Your idea with the Super Powers? I wouldn't want to spend much money on that league either. 

I didn't hear about them until starting my dynasty league. They aren't as good as MFL but still leaps and bounds better than any other free site. 

 

You just have no sense of adventure.

 

And come on, Yahoo and ESPN are pretty darned good, for free sites.

The idea of that league is intriguing but I wouldn't spend money on it. 

Yahoo and ESPN are good for redraft. Keeper/dynasty they are very lacking. The customization on Fleaflicker is awesome when it comes to dynasty leagues.

Ok, you may be right there.  I don't play in keeper/dynasty leagues so I wouldn't know.

Can anyone offer and inside into sites apps that offer an email draft that i can then import into yahoo? We are not going to be able to change from yahoo. And in my MFL leagues Ive done an email slow draft and want to do the same format and then import to yahoo. Anyone offer any help or suggestions?

[klownkollege 105]

What's up with yahoo?  I re enrolled our league but every time I enter, it only gives me the option of joining a new league or creating another one.  Never seen that before, desktop fine, but mobile pads have the issue

Fleaflicker

 

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if FleaFlicker arose from the ashes of AntSports or is in some way related to them?  The little silhouette of the bug wearing a helmet with antennae, and the larger "flea" logo itself are very reminiscent of (if not the same as) the logos that used to be used by AntSports.

 

I kinda liked AntSports, because they were the first place I know of that ran kind of a precursor to Draft Masters leagues--mock drafts that they saved and scored throughout the season.  There was no money involved, but it was still a fun place to go and practice drafting, with some bragging rights on the line if your draft worked out during the season.  They were even one of the first sites to incorporate auction drafting into their software.

 

It seems like FleaFlicker would be a little more polished by now if they had the AntSports software as a platform to develop over the last 15 years or so, but I was just curious.  Anyone know?

If your league is active, I've found I can get back in by going to Yahoo, clicking "Sports", and then if you are logged in, at the top on the left there should be a "My Teams", and underneath will be any teams that you follow (Giants, Yankees, Knicks, for example) followed by "Fantasy Teams".  Use that link instead of the one down below that says "Fantasy Football", because that takes you to the screen you are talking about.

When you go to draft options, one of them is email draft. You need to make sure the league is full as it starts right away.

I need help customizing my playoff schedule.  I am on ESPN.  12 teams.  5 make the playoffs:

 

Round 1; 1 week

Seed 5 vs Seed 4

 

Round 2 (Semis); 2 weeks

Seed 1 vs winner of round 1

Seed 2 vs Seed 3

 

Round 3 (Championship); 2 weeks

Winners from previous round

 

Is this possible to format on ESPN?

No clue, but why would you want 5 weeks of playoffs? 

[Axe Elf 2,540]

If you have a league where you have Commish powers, and not just a public league, you can MAKE it work.

 

Even if you can't set the schedule to match those two teams together, you can just look at their individual team scores in that week, and then manually set up a playoff bracket from that point on, with the team that scored more points that week as the #4 seed and the other three seeds from the regular season.

Axe, you can make it work with me ANY time

Set your playoffs to two rounds, and 2 weeks per round.  and when you get to week 12/13 (depending when your final week of playoffs are), manually adjust the schedule so the teams that would be seeds 4 and 5 play each other.

I think its light, responsive, flat, and easy to use.

 

Good user experience so far.

NOVICE PPR QUESTION.

 

Trying to set up our first PPR league on ESPN Custom. I don't see where RBs get one point per reception. I see where they get one point per rush however. Is that normal, or am I missing something?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

[kwelch 969]

Ignore the above. I see what I was doing wrong.

Anyone else hate the new Yahoo app?

[JHM_13 463]

Might be slow to the game here, but anyone ever play on Fantrax?  I just checked it out and I'm thinking about switching my work league from Yahoo to that.  Been so stuck with Yahoo I never realized what customization options were out there. Was pretty impressed with everything that Fantrax can do.

Yep.  Best site out there in my opinion.  The options just seem endless.  The site runs really well.   Good writers.  Love how you can see all sorts of stats for your players.   More information and stats available then the regular Yahoo, ESPN, CBS type sites.   I haven't tried the App,  I never use Apps,  so not sure about that but the site itself is awesome.   I still do some Yahoo and ESPN leagues here and there but every time I go to one of my Fantrax teams,  whether Baseball, Basketball or Football it's just such a better experience than those other sites.

Can you not post on the message board from the Yahoo app?
