5 Things That Fantasy Sports Players Hate

5. Star Players Under-Performing

In every competition, there is always a star player, the player that you can rely on week in week out to put the big score. For many the player is the first one picked and others are picked around them. They are the star player for their team in the competition, and the first one picked which makes them a reliable selection in fantasy. Barring an unfortunate injury that sidelines the player, there is nothing more frustrating then when the player you are relying on the most cracks and has a poor game right when you need them to stand up. Often with the scoring systems, the difference between winning and losing can be the performance of your star player. Especially in systems in which star players who can be rewarded double points for the efforts in fantasy football games that has a captain system. Often can mean that a captain playing a bad game can often hurt a club more than an average player letting the team down. However, a star player can have a bad game., they are often targeted by opposition players and can be taken out of the game. This can be incredibly frustrating for fantasy coaches, who are completely powerless in these situations, find themselves yelling at the television, in the crowd or at their computer as their player has no effect of the game and their match up is essentially over.
