Dynasty League Football Forum

Never used Yahoo for dynasty. I'm in 2 ESPN leagues. Frankly, I hate it. Mostly because of the emails and how you can't trade picks through the trade screen. Have to add them in the comments. So stupid.

MFL is the best, by far. Not even a competition. It's so customizable and adheres to every type of format/feature/setting you can dream of.

This, have a couple on ESPN and a few on MFL. The only things I like better on ESPN is the live scoring and submitting a lineup.

Can you elaborate by what you mean with "emails" + trading picks? Seems like the lack of trading picks would completely eliminate ESPN from any Dynasty league consideration for me.

My leaguemates hate the look/feel of MFL. Unfortunately, I do enjoy the customization of MFL but that won't work for us.

Anyone used Yahoo for a Dynasty league and have thoughts on it?

Fleaflicker might be the best free one out there

It's fine as long as you don't mind a bit of extra work. I use Yahoo for the dynasty league I commish, but I keep track of rookie picks and practice squads etc. on a separate Google doc that all league members have access to.

Does anyone know if this is true? I've heard you can't trade picks and they must be tracked on a spreadsheet....

We currently have a 7 year Dynasty League on NFL.com (originally set up as redraft). The NFL.com app is archaic for fantasy you can't see picks included in a trade + rarely does any of the 14 owners use the website (which does have a good UI experience).

We are considering CBS/Yahoo/ESPN because the UI experience is a big deal for leaguemates, especially on the App.

MFL, unfortunately, is not an option (already been voted down).

That's pretty much what I do on NFL.com already. Except, NFL.com doesn't open up the league until June which is No Bueno.

What are your thoughts on Yahoo and the roster limit, is it still set to 30? We are IDP and I don't think that will work for us.

Unfortunately I can't answer that, as we have 20-man rosters and don't play IDP. However, I would suggest just going on Yahoo and making a league. It's free, so if you don't like it and decide on a different site, just delete it.

Has anyone used Fantrax for Dynasty? Do they have an App?

MFL is far and beyond the best site. I refuse to join leagues on ANY other site.

I completely agree with this.

MFL is only liek $30 if this is your first time using it, you can't beat it.

My league used NFL.com for the last 8 years and we moved to MFL in December because of all the dynasty friendly options and I love it, I'll never use another site now.

As much progress the free providers have made they are still not close to MFL, trust me as my local league still uses Yahoo...

I currently play on a site that really is the only true dynasty fantasy site I've ever found. 53 man rosters,(individual offensive lineman scoring, inside and outside linebacker designations) 10 man practice squads, restricted free agency, salary cap, contract cap, 7 round annual rookie drafts, performance salary multiplier,franchise tags, really anything you can think of that a real lif GM would have to do. Efsports.com. The problem is the site is probably going to go down if not this year then soon after, me and my league mates are really hard pressed to find anything even relatively close (no mfl isn't close at all) and since our league has been active since 1993 we really don't want to give up on it. So if anyone knows a site that is anything like this could you please point us in the right direction? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
