Hey everyone,
My buddies and I who have all played fantasy for years have finally decided to get a keeper league going. The problem is we got the idea and enough people to late to do it in time for this year. But since this is the time of year everyone has ffb on the mind i figured i would get the league up and running. I have the rules, money, and keeper rules done. i sent them along to some of the guys who are going to be in the league and they all like them. My question is what site should i use to run this league?? i dont want to pay to much money each year since this isnt going to be a real high stakes league ($100-$150 per team). Does anyone have any good suggestions? Looking for something under $100. thanks in advance guys.

ESPN is free and they support Keeper Leagues. All of your players from this year will remain on the rosters until next year at this time. There will be a place you can check for your keepres and the other players are deleted from the teams and put back into the player pool for the draft. No muss, no fuss.

I only use FleaFlicker for my leagues. It is free, and overall the site is less cluttered. It has the the most customization than any other host and if you anticipate a half online, half live draft, you almost have to use it. I don't know if any other host supports that.

On the downside, there is no android app yet, though the site functions fully in mobile browsers.

Yahoo has both android and iphone apps, a bit less customization, but imo is surrounded by too many fluffy news and articles. Plus, there are a LOT of people who like using yahoo as practice drafts. The quit rate is rather high. If you intend on having more than one online league and want to keep them all in one place, then I wouldn't recommend yahoo.

The only time I used ESPN I was disappointed in it, but that was 6 years ago.

If you are looking for a host that combines holding your league's money plus hosting, I know they exist but I have no experience with them. You should be able to find a couple by perusing other 'what host' threads.
