Player Groups are named collections of players. Once you create and save a Player Group you can use them within the other tools on our site. This saves you time and makes things much simpler to run comparisons. Maybe you are analyzing a particular trade at work during your lunch hour, but you run out of time and then want to continue analyzing it later. Maybe you think you'll want eventually want to look at something very similar, but might want a couple of players different. Player groups allow you to save the collections of players that you are working with and to pull them up again later. Right now, there are two main places on SignAndTrade to use Player Groups:

• Comparing one group to another using our Player Group Comparison Tool (aka Fantasy Baskeball Trade Analyzer) in which you can also view their stats as a collective and individually
• The Fantasy Team Analyzer has player group functionality built in and it can be used to determine how well a particular group of players would stack up versus an "ideal" (or target) fantasy basketball team. Use it to figure out which players can be swapped away to help the team as a whole.

Soon, we will provide tools that allow you to see how groups stack up schedule wise as well as allow you to view the most recent news for all of the players in the group (rather than having to search for each one indivually).

Need some ideas for potential ways you can use them within our tools:

• Store the fantasy teams in your leagues hosted on other sites. Use our group comparison tool to see how they stack up.
• Store your own fantasy teams. Then you can see before/after stats to run "what if" scenerios for trades and waiver moves.
• Store the winning teams from previous years in your leagues. These serve as a baseline. If you build a team that would beat that team then you know you have a good team. Find out using the Fantasy Team Analyzer
