When playing one-day fantasy soccer you can't employ the same tactics you do in Fantasy Premier League, and this is one of the main reasons why.

One-day fantasy in a wide range of sports is becoming more and more popular. Drafting an entire team that needs to last you the entire season, barring trades and waivers of course, can be a pretty daunting task. You may even be left with a dud or two that you simply can't shift because there's no one better out there.

With one-day fantasy, and in particular the pioneers of the format DraftKings, that isn't an issue. Picked a few duds on day one? Forget about it because it's time to pick a whole new team for day two. DK gives you the opportunity to wipe the slate clean every single day and not have terrible picks hanging over you for months and months.

What you need to bear in mind if you're new to DK or thinking of giving it a go is how different the point scoring system is. If you're playing fantasy soccer on the site and you pick your squad as if you were still playing Fantasy Premier League, you will get shown up. Trust us, we at TheSportster found that out the hard way. Luckily, we recently caught up with DK soccer analyst Jordan Cooper who gave us the lowdown on how the scoring system differs from regular fantasy soccer on DK.

Whereas normal fantasy soccer relies mainly on goals, assists and clean sheets, DK goes into a lot more detail. "DraftKings has fouls drawn. Richarlison drew seven fouls last game, well that's seven points," Cooper explained to TheSportster, "if Richarlison draws seven fouls and has two shots on goal, that's the equivalent of scoring a goal without scoring one." You also rack up points for crosses, and that includes corners and free kicks, providing they aren't taken short. A cross is worth 3/4 of a point, no matter what the source.

If you're a DK novice like we were prior to our interview with a DK soccer expert, then you now realize how intricate the site's soccer system is. There is so much more to take into account when selecting your squad and remember, you're picking a team of eight players rather than a starting XI and four subs. The above really is just the tip of the iceberg, though. If you want to know more, be sure to give Jordan Cooper a follow on Twitter @blenderhd and obviously @DraftKings too while you're at it.
