Random post about Yahoo Fantasy Football

I am sure some of the people watching the BPL do play some of the online Fantasy League games where you either pick 11 players or 14 players from the pool of all available players in the BPL. The choice of players will be limited based on a 100 pts system.

The objective of the game is to pick the individual players whom you think will perform the best for a particular week. The only constraint as mention above is the whole team total worth is 100 pts.

I have already played it for 2 seasons yet I still not able to get the hang of it.
It seems this game favour players who keep on shooting since the points awarded for a goal is 7 pts but an assist is only 3 pts. Playing this game makes us support more on individual then an overall team performance.

I have tried choosing players where the allocation is focus on two areas (striker and midfielder) and for the rest of the position it is really picking the players to fill the numbers. I have also tried going for an all rounder team allocation. However none seem to work well :(

If there are any other people who is playing this game and is able to advice on the best strategy I am all ears for it :)
