Many of you are about to enter the playoffs in your NBA fantasy leagues.  I wanted to make sure you had the best experience possible come playoff time with the fantasy assistant.  A new category has been added: “Free Throw Percentage”.  All other category based waiver wire suggestions for the NBA have improved accuracy.

Best of luck in the playoffs!  And please do join a fantasy baseball league this summer!

A major update hit the fantasy assistant today.  It involves position based analysis for ALL sports.  I devoted a full blog post detailing what this means and what the future holds.

There have been a few minor changes to the fantasy assistant that are worth noting.    Injury icons are now shown for injured players so you are aware they are listed on the injury report.   This should help alleviate confused users as to why some guys are recommended who have no shot of coming back anytime soon.

Additionally I added the faceoffs won category for NHL fantasy leagues in the Fantasy Assistant.  It has been requested by users and I am glad to oblige. 🙂

Fantasy hockey season is just starting to heat up now that it is approaching mid to late February.  I wanted to make sure that hockey fans got the same feature updates that the NBA and NFL already received.  This long awaited update is for you!

The changes shown here apply to the Fantasy Assistant, Hockey Trade Analyzer, and the newly released NHL Start/Sit tool to help with start/sit decisions.

• Fantasy Assistant has the ability to look for the best available LW/C/RW and D.
• When searching for waiver wire suggestions, the Fantasy Assistant has support for the following categories: goals, assists, powerplay goals, shorthanded goals, shots on goal, hits, wins, and shutouts.
• More in depth stats are shown under waiver wire suggestions for all players.
• Much improved accuracy for player ratings, including 6 new statistical categories that are now analyzed.
• NHL Start/Sit tool has been launched to help you to set lineups.

As always, if you need more categories for the fantasy assistant or notice any bugs please make a comment here or email me directly.

The Fantasy Assistant for the NBA just got a whole lot better.  Fantasy basketball players are involved in a wide range of leagues these days.  Some play in straight H2H leagues with points, while others play in leagues where categories decide the winner.  These latest batch of updates will make both of you very happy.

• Accuracy of Low Risk & High Risk waiver wire pickups has been improved.
• Ability to select best available SF/PF/C or PG/SG to replace any player you have on your team.
• New category based recommendations include: PPG, AST, RPG, and FG%.

If you guys need more categories added then I am sure I will hear from you soon enough.  Also, expect to see similar enhancements like these for the upcoming baseball season.  That’s right!  BASEBALL!

UPDATE: Jared wanted more categories (see comments below).  New categories include 3PM, 3P%, and BLK.
