This present invention pertains to the field of fantasy sports games. The exemplary embodiments relate to a method and system for providing recommendations, in particular for drafting or managing a player in a fantasy sports team by adjusting a weight applied to recommendation algorithms used to generate the recommendations.BACKGROUND INFORMATION
A fantasy sports game is a simulation game where users act as managers or owners of simulated sport teams called “fantasy teams,” where each team comprises a number of “players.” Thus, the term “owner” is used to refer to a participant in the fantasy sports game. An owner may be a natural person or a computer-controlled opponent. A “user” is a fantasy owner who is also a natural person. Thus, the term “user” and “owner” are used interchangeably in their roles in the fantasy sports game. In contras
