In our 2007 season ending
survey we asked subscribers if they were interested in submitting a
testimonial that we could publish:
Fantasy
football has come a long way in the last 20 years. The days of
Monday morning calculations are a thing of the past. Everyone has
access to the same basic knowledge with the computer age. It is
now a matter of quality assessment to be just a little better than
the next guy. Fantistics supplies that advantage. I can't
recommend this site since I would like to continue making money
and winning leagues. So keep buying outdated magazines, drinking
beer and donating money to me and my various partners. Yes
Virginia there is a Santa Claus and his middle name is fantistics.
(Joseph M)
Fantistics has
been an extremely valuable weapon in my arsenal. It's like having
your own network of scouts. I can do things with this tool that
used to take most of a day of scanning newspapers and websites.
(Ed Martin)
Don't leave
home without Fantistics on Draft Day, their the edge you'll need
to bring home a Championship. (Tanker Cook)
The best thing
about Fantistics for me this year was the cheatsheets for our
draft. Braylon Edwards and Adrian Peterson were great
recommendations! Thank you Fantistics!! (Doug Brodersen)
I went 4 yrs
without a championship and began doubting my fantasy football
intelligence. Thanks to Fantistics and there great software and
weekly updates my confidence was rebuilt and I was able to trust
my insights as well as get a few new ones from the Fantistics
team.. I took my insight and blended it with there unbelievable up
to date reporting and stats and WON MY CHAMPIONSHIP.. If you want
to get back on top of your league? GET FANTISTICS!! (Charles Hurd)
Every year that
I have been a subscriber I have either won or finished in the
money. (Richard Smith)
Draft tool was
very helpful. Projections were stronger than most others out
there. Daily updates are great as magazines will give you stale
numbers. Custom scoring is a big plus. Finished 1st in one
league and second in another. Will be back next year. PLEASE
DON'T POST MY NAME ON WEBSITE TESTIMONIALS. (James XXXXX)
A great tool
for both the draft and in-season play. More than worth the price
of admission! (James Perry)
Fantistics is
awesome. I can't rave enough about how much your player
projections and pick up advice helps. The information you have
available is just amazing and really helped me get information on
some players that go under the radar in most publications.
(Celeste Iapichino)
Lots of sites
and information out there but no can match these guys on accuracy,
ease of use and the insight provided. (eric maillet)
A time saving
and worry free wonder! (Scott Campbell)
During the 2007 survey we asked
subscribers if they were satisfied enough to return in 2008:
-
Yes: 90%
-
Maybe: 9%
-
No: <1%
My husband
(also a team owner) thought I wasted my money on this website.
Throughout the year, he made fun of my purchase... until I was in
the championship game and he was watching from the sidelines.
Thanks for everything and I'll see you next year. (Kim Sayward)
Fantistics
Football Projections software is critical to my draft. I used to
create very similar type of data and this saves me hours of time.
It also takes out my personal bias in players with the use of
statistical analysis. A tremendous asset! The in-season tools
are also a great benefit. I have on source for all info necessary
each week. (Dan Pitre)
Fantastic daily
information! Couldn't win without it! (Jason Crow)
In the many
years of using Fantistics I've never been out of the money. Last
year I was out of the country with little or no computer access,
arriving 36 hrs. before the draft, downloaded the software, got
the projections and off to the draft and came in 2nd. During the
Draft I laugh when other teams are picking players in the early
rounds that you have listed at 20-30 and I get to pick up players
in the later rounds that you have listed in the top twenty. Keep
up the good work! (rANDY Dolenec)
Another season
of making money with you guys. Two first place finishes. People
are starting to ask what service I use and I need to lie so they
don't have the same edge I get. Thanks with your service it's
starting to turn into a lucrative fantasy business. (Joseph Nell)
Fantistics is
GREAT! It's a shame that I can't tell everybody about you. You
guys are just too good! I'm forced to keep you my little secret! I
play in 8 leagues and did well in all because of your hard work. I
could of NEVER managed that many teams without you guys! Thanks
again and see you next year!! (Scott M)
Awesome site. I
had Larry Johnson as my overall #1 pick. He did not perform as
expected, so the recommended pick ups and the way I worked the
wavier wire based on your recommendations put me in the Super
Bowl. And yes I will win it all. (Michael Canan)
I will most
likely use this site as long as I play fantasy football. It has
helped me from the draft all the way to the last game. So if
I can live another 50 years this site and its excellent staff will
hear from me again and again. (Mark Peterson)
Because of the
ubiquitous existing of player lists, Fantistics gave me a
competitive edge. I have had it for 3 years now and have made the
playoffs in both of the leagues I play in. (Michael C)
Besides Maroney,
I really didn't need to supplement my draft choices with waiver
pick ups. Great predictions (Erick Roen)
I could not be
happier with the consistency of the weekly projections as well as
the preseason draft rankings. Last year I scored Gore early and
this year I got the good Adrian Peterson. I'm already looking
forward to next year's draft. (Todd Weniger)
Best feature
for me is the Weekly Projections - I use them the moment they come
out each week and watch them all week for the updates (Mike Clark)
See the details of the Player
Projections Software
If I recall
correctly, I've been using Fantistics for 4 or maybe 5 seasons.
