The Rules
- Draft skills, not stats.
- Once you display a skill, you own it.
- This is not a game of precision. It is a game of human beings and tendencies.
- This is not a game of projections. It is a game of market value versus real value.
- Exercise excruciating patience.
- It is easier to be crappy than it is to be good.
- Chronically injured players never suddenly get healthy.
- Right brain dominance has a very long shelf life.
- Poor second halves don't get recognized until it's too late.
- 100% of winnings must be spent on significant others
- The two strongest forces on Earth are gravity and regression.

FIVE Reasons Why "Fantasy Expert" is the perfect stocking stuffer:
#5 - Learn how the game was played in the 1980s. Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.
#4 - Looking to start a fantasy business? Tons of tips. Some even work.

Holiday promo time! FANTASY EXPERT has racked up a bunch of 5-star reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. Since it provides no specific fantasy advice and is not time-sensitive, it would make a nice stocking stuffer gift for a friend in your league. 1/2
