Real-Time StatTracker - This client-side Java application allows you to follow all of your league's action in real-time as it happens. Scores for each individual player and team in your league update live each time the corresponding real-world stats change. Additionally, you can access a score log that tracks the scoring plays for each matchup in your league. Find all Yahoo Fantasy Football available stats with StatTracker!

Draft Kit - This in-depth package of pre-season content is updated by FantasyGuru.com and KFFL.com through early September to help you put together your dream team on draft day. Get player rankings, analysis, news, injury updates, and much more.

Scouting Report - The biggest in-season guide to-date. This package is supplied by the fantasy football experts at FantasyGuru.com and KFFL.com and is crammed with the information you need to stay on top of player news and game matchup information each week of the season. Loaded with positional rankings, team and player news, and individual game breakdowns, the Scouting Report helps give you the competitive edge.

Keeper-Style Live Drafts - PLUS leagues include an "Edit Pre-Draft Selections" option. Using this feature, a commissioner can manually enter draft picks prior to the start of a live draft. So, if managers in your league keep two players from last year's team, your commissioner could enter two rounds of picks prior to your live draft.

League Finance Tracker - Keep tabs on who has paid their fees and who still owes some. The information can only be edited by the league commissioner, but is made available to all members for viewing.

Extra Scoring Controls - All Custom Leagues can now use multiple scoring modifiers for every yardage category. This allows the commissioner to create more than one reward for an exceptional performance.

Divisional Play Option - All Custom Leagues allow the commissioner to choose between a system that places all teams in one division or breaks them up into two. Aside from playoffs and scheduling, this choice does not impact any aspects of game play.

Assistant Manager - This tool uses a Yahoo! Sports algorithm to analyze your team and then gives you performance predictions for each player on your roster as well as details on how well your players rate against others in the league. The Assistant Manager also gives you predictions and ratings for all other teams in your league, so you can see how well you stack up against the competition.

Prizes for League Winners – At the end of the fantasy football season, each qualified league-winner - in all leagues of eight or more teams - walks away with a plaque commemorating the winner's Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football PLUS league championship. Some eligibility restrictions apply.

Wireless Access - Use your Web-enabled mobile phone (WAP), to run your teams even when you're not in front of a PC. You can check stats, scores and standings, and even make last-minute roster moves without the use of your computer. Every Yahoo Fantasy Football text message you receive will help you manage your team better.

Official Trade Protests - To maintain the integrity of the game, every time a trade is completed in any league using this option, all managers in that league have at least one day (depending upon individual settings) to lodge an official protest. All such protests are reviewed by members of the Yahoo! Sports staff. If the trade in question appears to be overly biased or unfair towards one team, the trade is revoked. All decisions on protested trades are final.

Advanced Research Tools - In addition to the limited Research & Analysis tools available to users of the free game, all Fantasy Football PLUS users have access to an advanced tool set that gives them more detailed information to use when making lineup choices. These tools include a draft analysis chart (which is sortable by position) that shows where players were drafted in other leagues, and an expanded version of our popular Buzz Index, which shows the details in aggregate or on a position-by-position basis.

With all these fabulous tools, you'll improve not only your fantasy football team, but also your general fantasy football knowledge. So who's going to shut up the guy at the water cooler who can't stop talking about how great his free fantasy football team is? You are, because you'll have the information from StatTracker, your draft kits, and other PLUS features to back you up. And your nickname will be The Champion, because your Yahoo fantasy football PLUS team will blow all the others away.
