The spring is here and baseball season is in its infancy. What better time to announce a Spring Site Update? So lets get to what I have been working on here at FantasySP:
- Smarter Player Search
Searching for players in the “Player Search” box will now provide the closest matches if you happen to misspell a name. Which means, you no longer have to wait for auto complete. The player search also allows you to type in some partial names such as “Jet” and press enter for Derek Jeter and get taken directly to their page.Thanks to user rash for these suggestions.
- Import Fantasy Teams
The ability to import fantasy teams to player tracking has finally arrived. We are proud to have the easiest roster import feature around. There is no need to fuss with exporting your teams to an excel spreadsheet. To import a roster, simply copy and paste your Lineup page into a text box and click submit. Yes, its really that easy. We will sift through all of the extra stat values and garbage data and just add the player names. This will work for any of our 7 sports featured on the site.Take a look at an example here. To access the import feature, log in and click on the “import” link in the control panel.
- MLB Weekly Surprises
We are introducing a new feature called MLB Weekly Surprises that showcases some of the lesser known players around the league that are performing well. We analyze player trends and stats from the past 7 days to come up with a list of players that even the experts might have overlooked. These feature players can be sorted by position.This feature is for members of the site only.
- Server Upgrades and Optimizations
The server upon which the website is hosted on has gotten some major upgrades. I have also spent the past month analyzing and optimizating problem spots for the site. This means a faster more responsive site for you. - MLB Trade Analyzer Updates
It has been almost a year since the fantasy baseball trade anaylzer was built and it is now better than ever. I have updated countless algorithims and added new stats to be analyzed to help rate players. This will of course be an ongoing process throughout the baseball season. - New Section: Soccer
Last but not least, the Soccer section has arrived to FantasySP. Whether you are looking to keep track of players from the English Premier League or Major League Soccer, we’ve got it covered. There are some Soccer fans out there!
