    Hey guys, i manage a keeper league with salary cap and I'm looking for options/opinions please:

    Fantrax seems to do everything, but the cost is an issue.

    Can Yahoo have different scoring points by position? Ie. Forward= 1 point defense= 1.5

    Any other suggestions are welcome

    I do not believe Yahoo has weighting for points by position.
    Maybe ESPN... haven't used that site in 7+ years though.

    I used to have one of my annual leagues in ESPN because I liked getting to use multiple interfaces and multiple sets of player comments.

    ESPN allows a full customization if you are doing points. One league I made had G = 3pt, A = 2, HIT = 0.3, SV = 0.4, SA = -0.2,
    you can get very creative. Not sure about cap features though, and I don't really like their draft interface.

    From what I can tell Fantrax is the only one that offers cap. I don't mind paying the premium as we just take it off the winnings. Much better than having to use excel haha

    I've never tried ESPN. Better than yahoo?

    I think you'll be hard pressed to find free sites that will give you non-standard things like this.

    Yeah I'm pretty sure Fantrax does what you need without any cost. You pay for additional features.

    Not for hockey, no. I do like it for football though.

    Are you not able to split the cost between owners? It's really not much per person if you guys are dedicated hockey guys...

    Exactly. How many hobbies can you find where the cost is $6 per year? Not that many.
