Yahoo draft tracker update

Hey all - a few hours ago I made the newest version of the draft tracker the default option, which seems to be working a lot better than the previous V2 version, which I've now made the backup.

So, if you're in a Yahoo draft, please use the normal version, and only use the backup version if the main version is giving you trouble (if it does, please let me know, but from what I've seen, I ...

Looking for feedback from anybody who has used the Yahoo backup import and backup draft tracker options

Hey all - I recently added a backup method to import your Yahoo leagues and a backup draft tracker, both using better ways that handle hitting Yahoo's temporary API limits.

In my testing, this is the better version to draft with, but I'm needing feedback from those who have used it to validate my thoughts.

Invite to a live auction draft in 1.5 hours

Hey all - there’s 4 spot available in my H2H auction league hosted on Yahoo.

It’s standard 9-cat with 12 teams, each team with a $200 budget.

No entry fee or prize money, but it’s a very active league that I’ll personally be taking part in.

Make sure you’re available to draft in 1.5 hours time and have 2 hours to spare for the draft (auction leagues take a little lon...

FYI - a link to join our auction league will be posted in around 10 hours

Hey all - I've got a handful of spots open for an auction league I'm running (which I'll personally be in). It'll be hosted on Yahoo at 8PM Melbourne time (I think around midday for those in Europe and around 6-7PM for those in Asia). Standard 9-cat, $200 per team etc.

To make sure there's no no-shows, I'm sharing the invite link an hour before the draft starts and it'll be first-in to jo...

A few more Hashtag Basketball updates

During peak times (like the weekend before the NBA season) Yahoo's API tends to get overloaded, so, in preparation of it happening again, I've added a backup option that tries to spread out the API calls a little better.

My dynasty rankings have had a slight tweak:

Update: Standard fantasy basketball trade analyzer

Hey all - the standard fantasy basketball trade analyzer has now been updated with the 2025-26 projections. I was a bit late in loading them in because I was trying to work out how to manage the projections only being available via a subscription, so I've made two versions of the tool, and you automatically get the one you have access to when you're logged in with your account.

FAQ: What's the difference between the two different versions of the draft tracker?

Hey all - a few people have asked what's the difference between the two different versions of the draft tracker, so I've simplified the labels next to them. V2 is the latest version. The other one is a backup in case there's a problem with the main one.

Fantrax multi-division leagues

Hey all - if you're in a Locked On Fantasy Bowl league on Fantrax, can you please remove and re-import your league? It looks like Fantrax's API was having a temporary issue when some of you were importing your leagues (remember to import them as a multi-division league and select your division on the following screen).

There also seems to currently be an issue with their ADP data (returni...

VOTE: Which logo do you prefer for Hashtag Football?

Hey all - I'm currently in the middle of getting a new logo designed for Hashtag Football. The concept is to make it similar to the current Hashtag Basketball logo, feature either a helmet or football, and to incorporate a hashtag in it.

Here are the concepts so far. I need your help deciding on which one to go with.

Last minute fantasy football league - draft in around 4 hours

Hey all - just realised that I'm not in any leagues on Sleeper this year, so I've put together a last minute fantasy football league. It's a standard PPR league, with default rosters (you need to draft a kicker and DST) and default PPR scoring.

The draft is in 3 hours and 40 minutes from this being posted (9PM Melbourne time), so it's mostly suited to those in Australia / Asia / Europe. View Post

New feature: colour coded power rankings on league scouting report

When you now go to your the league scouting report (for your category league), you'll now see that the power rankings are colour coded based on the z-score of each category.

Right now, it's just on the league scouting report tool (mostly because it's doing the calculation on the fly and I want to monitor how many resources it's taking when under heavy use).
