Reviews

Perfect for tournament and league

dobby21329 October 6, 2022

Probably the best sports league plugin in the market.

Excellant Plugin

saifmnasri September 12, 2022

Excellant Plugin, love it

Could i get a fantasy draft for this plugin and predictions?

lexis578 July 3, 2021

Still new right? first of all your plugin in beautiful, but i would like to request an addition, i created a full league on my site, a functioning fake league because i like to fully test plugins before usage, but i was wondering if i could have users log in and predict results, or create a draft team and join leagues and compete with others based on the performance of my preset league created on sport press? like the English premier league and fantasy premier league like fan victor but without the API stress
