Dynasty League Platform - EVERYONE

[Pac_Eddy]

Ive played on almost all the platforms except RSO. Sleeper is my unquestioned favorite. Its the best combo of everything.

Free
Good UI
Dynasty support
Decent customization (and getting better)
Involved Dev team
Perfect for those who rely on mobile devices


This year I am in 3 dynasty leagues. 2 on Sleeper and 1 on MFL. I love all 3 leagues, but I really hate the UI on MFL. I dont even log into that team half as often as my Sleeper leagues even though its an awesome league (shoutout to Early Bird Special leaguemates!)

I like a lot about what sleeper has done so far, and hope they keep improving and fixing the few glitches we found in the test league we ran... but I have to say the mascot thing annoys the hell out of me. Gives it a mobile game with in - game purchases feel (purchasing jerseys and such for them). If I could turn those off I'd like Sleeper a lot more than I do now (I know it's how they make their money though, so unlikely to change).

I agree the mascots are obnoxious. And I'll say its vastly better on mobile devices then desktops.

That's one of my concerns about Sleeper too. I'd much rather pay a straight fee to use a good site than be pestered by ads and mascots or visual upgrades.

4 leagues, all on RSO. I have used MFL before, I didn't care for the user interface. I LOVE the salary cap/contracts structure that RSO uses, and the online Free Agent Auction kicks @$$...

Just for the record, I didn't include the option for multiple sites because I am looking for the one you consider your primary hoster ... or the one you'd choose if you were going to ditch every league and drop back to only one. If someone uses MFL for 8 leagues and 1 on sleeper, in the voting it would look like the two were used equally.

I consolidated all my leagues to fleaflicker this last off-season. I've played on MFL before, but I wasn't a fan of it.

mfl, but i absolutely hate the user interface. It's criminal that they don't upgrade their stuff with all the money they must be raking in.

I get PTSD thinking I'll get booted offline if somone picks up the phone every time I see the homepage.

I have to believe that one of these websites with a functional UI (looking at you, Yahoo) could take the majority of MFLs business just by keeping their software up year round.

The league I commish is on Yahoo because MFL is too tedious to moderate with all the different options. I've been hearing a lot of good things about Sleeper though and may give that a shot.

Mostly mfl, which I do enjoy because it can handle a lot of options and I can watch them all at the same time. I have one on rso and am starting another. It doesnt have all the scoring options of mfl but I do like the way it handles contracts better than mfl

All of my leagues are on MFL. I’ve never had any problems out of it so far and have been playing exclusively dynasty leagues going on 6 years now.

Sleeper for me. Free and simple. Mascots don't bother me and are purely optional. I got a couple for free from them and enjoy using them in group chat and for matchups.

Just migrated 1 league to Sleeper from MFL and did a startup on Sleeper, so haven't done an actual season yet, but my 2 big gripes so far are

1. The league chat is really slow and clunky, everyone in both leagues hates it, so we are sticking with GroupMe for chat

2. The bigger one, it does not display draft pick numbers in the trade screen when you are offering or receiving trades. All it says is "Bobcats 2020 1st round pick" and then you have to back out and go look at the draft board and see exactly which pick in the 1st round originally belonged to the "Bobcats". They need to fix it so it tells us exactly which pick it is once the order has been officially decided.

Overall so far the only advantage I'm seeing in Sleeper over MFL is the fact that it's free, but I really don't care about having to pay for MFL. As it stands at the moment I will not be joining any more Sleeper leagues and will stick with MFL.

MFL - 13
Sleeper - 1

The Sleeper hype is a bit out of control. It's great there is a new compeition and that they are quickly adding additional features. But Sleeper is a ways off of over taking MFL. Substance over style. I wish MFL would do an overhaul on their interface, as it isn't very appealing. I also think there is a bit of a learning curve on using MFL, but once you get acclimated it's easy to navigate and find what you need. It is also complicated from a commissioner's persepctive, because it is so powerful.

My favorite thing about MFL is their XML API, that easily allows me to pull in data about all my leagues into Excel. I've created a workbook that with a click of a button I can pull in all the rosters in my leagues, along with their scoring, see who is available in what leagues, etc.

I helped move a league that was on Yahoo to Sleeper last year. It was brutal. Missing a lot of features, such as double headers, player copies, etc. Not to mention not even close to MFL as being able to tweak things to your exact specifications.

Sleeper is fine if your league is basic and are fine with the settings available. One of my biggest pet peeves is the inability to view all the rosters on a single page.
