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.

It is ridiculous that yahoo does not allow offseason trades...especially in keeper and dynasty leagues. This may be a big enough hassle to justify moving my league back to CBS. This NEEDS to be fixed.

Can you guys make a dynasty format for football? Vampire league format? Would be cool to have some different format options for the best fantasy sports outlet out there.

Why is this the only fantasy format that does not allow off season trades? In my league we would like to make off season trades including both picks and players.

Please please please get pre draft trading/year round trading asap!! Dynasty has gotten way more popular over the last few years and managers are getting fed up with having to manually trade and i lost 2 managers last year because of this. Managers are now breathing down my neck to move the league this year but yahoo is my favorite platform and i'm trying my best to keep it together on here. I agree with the other comments on here that its crazy to not have pre draft trading yet considering that this post was in 2015. Espn has allowed it for awhile now, but there down fall is that they don't allow draft picks to be traded during the season. Please get this done Yahoo, don't know how much longer my dynasty league will survive without it.

it is difficult to migrate dynasty rosters to and from yahoo each year to another site that hosts year round. obviously you have the better product, which is why we migrate to Yahoo in-season, but what happens when other sites become comparable to yahoo?
Yahoo needs to stay ahead of the curve

Every year I am like, maybe this is the year Yahoo will make year round dynasty? NOPE. Not being able to view players on mobile before the draft is also unbelievable that is still not an option

I've moved both of my Yahoo leagues to Sleeper just for the dynasty function. Sleeper is good, but not near the level Yahoo is on.
YAHOO REALLY NEEDS TO ADD A YEAR LONG DYNASTY SETTING!!!! -

This needs to be a part of the Yahoo format going forward for those of us who are in need.

Trades and drops are great. No adds. But I agree with Jody down there. Its silly that this isn't already happening.

Let’s get this going for trades and drops. Allow comish to lock all adds. We track trades by excel right now. They close it in January and open it back up in April. Why not allow dynasty open for those extra 3 months?

I want to start by saying I have been playing Yahoo Fantasy Football since 2003. I have also played in several other leagues on competitors sites (ESPN, NFL, CBS, Reality Sports Online) and I consider Yahoo FAR SUPERIOR to all other formats I've played on in terms on user interface, player information, weekly/future stat projections, and mobile app to name a few. There are always a few gripes and quirks here and there, but the overall experience on Yahoo is fantastic in my opinion.
To echo some of the comments here, I would LOVE if Yahoo was able to implement a dynasty salary cap league similar to what RealitySportsOnline.com (RSO) offers. I have been competing in a league on RSO for a few years now and it is the most compelling type of league setup that's I've experienced for serious and engaged managers. For all the positives for Yahoo mentioned above, re-draft or keeper leagues don't come close to the intrigue provided in managing salary caps and free agents 4 years in advance in the game model on RSO.
Users understand RSO is a premium fantasy football product, and they pay fees to use the product accordingly. Though RSO does provide a great gameplay experience from a strategy perspective, unfortunately their user interface, player updates/information, weekly projections, mobile app, and pretty much everything else pales in comparison to what Yahoo offers. I'm sure users would have no issue paying a premium for a similar product offering from Yahoo. I know my RSO league-mates would love to move our operations to Yahoo should a similar game become available, even at a premium cost.

It may have been stated already but Yahoo really needs to add the ability to have an extended draft versus a simple live draft with 30/60/90 second timers.
Sleeper is a basic startup app and you can already set the timer to hours or days for rookie picks and the commissioner can suspend/pause the draft during the evenings/nights. It's a feature that just absolutely needs to be added if Yahoo wants to bring back dynasty players.
I'll agree with the original poster: if Yahoo made all the necessary additions for dynasty leagues, I would pay for my league to have access to the premium options available if the cost was reasonable.

trades yes but add/drops as OP said, NO WAY! do you guys not see the problem with that? so lets use saquan barkley as an example. football season is over, college season is over, like a month before the draft and like 50+ players entering the draft get added to the free agent pool on a random day in march? yeah thats really fair for a league. so now instead of the worst team getting to draft the best college players for their dynasty league the most active managers who randomly check their football team in february can just go pick up guys like barkley, zeke, etc for free in free agency.
yeah that will really go over well for the bottom dwelling teams in your league. good luck with that OP -

I really don't understand the implementation curve for something so fundamental to dynasty leagues. Let's get it done this year.

Yes. Please. Year round access to the league. That's what a dynasty league needs to have...but I feel like Yahoo doesn't care. This has been a request for several years.
