Fantasy Sports Market Research (1 Viewer)

[2ksports]

A couple months ago, I conducted a fantasy sports market research survey on several forums and many individual fantasy players including FootballGuys.com. The research was for a real-time web application I am building.

I promised to share the findings, but have not gotten around to writing up a blog post until now.

Without further ado, here are the findings:

Thanks especially for those who participated in the survey.

Pretty good read, I believe most of that info. Nice to see FBG's NO. 2 right under ESPN, I'd say that's solid.

As far as the Tiering come on, for me to get behind that you can't have Stafford in Tier 7 with guys like Leinart ahead of him. Anything is possible but that is definately not a likely scenario.

Knowing this information, we set off to work on a company that will bring something fresh to the table. Our first product is coming soon, and we think it’s going to rock your world! It solves several of the problems we identified in our survey in a very fun way: 1. Real-time information, breaking news as it unfolds on the field 2. Verified credibility 3. Allows for banter 4. Fun during the day and at night, but especially during live games! 5. Allows your voice to be heard

Sounds like the Shark Pool on Sunday. And it sounds like you're trying to recreate that on another site.

The free tier sheet is very cool.

Noted.Although you could adjust the tiersheet to your liking and post a link. It's certainly not intended to be one size fits all.

FBG (and other sites like Cafe & Rotoworld) do forums very well, so there's no point to compete or replace them. It's not meant to be a replacement to forums, more of a counterpart. More will be revealed later.

Good for making "fake" tiered ranking cheatsheets to hand out at the draft...
