Can I import my MFL league into League Tycoon?

Yes. League Tycoon has a built-in MyFantasyLeague import. You provide a link to the league or the league ID, and private leagues also need your MFL login, which is never stored. 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.

MFL leagues are old. How far back does the history import go?

Up to 20 seasons. Each imported season is rebuilt as a real, browsable season with standings, week-by-week matchups and the lineups each team actually started, 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. A deep history walk takes longer to run because every season is fetched one at a time, and the progress screen shows exactly which season it is on.

Does League Tycoon support the same level of customization as MFL?

MFL is known for deep configurability, and League Tycoon takes a different approach. League Tycoon focuses on the settings that matter most for dynasty and contract leagues, with clean defaults that work out of the box. If your league relies on a very specific MFL setting, check the League Tycoon feature set or reach out to support before migrating.

Will my league mates actually use the new platform?

This is one of the biggest reasons leagues leave MFL. League Tycoon's modern interface and mobile app make it significantly easier for league mates to stay engaged. Commissioners consistently report that league-mate adoption improves after switching to a platform with a better user experience.

Is there a cost to switch?

Creating a league on League Tycoon is free. You can set up your league, configure rosters, and explore the platform before committing. There is no migration fee.

When is the best time to switch from MFL?

The offseason is ideal. You have time to set up the league, enter rosters and contracts, and let league mates explore without the pressure of weekly lineups. Most commissioners make the switch between January and July.

Switch from MyFantasyLeague to League Tycoon

Q: Can I bring my salary cap and contract data over from MFL?

Yes. MFL is one of the platforms that exposes salary and contract data, so the import writes existing salaries and contract years directly onto your League Tycoon rosters. 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 relative value is preserved exactly. From that point forward, cap math, contract expirations, dead money, and cap compliance are handled by the platform instead of a spreadsheet.

MyFantasyLeague (MFL) is the long-time power-user dynasty platform with deep configurability. League Tycoon is the modern dynasty-first alternative with a cleaner interface, integrated contract management, and a mobile app that makes it easier to onboard league mates. If your league has outgrown MFL's interface, here is how to make the switch.

Built-in import

You do not have to rebuild your MyFantasyLeague league by hand

League Tycoon imports MyFantasyLeague leagues directly. Give it a link to the league or the league ID. Private leagues also ask for your MFL login, which is never stored, only the short-lived session cookie it returns. 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.

MFL exposes salary and contract data, so an MFL salary cap league imports with its contracts intact. Long MFL histories are exactly what the 20-season import limit is there for.

How league import works

Why leagues switch from MFL

MFL has served dynasty leagues well for years, and many of the most serious salary cap leagues started there. But the platform's interface has not kept pace with modern expectations, and that creates real problems for commissioners trying to keep their leagues active.

Modern UI and design. MFL's interface reflects its age. League Tycoon is built with clean typography, dark mode, and intuitive navigation that league mates actually want to use.
Mobile app. MFL has historically relied on third-party mobile apps. League Tycoon has a modern native app for the full league experience on your phone.
Integrated contract management. On MFL, salary cap leagues often require spreadsheets and manual tracking. League Tycoon handles contracts, cap enforcement, extensions, and dead money inside the platform.
Easier league-mate onboarding. Getting all twelve owners to log in, navigate MFL, and set lineups is a recurring challenge. League Tycoon's simpler interface reduces that friction significantly.
Trade auctions. League Tycoon supports trade auctions natively, bringing transparency and fair pricing to dynasty trades. MFL does not offer this feature.
Zero ads. League Tycoon is ad-free. MFL requires a paid upgrade to remove ads from your league.

What you gain on League Tycoon

Beyond solving the pain points above, League Tycoon brings dynasty-specific features that MFL either does not support or requires workarounds to achieve.

Step-by-step migration guide

The import handles the parts that used to make an MFL migration a multi-weekend project, including the contracts. Here is the path.

1. Copy your MFL league link

Open your league on MFL and copy the URL, or note the league ID. If the league is private, the wizard also asks for your MFL login so it can read what your account can already see. That password is never stored.

2. Run the import

In League Tycoon, open Tools, choose Import League, pick MFL, and paste the link. Choose standard dynasty or contract dynasty, and choose how many past seasons to bring over, up to 20.

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, playoff and waiver settings. Each item deep links to the screen that resolves it. This is where a decade of MFL house rules gets reviewed once instead of rediscovered in week three.

5. Invite your league mates

Share the league link with your league. Each league mate claims their own team from a list and sees their roster, contracts, and cap space immediately. This is where the UX improvement over MFL becomes obvious to everyone.

6. Run a test period

Give your league a week or two to explore the platform before the season starts. Encourage people to look at their rosters, check cap space, and make a test trade or waiver claim. Answer questions as they come up.

7. Go live

Once everyone is comfortable, you're fully running on League Tycoon. Contracts, cap tracking, trades, drafts, and league chat are all in one place.

For salary cap and contract leagues

If your MFL league already runs with salary caps and contracts, the migration to League Tycoon is especially worthwhile. MFL salary cap leagues typically rely on a combination of platform settings, commissioner manual adjustments, and external spreadsheets. League Tycoon consolidates all of that into one integrated system.

You do not have to reprice a single player. MFL exposes salary and contract data, so the import writes existing salaries and remaining contract years straight onto your League Tycoon rosters. 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.

What changes for salary cap leagues

•Cap enforcement becomes automatic. No more manual compliance checks.
•Every team member can see their own cap space, contracts, and dead money in the app.
•Extensions, franchise tags, and contract bidding are built into the platform.
•The commissioner no longer needs to maintain external spreadsheets.

Addressing common MFL concerns

"We've been on MFL for years. All our data is there."

Your league history matters, and League Tycoon's Hall of Fame lets you preserve it. Enter all-time standings, trophies, and records so nothing is lost. For roster and contract data, the initial setup takes a bit of time, but it only has to be done once.

"MFL lets us customize everything."

MFL's flexibility is real, and it's one of the platform's strengths. League Tycoon focuses on the settings that dynasty and contract leagues use most, with thoughtful defaults that reduce setup time. If your league uses a highly specialized MFL feature, verify that League Tycoon supports it before switching.

"My league mates barely use MFL as it is."

This is actually the strongest argument for switching. A platform your league mates will open, use on their phones, and engage with regularly is more valuable than one with more features that no one uses.