During that time, I've never missed the playoffs, never finished
lower than 2nd in total points for, have the most regular season
wins and winning percentage and the most post season wins and
winning percentage along with back-to-back championships the last
2 seasons. Thanks Fantistics! I'm sure you are aware of this,
but it appears cbssports.com is a subscriber to Fantistics based
on the features and wording on their website. You're raising the
bar for fantasy football across the board!! (Steve Rickard)
Did not think I
did so well in draft. Your receiver projections were excellent.
Had best overall receivers. I had a good quarterback. But, I won
the league because of your pickup recommendations. I used 13
different running backs this year. Picked up over 30 players or
defenses this year. Absolutely would not have won without your
advice and the pickup of Kurt Warner! Thanks! (Ronald McCowen)
Guys I am very
pleased with your insight and most especially your draft
analysis. I smoked the guys in my league with better information
both on draft day as well as on weekly projections. They even
have a poll going at the first of the year asking if my software
was worth the money........well I guess they now know
.......15-0. I took all the money!! Thanks and keep up the good
work. (Darryl Phillips)
Fantistics
provides a comprehensive set of drafting and managing tools with

Nobody's perfect but Fantistics is complete, competitive and
brutally honest. If your squad sucks, you'll be the first to
know! (Hadley Roth)
Fantistics
provides the experienced or newbie team owner a menu of tools to
use for managing a successful fantasy roster. (Tom Ciccone)
Fantistics
rocks!!! I have won more championships with than without. In
football & baseball. (Daryl Berryman)
First place two
out of the last three years using Fantistics. What else is there
to say? See you next year. (Mark Anonymous)
Great Draft
Software all my friends want it I just tell them the wrong name
for the site. (Howard Thynge)
Great
prediction website. I have won at least one league every year I
have used Fantistics. (edward rosenblatt)

I always get
the top one or two receiving corps in my league! Everyone has the
top RB's and QB's, it's the second and third receiver that
separates the league winners from the losers! (tim connors)
I am currently
entering our finals for the third straight year, a new league
record in a very competitive league that has been in existence for
20 years !! (And this was after an 0-4 start trying to defend my
title!) Excellent mid season pickups such as Ryan Grant and
Justin Fargas have offset probably my worst first round pick ever
(Shaun Alexander) and the revival of the Saints and Drew Brees
down the stretch has helped. I even managed to beat a team with
Tom Brady and AP in the semi's as the weather here in Boston
helped a great deal (besides having to shovel after it was over of
course!). Overall, Fantistics has a large role in my successful
last 3 seasons! Thanks again and Happy Holidays to the entire
Fantistics staff :) (Mark Dooling)
I didn't have a
problem with your pre season projections at all, It was more of
the week to week prjections that Killed me all year. If I had
started my bench in more than a few games I would have won. No one
can predict the future I know, But It seemed to me that every week
someone had a man crush on Reggie Bush and I was forced to play
him based on projections and only to be disappointed every week. I
think it was only towards the end of the year that it was
Resonable for Steve Smith also. (Tim Garriott)
I didn't have
time this year to do my own statistical analysis and I reviewed
several sites and Fantistics seemed to be the best value and more
importantly it gave me the information I was looking for to be
prepared for my league's draft. I always have done pretty good in
the past but I have never finished first during the regular
season, but this year I did. Thanks Fantastics - I actually made
some money this year. (Allen Derksen)
I experienced a
significant number of injuries to important players early in the
season, so rather than just ride a pretty awesome team, I had to
become more nimble: playing to the match-ups and picking up
players off the wire. Was only able to do this with the help of
your fine service. Would highly recommend it except to the
players in my League. (William R)
I find not only
does your service make me more competative in fantasy football but
also makes me a more knowledge football fan. (Adam Freitag)
I find the
weekly player pickup recommendations very helpfull in finding
undrafted players and players that have high potential in the
weeks up coming games. (Jeff Robson)
I had Kitna and
Culter going into the last game. Even if I had put Gaffney and
Curtis in, (which I didn't) I still would have lost miserably.
