINED IN THE SUPER BOWL. Not even close which is better.
Make preseason predictions a part of your points and carry your players all the way through the Super Bowl. You will be glad you did. AND YOU WON'T GO BACK.
