The NFL’s regular season is set to begin, which means fantasy football season is in full swing. You have drafted your players, set your starters, and are probably just itching to see how well you have crafted your team. But this is only the beginning of the season, you need to manage your way through 17 stressful weeks to claim victory, and if you are part of ESPN’s fantasy football league, it should only get easier thanks to their new iPhone and iPod touch app.
ESPN Fantasy Football 2009 contains tons of great features that should help you dominate your league. The app allows you to add, drop, start, bench, trade, and claim players off of waivers. You can also watch your scores and stats in real-time, along with the ability to view your weekly matchups to see what lies ahead. Unlike Yahoo!’s free fantasy football offering, you can even post to message boards and get Push Notifications for injured players, substitutions, and scoring updates.
It’s worth nothing that you must have an ESPN fantasy football team already created to use the app, it can not be done from the app itself.
ESPN Fantasy Football 2009 isn’t free like Yahoo!’s offering, however. It is going to cost you $4.99, so I guess you have to decide how much real-time scoring and team management is worth to you while on the go.
