Fantasy Sports Company is a site created to help you draft the best daily fantasy sports lineup possible. It’s a service that takes all of the statistical analysis on for you, so that you can focus on finding the very best matchups on a given night and start winning more often in the league of your choice. The site focuses on MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, PGA, NASCAR. Whatever your sport of choice, and whichever of the major daily fantasy sports sites you play on, they have your needs covered.
The LineStar App
The Fantasy Sports Company’s best feature by far is their mobile app. It’s available for the iPhone, the iPad, and Android devices. It’s free to download, and there are many free features that it comes with, but the best things are unlocked when you pay for them. Basically, the app lets you look at position matchups for the specific site that you play on. FanDuel, DraftKings, and Yahoo are currently covered. It breaks down each player at the position, letting you see their projected fantasy point total, let’s you know how the experts rate that player, and also will give you an idea of value by showing you how many salary dollars you will be spending per fantasy point.
All of the features that you need are available on your phone or tablet, making it possible to draft the perfect lineup even when you’re away from home. This is a powerful tool, giving you the ability to go from a good fantasy manager to an unstoppable one.
How to Use it
You can use this site and the app in a number of different ways. First, it can standalone for your fantasy purposes, eliminating the need for your own research. They do a ton of research for you, compiling numbers, making predictions, and even letting you know which players are apt to do well against the team they’re competing against.
The end results should be that you are able to draft the perfect lineup. This is based upon projections, past performances, value, salary restrictions, and team matchups. It’s a lot of data to process, and the site does it all for you, much quicker than an individual could ever do it on their own.
An alternative way of using this app is to use it as a guide or as a method of double checking your own work. Part of the appeal of fantasy sports to some people is the grunt work through mountains of numbers. If you’re one of the people that enjoy this, there’s no reason to stop doing it. But this site can act as a guide for you so that you have a more accurate lineup as an end result.
This is designed to help you to rank higher in your fantasy leagues. Whether you are playing for fun or for high stakes, this has the ability to boost your rankings a lot, especially when used over the course of a full season.
Getting Started
Again, the site is free to use, and the app is free to download. Once you get it on your mobile device, you will be asked to create an account. Give your email address and a password, and then you can get started. There are minimal free features on the app, but to get full access, you will need to pay to unlock them. This costs $2.99 for a weekly subscription, $8.99 for a monthly subscription, or $69.99 for a one-year subscription. If you go with the monthly or yearly subscription, you can also get a free trial period to use the service, too. Just to avoid confusion, their app is called LineStar, but it’s produced by the Fantasy Sports Company.
Bottom Line
We’ve gone over all the cool things that the Fantasy Sports Company does, but the big question is: is it worth it? The simple answer is, yes, it’s worth it.
There are some stipulations with this, of course. First, you need to play daily fantasy sports often enough to make it worthwhile. You must play at either FanDuel, DraftKings, or Yahoo, too. These are the sites that they crunch the number on, and while there are some similarities on other sites, these are the ones where the data is accurate. You also need to play a few times a week. DFS apps are helpful, but they need consistent play to work best. If you are not a frequent player, the weekly subscription can still help you to form a solid lineup, but there’s no guarantee that you will win enough to make your money back. The more you play, the more likely you are to win your money back and then some. This is how daily fantasy leagues are in general, but when you are paying for any sort of data, you want to take extra precautions to ensure that this is the case. If you have any concerns or reservations, check out their free features before you commit.
The Fantasy Sports Company is a strong new voice in the world of DFS, and should strongly be considered.
