1Getting Started in the world of Fantasy Sports App
2Let's start by understanding what this game is
about. A fantasy sport (aka rotisserie or roto)
is a game that allows fans to play a virtual game
or virtual season of a real sport played by real
people.A fantasy sport app user creates a
virtual roster of real players via an app or a
website. In this roster they pick the players
from different teams (say Liverpool or Chelsea)
to make a virtual team of their dreams. Now
selection of these players depend on the user's
research, analysis, or intuition of how
individuals are going to perform in the season.
This process of player selection is called a
Draft.
3- There are different modes in a Fantasy game app-
- Daily weekly
- Scoring-based
- Draft-based
- League-based
- Conduct a user research to know what your
audience wants and then plan the functionalities
and types of games you'd like to get developed.
It's imperative to have clarity as it reflects in
your budget.
4The real-game performance statistics of the
chosen players are converted into fantasy points.
These points are then used to examine the
standings of the participating fantasy teams on
the leaderboard. This work is performed by a Team
Manager that is assigned to every team.There is
also a League Commissioner who monitors the
overall league by tracking, compiling, and
calculating actual results of the professional
sport.The performances of the fantasy teams can
be easily tracked via different websites and
mobile applications.

sections or segregation for different players,

achievements to encourage sharing and engagement.
