Fantasy To Reality -------- 5 Hardcore Strategies For Delivering Long-Lasting Fantasy Beat-Downs

1. Don't get stuck keeping the same line-up throughout the season; that's like driving in the right lane in dense traffic when the left lane is clear. Sure, your fantasy studs should remain in your line-up week to week. But the others should be shuffled in and out. When to shuffle them in and out? Read on.
2. Mediocre players shine against weak defenses just as much as star players shine against great defenses. Whether it's football (defenses), baseball (pitchers), or another sport, find which players are about to face the worst defenses in that league. Then review their stats, analyze their motivation, and determine whether they belong in your line-up. How do you analyze motivation? Read on.
3. Players play better when they're motivated. With the Internet, you can read the hometown paper of any team in any professional sports league. If you're targeting an underperforming team or its players, read what that paper is writing about them. It seems like every week there's talk about whether veteran Pitcher A is past his prime after giving up 6 runs a game in his last 3 starts, and how in his next start he vows to prove his critics wrong . . . or how #1 Wide Receiver B hasn't been involved enough in his team's offense, so he makes a public statement that his team needs to get him the ball. These are the guys you want to zero in on for the upcoming week.
4. and 5. We'll save these for later. If we're going all the way, we should get to know each other first. . . .
