Big Updates! Save Mock Drafts and Lineup Calculator Teams

Kevin Day, August 4th, 2008

I’m pleased to announce new additions to the site.  You can now keep track of your mock drafts and save teams in the Lineup Calculator. It’s all part of the 2008 membership package. To get started now, click here.

Mock Drafts

As a member, your mock drafts will be automatically saved for you and will appear in your user page. The Lineup Calculator is used to automatically calculate a predicted score for each team that you draft. In your user page, you can sort the drafts by best projected fantasy score and filter by league size or draft position:

In the table there is a link to the original draft and a color-coded list of your first eight picks for convenience. It’s pretty handy for evaluating draft strategies.

Additionally, clicking on the team name imports the drafted team directly into the Lineup Calculator for further analysis.

Since it’s never too early to think about the playoffs, the average fantasy points for weeks 14 - 16 are included in the table as well.

Lineup Calculator

A membership also includes the ability to save unlimited teams in the Lineup Calculator. Your saved teams are kept separate from your drafts in the user page. During the season, the projections will be updated daily to reflect injuries and recent performance.

If you haven’t tried the Lineup Calculator yet, it’s an easy-to-use tool for evaluating all sorts of scenarios about your lineup. You can evaluate trades, adds, drops, and draft strategies.

Before the season starts, the Lineup Calculator will be upgraded to let you edit the scoring system. At the moment it still uses the default settings. So if you have a PPR league or a 2-QB league, you won’t have to wait much longer. IDP will not be supported, however.

Get Started!

The membershp only costs $12.95 for the entire season. That’s less than $1 per week to gain an advantage in all of your leagues. Sign up now!

Hey nice job my friend. I love the new additions and the ability to put names into a team in the calculator without deleting all of them to start is fantastic. thanks so much, and I plan on using this when I draft my main team in my main league. thanks so much

stephan on

@ j norris: his site is fantastic and you can still mock draft for free. He has added the ability to save your line ups and change them during the year and see what a change will do for your team. If you don’t like the site, then by all means go to your other free site (by the way this site is still free for the mocks) and stay away from here. Thanks and have a great season, elsewhere.

stephan on

@j norris: Yes, like stephan said, the mock drafts are still completely free and that’s not changing. This is an extra feature and isn’t required to use the drafts at all.

Hey guys…just paid….Paypal verified it…yet no access to the upgrades…..it keeps asking me to pay again to “complete” the registration process….Could you help please…

thanks,
R

Ryan on

Btw…I did verify my email account as the final step….

Ryan on

@Ryan: You’re right there was a glitch, but your payment was received. I’ve updated your account to reflect your payment. I’ll follow up with you via email also. Sorry for the trouble.

Will it be possible in future years to upload our own scoring system and required starters in order to do a more realistic draft? What we have here is great, but it is generic to 1 scoring system..just wondering..keep up the great wotk guys

glenn on

@glenn: In the future, there will be additional scoring systems. Most likely there will be public drafts for PPR and Flex lineups, and maybe 2QB or IDP as well. Then, private drafts would be available to give even more control over the scoring system and starters. Since training camp has already started, I don’t think these options will be done in time for most people’s drafts this season unfortunately.

There are a lot of mock drafting tools out there right now, and quite simply, yours is the best with its ease of use and intuitive presentation that really lets you see at a glance what your next move should be during a draft. Your friends at fantasymojo.com are proud to sign up as paying members! Big Fans!

If were allowed one wish, a “nice to have” would be to have the drafts categorized by league type PPR, Standard, etc. That seems to be one thing that keeps coming up in the chat rooms.

Keep up the great work!

Darren on

Please contact me. I registered and paid through Paypal, but this payment wasn’t acknowledged in your system and I kept being asked to pay again. Help!

Dave on

@Dave: Sure, no problem. We’ll get it worked out.

Kevin Day on

@Darren: Thanks. Glad you and the guys at fantasymojo.com like the mock drafts. Keep up the good work with your site.

Kevin Day on

Kevin,
Thanks for taking care of my problem so quickly. I really appreciate your help and I really enjoy using your great site!

Dave on

Hi, there is a glitch. I tried to do a free mock draft and everytime I hit “join” it took me to a completed mock draft page. Please email me if u can correct this error. Thanks.

have you thought about allowing your mock draft tool to be used for members in there live drafts? in other words, allowing me to populate the entire draft manually using your mock draft tool?

jon on

@jon: I’m working on that now actually. I hope to have it done soon. I’ll keep you posted.

Kevin Day on

Hey- I gladly paid. I have used this site for 3 years and really appreciate your efforts, thanks. It is a step above any other mock draft site I have tried.

Are you ever going to allow saving a draft rankings? I promise to pay you every year if you can do that. I really hate scrambling to enter a custom ranking every draft again and again and again and again. I would love to just have it there saved for tweaking. That is worth more to me than any of the rest of the pay content.

I kind of mis-read and thought you offered that w/ paid membership this year. My bad, I have no regrets paying. I’ll evaluate the rest of the content as the season goes. But seriously… you will have my business going forward with a rankings save.

Two side notes- should I have received any emails from you guys confirming membership? Everything works, just nothing in the inbox at all. Spam filtered?

Next, any chance of an ip reporting/ban for the 13 yr olds that draft all TE’s to be funny? Kinda goes with saving ranking… you spend 10 minutes setting a ranking and some little wanker makes it all worthless by the 6th pick. Not your fault, but that blows.

Then the show in the next 6 drafts and do the same…

It would really be nice to report/ ban ppl who don’t draft seriously. Maybe a 15 min ban on a reported IP, 3 reports lifetime ban? One year ban? Anything to make them go away.

Thanks for your attention and a great site. Glad you are taking it to the next level.

cw on

@cw: Great suggestion about the custom rankings. It’s too late to add that this year, but that shouldn’t be too hard to add next year. You’re right that it is a pain to have to scramble around in the draft when the players could already be in the right order.

I will improve the banning procedure next year to make it much more automated and quicker to ban people similar to how you mentioned. Short bans initially with permanent bans for repeat offenders.

Glad you are happy so far and I’ll keep working to improve the site even more.

Kevin Day on

Thanks so much. I hope lot of continued success for you. What you have is really nice has been of great help to me since finding. As I said, well worth it.

Hi, just wondering how to best use the lineup calculator to help with my weekly lineup predictions. I’m trying to understand the different colors - is there a key?
I was unable to find help on the site.

Thanks.

Sheryl,

Sorry for not having enough documentation. There is one page here with an example: http://fantasyfootballcalculator.com/lineup_info.php

but I’m working on more comprehensive help pages.

In short, you can set your lineup based on the players that are projected to score the highest for those positions that week.

It’s not explained clearly, but the colors indicate the position of the player and the shading indicates if it is a good, average, or bad week for him. If the cell is dark, the player is projected to have an above-average game. If the cell is shaded lightly, he’s projected to have a below-average game.

You can shoot me an email at FFCalc@gmail.com if you have additional questions.

Kevin

Kevin Day on

Excellent! Thanks for the quick response.
