Looking for a good Fantasy FB league site

Anyone know a good one to host our league this year? Our league has been using CBSsportline for the last 7+ years but the price keeps going up and up. Are there any other ones out there that are cheaper and just as good? If we can save money on league fees, there's more to add to the pot.

I heard fanball.com was decent but i also heard they have server problems at times which sucks when u need to set your lineup at the last minute.

thanks in advance to all!

fanball.com can't touch CBS. Actually I am not sure anyone can but you are right the price does go up all the time

you get what you pay for however. I wouldn't trust any of those other sites. The price goes up, but split between 10, 12 or however many teams you have, it really isn't all that bad.

Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

I agree with Dr. Jack. Fanball.com is great. Reasonable prices and can make just about any points system you want.

My big money league used Fanball for many years, We are switching this year

Fanball has gone downhill alot the last couple years. There were weeks last year that the live scoring updates weren't working for the whole afternoon, getting shut out of making last minute changes etc.

I was a huge supporter of them, now I think they're horrible

anybody ever used myfantasyleague.com? it doesn't look as slick as CBS but it seems like you can customize it to hell. setting it up may be a bitch but it's cheaper and flexible.

anyone had good/bad experiences with them?

I agree on Fanball as well. Since new ownership took over, the site has seemed to go down hill. There were several times last year I couldn't get into the site right before kick off to make my last minute changes.

I commish 2 leagues and we have been using myfantasyleague.com for last 6 years. Great site. This year paid $70 for 1st league and $60 for second. Although those are early bird prices, so not sure if you will get that price now, may be $10 more. Highly recommend it...

I have to agree with Wabash also. We have used them for 5 seasons now and I see no need to change.
