2016 and 2021

Two platform moves

2016: 240 players came over from NFL.com to MyFantasyLeague in 23 roster imports, the first on August 4, 2016.

2021: moving to Sleeper, every team re-drafted its MFL roster in 16 rounds, finished August 30, 2021. 192 players moved that way. Those rounds are not rookie picks; the rookie draft was rounds 17 to 24, shown here as rounds 1 to 8.

10 players crossed both borders with the same owner; none is still on that owner's 2026 roster. 19 players from the opening 2021 rosters are still with the owner who re-drafted them.

MFL teams opened 2016 with up to 20 players; the Sleeper re-draft gave each team 16. 2021 counts belong to the owner who held the seat.
