Live Cheat Sheets vs. Scripted Cheat Sheets

June 29th, 2010

We do mock drafts for fun, practice and learning. We spend time ranking our players, using aids and tools and seeking the magic ingredient for a fantasy football championship.

When the real draft occurs, we need the type of Cheat Sheet that helps us in OUR league with its scoring and its rules (private or public), helps picks the best overall team for the highest score and adjusts as the draft proceeds with the its own unique quirks.

In drafting for real, however,many times we seem to lack one very important aspect and that is “HELP the sucker in front of me just drafted my player”….what do I do? I’ve only got 52 more seconds!!!!

The answer to that question is not to look on your printout to see who is next, but to look at your computer and see what FSO’s Live Cheat Sheet says is the best position to choose and gives you several choices of equivalent players to fill the slot. No doubt, a system which is dynamic and helps you pick the best position and the best player at that position, depending on what is happening in your draft is so much better!!!!

This LIVE, on the spot tool is essential, if you are to top the league in January. A cheat sheet down loaded from a general source just does not meet the standards of excellence that you deserve and need. How can it? It isn’t dynamic, it isn’t set for your rules and it certainly isn’t going to adjust to the ins and outs of a live draft. That is why the Live Cheat Sheet from Fantasy Sports Optimizer is best, it does all those things.

I know the others are free and cost nothing….why because they are worth next to nothing. I give them their due in that they give you a general idea what to do, but you need specifics…..very many specifics in the right order and on a on-line and in real time basis.

FSO will deliver the goods, so visit the website and then sign up. Victory is yours in less that seven months from now. Have a great week and do some mock drafts for fun or fill out a salary cap team off the top of your head just to see what it might be, before you do your due dilligence.

Happy 4th of July!!!!

Fantasy Football Open Championship—Big Bucks

June 24th, 2010

Why I do not normally endorse fantasy football games I recommend that you check this one out. Fantasy Football Open Championship has been around awhile, so many of you are familar with it, but it is well worth the visit. FFOC offers a $1,000,000 top prize. $300,000 in cash and rest over the next 14 years. However, it is one of the most fun leagues to play in not only because of the prize, but also because each week means so much.

Fantasy Sports Optimizer offers two great fantasy tools to help in this league. The Live Cheat Sheet is a must to get you started fast and the weekly addition of Data Sense aids you in your weekly player selection. The rules for this game are unique, so it is important to read and understand them carefully. They make the use of the Live Cheat Sheet even more important.

What everyone loves about fantasy football is the fun of it. It starts with the prep work for selecting your team and builds from thereon. I remember back 15 years ago when I had my first roto team in the CDM league now known as Fanball, and it was done on the phone and through the mail….no internet.

My first team featured Jerry Rice, Barry Sanders and Troy Aikman. In the first week, Rice and Aikman got hurt and Barry had the worst game of his career. I was last in a league of 25 and I could not believe the standings when I received them in the mail. I waited all week to see my results, knowing that they would be poor, but last was well… overwhelming. It was not a great start to a fantasy career, but my pride refused to accept defeat. I finished 13th that year in my league and in the middle of the overall league. Where was FSO when you needed them?

The fantasy football season is almost upon us and player selection, drafting tools and positional analysis aids are getting ready to go. Mock drafts are important for the novice, and fun for all. Plan on taking part as soon as you are ready.

This season promises to be a great one, with numerous players moving to new teams, double headed running back combos all over the league, hot QBs and crazy receivers. Plus lots of prizes, including the big one on FFOC. Good luck to all and I hope you finish right behind Sweetness, after all second place isn’t so bad!!!!

Go Bears!!!!!

Strength Of Schedule

June 15th, 2010

This year a new level of sophistication will be noticeable among the various fantasy football tools available to the interested player. That is certainly true for Fantasy Sports Optimizer’s Data Sense.

One of the most talked about fantasy aid is the weekly Strength of Schedule data. There is nothing new about the concept of SOS, as we fantasy officinados called it. But what is new is the level to which the best products such as Data Sense use the information available. Creating and using superior data mining techniques, FSO illuminates many nuances not readily apparent to others but available to the Data Sense user.

