Why is fantasy sports so much fun?
Be an active manager
As a fantasy player you’re engaged with your team and the sport in general. You convert your (previously passive) knowledge about the sport (eg. by following news) into managing decisions for your fantasy team. And these actions have consequences. You become an active participant.
Invested in each match
You previously might never have considered following lesser important matches. But now you might have one or more fantasy players that are playing. Once you have a fantasy team, you can’t watch a game without being somehow invested.
Banter and bragging rights
Fantasy sports is all about banter and bragging rights. You want to compete and defeat your friendly league rivals (friends, colleagues, family). That dynamic makes fantasy sports an inherently social experience.
Example: the Sporza Wielermanager fantasy cycling game.
A fan picks the best spring classics cyclists within a budget of 100M. Each race he earns points based on their real-life performances such as race finish place.
Applicable to all sports.
