Used 4 or 5 different fantasy sites in the past, tried Phenomn's one year and have been with it ever since, absolutely the best fantasy site on the internet.

Reliable, Good Payouts and Competitive Games

Phenoms was great to me during the draft and whenever I needed help during the season as well. The only thing I would improve on would've the messaging system.

Mike knows some of the deep concerns I have with the trading system and how it needs to be revamped. Another big problem with Phenoms is the regular season is to long. By the time week 16 comes around several teams have lost interest. When a team does not set a line-up due to not being in the chase for the playoffs/points lead they stop setting line-ups. This has an overall impact to the league and future seeding for the playoffs. In turn effecting how things finish and who wins or loses money. The more optimal way to do things would be making the season points chase 14 weeks and the playoffs starting in week 15. Another big issue is the waiver wire system....its very difficult to navigate and get set every week. That solution needs to be reworked through programing and the owner. At this present time I will not be returning to Phenoms next year. My 12 leagues will be moving to a better run site. *edit* I would also like to address a very confusing situation of collusion that happened in our $500 TAU400. I'm a pretty understanding owner overall, but when there is clear obvious collusion in a league of this stature and the parties involved in the collusion admit to wrong doing, I personally think some type of compensation is owed to the other customers. I would have liked to have seen Mike step up a little and own him being on the road and not being able to oversee the issue in a timely manor. Him waiving his fees for the league, or something would have been a nice small gesture to say I'm sorry. As for the owners involved I also think they should have been either punished with wins taken away or some type of restriction. Good luck Mike...you have a lot of work to do in my opinion. I do want to add one more thing to this review that I feel is fair. I do trust Mike. I think he has the best intention for his customers. I may give Phenoms another chance in the future provided some things change. Well, as we both know we are a long ways from telling the whole story. Trading Jordan Read straight across for Robert woods was not a fair trade. After Read blows up for 28.4 the week before. In fact the guy getting Woods in the trade had 6 WRs who were better and Heath Miller only for TE. We can't forget to add these two trading were Uncle and Nephew. This was the first "player dump" these two teams had made this year either, it was more like the 3rd or 4th. The part you don't see from this side of the fence is the part where the team who got Jordan Read made a huge blockbuster type deal with another owner 6 minutes after acquiring Jordan. Closing any possible trades that could have been made. I was currently in negotiations with the other team involved when all of this happened. We were talking a lot throughout the day. So don't just sit there and say it has no affect on the league because it does. Am i bitter about it......yeah a little.

I was fortunate to trip across Phenoms FF a few years ago and honestly have nothing else to compare it to, but with that being said, I simply cannot imagine a better place to play FF sports (I do football only). Mike Zangrilli is a hands on commissioner that lets you enjoy yourself without getting in the way. Also, the team owners who make up the leagues all seem to be pretty good guys --- and gals, but I wish they'd be inclined to trade a little more :)

Phenoms has proven itself to be a fun, dependable source of fantastic fantasy competition. Great that it offers contests from multiple sports, and a variety of options within each. Top notch all the way!

Major reason I stay with PhenomsFF would have to be the commissioner. He is always attentive to issues and conflicts that might arise and he is considerate to the feelings of all parties involved. Mike also responds individually to questions/requests etc. and I get the feeling that he has 'nourished' the relationships he has with probably hundreds of team owners and in all the leagues I have been, I have seen and heard similar sentiments from other team owners....it is truly PHENOMENAL!!!

Best site to play fantasy football..
