10 Tips & Tricks to Win Your Fantasy Football League in 2021 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 8/18

They get to, if you get off to a bad start, you know, you lose Christian McCaffrey early in the year, and now you're struggling. And you, next thing you know, you're, you're two and four, one and four. You're, you're off to a strong, off to a bad start. It's very, very common to just kind of throw in the towel, to just kind of give up. And, and, and I say, and Tim Allen says, no, never give up, never surrender. Thank you, Tim.

Thank you. Don't give up and never surrender. But here's why it's a special trick this year, because obviously it's just good advice. But one thing that I think people aren't going to be thinking about is the fact that there is an extra game this season. However you feel getting off to a bad start in years past is exactly how you're going to feel this year, exactly how your leaguemates are going to feel this year. But this year you have one...

extra week before your fantasy playoff start. So when we've had people say, oh, I was 0 in 5, and then I went and I made the championship, this year we're going to have people saying I was 06, and I took home the trophy. This year, more than any other year, if you commit to just pushing through a bad start, if a bad start happens, you will be fine.

Make the right waiver wire moves. Make the right start sit. Stick with the show through the year and you're going to make the playoffs. You're going to have a chance at winning the trophy. Well, and you think about it, other people aren't going to follow that advice. Exactly. Other people are going to resign themselves. They're mentally weak. Or we've seen what's crazy too is we've seen maybe I'll jam this advice in here too.

we've seen people in like dynasty formats like just sell so soon too early like it's like two weeks go bad and it's like we're rebuilding and then guess what three or four teams are out of contention for the playoffs at that point they're trying to buy a game yeah and yeah they win a game on accident and they're trying to buy so there's an aspect of patience right there's an aspect of not overreacting there's an aspect of like i've done all this legwork for the last four months preparing for my draft or preparing for the season

Maybe just breathe. And then the extra game gives you one more week of breathing. And then you could take advantage of those leaguemates that decided to tilt. And the last thing I'll throw in there. I get it. It's hard. When you start 0 and 4 and it sucks. It feels really bad. One loss is just you feel that all week. And so I totally understand that that is the natural.

The human nature of starting 0 and 4 and 0 5, well, it's done. So we're not saying that this tip is easy. We're just saying stick with it. Be strong. Hold on because you can turn it around. That's right. We're just saying when you say I'm going to give up. No. Never give up. Never surrender. No. All right. That'll do it for our top 10 tips and tricks show. Another one in the books.