The key, to be redundant, is SUPERIOR data mining. It is not enough to know which player does well against a weaker team, but which player does well or less well against this particular defense by position. Take for example, a great passing QB and stack him up against the number one overall defense and what do you get. Who knows, if the defense is great against the run, but only good against the pass, then the QB rating (mapped to the individual player, not just position in Data Sense’s case) for that week will be higher than playing against a weak run defense, but a great pass defense. Data Sense goes even beyond this, but I think that you get the message. Data alone is not the answer, but knowing which data is more material makes a big difference!!!

Analytical tools are important, but more important are predictive tools. That is what a superior data mining system gives you, the fantasy football player, a great predictive tool. No more shoulda, coulda, woulda with Data Sense.

Combine this with other selection tools, such as Live Cheat Sheets for drafting fantasy leagues and The Optimizer for roto and/or salary cap teams and you are on your way to a league championship. Player rankings not only include the football player himself, but also the fantasy team coach. Make sure you are Numero Uno and sign up with Fantasy Sports Optimizer as soon as the new products are available.

Have a great fantasy football season, I can’t wait and its almost Christmas season for us fantasy fans!!!!

Fantasy football, 3 weeks away!!!

June 9th, 2010

Warm up the computers, get your cheat sheets ready, sign up with Fantasy Sports Optimizer and LETS GO!!!!

It seems just a few weeks ago we were celebrating the Saints victory and now it is time to get ready for our own victories. On July 1st, the fantasy football season officially kicks off. I am really glad that the fantasy season is almost upon us.

This year, player selection tools will all be improved and this includes FSO’s player rankings(Data Sense), drafting aids (Live Cheats Sheets) and overall roto team selections tools (The Optimizer). Mock drafts can sharpen your skills and prepare for the real thing or two or 10!!!

A word to the wise, don’t ignore roto leagues this year as they still offer great prizes, lots of fun and a true test for the fantasy players who believe that their expertise is second to none. I am going to be in several roto leagues this fall and look forward seeing my name in the fantasy football hall of fame. Sweetness says he will be there too. I doubt a Bear fan could make any hall of fame, but then what do I know, I am a Charger season ticket holder. The Optimzer, combined with Data Sense will help make it a great fantasy football season.

For those who will be drafting this year, all I can say is that The Live Cheat Sheet is a necessary tool. This is a incrediable advancement in drafting aids, due to new mathmatics and technological computer advances. It is simply the best there is anywhere!!!

So as the time for fun nears remember the words of a very wise fantasy guru who said “Nothing beats winning, nothing.”

We will be changing our web page soon, so get ready for some fantasy football fun and just some plain old fantasy too.

Some early thoughts on a few Quarterbacks

June 3rd, 2010

This year we have many stars that have some baggage from 2009 or know of upcoming problems.

Let’s review a few. What do you do about Big Ben? Of course, it would help to know how long he is going to be out, but assume four weeks. Do you draft him as if he were playing 16 games and hope that your backup QB can carry the load? Probably not, but he might only fall a round or two depending on the makeup of your league. Looking at player selection rankings, it seems that so far he has not been hurt too much. There is another thought that says stay away, you are only one incident from a year off.

Speaking of QBs what about Henne and Flacco? Are they really that much better plays due to getting a good receiver added to their roster. I say see the preliminary player selecton chart and then try to pick one of these as your backup, if they are still availble in later rounds. FSO’s player rankings will be very useful here.

Mr. Kolb of the Eagles is another potential delight or disaster. Will he be a 300 yards passer as he was for his few starts last year or turn Michael Vick into a starter? Once you figure that one out, you know what to do with both QBs. In auction drafts this could be a real steal or a waste of valuable dollars. Eagle fans will have a quandry deciding on who is who.

Now to Arizona, Does Matt the USC great finally make it big or do they dream of Warner all year long? One thing for sure, the receivers are thinner in Phoenix this year and that could really hurt Leinart. Troubles are a brewing in the land of the sun, I believe.

What do you do about Donavan McNabb? New city, new coach and a lot of over paid under achieving players in DC. My guess is that DM is in for a long season until Mike starts to work his magic,,,,which usually means a balanced attack. I’ve always liked NcNabb, but not a starter this year.

Finally, there is the Oakland situation. Russell is gone and Jason Campbell is in….the question is in what? Some people are picking the Raiders as the surprise team of 2010. Last year, they did win a few good games, so I guess it is possible. I doubt it, but then I am a Bear booster, so what can you say.

Watch the mock drafts, the player selection tools and use Fantasy Sports Optimizer’s services to maximize your team while minimizing the chaos.

Go Bears!!!!
