What exactly is a sports fantasy team?

Question

of course, I have been hearing about this thing for many years now, but now that I am more interested in sports than ever, I began to wonder about fantasy teams. So what are they exactly and what do you do in them?

Answer 1

I believe it is basically when a person dreams up a perfect team for certain reasons.  For instance, if you made up a fantasy football team and put certain players in it, you could tell some other football dude and you could discuss the pros/cons of such a team and what could be done to improve it.  It's not a real team, it's a fantasy team.

Answer 2

a team that has all of the best players in it.

or it could be some kind of g*y fantasy about men playing football>>>

=s

Answer 3

Fantasy sports teams give fans an opportunity to feel like a real GM.  You pick your "fantasy teams" players, you make trades, you chose who to start each week against other fantasy teams, and you root for YOUR players.  This can be especially fun when your friends are the GM's of the other fantasy teams in your fantasy league.  Then you can rejoice in the thrill of victory over your buddy or suffer the agony of defeat when your team's roster doesn't perform up to expectations.

Fantasy sports let you use your ability to predict players future performances based on stats, hunches, and gut feelings.

As with all things, you get out of it what you put in.  If you and friends get together to draft and you all take it relatively serious, a good time can be had by all.  It will give you a common ground to spark conversations with coworkers or even keep in touch with old friends.  Sometimes you might even make a new friend or two.

Fantasy sports used to be for geeks and nerds only ... now it has become a relatively "cool" endeavor.

I am obviously a huge fan of fantasy sports.  If you get the chance to try it out, you just might like it too.  If you are new, I suggest you start out with a standard scoring system and keep it simple.  The good news is that luck can play a huge factor and beginners can win even against “experts.” You should be warned that fantasy sports can be lots of fun and you just might find yourself hooked on them too!

Answer 4

You "draft" real pro players on your fantasy team, and then you get points for how well they do on their real games. Your team competes against others.  It is fun if U R into sports.

Answer 5

sports fantasy teams aren't really real and if they were id be a team that is impossible to beat

Answer 6

I am so glad u asked first--i don't know either.

Answer 7

you get a couple of your friends together and have a draft (take turns) picking you favorite players if someone didnt already take them to make a team then you score points on how they do in the real life game to win money(optional)
