Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm a solo developer and a lifelong NBA fan. I built Clutch Player because the fantasy apps I used never captured what I love most about fantasy football back in Europe (anyone who knows MPG will get it 🇫🇷): the auction draft, the private-league rivalry, the trash talk with your friends.
So I brought that format to the NBA — live auction drafts where no two friends can own the same player, custom league lengths, and head-to-head battles based on real game stats.
The offseason nearly killed the project (turns out nobody downloads a fantasy app in July 😅), so I added a daily NBA quiz and an online tic-tac-toe you play against real people — to keep the app alive until the season tips off, and let early players earn coins for a head start.
It's just me on this — code, design, data, everything. Honest feedback means the world to me. Two questions for you:
👉 What would actually make you stick with a fantasy app long-term?
👉 Hit me with your most brutal NBA tic-tac-toe category ideas 🏀
Auction drafts with my buddies have always been the best part of fantasy hoops, and the no-duplicate-players rule here is exactly how it should be. Curious to see how Clutch Killer feels once you commit to a roster for two weeks straight.
Love how Clutch Killer locks players for 15 days instead of the usual weekly churn — it actually makes you think about who you really need long term instead of panicking every matchup. Auction drafts done well are rare, this nails it.
Auction drafts with friends are way more fun than standard snake picks, and Clutch Killer mode is a neat twist if you don't have time to babysit bidding all week.
Auction drafts are a blast, would love to see a watchlist feature so I can mark players I'm targeting and get a quick heads-up before bidding closes.
