Book Reviews of Winning Fantasy Football
Book Review: If you want to take the game seriously, start by reading this book.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want cheat sheets and team / player predictions, go buy a magazine and good luck! You'll be like just about every other square drafting. You'll be on your way to becoming a "shark" after reading a book of this quality.
Sometimes you need to go back to the basics. This book is one of the initial must have tools prior to drafting. It's fun and fast paced to read.
I read this book TWO years ago when I got back into fantasy football after a 13 year hiatus. (...just wish I bought the book THREE years ago before I finished in last place.) After reading the book and learning how to use research, I've finished 2nd and then 1st in a money league. Granted, luck was part of my placed finishes. However, one does get lucky by putting him/herself in position for luck.
When Nover wrote the book, the game was changing to what it is today. We have more RBBCs and passing plays than before. While the author does touch upon this topic, it should be updated based on the historic 2007 season.
The draft strategy chapter is excellent. It also has sections on auction leagues and mock drafts.
Anyway, isn't it time for a new edition Mr. Nover ?
Summary of Winning Fantasy Football
With an estimated 20 to 30 million participants, fantasy football has burst into the mainstream of American pastimes. CBS, FOX, ESPN, and ABC devote significant airtime to fantasy predictions and advice, and there are over a dozen magazines devoted solely to the subject. Despite its meteoric rise in popularity, there has never been an authoritative and comprehensive book covering all aspects of the game. Until now. In this invaluable handbook, sports writer, handicapper, and gambling aficionado Stephen Nover presents a first-of-its-kind guide for dominating your league year in and year out. First time players and fantasy gurus alike will benefit-and profit-from the hard-won wisdom, insider tips, and battle-proven strategies found here. From off-season study and draft-day strategies to team maintenance and playoff mentality, this book delves deeper than any magazine to reveal the overall strategies and underlying philosophies that win-every year.Puzzles & Games Books
