Fantasy Football players... Which online service would you recommend?
Hey everyone, I need some advice on which service is best for the money. We are getting close to the deadline is a few leagues in renewing services and I could use some advice as to your experiences in the leagues you've played in.
What I am hoping to find is a service that will let two individual leagues of 12 owners, play against each other occasionally ala the Interleague matchups in baseball, and be interactive (able to see each other's leagues). We'll start off with the service I am most familiar with, Sportsline.com. They have a ok service, albeit rather expensive at $129.99 but its fairly flexible and has marginal to fast player updates. However, their real-time scoring left something to be desired last year and they did not have great support if you had problems. Not to mention the strange transactions bugs they had occasionally and the terrible interface when drafting. We lost alot of time trying to get some owners to make their picks because of the javascript they used. I had little experience with ESPN.com's service last year but the previous year before was a total trainwreck over there. The draft disaster over two years ago there was enough to shy me away from using their service. Is anyone familiar with Fanball.com's service? Are they pretty decent? I know the price over there is good but do they have good flexibility as well? They seem to have outstanding player updates during the season. Yahoo always seems decent, but I personally have never tried it. Thoughts about them? I know they have pretty fast updates as well. Any recommendations? |

Well, the site that I write for (we are currently overhauling the content on the site) Fantasysportsacademy.com has a league manager that's relatively in-expensive and offers everything you are looking for.
Check it out. They have a demo mode where you can see how the league manager works.

My son using Yahoo a LOT. He said their pay service site may be able to do what you are looking for he knows you can breaks leagues into divisions and make your own head to head schedule.

The league I am in used Rotoworld last year and it was pretty cool. We had 2 divisions where you played everyone in your division twice, and everyone in the other division once. Worked out pretty well.

The hardest part about trying an interleague format for me is letting each league view the other league's status. That was a big gripe over on Sportsline last year. I really wish they would have had a "guest" account so outsiders could view the league at bare minimum. |
