For the past umpteen years, my fantasy football league has used Statsworld software for all its scoring/record-keeping. This season, Statsworld has been bought out by another company, [myfantasyleague.com](http://myfantasyleague.com). I was not overly impressed with my first look at their site, so I am asking for recommendations on what others here use.

I have two requirements:

1. It must have a completely customizable, robust scoring system. I need to be able to set up our scoring _exactly_ as it is now.
2. It must be very easy to use, for computer-wary folks. We’ve got several older members of the league who are…not very adept with computers. The process of submitting line-ups, conducting transactions and checking scores needs to be as simple as humanly possible. This is much more important than any bells and whistles a particular service may offer.

So, what service do you all use and how do find it? Thanks in advance.

I don’t have a recommendation for you but I’m curious why you don’t use any of the numerous online hosts like ESPN, SI Yahoo etc… How strange is your scoring system that you can’t make do with one of those?

Actually, our system is not all that complicated, but I haven’t looked at any of the free ones in years. Many years ago when those free ones first came online, I checked them out, and most if not all of them had either one set scoring system you had to use or a marginally customizable system. If that’s different now, I’ll happily check them out.
