Making Your Fantasy Football Message Board Fun

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....
For some people, simply playing fantasy football will be enough for them to enjoy it, as they will not really care what league they are playing in or who else is in their league, as long as they are getting to play fantasy football, but for others, the thing that will make fantasy football especially fun is the camaraderie built through interacting with and competing against a group of their close friends. Getting the guys in the league to all participate in the message board together is one of the best ways to promote "interaction and competition" in fantasy football - but if you are wanting to get all the guys to participate in the message board, it will be important for you to realize that it will not happen naturally, unless you know how to promote such interaction.

If you want to get message board banter and participation going, the most obvious approach is to start different discussion threads each week; these discussion threads can be related to the league, to football in general, or to fantasy football, just so long as you can come up with something that others will enjoy chiming in about.

Another idea to consider is creating "Power Rankings" to post on the message board every week; post these Power Rankings in the same way such sites as ESPN do, giving each team's ranking in order, and giving a humorous or clever reason behind your having ranked them in that particular position.

And because of the huge role that statistics play in fantasy football, one thing that is a lot of fun is to explore some statistics in your message board posts - but rather than simply exploring stats that relate directly to fantasy football, you should also explore stats that relate to your league specifically, as you just might find that this creates the most discussion and banter of all!

Of course, fantasy football can still be fun even without these things, but if you have a fantasy football league with people you are close to, it can become a whole lot more fun if everyone participates in weekly message board banter.
