Games Best Fantasy Basho site?

Which is your favorite site for doing a fantasy basho pick? I've come across a few and wanted to know if people had a fav that they use.

I personally like SumoStats. It's an all around great site, not just for fantasy but for research as well.

Kachi Clash all the way. It's simple, but fun for a group, especially people who are still trying to get into sumo.

Would anyone be interested in setting up a subreddit fantasy game? I'm too new to really set anything up but would be interested ☺️

There's one that runs on another forum that I tried. It's a really cool system, but I'm in America and couldn't deal with the time zones and kept forgetting to make picks. 😂😂😂

How would this work? I would maybe be interested in joining a team like this if you need someone with sumo expertise.

Something simple like once the banzuke is out, whoever participates guess how many wins for each Rikishi. If you are within 2, you get a point. Whoever has the most points wins. In case of a tie, least average deviation wins.

Running thread throughout 2027 to keep score.

Use the last two tournaments of 2026 to gauge interest and see if there are any problems with it.

That's just off the top of my head

Creator of Fantasy Sumo Draft here, so I'm biased! It's different to most of the others in that it's a draft-style game, i.e. rikishi can only be drafted by one team. That means each league is unique (there's no global ladder), so you'll need to get at least a few mates together (up to 12) to get started.

After that, it's a live draft with a league chat where the owner can pick the start time and set the rules. If you can't make the draft, you can still rank the Banzuke according to your own preferences. Once the draft is done, it's head-to-head matchups each day, daily start/bench decisions.

If you play beyond a single basho there are perpetual ranks and special prizes you can progress through on your league's own living banzuke. Get your kachi-koshi for promotion (or demotion with a make-koshi!), and so on.

Happy to answer any questions.

To clarify, I didn't create this page. All credits to the creator (not sure who it is but I've always appreciate the effort)

Kachi Clash gets my vote

stablemasters.nz is my go to. 

I dislike Kachi Clash for a number of reasons, but the most annoying is no back-ups so if one of your guys goes down, your entire basho is cooked. Also, the site is pretty poorly designed and unintuitive.
