Draft dominator- Footballguys.com DONT USE!!

Postby black_swan » Wed Aug 16, 2017 9:31 pm

I created a free Footballguys.com account so I could test try draft dominator.

It looked good so I decided to pay so I could access the ESPN ADP data (auto upload) which is advertised. It didn't work and after a few messages with customer service, over a couple of week, I get this today :(

Hi

It looks like I'm afraid this is not going to happen this year. My apologies for the inconvenience. We absolutely have to ensure we have this data for next year.

thanks,

Draft Dominator is a good tool, the math it uses is the same way I would rank players, and it is particularly useful in a weird league format (it's great with auction values). But ultimately it is only as good as the projections you select, and projections are hard to find. In a normal league you're better off using ADP or rankings taken from multiple sources.

It might be good for a contract league but I wouldn't see it being much use in a dynasty.

I like it. Will like it more when they incorporate dynasty rankings into it.

I had been a longtime Football Guys subscriber and used Draft Dominator for years. It's a powerful and useful tool, however as mentioned above it's only as good as the projected stats funneled into it. Sadly FBG projections have been off the mark for the past few years which is why I've let my subscription lapse. This year it's all me and all free. No magazines or subscriptions, so we'll see how it ends up.

"It might be good for a contract league but I wouldn't see it being much use in a dynasty"

Very true- I actually bought it for a 16 team, 3 keeper league, thought it would be perfect. I went to pay and they had some 'matthew berry promotion' where you got like 10 sites for $70. I cant even use half the promos becauase I dont live in the USA. Epic fail I my part. I cant get a refund either- because it's a collection of sites (perhaps I can- maybe I need to check that out)
