Fantasy sports have already 'captured' fans of various sports in the USA and Europe. Scrolling through football publics on social networks or just in conversations between fans, you can often hear phrases like 'I’ll add Messi to my Fantasy team' or 'Neymar brought me a lot of points in Fantasy today.'
At first glance, this might seem like a simple game, but it is much more than that. Fantasy sports not only offer entertainment, but also present opportunities to earn substantial amounts of money. In the USA, tournament budgets for Fantasy sports reach tens of millions.
In Fantasy sports, a team is made up of real athletes within a given budget. The rules for team composition may vary depending on the platform, but the basic principle remains the same. Each player is assigned a budget, and they must select the best players for their team within that budget.
While Fantasy football is the most popular, there are many platforms dedicated to various other sports as well.
Once you have selected your players, the next step is to track their performance in real life. Your Fantasy team's score is determined by the performance of the selected athletes during actual games.
Each Fantasy sports platform has its own set of rules for scoring points based on the actions of athletes. Therefore, it’s crucial to familiarize yourself with the platform's specific scoring system before you begin playing.
