Disclosed is a method and system for situational substitutions in fantasy sports. A server maintains personnel packages received from a client device operated by a user owning a fantasy team that includes a default personnel package and zero or more situational personnel packages of fantasy players. Each situational personnel package includes fantasy players and is associated with a specific situation that might occur within a real life sports game. The server detects a specific real life sports game situation matching the specific situation associated with a situational personnel package. Based on this detection, the server substitutes the fantasy player(s) in the situational personnel package for one or more of the fantasy players in the default package. The server determines a score for the fantasy team based on points accrued by fantasy players in the default personnel package and the substituted one or more fantasy players in the personnel package.
