It’s been awhile since my last weekly release notes post. There is no real need for it at the moment, and I may go back to it at a later point in time. So for now I’ll have random posts listing a few of the more important features.
The biggest changes to the site are for the fantasy assistant. Many of you want more options for suggestions to include the best available hitter or pitcher. As of today you are now able to find the best available hitter regardless of position, or best pitcher. This feature has been most requested by users and I am happy to finally deliver it. Check out what the new suggestions area looks like:
There have been a few other changes as well. Normally in a fantasy league, you’ll see a collection of your team’s stats based on the guys that you played in your starting lineup. This is important mainly for Roto leagues where you are ranked in each category. Those stats are freely available on your fantasy site, so there is little use to duplicate them on FantasySP.
So I decided to come up with Adjusted Team Stats for Pitching and Hitting. These team stats are based on your entire roster RIGHT NOW. Any time you add/drop a player, your team stats change based on your new player acquisition. We are not looking at their performance numbers since being on your team, but rather the entire season. This may be useful when trying to figure out where your team may end up in 2 months based on your current roster. Here is what it looks like when browsing your fantasy team roster:
There have also been a few tweaks to the accuracy of player suggestions. Hitters specifically should return more accurate results.
Other small updates to the site:
We have added a Top 100 Fantasy Baseball listing. You can sort by our FSP player rating metric to find out who we think are the best players. You can also sort by a specific category such as stolen basis or WHIP. All of these stats can be grabbed based on position and number of days.
Another highly requested feature has arrived on the mobile site. The ability to mark transactions and/or News as read is now available.
