Major Updates to the Trade Analyzers

The trade analyzers have undergone a major update to bring in the new year! Now you can easily see the impact of trades based on the league(s) you have synced. The trade analyzer will automatically detect which league is involved in the trade. Have a look at our full blog post for more information.

Below is a sample of what you might see, depending on your sport of course.

Fantasy Assistant Has Two New Features

The Fantasy Assistant has two additional features that are already live!

The first feature incorporates predictive stats and analyzes player categories. Those of you in category based leagues will absolutely love this feature since you will be able to easily pinpoint which players contribute or hinder particular categories. For now it is limited to NBA but will expand to MLB when spring rolls around. Read the entire blog post about it.

The second new feature incorporates waiver wire trends right inside of the fantasy assistant. You will see a new link called “Trends” right next to “settings” inside the fantasy assistant. It works exactly like the full-screen trends pages with a bit more customization.

Now for the rest of the changes:

Revamped Top Rankings layout, now added for baseball, football, hockey, and basketball. (This was a long-time coming)
Improved accuracy on own/start trends.
Various bug fixes for the fantasy assistant.

Waiver Alerts and More

November has turned out to be a big month in terms of features and news for the site. We released a major new feature called Waiver Alerts and I strongly encourage you to read our full blog post about it. Spread the word to your friends and give it a try. 🙂