So, I finished in second. During the season it was your week to
week advice that made my team maximize its potential. My draft
was fairly unlucky, but at least I made it to 2nd. (David Schmitt)
I have to say I
would not have won my league if it was not for your daily updates
and great insight into all of the teams and players. I lived off
of the news tracker and weekly projections. Thanks for a great
season! I will definitely be back next year, but I not telling
any of the other guys in my league about your website! I want to
win again! (John Genna)
I have used you
site for baseball & football for years and I see no reason to look
elsewhere. Keep up the GREAT work!!!!!!!!!! (Mike Walterman)
I have won 2
out of 3 years and on my way to a forth! Thanks Guys!! (Brae
Hulery)
During the survey we asked
subscribers what their overall Impression of Fantistics was:
-
Great Content: 85%
-
Good Content: 14%
-
Poor Content:
<1%
I joined after
the draft and found as the season wore on that I moved up the
standings and was able to come out of nowhere and find myself in
the championship game. I did put down that I would give this to a
friend but as long as he is not in my league. Thanks (Doug
Montgomery)
I like the
draft tool a lot. I use the VAM in the early rounds which
makes picking a breeze...Keep up the good work on your website and
draft tool. (Derek Hanson)
I liked you
draft forecast for Auction drafts because it actually came close
to the price we had to pay. In another site the prices were around
20% lower than what they should have been. I loved you weekly
opposition forecast, and the opposition forecast for the playoffs.
I rated all you authors very good, even though I don't remember
what they wrote. I did this because I enjoyed most if not all of
the articles. (Pete Kost)
I love the
daily e-mails (robert kaminski)
I love this
site. (Geov Hanna)
I still
consider Fantistics useful in putting together and updating a
competitive FFL team. (Jeff Nickerson)
I use you to
break start/sit ties and you do a real good job of providing
matchup data. An "A" matchup rating goes a long way there because
it's updated to current league ratings, unlike some providers who
use the same match-up ratings from week #1 throughout the entire
season. (see matrix info being updated in similar fashion). (Brent
Tyson)
I used
Fantistics for three seasons now. During that time, I've had six
fantasy teams. Five of them have made my league's playoffs and
three of them made the championship game. That's incredible
consistency! From the draft projections to the weekly in-season
projections, I use Fantistics with 100% confidence! (Doug Burrell)
I would be lost
without your help, thanks I have won my second championship (Kevin
McKinstry)
In my big money
league, I drafted #9 out of 10 teams. The league specific draft
day cheatsheets helped me select a team that included P. Manning
(1st), burress, a. johnson, and the San Deigo D. My backs were R.
Bush, T. Henry, M. Barber, and L. Jordan. I traded T. Henry for
Jamal Lewis in week 4 because of the match-ups he had during
playoff time. It ended up really helping me make it to my
championship and I don't know if would have done it if it wasn't
for the schedule strength charts that Fantistics had available.
(Matt Scherer)
1st time in a
fantasy league - finished first. thanks Fantistics! (Dave Stumm)
It was your
draft tools that made me successful this year in all my leagues.
Having cheatsheets printed out made all the difference with
different scoring methods involved in each of my 5 teams. The
insight provided by Fantistics before the year started was
excellent this year. All five of my teams are finishing at the top
of the standings. Not one bad team. It is hard to predict what
players would do statistics wise from week to week. My rosters
were deep with talent and i played the wrong players often, it can
be frustrating. Overall, i was very satisfied this year with
my fantasy football teams and I could not of done well without the
information received from fantistics. I have been a member for
many years and am grateful to the staff of fantistics for all
their hard work. (Norm Janszen)
Love the
service! I'm in a 12 team ultra-competitive league and in the past
3 seasons I have finished 2nd, 1st and 3rd...thanks Fantistics!!!
