We explained the basic principle of fantasy sports above and in essence it really is that simple. There are fantasy sports leagues for many different sports, with the most popular being US football, baseball, basketball and soccer.

Regardless of the sport involved, the concept is the same; you have to create a team of players which scores points based on those players performances in actual matches.

There are rules about how you go about picking players and how points are scored, and these rules do vary depending on what league you’re playing in and what the relevant sport is.

Baseball players will obviously earn points in a very different way to soccer players. Baseball players will earn points for things like hitting home runs while soccer players will earn points for things like scoring goals or creating assists.

In terms of the rules for picking players, these will usually include things like only being able to pick a certain amount of players from one single team and having to pick players in different positions.
