So you've drafted your team (probably with the Draft Dominator, our best-in-the-industry fantasy draft tool), and you've checked out our Rate My Team feature after the draft to see how you did. Rate My Team has estimated your chances of making the playoffs with great, good, or average in-season management. You like that "with great in-season management" estimate the best and want to ensure you hit that mark, but you're not sure where to start.
Enter the League Dominator (formerly known as MyFootballguys), the most robust and powerful league management tool on the market. Where the Draft Dominator is designed to get you the best team possible before Week 1, the League Dominator is built to help you shepherd it through to Week 16. (Or even Week 17 if you need it to.) The League Dominator is available online or through the app store on your preferred mobile device.
Naturally, a tool that's designed to do everything you need can be a bit intimidating. This article is meant to serve as a companion piece to our video series uncovering everything you need to know about leveraging this tool to your advantage.

Getting Started
The first step to unlocking the power of the League Dominator is logging into your Footballguys account. Simply enter your existing username and password.

IMPORTING LEAGUES
Once you've logged in, first-time users will be taken to an import leagues screen. This is where you can import every fantasy league you play in. Simply click or tap on the league host (ESPN, My Fantasy League, Yahoo, etc.) and enter your login credentials for that particular site. Here's the mobile view of that screen:
