Fantasy football is like a culture of its own. You’ve most likely heard it being talked about around the office as colleagues make their bets, or with family and friends who are drafting their own fantasy football teams. Or you may have simply decided that owning your one NFL team is a little unrealistic…

Whatever it is that brought you here to learn about getting started with fantasy football, learning the ins and outs of drafting your own team before you get started is a good way to start on a successful foot.

Ready to get your dose of daily fantasy football? Whether you’re joining your colleagues in hasty bets or plan on shocking your friends with your new fantasy football wins, let’s dive in with everything you need to know about NFL fantasy football.

Creating your NFL fantasy football team

First of all, you need to decide if you’re going to be creating a team with people you know, or whether you’re going to join a public team. Both are good options but if you’re creating a team of your own then you should have around 8-10 teams (one player is one team).

Tip: It’s easier not to have an odd number of teams as this will make scheduling difficult.

If you opt to join a public team then you will join an NFL fantasy football site where random players can join your league. If you’d like to be more in control of your team, it’s better to try to join a team with people you know.

Create your team names

Now for the fun part. Every player must submit the name of their team. While you can be creative here, remember that you’ll be stuck with this name for the entire season so it’s a good idea to think about it. Some top things to consider when naming your NFL fantasy football team include:

Play on words

When choosing your team name, remember that it directly represents your team and hints at your seriousness/ abilities in the fantasy football world. If you choose something ridiculous, every time there’s a victory, your teammates will only be focused on sniggering at your name.

However, if you have a killer team name then your opponent is already going to feel intimidated before you even have a victory. It’s pretty sound logic to us.

Use a nickname… but effectively

The rules for this one are that the nickname cannot be self-imposed. That wouldn’t be fair right? Again, you can use your creativity here and decide on the nickname people use the most.

By doing this, it also makes it easier for everyone in the group to know who you are. Ever had one of those group chats where everyone’s using ridiculous nicknames and you never know who is replying? That’s why a common nickname is a great idea!

 Innuendos

Innuendos can be fun, but make sure to keep them a little PG. Innuendos that come across as overly sexual or offensive could be a problem and won’t help your reputation in the fantasy football team very much.

Drafting your team

Now it’s time to do one of the most important things in the game, drafting your team! The way it works is that each week, you will begin by drafting players to start filling your lineup. Once the drafted NFL player begins a game, they are stuck in your lineup – so it’s important to get the decision right.

It’s up to you to remember if your player has a game or to get them off the bench, but if you forget then again, you’re stuck. You will only get points for starting the game every week, rather than getting paid every time you draft a new player.

The action

Your team will get a point for every stat played in the game. Before you kick-off, you will need to pay an entry fee. This can be split between all the players by taking it out of the pot (the winner’s money in the middle of the table).

Bear in mind that you can also lose points as well as gaining them. This is also something to keep a note of when re-drafting your team so you can make a more calculated decision.

Top tips for drafting your NFL fantasy football team

• Do your research before you get started. There’s nothing worse than drafting a team of players that don’t perform – only realising you can’t change them yet.
• Stay on top of the latest news. As well as following the NFL on the news and on social media platforms, it’s worth checking daily fantasy football sites for up to date predictions on games and players.
• Look for trends. Many sites offer insights and statistics on what is happening, allowing you to make more accurate predictions and decisions on who you should draft to your team. And this means more success.
• Don’t draft injury-prone players. Remember that whatever happens out there will directly affect your fantasy football team. So no matter how much you like them, just don’t do it.

Now that you know the ins and outs of creating your very own NFL fantasy football team, it’s time to find a team and start drafting your players!

It may be impossible for you to find that special someone to spend the rest of your life with. A full time job, going back to school, or even kids may hold you back. Dating apps are perfect for you to get out there and start meeting people. No matter which app you choose, the first thing you must do is create a profile. There are six tips to create the perfect dating profile. Choose a free or paid app, check out some other profiles, pick some good photos, be honest, leave out some details, and review your profile before submitting it.

Choose a Free or Paid App

There are lots of different apps to choose from. Some are paid and some are free. The paid apps usually have the people that are more serious about finding love since they paid for the hookup apps. The free apps are great too. You just have to weed through the profiles to see who is there for the right reason. The free dating apps will have the same concept as the paid apps. The only difference would be the money. For the paid apps, some may charge yearly others my charge by the month. Once you have found someone, you will be able to cancel your subscription. You can check out the best apps in the article covered by DailyWorld.

Check Out Some Other Profiles

Whether you’re on the paid or free app, check out other profiles. This may be the first time you have ever created a dating profile. It’s important to look at the other profiles to see what they have to say about themselves. For example, look at photos and get an idea of what the different types of categories are so you will know what to expect.

Pick Some Good Photos

After selecting a username and password on hookup apps, select a good photo to put as your profile picture. This photo will be the first thing a man or woman will see as they are scrolling through different names. This photo should say a lot about you and make sure it is a photo of yourself. You don’t want to blind side anyone if you put someone else’s picture up instead of your own. Choose a photo that shows how sexy and confident you are. You could also put a picture of something you like to do. The person that clicks on it will already know something about you before reading your profile.

