Sync your fantasy league to utilize FantasySP to it's fullest potential. League Syncing is available for Yahoo!, ESPN, CBSSports, Foxsports, NFL.com, MLB.com, and Fleaflicker.
League rosters are updated daily and any players that are added/removed from your fantasy teams are also added or removed from your player tracking.
Plus, while your scouting for players here, we can easily show you which leagues he's available in, and provide a direct link to pick him up.
Now that you have a basic understanding of League Syncing, lets tackle some common questions with examples of it in action:
- Player availability icons
Once your league(s) are synced, icons appear next to each player name on his player page. The green icon indicates that I own him in my league. Red icons are owned by another team and gray icons are free agents. Mouse over the icon to show availability in all synced leagues:
Clicking on any team name will provide a direct link to his player page.
if he is available in ANY league synced
if he's owned in one league
if you don't own him in any leagues.
Read up on Favorite Leagues to change this behavior.(just below this).
- Favorite leagues
So let's say you synced multiple leagues to this site, but one particular league is way more important than the others. Add it to favorites by clicking on the yellow star under "Sync / Import" in your user panel:
Once you do this, player icon colors are shown based on your favorite league ONLY, so if you own A-Rod in your favorite league, it'll be green. Mousing over the icon still brings up player availability in all synced leagues.
There can be only ONE favorite league in each sport.
- How to sync a fantasy league
Under your user panel, click the "Sync" link in yellow. Two options will come up, click on "1. Sync Your Fantasy League" to get started. The first step is to copy the web address of your fantasy league.
- How to delete a synced league
To delete a synced league, click the "red x icon" under "Sync / Import" in your user panel:
- How often does my league get updated?
Each league gets synced once per day when it's in season. Paying members are updated every 3 hours.
- What happens to players already added to tracking?
Any players previously added to tracking will not be touched by the automated process of fantasy syncing. Any players you manually add to player tracking will not be touched either.
However, if you plan to sync your league then we recommend you delete any imported players that are on your fantasy team. The reason is to ensure that the site will be able to successfully add/remove players as you make roster moves. Manually imported players will not be removed.
- Enhancements to "My News"
When you mouse over player news in your control panel, you'll notice that it shows each team that the player is owned on at the bottom right:
If you select a favorite league, "star" icons will appear next to players owned on your favorite teams so they stand out above the rest.
- How many leagues can I sync?
You can sync as many leagues as you wish. However, player tracking has a limit of 50 players.
- More information on player tracking
Each time your leagues are synced, players are added/removed from player tracking depending on if he has been added or dropped in your leagues. This way we stay in "sync" with your league happenings. If you manually add a player to tracking, then he will never be removed from tracking unless you do it.
Also, keep in mind that free accounts on
FantasySP have a limit of 50 players that can be tracked at once. Upgrade to get this cap removed.
- Fantasy League Breakdowns
Each league that is synced gets all the teams analyzed on a daily basis. It works similar to our "team analyzer", except each day this is done for you. We then save each team's daily ratings and can easily show you historical trends throughout the season and where each team ranks in your league.
To access this feature, click on "Sync / Import" in your user panel and click on each league or team.
- My league isn't supported!
If your league isn't supported then email info [at] fantasysp.com which league your in and maybe it can be added at a later date. For leagues that aren't supported you can choose option 2 to "Import" your team on the "Sync / Import" link in your user panel.
- Do I need to provide my login and password?
Some fantasy leagues are private, meaning you need to be logged in to see them. We encrypt your password to make sure your information stays safe.
