Are you looking for a way to make the football season even more exciting? If you’ve never tried fantasy football before, why not give it a go now? The following are some of the best places to find other people to join your league, thanks to the experience of enthusiast Javier Burillo.
Work Colleagues
This seems like the most obvious place to start looking for other players to join a fantasy football league with you. The advantage of choosing work colleagues is that they are usually people who you already have a good rapport and relationship with and a fantasy football league is a great way of enhancing this.
It is often hard to find extra-curricular activities that your workmates will enjoy. But hanging out with your colleagues after work can be a really positive thing, especially if you work in a job that requires a lot of cooperation between you all. If you know that you have a number of work colleagues who share your passion for football, this is an excellent bonding exercise, and fun at the same time!
Online Groups
You can find online communities dedicated to every conceivable niche and interest these days. Finding these groups is as easy as searching on Facebook, even Google will be able to produce a number of results for you. There will be groups dedicated to connecting people together for the purposes of a fantasy football league, but it can also be fun to start such a group with people who share another interest with you.
If you have just moved to a new area, have a look on social media to see if there are any local fantasy football groups that you could join.
Gym Buddies
If you regularly go to the gym, the kind of people you meet there are naturally more likely to be inclined towards enjoying sport. You can also use your fantasy football league as a motivational tool. For example, if one of you is trying to stick to a ketogenic diet, you could penalize a ketosis cheat day with a loss of points in the league.
Online Gaming Buddies
If you play online games, you may well have picked up a number of friends along the way. Online gamers tend to be competitive, which makes these people perfect for starting a fantasy football league with. Even if the game that you met playing has nothing to do with football, these will still be people that you know you get along well with. You don’t need to be near one another physically in order to start a fantasy football league together, take advantage of modern technology!
Local Meet Ups
There are a number of places that you can find out about local meet ups and other groups of people who might be interested in starting a fantasy football league with you. Social media is the preferred platform for doing this kind of stuff these days. Most events will advertise on social media, and many venues have their own pages that promote upcoming events.
Starting a fantasy football league is great fun, but it can be very frustrating when you can’t find enough people to start a league with. The internet can help to connect you with other potential players, making it relatively simple for anyone who wants to start their own league to do so.
