    After 1 year on Yahoo (hated it), 8 years on ESPN (ok, but terrible support and I find they do not focus on developing their hockey platform), we just made the switch to Fantrax for this upcoming season. It was based on the overwhelming recommendations I've read over the years on the dobber forums. I've heard there can be a bit of a learning curve (we're currently going through this). But once you get comfortable I've heard you never look back.
    12 Team Weekly H2H, Daily Lineups. Keep 7 + 1 Prospect (<164 NHL games).
    Scoring:
    PLAYER: G(3), A(2), D Pts(addt'l 0.7), +/-(0.5), PPP(addt'l 1), SHP(addt'l 0.5), SOG(0.4), BLK(0.8)
    GOALIE: W(2), GA(-1.5), Saves(0.3), SO(3)
    Positions - 3C, 2RW, 2LW, 4D, 2G, 5 Bench, 4 IR, 1 prospect

    C - J Hughes(LW), Hintz, Malkin, Pinto
    LW - M Tkachuk(RW), Robertson
    RW - Rust, Necas, Zuccarello
    D - Makar, Fox, Bouchard, Roy, Krug
    G - Oettinger, Thompson, Wedgewood
    Prospect Keeper - L Hughes(D)
    IR - Hill(G)

    2024 Picks - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

    We are a league of 24 teams. Is it too big of a league for the site? How much does it cost approx.?

    Thanks again!
    Fantrax doesnt have to cost anything if your league is fairly basic .I believe your league is the maximum size to fit under their free product (24 or under).

    Agreed 100%. Hopefully they revamp their app, and especially, make one for Android!

    They do have an app for Andriod (you need to manually install it though). On the bottom right of any Fantrax webpage, click on the button that says "Download for Andriod". To Savvy1982's point though, once their new website design is complete, it should be fully mobile friendly and there won't be a need for an app.

    Exactly! I recently changed from iPhone to Android and Fantrax was one of the first searches I did in the Play Store. As it's been pointed out, the mobile site is still pretty great. The app is better for lineup changes mind you, which is a daily task

    Again, much thanks and rep given!

    Fantrax app can be frustrating at times but as a few others mentioned once their website is finally complete with revamp all pages will be mobile friendly
