ABOUT
This is the ultimate site designed specifically for commissioners & owners that play in highly competitive fantasy leagues! From the start of the offseason, up until draft day, we got you covered! THE OFFSEASON GM helps both keeper & redraft leagues organize & enhance the off season for both commissioners, and team owners by creating an interactive league experience!
What makes us unique is that we specialize in enhancing the offline draft experience. With the ultimate mission of implementing a true season long fantasy experience.
Fantasy commissioners are always on the clock, and we are here to unlock and fill in the gap of what other major platforms are missing for better off season management.
Year after year, as the commish and member of highly competitive leagues, I have begrudgingly managed and tracked multiple spreadsheets of traded draft picks and keepers, through multiple sports, group chats, leagues & platforms. Leagues that have unique and custom rules. This has become a manually intensive process, riddled with human error that can cause serious live offline draft day issues! This platform will provide higher league participation, and functionality by making you the best commish and GM in all of fantasy!

FAQ’s
How does THE OFFSEASON GM trial work?
Before purchase, the user will be limited to accessing 1 round, and will not be able to “Go Live” until your account is activated. All other features will be active for the trial.
When will my yearly football subscription expire?
Subscriptions expire 1 year from activation date
When does THE OFFSEASON GM data refresh for the upcoming football season?
Shortly after the NFL draft, which usually takes place late April. We strive to have all rookie and veteran player information updated for the upcoming season by the end of May.
How do I invite and add other GM’s to my league?
On the Owners tab in the Settings, copy and send the invite link to league members. Once the user joins your league, you will see the GM added to the Unassigned Managers box. Using the red plus signs, select the respective GM via the dropdown to assign to their draft spot. This grants them the ability to draft, use the GM Dashboard, and edit team names
Whats the best way to host my draft?
If your TV allows- We recommend using Chromecast via Google Chrome, or any webcasting apps that allows you to mirror on your TV. HDMI connections from laptop to TV are also an option.
To use Chromecast- On your Chrome browser:
- 1) Click the vertical ellipsis (⋮) menu button to the far right of your toolbar
- 2) Select Cast…
- 3) Choose the device you want to cast on
Internet Browser
OSGM can be viewed using Chrome, Safari, or Firefox. However, this platform was developed primarily using Chrome, so features, functions, sizing, and aesthetics may vary when using other browsers. Note that we recommend a zoom of 100% or 90% , which will provide an optimal viewing experience
How to make trades?
Currently, the commish & co-commish are the only users that can make trades on behalf of the league
Trades can be made in a couple of ways
To Trade Picks:
- 1) On the Draft Board screen- Simply click the grey dropdown button above each pick to change the current team to the new team
- 2) Click the Views button and select Collapse. Click any dropdown cell and select the new team
To Trade Players:
- 1) Via the Keepers page, click & drag a player under the new owner until you see a green plus sign
How do keepers work?
On the Keepers page, simply click the red plus sign and type the player name and select the keeper cost by choosing the pick/round. You can then choose to designate the player as a “keeper” by clicking “Add to Board” toggle switch. You will then see a floating “K” on the player indicating that they have been added to the draft board.
If you do not click the “Add to Board” switch, it will add to the list for viewing purposes only in case league members are interested in available players.
Please note: Once the pick/round is chosen, you will see the round number displayed on the bottom left of each box , indicating the keeper cost. This indicates the overall round it would cost to keep the player, in the event the player is traded during the offseason
Many keeper leagues use a wide range of custom rules. For that reason, it is very difficult to support every keeper leagues unique system. Its important to understand that the more rules & features we add to The OSGM, the more it may complicate overall functionality. With that in mind, we hope that our approach caters to a large population of leagues, which enables commissioners to achieve a seamless experience for draft board management. As always, we are always searching for ways to improve and enhance the draft experience.
Pre Go Live Mode
Before going live which enables all live draft capabilities, the commish must finalize the draft board. The commish must complete overall draft order manually or via the draft lottery feature, determine league size, and league positions. After finalization, those functions will be locked, allowing the commish to make individual pick changes, trades, designate keepers, set keeper deadline and draft day time.
Refund Policy
The OSGM does not offer refunds of your subscription. We hope, and believe that the trial before activation period offers great insight and confidence to the experience we provide before purchasing.
