Free online Fantasy Football with Realtime stats

[JimKiler]

AOL.com must be hurting cause you get everything espn fantasy football does for free.

http://fantasysports.aol.com/

I have no idea if this is good, I am currently setting up a league but appears to allow a lot of customization.

Here is a list of what AOL offers.


Feature
League Base Price
Advanced Commissioner Controls
Commissioner Stories
Customizable Scoring
Decimal Scoring
Double Headers
Draft Kit
Expert Analysis
Individual Defensive Players
League Message Boards
Live Draft Room
Live Scoring
Owners Stories
Record Books


If anyone has any other recommendations for cheap or free fantasy football let me know. Seems to be a lack of reviews on these apps and online subscriptions.

That AOL deal actually looks pretty decent.

Yahoo offers a free service, but it does not allow much customization.

This year, Sportsline and ESPN have both gone free.

Sportsline has free real time scoring but does not offer an "off-line" draft option.

ESPN offers full customization but no real time scoring for free.

Each has their perks, but I think the AOL is a solid option overall.

Looks like an excellent deal for many fantasy leagues!

Does it have cell phone option?
Or league Finances page, where it can keep track of who owes what?

We signed up for the Yahoo Plus, which works out to $12.50 per team for 10 team league, (or $6.25 per team if you have 20 teams).
Previous years went with their free league.
I like the Plus feature of total access from your cell phone, so you can add free agents, make lineup changes, trades, live match scoring, etc, all from any bar you happen to be at.

Plus, they give the winner a Plaque or TeeShirt (of course not in Florida)

I will have to check this out. The only reason I use Yahoo anymore is because of their Fantasy sports. I've totally switched my email usage to Gmail.

Does anyone know how many teams you can have with AOL's fantasy football?

Trying foxsports one this year. Seems ok so far. Only problem is things like the league BB are still "comming soon"...
