Kudos to STATS, this is a nice feature. Ecspecially for someone who likes/needs to scan the wire during the week. Well done, STATS.

STATS just implemented that this week. Please let us know what you think about it. They are looking for feedback.

I like the feature alot. I like how the wish list then appears on the homepage. Very helpful. Ecspecially helpful for teams with Co-managers. Alot of times during the week I am scratching out lists of guys to consider for Free Agency, what I did before was place bids, followed by a slew of conditional bids, but then spent time on Sunday Deleting and re-arranging. This way is much easier, and makes co-manager conversations easier. Thumps Up, from me!

This is a boon to those managing multiple leagues and certainly paves the way to even more leagues entered in 2008. Great idea guys !

Thanks to the owners who suggested this idea and thanks again to STATS for implementing this. We've had a couple of good additions to the NFBC site this year and this is another one of 'em. Thanks everyone.

This is a great feature -- BUT is there any way you can have STATS put a "link" to your selected / "tracked" free agents back on the Free Agent page? What I'm getting at is when you are back at the Free Agent page (near as I can tell), there's no quick way to see who you pre-ranked all in one place. Yes, the info seems to be there position by position, but having a "drop down" option where the list of Free Agent positions is (e.g., C, 1B, .... Tracked Free Agents) would be helpful to pull up all of your pre-ranked Free Agents at once, regardless of position.



This is just in the "nice to have" category. This is a very cool feature. Good work!

Pos:

Period:

Stats:

Players: All/Tracked



The only improvement I can see is that you don't need to have a pop up window each and every time you pick a player.



Great Stuff. Glad to see usability continue to improve (now if they could just let you lookup by name while creating a set of conditional BIDS!!!)

Something I had rather see is the players team listed with his name on the tranaction history.

This would make my free agent tracking much easier.

Ok ... is it just me or are others having this issue with the "Free Agent Wish List"? I would like to know how to delete players names from the Wish List that were either picked up in last week bidding cycle or I no longer want. I just assumed that this Wish List would update/clear itself after every FAAB cycle. thanks
