I never understood what fantasy football is about or how it works. I remember friends is getting together and doing pools but could never grasp the concept. Also what makes it so fun and appealing? Im hoping this sub can help me understand. 😊👍

You start by getting a group of interested people to play and you use an online app or website to track everything and play your season.
At the start of a real football season you all take turns to “draft” real world players for your fantasy football team. Maybe you want the quarterback from the 49ers, or a running back from the Rams, so on and so forth. So now you all have your fantasy team of real world players.
Then as the real world season goes on, the app/website tracks the real world performance of your players and uses that to assign points to your fantasy team. If your players do really well in real life, your fantasy team is going to do really well. Edit, I should add that each week your fantasy team is paired up against another fantasy team in the league so that’s how wins are decided.
It’s a way for sports fans to assemble their own dream team, and it’s usually accompanied by a lot of trash talking and betting. Most people I know who play it seem to enjoy it a lot.
