NFFC Message Boards

Today we are excited and proud to unveil our latest update to our Free Agent software. We are calling this announcement BREAKING NEWS because we really believe this latest addition is going to be a game changer for anyone who has multiple FAAB teams in the NFBC/NFFC/NFBKC/NFHC.

This is an idea that was presented to us by one of our customers, Wayne Ellis. He wondered if there was a way to manage all of your FAAB teams on one page. Our Pending FAAB page was an improvement, he said, but it was still tough to manage multiple teams from that page. He wondered, was there any way to manage all of your teams using all of the FAAB tools from that one page?

Hmmm, it seemed like a great idea, but I wasn't sure if we could do it. We presented the idea to our IT team and sure enough they said it was possible and that they could have it done before the baseball season. There was then another suggestion to allow you to create separate lists so that instead of importing all of the players from your Player Watchlist that you could be more specific for each team.

Sure enough, that was done as well. All of this is now in your hands, thanks to our great IT team. It really is a HUGE improvement and I guarantee that it will save you hours and hours of FAAB time this season.

Darik and I created a video today to show you how this works and you can see it here:

Again, learn two things right now:

1. Player Watchlist - Learn how to add free agents you may want in ANY of your leagues and add them throughout the week.

2. Pending FAAB page - Once you have a good Player Watchlist, this is the page that you'll be able to edit, add and cut all players from. You won't have to go into individual league FAAB pages anymore if you do the Player Watchlist right. All the tools for Sunday's work will be on this one page.

Check out the video and please give us feedback on this latest addition. And if you have any further suggestions, let us know. All of these upgrades came from customer suggestions, so keep 'em coming. We have the best FAAB system in the industry and if we can still improve it even further we will. Thanks all and enjoy.

I just posted this on the NFBC Message Boards, but it has relevance to our NFFC owners as well. In fact, we believe we'll have this fully tested out in baseball that it will be available Week 1 for 2023 NFFC owners. See below:


I know you're going to love the new Pending FAAB page this year during Sundays, but we're also working on one other feature that could save you a lot of time when you're trying to set your starting lineups. I think this will be even more helpful for our NFFC owners who have even more teams than our most die-hard NFBC owners.

We are creating a second Set Lineup page that will be a separate link from our current Set Lineup page. This one looks like the Roster page with all your players spread out horizontally under their current positions (1B, 2B, etc.). All of your teams will be on one page and we'll have an Edit button where you can edit your starting lineups all from that one page, similar to the Pending FAAB page.

What this will do is allow you to more quickly take out a player on Monday night, let's say, if you hear about an injury just before the first games of the night. Let's say Fernando Tatis goes on the IL late Monday afternoon and you know you have him on 6 teams. From this new Set Lineup page, you'll be able to quickly find him on each team, click the Edit button for each team and never leave this page while quickly updating your roster for all six teams.

Currently, you'd have to find out which teams you have him on and then go individually into each Set Lineup page and make the changes. This new page will more easily allow you to search for him (similar to an Excel spreadsheet) and then go right to those rosters from this page.

Every minute counts and we hope this helps people who have multiple teams. Again, in football where owners have even more teams, this could be a life-saver on Sunday mornings after the inactive lists come out.

This is something we want to test early in the season, so it won't be available right away. We don't want anything to slow down our current Set Lineup page, so let us test this the first few months and then hopefully we can unveil it during the season. It's a new feature that was requested by one of our owners and we thought it made sense. Now we have to make sure it works easily.

We're trying to save you time and make your in-season job easier. Keep the suggestions coming and thanks everyone.
