First of all fantasy football is a game in which participants assemble an imaginary team of real life players and score points based on those players' actual statistical performance or their perceived contribution on the field of play. Usually players are selected from one specific division in a particular country, although there are many variations.
It has evolved in recent years from a simple recreational activity into a significant business due to exposure via the internet.
This funny video says all there is to know about Choosing the right players.

Greg Etafia escapes as Eagles stoned
South Africa-based duo Greg Etafia and Idah Peterside narrowly escaped serious head injuries when the Super Eagles bus was stoned by angry fans after what has been generally seen another unconvincing performance.
The Super Eagles eked out a barely-deserved 1-0 win over Mozambique with a goal deep in stoppage time by Obinna Nsofor.
The team were booed from start to finish, but the fans did not stop there, and showed their frustrations by lying in wait for the team and hurling missiles at the brand new team bus.
Both men were sitting together in the bus and one of the missiles smashed the glass.
Etafia, who had the window seat, was rescued from the incoming projectile by the blinds, while Idah, on the aisle seat, had his quick reactions to thank for getting out of the way of flying shards.

Nigeria 1-0 Mozambique
Obinna Nsofor brought Nigeria's World Cup hopes back from the dead with a late winner deep into stoppage time on Sunday in Abuja.
Nsofor headed namesake Obinna Nwaneri's desperate lunging cross into an unguarded post in the 94th minute of the 5 added by the referee.
Booed by a scanty turn-out at the start, and intermittently throughout, the Super Eagles struggled to break down the well-drilled Mambas, and could well have gone behind early if Elias Pelembe hadn't hit the crossbar after turning a retreating Elderson Echiejile.
Nigeria coach Shuaibu Amodu made seven changes to the team that started against Tunisia, and the side looked shorn of rhythm, although they still carved chances out and really should have been two goals up before halftime.
The longer the game stayed scoreless, the more confident the Mambas grew and the more raggedy the Nigerians became.
The visitors even had a cheeky spell where they put nearly 25 passes together without a single Eagle touching the ball.
As the game wore on, the Eagles began to turn the screws, but were rebuffed by stoic, disciplined defending.
Chance upon chance upon chance were created but goalkeeper Rafael Joao was having a blinder of a game along with his defenders, and the Eagles could find no way through, and looked in danger of elimination until Nsofor's last-gasp winner. http://www.kickoff.com/static/news/article.php?id=11574
