I recently saw mention of an H-value by Maurile Tremblay, based on conversation from Dan Hindery, and I am wondering if it has any value when analyzing regular auctions rather than DFS. It seems you would take the Points / Auction value and then multiply it by (Points * 1.73) to get the...

Is anyone aware of a FREE web site or software that would help owners in our league evaluate possible trades. I am hoping owners can get better informed by getting an unbiased opinion without bombarding owners with worthless offers. It would be a bonus if it could import or integrate with our...

Is there a separate forum to discuss drafting strategies and such, as compared to the discussions about players or teams? I understand that resolving player comparisons is strategic, but I am wondering the value of a forum where the sharks can discuss more broad topics. Players could be used...

When setting up your auction cheatsheet, should it reflect your expected league market value or each player's "real" auction value? I am just making this up as an example, but based on projected points and the team budget Brady is worth $40 (for illustrative purposes only). I know in our...

I have a few years worth of auction draft history for our league. In an auction draft, does it make sense to set the VBD values right about the spot owners start paying the minimum? It seems the VBD of zero is when the suggested auction value is the minimum, but this also seems to create some...

Can someone explain the Top 200 Forward ranks? Here is the rankings from my Custom Top 200 for RB. Why would a player like Peterson have #4 Total Pts, but have #2 Value. CJ has #3 Value, but #2 Total FPT and #4 Rest of Year. Can anyone explain the relation between "This Week", "Rest of...

Any suggestions for articles or good threads for auction strategy? Any idea if Maurice Tremblay will be updating his article on Auction Pricing, that is available in DD Help? It seems to be based on data from 2002-2005, so I presume the article is 3 years old. I know Dodds comes out with a...

It seems from the Week 13 content that Dodds, Norton, Bloom, et al have been updating their projections. However, when I get the latest weekly projections in LD, it still says we are on version 13b. Are projections updated and mislabeled or is the LD not getting the latest ones? Anyone else...

The winner of the league gets a set amount of money. Places 2-4 split the transaction fee money. Despite what the commish thought before the season, the payout for second place has now exceeded the set amount for first, and will probably go a up a little more before the season ends. Is it...

Ryan Grant or Selvin Young Which is a better waiver wire pickup for the next 4 weeks? Does Ryan Grant continue as starter and GB keep running the ball? Is Travis Henry ever coming back? I presume Henry will not be suspended until after Thanksgiving, but will he play any before then? Should...

I need LB help so I am constantly looking at the projections to see when it makes sense to upgrade. I rely on these because I have never done IDP before and I have much more confidence you guys. In our league, I would say 3 out of the top 5 LB each week (looking forward) are always available...

Just wanted to say thanks for the Offensive Upgrades/Waivers feature on Monday night. I like the quick synopsis of the big players and potential waiver wire pickups, since our league allows waivers any time. I also like the links at the top for a quick summary and makes finding players easier...

I have read the Dodds Prefect Draft for 10 teams and I have a question. He recommends a top 50 list be used which uses the VBD rank if it is higher than the ADP. If the ADP is higher, then the VBD rank and ADP are averaged. This seems to dilute my VBD projections and causes me to lose...

Dodds, is there a reason the 10 team perfect draft went from a top 60 list to a top 50 list list this year? I won't even point out that about half way through you stopped changing the 60 to 50. (no search/replace? :goodposting: ). Am I to understand your suggestion that I should just take...

Our league has agreed to go to an auction format (no keeper or dynasty), but the actual rules have not been sent out. I have not seen any articles or threads on how an auction should be run. Do you still go around the table in the order of nominations? Someone mentioned reversing direction...

Our league is switching from a redraft to an auction draft. Where are some good articles on strategies to use in an auction? I have seen the auction functionality in DD and I plan to use that. I have read Maurile Tremblay's article that I guess explains what the DD will be doing. I am still...

Sorry... thought I was in the other forum and I do not know how to delete my own posts. :-( In the Weekly Lineup window in LD, it would be nice to see who the player is playing that week. Of course it would be great if it also gave the approrpriate defensive rank for each position. This...

I am wondering if there is any opinion or analysis on the projections offered by the "experts" here at FBG. I like the Projections Dominator and particularly the ability to weight the experts. However, are there any articles, or posts, describing how these experts come to these projections...
