Fantasy Football sites...need your advice

[ShamelessWeasel]

I am the commissioner of our Fantasy Football league. For the last couple of years we have used Yahoo Plus service and overall it has been good. But we wish to see if some of the things we do not like about Yahoo (for example defensive points allowed point ranges are not configurable) are better on other sites

One thing our league really likes about Yahoo is that they give the champion a trophy at the end of the year. We would really like to keep this.

We are considering CBS Sportsline and NFL. Anyone out there use a site other than Yahoo for Fantasy football. If so, what do you like and dislike about it. if you have been a commish using a different site would you recommend it?

Thanks for any feedback

GO PATS!

I am in a league that uses CBS and we pay $129/yr. I really like it because it allows us to set just about any scoring we want. Very user friendly. I am co-commish of the league. It allows owners to make lineup changes 5 minutes before game, keeps track of all finances for all owners, and many other easy to use features. They do not provide a trophy for the winner. They just collect the money.

I have used the free Yahoo not the Plus. It is ok, but I prefer CBS --maybe because that league is $$$ and I have been in it 10 years.

I am also in a league that uses Fanball. I do not like this site, at all.

I thought even in my free Yahoo I could configure defensive point allowed ranges. I may be wrong but I will check that out later today.

Well I just renewed our WWTBAM free league and invites are going out to participants from last year. Draft is set for Sunday 8/24. Here are the league settings.

This is what I was talking about. You can change how much 1-6 points is but you can't break up it to 1-2, 3-4, 5-6.

Thanks for the feedback on CBS Do you know if CBS allows the defensive point breakdown I mentioned.

Also we are considering something different than head to head for the playoffs. Does CBS allow anything different than that (like round robin).

Here are the CBS settings (for our league). Yes I think you can do the defensive thing that you want.

Ok, I see that this did not copy/paste the best but I think you can see what you are looking for. If not let me know or ask away and I will answer if I can. You might want to also contact CBS with questions. They have a pretty detailed Help/FAQ page if you have a CBS ID.


Head to head and ranked (points based) are the two formats.

Not sure of the playoffs being able to be round robin. I believe there are many options for playoffs.

We do 14 week season (12 team league with 3 divisons) 6 teams make the playoffs, top 2 getting byes the first week. I ahve to go in an manually set the playoff games each week, so maybe you can do some type of round robin thing.
