Fantasy Postseason Futures

     Fantasy Postseason Staff

Contacting support and league IDs

     Fantasy Postseason Staff

Please always include your 5 digit league ID when contacting support - it will make your life easier (and ours).  The 5 digit ID can be found at the end of your league's URL, or can be found at the top of Settings / View League Settings.  Thank you!


Activating offline leagues

     Fantasy Postseason Staff

Our recommendation is to always activate an offline league before the first game's schedued start time.  If a commissioner attempts to activate a league after the first game's scheduled start time, they are prompted once to apply retro scoring which will apply scores to games that have already started.  If the prompt is declined, there is also an option on the Admin menu after activation (that should only be used one time).


Salary Cap and Full Lineup Required

     Fantasy Postseason Staff

Please note that we made 'Full Lineup Required' the default this year in salary cap leagues (as this was requested by the majority of our leagues).

If you wish to turn that off, please email us and we will make the change (sorry, this is one of the few options that only we can make).

Update on Per Round Salaries

     Fantasy Postseason Staff

This year we added a new setting to salary cap leagues that requires managers to pick a new lineup each week based on updated salaries.  Our system pushed out new salaries as soon as the round ended without factoring in new projections associated with some outlier performances by players such as Jerick McKinnon, Giovani Bernard, and Byron Pringle.  Commissioners have the ability to make salary adjustments via 'Modify Salaries' on the 'Admin' page or can contact us at admin@fantasypostseason.com with your 5 digit league ID and we'll refresh the salaries in your league.


How to manage survivor pools

     Fantasy Postseason Staff

At Fantasy Postseason, we do not natively support playoff survivor pools.  That is, if a commish wants to eliminate fantasy teams, they will need to determine which teams to eliminate and then eliminate those fantasy teams manually.  There are a few ways to accomplish this:

(1) Remove Eliminated Teams From League

The commissioner can remove fantasy teams from the league via the 'Owner Management' page (accessed via the 'Admin' tab on the league home page).  Removed teams will no longer be able to access the league.

(2) Prevent Teams from Accumulating Further Scores

The commissioner can drop the entire roster of a fantasy team via the 'Roster Management' page (on the 'Admin' tab).  Empty rosters will not score additional fantasy points.  Note that in a league that allows free agency (or additional player pick ups) the commissioner will need to take additional action to prevent eliminated managers from adding...

Menu Pinning

     Fantasy Postseason Staff

We've added a new 'Menu Pinning' option under 'Edit My Fantasy Leagues List' (which is found on the User Profile page in the Account Management section). This allows for the option to show or hide leagues in the drop-down under the user name in the top right. Note that the default behavior is to show your 3 most recent fantasy leagues. With this new feature, you can decide what leagues are made available for quick drop-down access. This is useful if you belong to several fantasy leagues.

 


Adding Fantasy Postseason to Your Mobile Device Home Page

     Fantasy Postseason Staff

A few years ago we discontinued support of our iOS mobile app and focused on building a responsive UI that works well across all different platforms. While this decision has allowed us to consolidate our engineering focus and speed up the delivery of features, we do recognize that an extra step is required to access Fantasy Postseason via a mobile browser.  However, there is indeed a way to add Fantasy Posteason to your mobile device home page, saving you a step.  Check out the following instructions based on your particular mobile device:

iOS devices (MacRumors)

Android devices (wikiHow)

Note that if you want direct access to a particular league for easy access to check scores, etc, we suggest short-cutting your postseason fantasy league's home page to the home page of your mobile device. That way, when you click on the FP icon, you'll be sent directly to your fantasy league's home page.

NFL Playoffs: New Round Waiver Time

     Fantasy Postseason Staff

With the NFL adding a Monday night playoff game, we are pushing back the waiver time for 'Per Round' leagues from Wednesdays at 8 AM eastern to 8 PM eastern.  This will allow for 12 more hours of decision making after the Monday game, and allow time to scout the Wednesday injury reports.  We plan to make this a permanent switch.


New Abbreviations Page

We've made a number of updates for this upcoming football fantasy postseason.  

  • Auction drafts - a new way to draft postseason players via a live bidding process. 
  • Team Kickers - in addition to team quarterbacks and team defense and special teams, we have added team kickers as an optional roster position configuration.

  • Abbreviations - we've created a helpful guide to assist with acronyms used by Fantasy Postseason.

We have deprecated support of Silent Drafts - but note that a similar...