(brett hartmann)
My top two
picks were LJ and Marvin Harrison so my season should have been
done after losing them, but thanks to the advice from Fantistics I
made some targeted trades and pickups, trading for Big Ben before
he closed the season with a favorable schedule, getting Ernest
Graham cheap right before he blew up, and picking up Fargas before
he took over the full time job, helping to carry my team into the
finals. (Craig Rudner)
NIce job!
(George Sautner)
Overall
Fantistics is very good. We drafted #11 out of 14 teams in a
serpentine draft. Fantistics did a good job of ranking certain
QB's very high, but we ignored it and went with the old method of
RB, taking Reggie Bush. We then took Steve Smith at 18 (ouch),
who was the second WR taken behind Chad Johnson. Housh fell all
the way to 39 with our third pick. At 46, we were between Kitna
and Romo and went Kitna, with the easier schedule. We then went
RB - RB with Marion Barber and Chester Taylor. Injuries and
underperformance hurt us, but we did better than most (3rd of 14)
and made the playoffs (top 6 teams) for the fifth year in a row.
(Paul Dykstra)
Overall great
help! (Bob Otto)
Overall I love
what you guys do. This really gives me an edge and if my first
three picks did not end up on the IR. (Chris Abbott)
Overall, I like
the service. Its a bit expensive in my opinion. You guys think
more 'outside the box' than other services, which I do like. Its
annoying to see other services keep guys like Steve Smith in the
top 10 all year. (Kirk Johnson)
PLAYING OVER 10
YEARS IN FANTASY FOOTBALL THE FIRST 8 YEARS BEING IN CHAMPINSHIP 0
TIMES THE LAST THREE YEARS SINCE I JOINED TWICE (WILLIAM SELTZER)
Since
soliciting your service two years ago, I have won three Fantasy
Bowls in six possibilities. (Steve Voegtle)
Solid system.
I'll be back. (Hank Dagenais)
During the survey we asked
subscribers what their impression was of our 2007 player
projections:
Thank you for
your recommendations of: 2006 Frank Gore 2007 Wes Welker (william
lawler)
The draft
software was terrific, and the projections were very helpful.
Thanks for another great year. (Peter St. Onge)
This is my 4th
year using your software. I have won my last two season, back to
back. I am tied for 1st place for the 2007 season and will know
my destiny in 2 more weeks as our league does not have playoffs.
Your software has given me the edge which is apparent with my
results. I love fantasy football and will continue to use your
product. If it's not broke, why try to fix it!! Tattoo Tramps
Granny Jannie's Fantasy Football League (Janice Davis)
This is my
second championship in 4 yrs., using your draft and in season
tools. Before I found this site, I sucked at this game. You guys
have been a tremendous help! Thanx and happy Holidays! (wayne
strohl)
This sight is
the best I have seen, I have been using it 5 years, two for
baseball five for football and have made the playoffs all five
years. (Tim Putrow)
Timely and
insightful information. (Jack Ferraro)
Use anything I
have typed. This is the best setup for drafting and information
that is available. You always stay current and informative. The
only problem with player updates is because of teams that do not
report their injuries properly like the Pats and Broncos. The NFL
should do something about that since the so called questionable
setup is useless for players like Heap who never plays and Burress
who always plays. (Farrell Hiatt)
VERY PLEASED
WITH YOUR SITE. Our team has won five of the last seven years and
this year we set a new total points and total won dollars record.
Your site was very instrumental in this years victory. Thanks and
keep up the great work! Gary Oestreich (gary oestreich)
Won the
championship game in my primary league for $1400 and 1st in
overall high points for an extra $1196. Thanks Fantistics! (Mike
Kennedy)
You are the
primary reason I was in first place for all of the regular season!
(Jack Knorek)
You guys are
outstanding. (Dan Kahl)
You guys are
the best! (Steve Lenderman)
You provide a
consistent approach and updated insights.... what else can we ask
for? (Ken Goldberg)
Your sites
indepth fantasy football tools have given me an edge in all of my
leagues for the past 5 years. Before Fantistics I had not been
able to get into the playoffs. Over the past 5 years I have won
multiple championships. Every year I am tempted to tell my friends
about Fantistics great site but I do not because I want to retain
the edge over them in fantasy football. (Shane E)
Your software
is right on the money, you built the road and I drove it to the
championship. (Eugene Rutzler)
