Add SG/SF and PF/C Flex Position Option for Custom Leagues
Please allow custom leagues the option to use SG/SF (wing) and PF/C (big) as roster requirements. I see you added "frontcourt (FC)" this year, which is a step in the right direction, but is still too broad like the Util position and is not what we asked for. Are you just trying to mess with us now because we've been asking for flex positions for the last 8 years? Please add Wing (SG/SF) and Big (PF/C) as roster options in custom leagues. Trying to get this feature has taken years of my life.
Thanks for your suggestion. I will share that with our product team.

Tweak or new option for H2H points format
With the uneven amount of games per week, fantasy basketball could use a more fair format for H2H points leagues. I would like to suggest Yahoo offering a format that uses the fantasy teams' best 35 or 40 games in a given week's matchup. You can call it Top40, and each team can still try to start as many players as they want but in the weekly matchup the system only uses the top 40 scoring games that manager set in his lineup and drops the rest. Like fantasy football you can guarantee the H2H matchup uses the same #…

Prize Payments for Fantasy Basketball 2024-25
I won my Fantasy Basketball 2024-25 league (H2H-Cat130328) with my team, Filthy McNasty. It's been over 3 months since I won my league and I have yet to be awarded my prize winnings. I am due $120 for winning my league and would appreciate being awarded that amount immediately! I appreciate your cooperation in this matter!

How do I erase phishing?
How do I delete my team from a league I never joined? Yahoo Fantasy Basketball has me listed with two teams that I never joined, and says I can't delete them. I DON'T PLAY YAHOO FANTASY BASKETBALL. Here's what Yahoo tells me: "Team cannot be deleted once the team list is finalized." Considering I never joined the leagues, it seems like some sort of parasite.
These leagues are likely live draft lobby leagues. This means that once you clicked on the league, you were automatically enrolled in league. Once the draft begins, there is no way to leave that league nor is there a way to be removed from a basketball league once the season is over. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Graphical display of stats on live stats page - Distance from competition section
Hi I wanted to talk about the graphics used to display the distance from competition information.
My league came down to the wire, my friend needed 2 assists to force a tie for first place, and maybe 16 rebounds to win it all.
I took a screen shot of his distance from competition page and it doesn't in any way represent this information well. Indeed you can't see from the graphics how close those two categories are.
In fact, at the start of the day when I took the screen shot he was ahead on one person in steals by…

Non-playoff teams making add/drops
This is a prize league. According to the settings, eliminated teams should have been locked. Teams that did not make the playoffs and/or subsequently eliminated/lost were still picking up players on waivers throughout the entire playoffs. This should never happen in any league especially a prize league. I will not play in a Yahoo! pay/prize league again because this is highly unfair to teams trying to win
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback!
Please note that the 'Lock eliminated teams' setting only locks teams that are eliminated from both playoff and consolation bracket contention. If a manager is still competing in a consolation bracket, they will have the option to add or drop players. We will share your comments with our Product team for consideration in the future.
Thank you for reaching out.

cheating
Funny how the league im in now is cheating. Placing players in the lineup after the games have started so they can try to win.
It is not possible to move players in your lineup after their games have already started for the day in fantasy basketball, but if you are in a public (free or prize) or private prize league and believe cheating is occurring, please contact us under the sports section at help.yahoo.com.

I did not want to play Fantasy baseball points. This was not clear when I started the draft. I would not have chosen it. I drafted my team t
It was not made clear to me that the draft now feature was points instead of categories. I did not draft my team accordingly. If I had the choice I would not have chosen points. I do not wish to play points. The draft for teams with categories is a week off. This is wholly unacceptable. I will not use yahoo fantasy again if this is not corrected.
The league that you signed up for is referred to as an "Instant Draft." This means that, once you enter the draft lobby, you're automatically placed in a public league. Head-to-Head Points is the new default scoring type for public leagues, but you can still join Head-to-Head Categories leagues via the draft later option instead of the draft now option. Once the draft is over, it's not possible for you or Yahoo to remove or transfer your team from the league. I'm pretty sure this isn't what you hoped to hear, but do know that you're not obligated to visit the team pages for the entirety of the season. If you'd like to stop participating in the league, you can disable email notifications for your team.

Add regular season winner in historical "all time" view
I really like the "all time" view that was added this year which shows the top 3 rankings. I also think adding whoever was the top regular season player that year would be a nicer holistic view if possible.

When will Drew Timme from the Brooklyn Nets be added to the pool of available players this year?

Thank you for reaching out regarding Drew Timme's availability in fantasy basketball. Timme was added to the player overnight and he is subject to your league's waiver rules.

If you lose your top 3 draft picks to injury your next best player shouldn’t be on a can’t cut list
The can’t cut players should be fixed at day after trade deadline. If a managers best 3 players are lost because of injury their fourth best player at the time should not be on the can’t cut list. That penalizes good managers for finding new players mid way through the season. In other words if a manager loses their best player after the end of the trade period they should not be restricted by any can’t cut limitations.
