Dynasty/Keepers - Leave league open to allow trading, adds, and drops during the offseason.
This would allow managers to make all league transactions within the platform, including adds, drops, and trades, throughout the year.

Supplemental Draft for rookies is super important for dynasty. Have the option to remove all rookies from the regular draft and have a separate rookie draft with customization on rounds.
Rookie Bench spots is also something that is needed. Come on yahoo!! make it happen!!

Yes - this is VERY much needed. We've been tracking trades offline all year, it is becoming quite cumbersome

For fantasy football, please add a dynasty option for your leagues. Many other places have the option, and I love yahoo’s interface the most (even if stat tracker doesn’t work perfectly). Without it, it makes commish’s jobs a little bit trickier, and instead of having to leave yahoo, it would be great to have the option. All commish’s thank you.

I need this, too. Rosters shouldn't be locked. There have been two trades, and I have to tell those four teams to make a false keeper. Please let us do offseason trades before we set our keepers!!!

I have ran a dynasty league through Yahoo for several years and propose the following changes to make it easier to do so. Our league members have talked each year about switching to another site because Yahoo doesn't have tolls in place, but overall we like the site, so we make do with the site as-is.
1, Leave the site up all year so owners can see their teams, players, etc.
2. Allow trades all year.
3. Allow trades in future years. I believe right now, we can only trade next year's picks, but it would be nice to trade farther out.
4. Sort bench players by position, and sort rosters by position. It makes it more difficult to evaluate line-ups (especially of other teams) when there is no organization to the way players on a team is sorted.
Thank you

Adding add/drop feature PRE-DRAFT this allows dynasty GMs to add in offseason trades, then GMs can pick keepers with their proper players and we can then online draft, this would make dynasty leagues so much easier and better to use!

to continue from the post below... in a keeper league, a trade was just made (May 26th) Of course, the trade could not be offered and accepted on Yahoo, so it was done by private email between the parties. Commish tries to use Commish's adjust teams/roster function and get this result:
The league has not drafted. You cannot make this action. (Error #156)
The league has not drafted. You cannot make this action. (Error #156)Frankly, this is beyond stupid. Of course the commish should be allowed to move the players. In fact, the ordianry trade functionality should remain open to allow the teams to make the trade upon commissioner approval just like after the draft and during the season. I fail to understand why Yahoo doesn't get this. It's not that complicated. Yahoo is so behind the times. Well, I guess you get what you pay for. Which in Yahoo's case is nothing. Absolutely ridiculous.
Hey Yahoo Administrators... how about it? Or do you want to keep Yahoo in the dark ages? And just why is Yahoo so damned stupid? It's like a bunch of children are runnig the show.

it is so damned frustrating that our keeper leagues and dynasty leagues can't make trades or do anything until after our draft in late August. It's ridiculous and pathetic. Commish has to track everything on a spread sheet, and even he has no power to move players from one team to another until after the draft. Yahoo is so behind the times and utterly incompetent when it comes to keeper and dynasty format. Geez... how many years does it take for Yahoo to wake up and see what people want.

It is time consuming to have to use a third party collaborating cloud service and input the trades later. The problem is some managers are over the max roster in dynasty leagues due to IR spots being filled from previous year. Before the draft can be initiated, people must make roster cuts. It would be nice to trade players on the site beforehand. Speaking of which, the players are shown as still on roster on website but the "My Team" tab on mobile is bare.

Yahoo is great, except for dynasty leagues.
Needs: year round support, larger benches, better draft pick trading, in-draft trading

I am wanting to turn my redraft League that is on yahoo into a dynasty league. It would be awesome to have that option without having to go to a different host.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR YEARS!!! WE LOVE YAHOO'S SETUP, BUT OFFSEASON TRADING ON A SPREAD SHEET IS REALLY INCONVVENIENT!!! PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN SOON YAHOO!!

Please create a dynasty league option that leaves the league open for transactions all year

Hoping that this happens VERY SOON... I have been playing on yahoo since 2001 and just started a dynasty league this year. We did it through Yahoo hoping that I could manipulate the setup to accommodate the necessities, but it's quickly becoming apparent that we will not be able to. If this is not setup soon, I will have to move the league to another site, but I really like having all of my leagues in one place.

Allow the Commissioner to decide whether teams can trade draft picks with one another leading up to Draft Day. Draft picks can be traded during the season, why not in the offseason

Ed Morris commented
I've commented on this before, it what is the reason, Yahoo does not begin tracking transactions as soon as we register the league?
When I reregister, and I have a full complement of owners, we should be able to begin league business. Not where I have to keep track of deals and guys forgetting who traded whom.

Need taxi squad/development bench!! A separate bench where we can draft rookies and keep them safe, without counting against bench, for development.