Honesty

Be honest in your answers when creating your profile. If you just say things that will make people interested in you in the beginning, you will have to tell the truth when it comes to dating the men or women you meet. When they find out you lied, things could end up messy. If one of the questions asks you what you do for a living and you don’t have a job, then put that you are unemployed. Another example would be if you are asked what you like to do for fun, don’t put something that you will never ever do. If you’re a homebody and you like to watch television, then put that on. It shows that you have a lot of respect for potential dates. If the person you really want to go on a date with doesn’t like you for you, then they are not meant to be your partner in life.

Leave Out Details

Don’t put your whole life story on your profile. If you do that, you may not have anything to talk about if they ask you out on a date. Leave out some surprises so you can mention it when you go out on dates. If one of the questions asks you where you grew up, don’t put that you moved five times and you are now living in this state or this country. Put only one state or one country.

Review Your Profile

When you are finished with your dating profile, look it over. Once you hit that submit button, it is published on the app. Make sure you don’t skip any necessary items, such as any blank text boxes. If you need to change your mind about anything, this stage is the time to do it. For example, if you find a better photo that best represents you, change it before your submission.

Hookup apps are great because they leave out the awkwardness of approaching someone in person. You get to skip that step and do it all on the app. Plus you get to know about the person before you decide you want to go out on a date. All you have to do is make sure your profile is perfect. Whatever you put in, will attract the right person. All you have to remember is choose a free or paid app to start your journey, check out some other profiles so you will know what to expect, and pick a great profile picture that says a lot about you. It is also important to be honest, leave out some details about your life, and review your profile after it is completed. The right guy or girl will come along.

A gaming setup is a very personal thing. It can be as simple as a TV and gaming console, or it could include multiple gaming systems, a projector, and the latest gaming chair on the market. The key to finding your perfect gaming space is being able to visualize what you want before you start adding all of the individual pieces together!

Get A Better Playmat

A good playmat can do wonders for gaming. It’s great for your mouse hand, wrist, and arm. Playmats also make gaming surfaces more comfortable. A play mat can be made out of a variety of materials: 

• carpet scraps 
• mouse pad material
• cloth fabric

Make sure the material fits you and your gaming experience. Modern playmats are made from cloth because they are more comfortable to rest your arms on while gaming. That is why people usually opt for that option nowadays. 

Make Your Space Inviting  

A nice and inviting area for gaming is a must-have for any gamer. Nothing beats the feeling of being comfortable in your own space, inviting friends over to game with you, or even just playing by yourself when you know that it’s all cozy and nice around you. Here are some ideas on how to create an inviting space.

Introducing natural elements like plants and flowers not only look good but also air out the gaming area making it more breathable. Add lighting fixtures such as lamps, candles, or anything else which creates a warm atmosphere. Use furniture pieces that aren’t too harsh-looking. Opt for something warmer instead if possible (couches work great). Bring in some clutter into your gaming area! It makes the space feel more inviting and like it’s lived-in rather than just a gaming area.

Install rugs or mats for the floor to make sure that your gaming station is not only warm but also comfortable! Put in some shelves around the room so you can display your gaming collectibles proudly without them getting lost on other surfaces. Hang up pictures of games, people playing games, or anything else which inspires you when you play video games. 

Add-In An External Keyboard For More Ergonomic Gaming

An external keyboard is an excellent gaming accessory for the gamer that spends a lot of time playing. An external keyboard is also helpful if you are used to gaming with arrow keys rather than WASD because they will have more space on the desk for both mouse and keyboard without being in each other’s way or overlapping one another (which can be annoying).

This kind of keyboard is also a low-cost option for people who don’t want to spend money on gaming keyboards which are often over $100. If you can, use gaming laptops because they usually have an external keyboard and mouse built-in so that will save up desk space and be more convenient if you’re not used to using both of these. 

Get Rid Of Cables By Using Wireless Peripherals Friends

Cables can be your worst enemy when gaming because they’re also a pain to deal with when gaming. If you want your gaming setup to be as clean as possible, you should start getting rid of cables by using wireless peripherals like gaming mice and keyboards. 

This way, you can always game without having to worry about tangling cables or accidentally tripping on them. Plus, if the battery dies out then you’ll have to deal with it again which will be an annoyance for sure.

Create A Designated Area For Games To Avoid Clutter

Storing your games away from other items will help you keep your gaming area tidy. It also means that all of the games are in one place, which is great if you have guests over to play and want them easy access to gaming. Designate an area for gaming so it doesn’t get mixed up with other clutter.  Keep all your gaming consoles together or stored away from furniture because they take up a lot of space! You’ll feel much more comfortable while playing if you do this.

1. Keep The Area Clean And Tidy So You’re Not Overwhelmed

Nobody likes to be in a messy room, so make sure to clean up the gaming area. Throw out or recycle old food wrappers and soda cans, put blankets back in their place instead of strewn across your bed (or floor), and tidy up any clothes on the ground before heading into gaming mode. It’s best to do this right after you’re done gaming for the night, grab a trash bag from under your desk chair, then use it as an excuse to have one last game!

The best way to get the most out of your gaming experience is by setting up a designated space for playing. It’s worth investing in a good playmat, and it’s important to make sure that you have plenty of room when you’re sitting down with friends or family. Add an external keyboard so that you can game without straining yourself too much, and invest in wireless peripherals like mice and keyboards if possible. Keep your area clean and tidy and avoid clutter at all costs! This way, your experience will be much more enjoyable.
