scoring enough points to earn you enough Ws to get into your
league's playoffs. Your team is put together during a fantasy football draft -- much like the NFL draft, the fantasy players in your league will get together at a specific time and select players one by one until everyone's roster is full.

Your team's performance is based on the performance of the individual players. Again, there are differences between different fantasy football leagues, but in general the scoring system works something like this:
It is important to understand how to put together a team when you're just starting out in the world of fantasy sports.
