What's my fantasy?
I admit it I'm a fantasy addict. Any sport, even ones I know very little about. And how many of these competitions have I won over the years - just the one. I remember it clearly, it was a Yahoo fantasy baseball competition, and now I am very proud to enter the winners tournament every year.
I've been sitting here picking my fantasy golf team for next week, yes really, and trying to work out what draws me into this. The sad answer is stats, pure and simple. I love to study stats. I like to know my teams strengths and weaknesses and those of their opponent. I look at last years ratings, compare them to the previous years and try to work out what is a good pick or not. For sports I don't understand I just go for the automated draft, and then trust to luck. Which is currently not good.
Here below are the fantasy games I am currently playing and my relevant position
Fantasy football - Game 1 991st out of 9576
Game 2 32nd out of 1000
Fantasy American Football - finished 8th out of 10 (useless bloody quarterbacks)
Fantasy Basketball 10th out of 12 in my league
Fantasy Ice Hockey 7th out of 12 in my league
Fantasy Golf ranked in the 53rd percentile
So you can see I may study hard but I'm basically rubbish. I will use this blog to track my teams movements detailing how far behind the leaders I am, and any tips and clues along the way. Of course if anyone wants to help me out all tips and hints are gratefully received
The fantasy baseball season is soon to be upon us, and I will throw my cap in the ring for this. I play on Yahoo, so if anyone who stumbles upon my blog would like to join in, just leave me a comment and prepare to show me how to play the game
