this is great news!

MrBigFeathers · July 13th, 2010, 11:43 AM

Awesome. This might make me switch to Yahoo instead of ESPN for Fantasy. I wish ESPN would make an app but I doubt they will.

blakethomas · July 13th, 2010, 03:14 PM

Any word on a fantasy baseball app?

Nice!

Inno · July 13th, 2010, 04:30 PM

Hallelujah! Just need fantasy baseball now and I might not have to turn my laptop on EVER AGAIN!

shawn1224 · July 13th, 2010, 04:46 PM

I've been waiting on something like this.

I wish there was also an app for fleaflicker but this will do since I normally have 3-4 yahoo leagues.

turbosol16 · July 13th, 2010, 08:04 PM

Can't wait I have a draft in August this should come before I have the draft.

I emailed Yahoo at the beginning of the season and they said there would be a football app this year (as the OP has shown) and a baseball one next year.

zoidy84 · July 14th, 2010, 09:45 AM

damn it, i thought this was actually football!! you bleddy yanks lol

Inno · July 14th, 2010, 09:57 AM

Oi!

gdot · July 14th, 2010, 01:56 PM

great news! I hope it supports multiple leagues.

Heathbar · July 14th, 2010, 03:40 PM

Yay! I've got a fever and the only prescription is fantasy football!

xmr405o · July 16th, 2010, 03:20 AM

Fantasy Guru App is compatible with Yahoo Football and Baseball FFL. It's actually pretty good but an Official yahoo Fantasy app is probably better.

spawn · July 30th, 2010, 07:24 AM

For hardcore fans, we have a league setup with really good players. Feel free to join us. The league name is FNFL_League (http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/15466) ...yahoo ofcourse

phatty · July 30th, 2010, 10:59 AM

Right now im using Fantasy Guru, pretty nice app.It has baseball , basketball, hockey, and football. .

Ninja Monkey · August 3rd, 2010, 09:48 PM

This is awesome news! I had the Yahoo app for my 3GS last year. It was very handy. Glad I will have it this year on my X. Won two out of three leagues last year.....pats self on back.

I think you are referring to soccer, this is for FOOTBALL. If there is a such thing as fantasy soccer I don't see anyone making an app for it since not many 4th graders have an android phone and that is when soccer becomes irrelevant.

mattdanielc · August 4th, 2010, 02:40 AM

Damn it - I got all excited too - I thought this app was for proper football as well

Ah well - enjoy your rugby app guys

bluenova · August 4th, 2010, 02:49 AM

Re-named the thread title to avoid confusion because in the rest of the world Football is football, not American Football (yankee rules Rugby)

Can you PM me some details about your league? I'm interested.

I downloaded this just incase yahoo fantasy football isn't ready before the season starts.

lexluthor · August 10th, 2010, 07:15 AM

No news yet? They better get moving. Drafting season is going to be in full swing very soon here.

slider5634 · August 17th, 2010, 07:56 AM

Anyone have any more info on this? Possibly a release date? I'm already on two yahoo leagues and my drafts are complete. I'd really like to be able to make lineup changes on the fly from my phone. It'll really come in handy.

lexluthor · August 17th, 2010, 09:10 AM

It'd be really bad of them to announce this and then not have it ready at least a full week before the start of the season.

chrlswltrs · August 17th, 2010, 09:14 AM

Hope it is ready soon, our androidforums league draft is on the 29th. It would be awesome if it was ready by then. But until it is ready fantasy guru looks like it will work pretty good.

Fantasy Guru (Yahoo Sports) - Android app on AppBrain

turbosol16 · August 17th, 2010, 09:39 AM

The draft for my league is this weekend, looks like Fantasy Guru will have to do.

shawn1224 · August 17th, 2010, 11:53 AM

I can only imagine what the scoring system would look like for fantasy soccer

Goal = 10 pts
Successful Penalty Kicks = 5pts
Missed Penalty Kicks = -5pts
Acting like you've just been shot on a take-down = -2pts

wrench · August 17th, 2010, 12:44 PM

Don't see any info about an app for Yahoo Survival Football. That would be a trivial app compared to a fantasy football app.

BrianJB · August 19th, 2010, 11:33 AM

Anyone heard anything more on this?, They have been advertising this app on the radio. But still says "coming soon" on yahoo.

celton · August 22nd, 2010, 04:28 PM

I just picked up the Fantasy Guru app from the Market. It looks like it will do everything I need.

Is there another app from Yahoo Fantasy that is supposed to be coming out?

Yes, it has said android app coming soon on the yahoo page for several weeks now. I am fantasy guru until the official yahoo app comes out also.

SWEET!!! Thanks for the heads up. DLing now.

CriticalMass · August 31st, 2010, 08:42 AM

This app is much smoother than Fantasy Guru for me. no FC's on the yahoo app

gripweed · August 31st, 2010, 08:59 AM

Anyone know if they will have one for hockey?

Tony Touch · August 31st, 2010, 10:00 AM

Sweet. Playing around with it and it looks great so far. Love the design of it (Fantasy Guru is nice but I don't care for its spartan design).

Hopefully Yahoo adds features and fixes bugs as the season starts.

silliybilly · August 31st, 2010, 10:40 AM

I hope they add video like the 2010 version the iPhone got! It has yahoo video from their fantasy "experts".

chrlswltrs · August 31st, 2010, 11:16 AM

Just downloaded it, thanks for the heads up.

Funny thing is I had used Better Cut to change the icon for Fantasy Guru, I had used the exact same icon! What a coincidence.
