Fantasy football leagues have been popular among sports fans for decades. This is a great way of getting involved in the activities that give flavour to the sport, but players are in constant search for the right formula of what makes the best team. Sure, there are strategies given by other players, advice you can turn to, but at the end of the day all the info you get through internet news and message boards may very well confuse you even more. If you want the essential tips when it comes to the best way to pick your team for the season, here they are.
Stick to popular players
The rule of thumb indicates that you can rarely go wrong if you go with a squad of players who are tried and tested. Hot new signings, young trending players may seem like an attractive and tempting choice but you can expect to do well if you select players who are in good form and have proven it already. Keep in mind that picking out solid performers is equal to taking the expensive route, but it is safe to say that you are making an investment should come back and bring a good return.

Pick out players from the top 6 clubs
The clubs that top the list are on these positions for a reason. From them, you can expect stability and strong play; there is no reason to doubt reaching success if you go for players from the top 6 clubs. You can spread the coverage and pick out your squad members from all six premier teams and solidify your chances of getting good results. That being said, don’t pick as many players as you can from the Big 6. Be sensible and don’t let yourself be blinded by their prestige. Also give a chance to a mid-level club’s chief creative threat, especially since you will get access to it for a cheaper price.
Rotating goalkeepers and defenders is the way to go
Of the most common mistakes fantasy football players make is picking a starting goalkeeper from one of the big clubs and using the cheapest back-up. The better option would be picking two mid-range goalkeepers, as it means securing a safe pair of hands at all times without paying a staggering price for one big name. The same applies to defender positions. You will remove any duds that would simply fill the bench and have solid players to rotate and manipulate with as the situation demands it.
