We have been on Yahoo for about 8 years now. I have preferred it to ESPN, but I have some people suggesting we try something different.

I have tried looking into the Ottoneu league on Fangraphs, but I find no feedback on their scoring systems, and I can't tell what the UI looks like. Not sure if they have a mobile app or not either.

Does anyone have suggestions on what you are using; likes and dislikes???

Fantrax

It's not free, though, and there is a bit of a learning curve.

I'd pay for fantrax if it's a keeper or dynasty as their player list is unrivaled.

If it's a regular league espn works fine

Yahoo sucks

Depends what features you're looking for

Yeah, it is a keeper league... I am messing around with it right now... love some of the available stats to score with.

I haven't been prompted to pay anything yet.

Keeper or Dynasty?

Fantrax is for diehards. They have a really deep player pool, although ESPN's isn't too shabby. The thing I like about Fantrax is that you can include draft picks in trades. In ESPN you have to keep up with it manually. If that isn't a big deal, do ESPN. Also, as previously said, ESPN is free.

You cannot set up a new league on ESPN yet, though. They usually have the new stuff ready by the 1st week in Feb.

Yahoo was much better last year IMO. They do a lot of things well. They allow draft pick trading unlike ESPN. They have a nice app, and will open up their leagues before ESPN. The only main gripe I have is you can't access leagues in the offseason like you can to an extent with ESPN and definitely with Fantrax. If it is a hardcore league, I'd roll with Fantrax.

Thanks man... I may roll with this and see how we like it. Its just a deep keeper league... we don't do much with minors.

Fantrax is great but it takes some getting used to. Lots of features. It's deep and extensive and definitely not for everybody.

ESPN is my favorite for straight up play. I wish they would add a few more features like minor league roster spots or allowing you to a player in the round you drafted them the year prior without automatically keeping them at the top of the draft.

Yahoo sucks
