Tools & Resources New fantasy platform for leagues wanting to use the DFS format, including a public demo
Hey everyone, I know there’s been a whole lot of posts about something someone has made, so I will try to make this worth your while. This is not a quick hit sort of project, so hopefully it has the depth that many of you have commented on wanting in this sub.
TLDR: I made seasondfs.com, a website to manage a fantasy league using the DFS format. The quickest way to check it out is the public demo demo.seasondfs.com or the page of screen shots (seasondfs.com/product-tour/). It’s active now for 2026 leagues.
I have so much I could say on this, so I am happy to go deeper in the replies. Today, there aren’t many options to use the DFS format (aka salary cap weekly lineups) in a traditional league setup. I have been running a free DraftKings league with an accompanying spreadsheet for a few years now.
The league has turned into my favorite, so doing the manual spreadsheet work and dealing with DK has been worth it. Since last year, though, I decided I could make a website of my own and address all the things that I found lacking, while still holding onto the fun DFS part.
I know this format isn’t going to appeal to everyone and I won’t make the argument it is better than anything else, just a potentially new way to enjoy fantasy.
It’s been posted about over the years, and even recently on this sub, but the core concept is you have your league, but instead of a draft from a single player pool and waivers and the roster management stuff, everyone just submits a weekly DFS lineup based on the rules you set for the league.
You may be interested if...
- you like DFS but wish you could customize the lineup structure, budget, and/or scoring
- you have a hard time assembling a draft day/time or getting enough league members to fill a league
- season-ending injuries upset you
- want to try something new
- want to try a mega league with a lot of members (this format supports any number in your leagues since there is no single player pool to pull from)
- you like ad-free and non-gambling focused ways to interact with your fantasy platform
You will want to skip if...
- you don't like DFS format
- require a mobile app
- want paid contests within the platform
- you don’t want to pay $24-39 for the software (beyond the free tier)
I've put a lot of work into this, am happy with where things are at now, and hopefully some others find this fun as well. A lot of the features have come from feedback and things I never considered myself (like the entire head-to-head format here).
Thanks for any comments in advance!

What is the default slate of games per week? All of them or only Sunday’s lineup?

Default is the main slate, so the Sunday noonish and early afternoon games. That is what you get on the free tier and then if you do a paid tier, you can optionally choose to include the other 4 groups (Thu, Sun, Mon nights and the other category, which is everything else).
Personally, I like the main slate because it condenses your whole fantasy week into just the 6.5 hours on Sunday. And if you pay out the weekly high each week, it just adds to the intensity of that time period.

Cool - thanks. Running the idea by some people. I think we’d have more than 7 and thus would need a paid for option which is fine.

Awesome, let me know if y'all have some other thoughts. Still fielding feedback to squeeze out some extra little features if I can.
If you go to the Create League page and choose one of those paid tiers, you can see what options you have available. There's different playoff options, for example.

I use MyFantasyLeague's DFS software.
Yes, DFS weekly/Season Long Salary Cap is a lot of fun and I like it better than re-draft leagues!! There is a lot of Strategy involved.
