I've run about a dozen mocks with the DD, trying to figure a good strategy when drafting 11th of 12. So far, the highest playoff % has been 75%, but it's been fun trying. Seems like the stud RB theory is the way to go, according to RMT.

Tale of two analysts here for me for same team:
Jason Wood says:
Bottom line:
•With great inseason management, we think you have about a 99 percent chance of making the playoffs.
•With good inseason management, we think you have about a 90 percent chance of making the playoffs.
•With average inseason management, we think you have a 83 percent chance of making the playoffs.
Maurile Tremblay says:
Bottom line:
•With great inseason management, we think you have about a 55 percent chance of making the playoffs.
•With good inseason management, we think you have about a 35 percent chance of making the playoffs.
•With average inseason management, we think you have a 17 percent chance of making the playoffs.

Pretty great feature.

Just want to add my props for Doug and this feature, and the rest of the staff whose analysis it also draws upon.
As a tool, it goes above and beyond -- as other posters said, it isn't a simple report card with fluff. It certainly draws from the core FBG analysis, but also gives other expert opinion from different angles, giving a well-rounded view. It is also surprisingly prescriptive in terms of team management, both immediately post-draft and beyond with free agent suggestions, etc.
From a technical standpoint, this is nearly as seamless as it gets in terms of importing data, then delivery in a neat and very user-friendly way. Works like any toolk should -- without the user having to do anything but click a few buttons. That it populates the report so well -- and immediately -- with both fantastic stats (schedule analysis from a team and individual perspective, historical data, projections) and write-ups is testament to the amazing amount of work that must have been put into setting the architecture up for this.
Not only has FBGs created an enormously helpful and fun toolt that works perfectly, they have done what any service should try to do -- exceed customer need and expectation, which they have done enormously here. This just adds to this site's competitive advantage, and deservedly so.
Well done!

Is that a complaint? I think that is probably how most leagues are. There is a pretty big luck component involved in all of this of course.I also think this is a pretty sweet feature. I especially like the rec for adding a DEF by committee and it even lists out the schedules for each def if you were to add them.
how many make the playoffs of the 12? I agree the percentages seem way overly optimistic for this ap. Having said that it IS a pretty sweet application.

This really is an awesome feature. I realize anyone drafting with FBG projections against those drafting from different projections will always be given a high rating, but who cares? It's just so COOL.......

Cool feature from a technical view point, but the actual value is nil imho. Nice work though ...

Considering this is a first year release, tremendous tool. I think its a handy reference to keep around when you make any roster moves (bye week suggestions, combo defenses, etc).
Yeah, optimistic is one way to put it. 8 of the 12 are 70% or better to make the playoffs, and we don't send that many. I know I'm not entering data about the other teams against each other, just one at a time, but something isn't jiving inside.
Finding the right balance on this was tough. We knew one of the first things people would do would be to enter a terrible team and see if we blew sunshine at them. So we knew we had to be honest. On the other hand, we want to be careful and not act like we're the final word on anything and tell a guy his team is terrible when he thinks it's good. We settled on the format we came up with and I feel pretty good about it. Clearly, it's slanted toward our rankings as the report is how WE think you drafted. There really isn't any other way to do that. But the thing that pleases me the most was how readable it is. I too was worried about it sounding like a "mad libs" thing and Doug and David and the guys did a fantastic job with that. Really very pleased with it.Thanks to you guys that are helping spread the word. If you don't mind sharing the app with your friends, that is hugely appreciated as it helps us in a big way. Thanks.JI'm going through the rest of my league now.Worst one I have found so far is an upside of 40%...it gives ranges so this range is 40/25/4...worst so far.Starts out "Let us say this as nicely as we can. This team is brutal. It is below average and/or too thin at all three core positions (quarterback, running back and receiver)."

I tried this out after my draft this weekend and in a word it was....AWESOME. Not so much for the evaluation of the team because I have a good idea of how good my team is and where the strengths and weaknesses are but the links to all the additional infomation, news, projected hot/cold starts, etc..
If you haven't tried it out yet I'd HIGHLY recommend you spend 10 minutes and do it.

Where is it on MFL? I know I just saw i the other day, but I'm having trouble finding it today.TIA
nice start for a new app.
a couple of things maybe for next year. As has been mentioned, more reasonable expectations. It would also be nice to have a percentage for below average team management. In this day and age of the internet fewer and fewer people are showing up at my drafts with outdated FF magazines. As a result of that, teams are drafting better because of better cheat sheets based on more up to date information. A decent percentage of these people, however, still lack the time and effort to make decent waiver wire moves (at least in my league anyway) Poor team management is what often seperates them after a decent draft.
Even if you just use the app to see your matchups put in a nice chart for you it is well worth your time. Seeing where your players at a particular position as a group several weeks in a row without having to do the tedious legwork is sweet.
One issue I have with it though is sometimes when I use the app, it returns a message that says not enough players are selected and gives no results. I am importing the teams from both DD nad MFL so I know there are enough players. Trying it again using the same process always provides results the second time.

In my defense I was going with the "Kicker early and often" strategy.

click on an owners name.... its listed last in big blue letters just above the owners name
and if you did your draft with DD you can do it directly from there without putting in all the players. It is located at the bottom of the team data window.

Thank you so much. I know some people want to never share the site but it's a gigantic help to us when folks do this like you did. Thanks a lot.J

I've also been passing these along to those in my league that I think will enjoy it. Basically any of the guys that I know have spent several hours just looking at their team since we drafted Saturday.
If next year there could be a league analysis feature out of DD, that would be the sickest. Top team wrt making playoffs? Worst team? League's strength as a whole?

I am pretty sure most of our owners come here but I am thinking of sending it out to all of them anyway. If I encourage groupthink it should be easier to take advantage of them!Thank you so much.

I did this for every team in my league and posted it. A lot of good feedback so far, pretty cool feature.
It should also cut down on the "Please se mine!" posts. Double win =

I also did this but I cut and pasted a lot to keep my league mates from finding where I get my info. I also added a few of my own quotes--:languagefilter: that got some pretty good laughs.

If you import from the draft dominator, make sure that the max allowed at each position adds up to the roster limit at the end.In other words, if you have a 20 round draft, but have QB Mx = 4, RB Max = 8, WR Max = 9, TE Max =3, Def Max =2, PK Max =2 then you will get this error because Rate My Team is 28 players. Just tweak the set up at the end in DD, before clicking the Rate My Team and you will be good

If you have keepers, RMT doesnt seem to take those into account. When coming up with the max players.
