✅

You should pass *args and **kwargs when constructing your form.

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    super(FantasySeasonForm,self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
    ...

By missing out *args, your current code has the same effect as if you did fantasyTeamForm = FantasySeasonForm(data=None). Even though there are no errors, is_valid() returns False because the form is not bound to any data.

As an aside, you can loop through the player fields to avoid repetition:

for player_id in xrange(1, 16)
    field_name = "player%d" % player_id 
    self.fields[field_name].queryset = Player.objects.filter(team__competition__pk=2)
