1. App for managing fantasy football leagues
As said today it is possible to use App to manage fantasy football leagues between friends with considerable advantages both in terms of time and in minimizing the margin of error. Let's see what are the apps to focus on.
Fantasy Football Leagues
The most famous is Fantasy football leagues. This app is part of the site Fantacalcio.com. Before buying the eponymous brand last year it was called Fantagazzetta.com. To play you need to register or have a Fantacalcio.com account.
The feature of the Leagues Fantagazzetta app, available for Android and iOS, is the ability to play in all game types and modes. You can play with the sistema a Budget, in which every fantasy coach is free to make his own squad without constraints and to have players in common with others; or with theit which can be set to Closed envelope or with ebay technique. On this topic I suggest you take a look at this article: How the fantasy football auction takes place.
Another feature is the wide choice of tournament types such as: Standings general, Direct confrontations, Formula 1, Cup.
The force Fantasy Football Leagues is also the very wide possibility to customize the options by the administrators with bonuses and modifiers of all types (for example the Defense Modifier) until the novelty of this year: the Quality Assist that is, the possibility of assigning a bonus of 1,5 instead of 1 for particularly important Assists.
Another almost exclusive feature is that of being able to play as well as in the "classical"Also with the version"Mantra”, A very sophisticated new type of fantasy football for experts that has been gaining ground in recent years. This mode not only provides for the division of the players into Defenders, Midfielders and Forwards like the classic system, but in a series of sub-categories and roles to bring it very close to real football.
Finally, the real fun feature of this game is to follow the progress of your team with the live fantasy girl votes which change immediately upon the occurrence of events that occur during the game. The only flaw is the impossibility of having other sources for the votes except for those of the Fantacalcio editorial team.
Fantamaster
FantaMaster is another of the best free fantasy football apps, compatible on both iOS and Android. Unlike the previous one which is more management oriented, this app also has a session for probable lineups, news, advice, votes and more.
Clearly this being a little more generalist and goes a little to erode the specificity in the management resulting in less detailed than the previous one. However, it is complete with all the basic functions to easily manage a league in an automated way by having the menu to set the team and view the squad; consult the ranking; view the squads of the opponents; the market; and the section released.
Fantapazz
Among the best apps to manage leagues we can include Fantapazz. This too, like the previous one, presents the session with the information in addition to the management part for private leagues and is compatible with both Android and iOS.
In addition to all the basic functions, the real peculiarity of Fantapazz is the possibility of organizing the auction in a live way and not only with closed envelopes. Once the auction has been launched, there will be a screen with a table at which the various league presidents are virtually "seated" from which it is possible to start calling and relaunch the various players with an instant messaging function, which you can recall by tapping on the button Chat.
Fantaclub Mobile
The app is also widely used Fantaclub whose characteristic is to be totally free of advertising (at least so it seems). It offers a live auction and votes in real time, but compared to Fantasy Football you have the possibility to customize the source of the votes and decide whether to use the editorial staff of Naples, Rome, Milan, Turin. Statistical ratings are derived from particular algorithms, and you can customize which sources to use for statistics.
Other important elements are: that of being able to graduate the vote to the official reserve based on the minutes played and personalize the roles. In the app you can also try your hand at the Champions League for lovers of international footballers. You can also manage private leagues even on occasions of major international competitions such as Europeans and World Cups.

With each account you can manage 3 teams, compete for the best of the day and for the general classification. Rewards range from Amazon vouchers to travel vouchers.
Also in this platform you can join private leagues to have fun with friends. The negative feature is the possibility of having unlimited market changes every day that allow you to totally change the team every week, making the game not close to traditional fantasy football.
Other fantasy football sites with prizes
Two other absolutely similar free fantasy footballs are the Mister Calcio of the Corriere dello Sport e TuttoSport League of the newspaper Tuttosport. The prizes are good enough to be free contests, ranging from travel to the Maldives to food and wine excellences to Amazon coupons or digital subscriptions to the two newspapers.
