Fantasy Football for Dummies

It was a perfect gag gift for someone that came in last place in our fantasy football league!

Great Book for 1st Timers

If like me you have never played Fantasy football before this book is a must. It explains in clear easy to understand language the way to go about drafts, run your team etc. Anyone who is playing on Yahoo will find it especially useful as it is written around the Yahoo format (other leagues are covered as well). A good buy at the price & big help if you want to get maximum fun out of your 1st season.

Your first choice!

If you are thinking about playing fantasy football or even if you played a little last year and want to improve those basic skills, get this book! It is a great introduction to fantasy football. It covers everything to get you started including where to play online and look online for information on players. Many of the tips are exactly what you need to draft, manage and improve your team for a winning season. After reading Fantasy Football for Dummies, it is obvious that Martin Signore has played the game for many years and his love of the hobby shines through. Once again, the winning "dummies" format makes it easy. I am amazed at how much information he provides. Martin even discusses Auction leagues which many of todays FF books ignore. He hits all the right techniques and even includes some advanced draft strategies. I usually find the "part of tens" pages in a dummies book tedious, but Martin has provided a great Top 10 list of mistakes to avoid and perhaps even more importantly ten fixes to make to your team after draft day. The draft is not the end but instead should be the starting point for a championship team. You should constantly try to improve your team through trades and/or the waiver wire. A great manager can always look back and point out a significant improvement during the season. This is definitely the book of choice for anyone who wants an introduction to the greatest hobby of all time, Fantasy Football.

The author REALLY knows his stuff as oppossed to some of the other writers of "for dummies" books! He truly has a love for the subject and it shows! Highly recommended! :)

Amazingly helpful

I have always been curious about just what is fantasy football, and have passed up a few opportunities to join in because I lacked the confidence to join a league. Martin Signore spells out all of the ins the outs the dos and the don'ts in a very easy and understandable way. I can't wait for the season to start and hone in my newfound skills!
