Enough for my liking, import of team from website(s) seemingly bug free, just need a 100% guarantee win the league icon ;)
Not Impressed At All

I've used the free version of FantasyPros for player comparisons, ECR Rankings and Sit / Start Projections for a few years now. This year I decided to take a chance and Pay for the Premium membership and I have to say that I Am Not Impressed At All. I'm not sure why I thought I would gain some kind of benefit but I didn't. Virtually the only upgrade you get going from Free to Paid is you can add more than two players at a time for comparison (Who Should I Start) and you can load Two (2) of your Active Fantasy Teams (from Espn, Yahoo. Etc) on the Team Playbook, which basically does Nothing but saves you a few moments of just looking them up yourself on the free. They claim to give the added benefits of; Waiver suggestions, league analysis, Top Available and Matchup ( Pulled from the "expert projections" already available for Free ). They Do Not Give you Weekly Projected Points like Espn, Yahoo, NFL, CBS Do. EVERYTHING About this site is based on the ECR( Expert Consensus Ranking ) An average number given to each position by several "Experts". So for example, If you have a list of 1-50 RBs listed with 1 being "Best" and 50 being "Worst" they take the average vote of all their Experts and that is the ECR.. So between all experts, Le'veon Bell's average Best is 1 and his average Worst is 7, and Melvin Gordon's Ave Best is 2 and Ave Worst is 8.. FantasyPros will rank Bell over Gordon.. And they use THIS for every single function, No Point Projections.. They try to sell you on the benefit of using it during your draft.. It totally screwed me up, I thought that once I linked my team it would keep track of Available, Unavailable And give me their suggestions of Best Available!? NOPE, I had to Enter in each player as they were picked and there were No suggestions unless I left my draft and went to there page.. Once I figured out that I had to maintain the live picks for FantasyPros, keep track of my own picks, navigate through Position needs, best available and Bye weeks and with only 2 minutes per pick? I just Shut FantasyPros down in disgust because in trying to maintain there crap I couldn't focus on My Draft and ended up with less of a team than I could have had if I just focused on My Draft. What A Joke. This Sight / APP is only useful in a limited "one of many tools I would use" BUT, But, It's all features that are available WITHOUT having to pay for the upgrade!? So yeah, I paid an upgrade fee for the ability to group 2 of my fantasy teams onto their site! That's Basically It.. Unless I am totally missing something, It is Totally Not Worth it and I am Extremely Disappointed.
Update

The new organization is nice but now I don’t know which articles I’ve already read. The old version was easy to tell bc unread articles were in boldface. So now I gotta scroll through all the articles to make sure there’s nothing I missed. I’ll give it 5 stars if you can remedy the problem.
