More Roster Spots
we want to open a league with defensive players, with just 30 roster spots, we cant really do that, we are going to use ESPN instead because they do 40, if it were 40 or 45 spots we would gladly use yahoo instead

There is plenty of space with 30 You can do QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DT, 2 DE, 4 LB, 2 CB, 2 S That's only 19 back up QB, RB, WR, TE/RB, K/DT DE, LB, CB, S = 28 + 2 IR.
This will make for a more competitive league than a 40-45 man league.
40-45 you get hoarders if anyone has a player on their roster who did not play in a game he is a hoarder.
3 QB on roster, 5 RB on roster, 5 WR on roster, leaves no one players to play with making for less competitive games.
Problem is everyone has gotten use to this nonsense.

I run a dynasty league interested in using a full set of IDPs. In total after accounting for the starters on both sides of the ball, and a full dynasty league bench size of 19, it leaves us at 40 total players on the roster. Why is the limit only 30 players?

Yes please do this ASAP. Lots of leagues want more than 30. For leagues that don't want more than 30, they of course don't have to use that capability so it should not have a negative impact on those leagues.

I believe in Deep Rosters, not Deep Benches.

I run an IDP, Dynasty league and I don't really think you need more roster slots. We have 22-man starting roster w/ 8 bench. I think its sufficient. My format includes 9 starting IDP positions. Too large of a roster depletes your Free Agent market too much.
I saw some guy request 50 slots, LOL... that's way, way to many. Maybe, maybe 40 but I still think that is too much. But with all that said, I would like the option to go up to 32 roster positions so I can increase my bench from 8 to 10 positions. So in a round-about way I do agree with an increase but 40 max for sure! -

Is this ever going to happen? I've had a dynasty league with Yahoo for 15 years now and we are waiting patiently for this to happen. More roster spots please!

The 30-man roster limits are too low, especially for dynasty, IDP leagues. Could we please up it to at least 40? It's been stuck on 30 for several years now. Thanks

Pease add more roster spots! It seems like a pretty simple addition that would open you up to many more Dynasty leagues being able to play on your site.

More roster spots than 30 is much needed. Also, the ability to keep fantasy football open year round.

45 possible roster spots would be great. For dynasty leagues and those with IDP, we really need this !

does your league have 4 players? we have 20 slots and start 2 defensive players (7 of which are bench)

MFL is the way to go. 45 player rosters? Must drag on for several hours. Ugh

I agree with additional roster spots, I have been a commissioner for several years, and have used 30 spots without IDP, this is the first year we have added IDP, and severely disappointed the bench numbers are restricted. I will actually be reading forums and suggesting several more changes, if Yahoo can't keep up with other sites, we will have to move on. I understand we take advantage that it is a free league, but there may be other options, anyone have any suggestions of other free leagues with more customizable options?

I currently use Yahoo for my Dynasty league because that's where our other leagues are and it allows for ease of access. That being said, it would certainly improve our league if we were allowed to have more roster spots. I can circumvent most other dynasty features you are lacking, such as off-season support, by using Google Docs and putting in work on my end, but the roster limit is one that is impossible to get around. Dynasty leagues are becoming more and more popular. These leagues are going to be taking their business to other sites like MFL if this simple change isn't made.
