We’ve all been there. You drafted well, had a great preseason, and then the games start, and things go downhill fast. Your team is losing by huge margins each week, and you find yourself struggling to make any headway in your league.
It’s a hard knock life for fantasy football players who had a bad start to the season. If you’re one of them, don’t worry – you’re not alone. Every year, a few teams get off to a rocky start. But that doesn’t mean you can’t turn things around. So what can you do to salvage your season? Here are a few tips to help get your fantasy football season.
1. Don’t Panic, Don’t Give UP
The last thing you want to do is panic. When you start feeling anxious and stressed, it’s only going to make things worse. So take a deep breath and relax. Remember, this is just a game.
Don’t give up on your team either. Just because things are going bad now doesn’t mean they will stay that way. There’s still plenty of time left in the season to make a comeback. You can do it!
2. Don’t Get Emotional
Don’t let your emotions run your transfers. Take some time before you do any transfers to think about who is really going to help your team. Getting emotional when a player has just underperformed and deciding to sell them off can be detrimental if the player was simply having an off week (and those things sometimes happen, even with elite players).
The key is not letting emotions run your decisions. Take some time before making any transfers or major changes so that you’re sure of what decision will best benefit your team in the long run.
3. Analyze Your Team and Make Changes
Once you’ve calmed down, it’s time to take a closer look at your team and see where the problems are. Maybe some of your players aren’t performing up to par, or maybe your lineup needs tweaking.
Look at your team and figure out where your strengths and weaknesses are. This will help you to determine who to start and who to bench.
4. Review and Improve Your Strategy
Did you start with a good lineup? How did you come up with your lineup? Were you just guessing, or did you have a strategy in mind? It’s extremely important that your Fantasy Football team has a solid foundation of players.
Your initial lineup should be based on reliable and consistent performers that you know will give their best from the get-go. You might not be able to predict an upset win by one team over another, but there are good ways to make sure you don’t wind up with all players from losing teams (or at least too many). Mixing it up is what’s going to help your chances!
Or better yet, get predicted lineups. This will help you know which players are going to play, who is benched, and what kind of formation or style the manager will use. The most reliable sources of predicted premier league lineups are prediction sites, social media, and sports websites.
5. Play the Waiver Wire
The waiver wire is like a treasure trove of players who have been dropped by other owners or are simply undervalued at the moment. This is where you can find some diamonds in the rough and turn them into stars on your roster! If there’s an owner out there that doesn’t want X player anymore, then take him off their hands before someone else does! You never know what kind of gold nuggets might be lying around on waivers waiting for someone like yourself to pick up…so why not try?
6. If You’re in a Desperate Situation, Make Some Trades
Sometimes all your team needs is fresh talent. You can try trading players who have been underperforming (but still have value) for ones that are performing really well right now and could potentially help turn the tide of your team’s season around.
At this point, you shouldn’t be attached to certain players. If they’re not doing well, it’s time to cut them loose.
Conclusion
In the end, dealing with a bad start is all about being flexible and making the best of a difficult situation. There’s no one perfect strategy that will work every time – it’s all about checking the player stats, reviewing your lineup, and adapting as needed. So don’t worry too much if things aren’t going well at the moment – just keep on fighting and hope for the best.
