Strategy Guides
Free guides that build your draft framework from the ground up. Read these before draft day.
Beginner Guide
New to 9-cat fantasy basketball? Start here. Covers scoring formats, draft strategy fundamentals, category management, and how to think about building a competitive roster from scratch.
Free
Punt Strategy Guide
The definitive guide to punting categories in 9-cat leagues. Understand when to punt, which categories to target, how punt builds change your draft board, and why most managers get punt strategy wrong.
Free
Tier Drafting 101
Draft by tiers, not serial rank numbers. Understand exactly where player value drops off so you know when to reach, when to wait, and when to pivot without panic.
Free
Draft Psychology
Understand the patterns other managers repeat under pressure — panic reaches, positional hoarding, ADP anchoring. Anti-tilt rules that keep your draft on strategy when others are reacting.
Free
Mock Draft Simulator
Practice your draft before it counts. Run mock drafts against realistic AI opponents to test punt builds, practise tier drops, and refine your strategy in a pressure-free environment.
Free
Hype vs Reality
The biggest fantasy narratives from past seasons — what the industry was saying, what actually happened, and what smart managers should learn from it. Study where hype was justified and where it ran too far.
Free
Our Analyst
Meet the analyst behind the rankings, sleeper calls, and strategy content. Background, methodology, and the approach that drives every recommendation across the platform.
Free
Draft Kit & War Room Tools
Paid tools that put the strategy into action — rankings, targets, live draft guidance, and category analysis.
Punt Builds Guide
FT%, FG%, and TO punt strategies with specific player targets for each path. Go into draft night with a team identity instead of drafting player-by-player and hoping it balances out.
Draft Kit
Category Targets by Round
Round-by-round category guardrails so you lock in the right stats at the right time. Avoid the mistake of stacking one category early while going weeks without addressing blocks or FT%.
War Room
Sleeper Targets
Analyst-identified players being drafted significantly later than their real ceiling. Role changes, new starting gigs, and usage jumps that ADP hasn't caught up to yet.
Draft Kit
Bust Alerts
Players whose ADP has run well past their real upside. Updated through preseason so you know who to fade before your leaguemates draft them at a price they can't justify.
Draft Kit
3rd Year Breakout Targets
Players entering the breakout window with the usage, team situation, and development arc to leap in fantasy value. High-upside late-round targets backed by analyst reasoning.
Draft Kit
Rookie Rankings & Profiles
Tiered rookie rankings with detailed profiles covering role outlook, team situation, and dynasty vs. redraft value. Separated from hype — focused on real 9-cat contribution.
Draft Kit
War Room (Live Draft)
Live guidance that tracks your team build as picks come off the board. Flags category gaps, surfaces the best available player for your specific needs, and keeps your strategy coherent under time pressure.
War Room
What changes when you have a system
The difference between winging draft day and owning it.
Without a strategy system
- Drafting by instinct and hoping the categories balance out
- Getting to Round 8 without a blocks source and no clear fix
- Overpaying for names ADP inflated by casual managers
- No framework for late rounds — just taking whoever feels right
- Reacting to what everyone else does instead of executing a plan
- Finishing the draft unsure if your team is good or just looks good
With the Strategy Hub
- A punt build decided before the draft starts — with player targets ready
- Category guardrails telling you exactly what to prioritise each round
- Sleeper targets that exploit where ADP is wrong this season
- Bust alerts so you fade the hype before it costs you draft capital
- A live Draft Advisor flagging your weakest category on every pick
- Walking out of the draft knowing exactly why your team is built to win
Built differently from every other fantasy site
Most fantasy content gives you tips. This gives you a complete decision framework.
01
System-level, not tip-level
Tips tell you what to do once. A system tells you why — and how to adapt when the situation changes mid-draft. Every guide here builds on the others into a coherent approach for any draft scenario.
02
Analyst judgement, not generated content
Sleepers, busts, tier notes, and strategy guides are written by analysts who compete in 9-cat leagues. Real trade-off analysis, real opinions, not recycled takes or algorithmically produced lists.
03
9-cat specific — not format-agnostic
Most fantasy content is written to apply to every format. This is written exclusively for 9-category managers — every category target, punt build, and player note is scoped to how 9-cat scoring actually works.
Two tiers. Simple pricing.

Draft Kit ($39 one-time) gives you 14 draft-prep tools — tiered rankings, Top 200, positional rankings, ADP tracker, draft grade analyser, punt builds, punt targets, rookie rankings, breakouts, sleepers, busts, high risk/high return, injury risk report, and Team Intel. War Room ($79/season) adds the Live Draft Assistant, player projections, value finder, roster optimiser, trade analyser, category targets by round, buy low/sell high, weekly waiver wire, start/sit, injury tracker pro, H2H matchup planner, category standings, and matchup difficulty.

When are sleeper targets and bust alerts updated?
Throughout the preseason as depth charts, injuries, and team situations develop. Strategy guides like Tier Drafting 101 and Punt Builds are reviewed each season before draft day for any rule or format changes.
Is the Draft Kit included in War Room?
Yes. War Room includes everything in the Draft Kit — rankings, sleepers, busts, punt builds, and all other prep tools. You get the complete system in one package with no need to purchase the Draft Kit separately.
