Some More Fantasy Football Draft Day Grumblings

August is here, well almost, and with it comes the serious start of the Fantasy Football season. This can be broken down into three parts.

1. What we will be doing
2. What you will be doing
3. What everyone else will be doing

What we will be doing

• As August goes along, we will be providing you with the StatLeader league scoring system specific draft package. League specific cheat sheets, draft process recommendations (like the one in my previous post) and more. There will be plenty of information available to you ranging from details statistical numbers to top level player analysis and recommendations.

• Once the season starts, you'll get even more with your membership. This will include the Final Countdown, our live pre-game updates on last minute player status, weekly performance analysis and league specific player point projections for the upcoming week.

What you will (should) be doing

• Learning your league's scoring system.
  

• Paying attention to what we tell you. Again, "Knowledge is Power" and the knowledge we give you will be your power to use in your league.
  

• The truth is that every Fantasy Football information site will have their own take on who is best. The other sites and publications base their recommendations, for the most part, on standard NFL game performance. Unfortunately, that causes two problems:

• Different scoring systems cause the same players to rank differently on different leagues
• Real-life NFL stats frequently don't translate directly into fantasy football performance.

• When you use our information you will have an understanding of how players and team defenses will work under the scoring systems of the 15 or so games we track. This gives you a distinct advantage.

What everyone else will be doing

• Losing. OK life isn't perfect. And even we can't predict everything. Overall, however, our information and approach will give you a much better chance to dump you opponent in ... well ... the dumps.

So sign up today. After all, what have you got to lose, the cost of a pizza or two of those out-of-date newsstand mags? On the other hand, you could end up winning ... your game, your league.
