Unlike a [[SportsGame Sports]] SimulationGame like ''VideoGame/FootballManager'', Fantasy Sports are based on the actual performance of the players in the sports it's based on. Mostb egin with players {{drafting|Mechanic}} representations of real athletes for their teams, effectively working as a combination of a real sports draft and a card game. Points, winners and losers are solely based on the performance of the RealLife athletes that players have added to their teams. Generally this means you need pretty healthy knowledge of whichever real life league your fantasy league is based on. Like the actual leagues, the fantasy leagues are ubiquitous (any sport worth its salt would have at least one) and has its own season which coincides with the actual leagues. At this point even things that are in no way sporting events have had Fantasy Leagues created, perhaps most famously ''Series/TheBachelor''.

Rather, it's a catch-all term to encompass the various games where (real world) players take control of imaginary sports teams, choose the players of their teams, and compete with other people.
So what separates this from a [[SportsGame Sports]] SimulationGame like ''VideoGame/FootballManager''? It's the fact that the stats and the simulation are actually taken from the actual performance of the sports it's based on. Whatever's happening in the RealLife sporting event would also affect the leagues and the teams in these Fantasy Sports. So the players would really have to pay attention to the leagues themselves. Like the actual leagues, the fantasy leagues are ubiquitous (any sport worth its salt would have at least one) and has its own season which coincides with the actual leagues.
While there are Fantasy leagues for almost every single sport, the most notable and the most played is Fantasy [[UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball Football]], which flourishes in the United States. While their origins reach back before the Internet, most Fantasy Sports could now be considered WebGames, because so many (if not all) of the leagues are now played online.
