How Does Fan Victor  it Work?

3.  Pickem Money Line Games – pick games with money lines instead of standard scoring

The collection of the stats itself is worth over thousands of dollars a month!

Overall Thoughts

Fan Victor is a quality a fantasy league/pickem contest plugin for WordPress that makes creating a live fantasy website a breeze. You basically can buy this plugin and within a few hours have a running Fantasy Sports website. Is it worth the cost of $97/month…of course! You have to factor in how much it would cost to develop something like this along with the live stats and constant result updates that go along with it.

We do wish the graphics and interface could be improved upon but the good news is you are welcome to customize and redesign it as much as you want to match your own website or brand. Be sure to check out the demo for all the functionality and how it works before buying.

Oh, you do have a 60 day money back guarantee so why not give it a try if you are on the fence!

We are really looking forward to seeing how the player draft leagues will work with the future update coming but overall it is a great plugin with great support.  Get it while the price is this low since once the live player draft feature is implemented I am sure the price will increase.
