    Hey.


    In our keeper league, we're going on 10 years, it's a keeper over at Yahoo.

    We've recently thought about the excitement of going to a Cap league. Unfortunately, Yahoo doesn't do that - to the best of our knowledge

    Our best bet Id imagine is Fantrax.

    Can someone please share their experiences with me? We'd like to move, but moving all of the league isn't something we want to do, after having the first 9 over with Yahoo.

    We're ok in spending the money to open up a cap league with Fantrax.

    Opinions?


    Thanks,
    Chico.

    rip it off like a bandaid and move to fantrax .

    just be patient with them as they finish off the 2.0 interface upgrade and you'll be fine.

    you guys playing in sal cap leagues should be paying more for your leagues though at fantrax as they suck up more resources lol.....

    should be tiered pricing over there for leagues that use limited premium features imo

    Your league looks very standard, so you could set up a Fantrax league for free.

    After moving over to fantrax, I find yahoo absolutely painful to use for anything but a very shallow 1-year league.

    This is exactly what I was going to say. I was in a very similar situation, my league was on ESPN for 9 years but we continued to hate more and more things about that platform. So last year we took the plunge and jumped into Fantrax. Yes, there were some growing pains (more about learning how to do things on Fantrax after being so used to ESPN). But the first season went great and we haven't given one second of thought to not using Fantrax going forward. But don't just have one foot in. You need to go all in and push through the initial learning curve.

    Their 2.0 interface is great and the pages that are still on 1.0 are fully usable.

    I made the switch to Fantrax 4 yrs ago and haven't looked back.
    Fantrax is fairly simple to navigate to set up a league and their support is top notch.
    Make the move - you won't regret it.

    I actually can't get used to the 2.0 - it just doesn't work for me. I hope they keep the older version available (but they likely won't).
