Your support makes all the difference.Form is a key element for picking the right players at the right time in your fantasy football team.
The best fantasy football managers use a simple formula to calculate a player's form. PPG6 (Points per game in their last 6 games). A player's total fantasy football points from their last six games, divided by six.
Many players will experience a purple patch during the season, and even the best players suffer a dip in form at times. The trick is to anticipate these transitions and act accordingly.
