One of the many things that we feel really differentiates MyFantasyLeague.com from other fantasy football league management sites is our developer’s program, which allows third-party developers to get access to MyFantasyLeague.com data in an industry-standard XML format.   This has allowed many folks to come up with some really creative add-ons to the core MyFantasyLeague.com product, including:

• MFLHistory.com, which offers an amazing array of historical league reporting options.
• FantasySharks.com, who offers their “draft coach” and “lineup coach” for customized recommendations on who to draft or who to start in your fantasy football league.
• FanDraft, which allows you to have your in-person, off-line draft results automatically entered into your MyFantasyLeague.com league.

And starting this season, we’re happy to announce a new Android-based application, MyFantasyLeague.com Tracker.  This application is for Android-based cell phones, including the new Motorola Droid.  So, if you’ve got an Android phone, and want to check out this cool new application, look in the Android Market under the “Apps > Sports” section, or search Android Market for “myfantasyleague”,  or visit this web page.

And if you’re a third-party developer who would like to develop your own applications for MyFantasyLeague.com fantasy football leagues, be sure to check out our Developer’s Program for more details!

Some fantasy football leagues have an end-of-season trade deadline.  If your league does, you can enter a new “No Trades Allowed” calendar event on the “For Commissioners > Setup > League Calendar Setup” page.

In addition, new for the 2009 season is a home page module called “Countdown To Trade Deadline“.  You can add that to your league home page via the “Home Page Modules and Tabs Setup” page, so all owners in your league can easily see how much time they have left until your trade deadline.

We’re happy to announce a new site feature – a “Fantasy Preview” report.   Like our draft recaps and fantasy recaps, these are system-generated write-ups for your league – in this case, it’s a preview of fantatsy matchups in your league.  Here’s an example of one for week 9.  You can see the “Fantasy Preview” report for your own league using the “Reports > Franchise > Fantasy Preview” menu option.

We’re considering this a “beta” feature right now.  That means we hope that it’s almost ready for everyone to use, but there might still be some things that don’t look or work quite right yet.  If you find something that’s a little off, or have any suggestions or ideas for how we can improve this feature (or anything else on the site, for that matter!), feel free to submit a support ticket to us via the “Help > Help Center” menu item.
