Getting set up
Everything here works better when it knows your league. One setup pass — account, connect, set active, sync — and every board and tool values itself for your format, your rosters, and your wire. No league handy? There's a demo league and full manual mode too.

The setup pass
- Create your free account
Sign up with Google or email — it's free. This unlocks the full projections board, every tool, and every past rankings season.
- Connect your platform on the account page
Yahoo is one click — 'Connect Yahoo' signs you in with Yahoo itself (no IDs to copy), then pick which league to import. ESPN needs your League ID; private ESPN leagues also need the SWID and espn_s2 cookies (DevTools → Application → Cookies on fantasy.espn.com). Fantrax needs your League ID; private Fantrax leagues also need the Secret ID from your Fantrax profile page (User Profile → Secret ID), and you can name your team so we know which roster is yours.
- Set the league active
Importing a league doesn't automatically point the tools at it — click 'Set active' on your account (or use the league switcher in the header). The active league is what every tool reads.
- Sync — and re-sync after moves
Sync pulls every team's roster, the matchup bracket, and standings from your platform. It's manual by design: press 'Sync league' after waiver moves or trades so the tools see your league as it is today.
- Check your lineup cadence
Each league carries a Daily or Weekly lineup setting. If it says 'assumed — set it if wrong', click the right one — it gates the matchup planner's lock mode and the streaming signals.
No league yet? Two more doors
The demo league is one click from any tool's league banner — invented teams over our real player data, so you can explore everything before connecting your own. And every roster-based tool also works fully manually: search players into a roster right on the page, and it persists on your device.
One platform quirk worth knowing: Fantrax doesn't expose scoring settings, so points weights are estimated — verify them in any tool's settings panel and hit Save as my default once they match your league.
- Settings-panel changes are per-visit by design — leaving a page restores your league's settings. Save as my default makes an override stick.
- In-season, turn on the weekly digest on your account — one email every Monday with your matchup outlook and the week's streaming targets.
