I've lost all my points before my membership ran out, now what do I do?
Additional points can be purchased at anytime during your membership.

Does it work like a real stock market?
While it works “like” a real stock market (team stock values go up and down based on external factors), FSS shares are independent from each other. That means, you can buy and sell your teams independently and have no effect on the other members and vice versa. 

What determines a team's value? 
A team's winning record helps to determine a team's value.  But, winning isn't everything. Fantasy Sports Stocks breaks winning and losing down to a science. Coaching changes, trades, injuries and key wins all effect a team's value.  Check out our FSS Science page for details.
