HowboutthemCowboys Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Yahoo. Free. Works absolutely fine for redraft (h2h, bb waivers etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 4 dynasty leagues, 1 best ball and 1 "mega league" (IBL) hosted on MFL. Honestly, for redraft, not sure why people would use it. It's no better than Yahoo (and some would say worse). I'm fine with using MFL for dynasty leagues because it does offer a lot of flexibility. And quite frankly, it's the only thing out there (as far as I know) that is flexible enough to handle the intricacies of many dynasty formats. MFL already pulls projections from... fantasy sharks, i think? but yeah it would be nice if there were another option similar to MFL (in terms of flexibility) that was able to pull rankings/projectsions from your choice of advice sites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 my local's on MFL and we pay around 70 or 80/yr. Their app is crap when looking at other site's app. We stay because of the history of the league. If that could port over, I would love to go to Yahoo and save the money. We're a redraft. I would also have to check and see if we can keep our scoring system if we leave. Not sure if Yahoo's that customizable or not. .03 per pass yard .06 per rush yard .06 per catch yard .2 for every rush attempt .6 for every catch things like this that we don't want to lose.

theeohiostate Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 MFL already pulls projections from... fantasy sharks, i think? Yes they do But they are sometimes incomplete and at other times not so good but it's free My biggest issue with mfl is the lack of easier accessed and detailed player stats , horrible live scoring updates and not mobile friendly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA Baracus Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) Yes they do But they are sometimes incomplete and at other times not so good but it's free My biggest issue with mfl is the lack of easier accessed and detailed player stats , horrible live scoring updates and not mobile friendly My biggest beefs with MFL are the terrible looking interface (particularly the live scoring) and non mobile friendliness. I dunno how you set up that scoreboard in The Ladder, but its pretty sweet. Wish I had that in my other MFL leagues. FYI...the best MFL app that I have found is MFL Platinum.

TurboCowboy Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 A while back, we were happy to pay $125 per year to Yahoo for their pro edition. Now it's free of course. $12.50 per team was nothing compared to our investment in the league. I truly LOVE their stat tracker that runs live during the games. The stats are so fast that they have them posted before the live broadcast through Dish Network due to a slight delay. Usually by several seconds. While we've had our complaints over the years with Yahoo, we now really like it. There's lots of ways they can improve though. And, another point others have made is that all your league's history is stored whatever site you use. That's pretty important to guys who have all been playing for around 15 years.
