Can I import my Fantrax league directly into League Tycoon?

Yes. League Tycoon has a built-in Fantrax import. You provide the Secret ID from your Fantrax profile, or a link to the league. The import brings over your teams and owners, full rosters, league settings and scoring, future draft picks, team logos, salaries and contract years, and your past seasons.

Do Fantrax salaries and contract years come over?

Yes. Fantrax is one of the platforms that exposes salary and contract data, so a Fantrax salary cap league imports directly into a League Tycoon contract dynasty league with salaries and contract lengths intact. Caps larger than League Tycoon's 10,000 maximum are scaled by a power of ten rather than clipped, and every salary is scaled by the same factor, so a $300,000,000 cap becomes $3,000 and a $50,000,000 player becomes $500. Relative value is preserved exactly.

Will I lose my league history when switching?

No. League Tycoon imports up to 20 past seasons and rebuilds them as browsable seasons with standings, week-by-week matchups and lineups, playoff brackets, and final standings. The same import fills your Hall of Fame with all-time standings, head-to-head records, trophies for past champions, and all-time high scores.

Is there anything Fantrax does not hand over?

Fantrax does not expose playoff or waiver configuration through its API, so those two settings become items on your post-import checklist rather than being guessed at. The import preview lists them, along with anything else that will not carry over, before you commit to creating anything.

Does League Tycoon support the same scoring formats as Fantrax?

League Tycoon supports a wide range of scoring configurations for dynasty fantasy football, including PPR, half-PPR, and standard scoring with customizable settings. If you have a heavily customized Fantrax scoring setup, check the league creation flow to confirm your specific rules are supported.

Is League Tycoon free?

Standard dynasty leagues are completely free with zero ads. Contract dynasty, which adds salary caps, contracts, and advanced cap management, is available on a paid tier.

What if some league mates prefer Fantrax?

Share the League Tycoon app link in your group chat and let people explore on their own. The modern interface and cleaner mobile experience tend to win people over quickly. You can also point them to the comparison page if they want a side-by-side look at the differences.

Guide

Switch from Fantrax to League Tycoon

Fantrax is highly customizable and supports multiple sports. League Tycoon is the cleaner, more streamlined dynasty-first alternative with a modern mobile app, integrated contract management, and trade auctions. If your league is focused on dynasty fantasy football, here is how to make the switch.

Built-in import

You do not have to rebuild your Fantrax league by hand

League Tycoon imports Fantrax leagues directly. Give it the Secret ID from your Fantrax profile, or a link to the league. The import brings over your rosters, league settings and scoring, future draft picks, team logos, contracts where the source has them, and up to 20 seasons of league history. Past seasons come back as real seasons you can browse week by week, with standings, matchup lineups, playoff brackets, and final standings.

Fantrax exposes salary and contract data, so a Fantrax salary cap league imports with its contracts intact. Fantrax does not expose playoff or waiver configuration, so those two become review items rather than guesses.

How league import works

Why leagues switch from Fantrax

Fantrax gives you a lot of knobs to turn, and that flexibility works well for multi-sport leagues or formats that need heavy customization. But for dynasty fantasy football specifically, many commissioners find the platform heavier than it needs to be. These are the reasons leagues make the move to League Tycoon.

✓Cleaner, modern UX
League Tycoon was designed from scratch for dynasty football. The interface is fast, uncluttered, and easy for every league mate to pick up.
✓Modern mobile app
A native mobile experience on iOS and Android. No pinch-zooming or navigating desktop layouts on a phone.
✓Trade auctions built in
Transparent trade auctions with visible offers, anti-sniping timers, and market-driven outcomes. No more backroom deals or trade drama.
✓Integrated contract management
Salary caps, contracts, dead money, franchise tags, and cap tracking are built into the platform. No spreadsheets, no manual workarounds.
✓Zero ads included free
Standard dynasty on League Tycoon is ad-free. On Fantrax, removing ads requires a paid subscription.
✓Dynasty-focused platform
Every feature is built with dynasty leagues in mind. You get tools designed for long-term league management instead of features spread across multiple sports.

What you gain on League Tycoon

Beyond a cleaner day-to-day experience, League Tycoon gives your league access to features that are either unavailable or require workarounds on Fantrax.

Trade auctions

Put players on the block, let the league compete with visible offers, and let the market decide market price.

Slow auction drafts

Async auction drafts that run over days or weeks, perfect for offseason roster building.

Contract dynasty

Full salary cap management with contracts, extensions, franchise tags, dead money, and cap penalties. All automated.

Compensatory draft picks

Automatic compensatory pick generation based on free agent losses, just like the NFL.

Hall of Fame and league history

Track your league's legacy with all-time standings, trophies, records, and historical stats.

Draft lottery

Configurable draft lottery system to discourage tanking and keep every team invested.

Step-by-step migration guide

The import handles the parts that used to make this a weekend project. Here is the path.

1. Grab your Fantrax Secret ID

Open your Fantrax profile and copy your Secret ID. A link to the league works too. The offseason is the ideal time to switch since there is no live scoring to worry about.

2. Run the import

In League Tycoon, open Tools, choose Import League, pick Fantrax, and paste the Secret ID or league link. Choose standard dynasty or contract dynasty, and choose how many past seasons to bring over.

3. Review the preview before anything is created

You see every team, roster counts, how many players matched, the settings being mapped, any salary cap scaling, which teams would land over the cap, and anything that will not carry over. Nothing exists until you approve it.

4. Work the post-import checklist

Unmatched players, scoring rules to confirm, contract years and contract rules, and the playoff and waiver settings Fantrax does not expose. Each item deep links to the screen that resolves it.

5. Invite league mates

Share the league invite link. Each league mate claims their own team from a list and sees their roster, contracts, and team logo immediately.

6. Run a test period

Let everyone explore the platform before the season starts. Process a few test trades or waiver claims so people get comfortable with the interface.

7. Go live

Once everyone is set up, your league is running on League Tycoon. Contracts, trades, drafts, scoring, and communication are all in one place.

For salary cap and contract leagues

If your Fantrax league runs a salary cap format with manual contract tracking, the switch to League Tycoon is especially impactful. League Tycoon's contract dynasty format automates everything that commissioners typically manage in spreadsheets: salary caps, contract extensions, franchise tags, dead money, and cap penalties.

You do not have to reprice a single player. The import reads salaries and contract years straight from Fantrax and writes them onto your League Tycoon rosters. From that point forward, the platform handles all cap math, contract expirations, and cap compliance automatically. No more spreadsheet reconciliation at 1 AM on a Tuesday.

Fantrax salary cap leagues often run caps far larger than League Tycoon's 10,000 maximum. Those are scaled by a power of ten rather than clipped, and every salary scales by the same factor, so relative value is preserved exactly. A $300,000,000 cap becomes $3,000 and a $50,000,000 player becomes $500. The preview shows you the scaling, and any teams that would land over the cap, before anything is created.
