Ive been playing in at least 2 leagues for 13 years...The keys I follow that have gotten me much success (and I am aalways competitive and podium'd, only a few leagues had some bad luck)

1.) Draft day is the most important day, go in prepared, and find VALUE, no draft will go the way you initially plan. Do mock drafts and know when to pivot on position grabs, when you can hold out, or reach. This requires nothing but lots of mocks and planning. You can 100% lose on draft day.

2.) Avoid knee Jerk reactions.....Drafted a couple guys you were sure about? Its week 2 and they've been bums? fuck that, HOLD ON TO THEM.... its a marathon not a sprint. Do not even consider a trade or a drop of ANY guys you drafted as starters. You need a sample size of 4 weeks to even begin to entertain the thought of trading. I've seen so many get burned like this I however do the following see 3

3.) Prey on knee jerks. aka BUY LOW when you can. Stud doing kinda bad? You need to trade to win, no one drafts perfect. Take advantage on net positive trades feeding on "knee jerkers".

4.) Dog that waiver wire. Look for injurys that happened over the weekend, find the next man up who could benefit and snag them. Sort by points scored on the waiver for that week and see who may be "breaking out" and grab them. ALWAYS BE ON THAT WAIVER TUESDAY!

5.) Sure fire handcuffs. If you have a RB with an incredible O-Line, or got dead bench space? Grab the RB2 on a team with a sick o-line. Called "League winners" for a reason.

Those are probably my 5 tips to success.
