Cheat sheets sorted in teirs (1 Viewer)

Tiering is very easy. Take your current cheatsheet. To figure out your tiers, you can take a few approaches.

1) a tier is a block of similar performing players (ie all running backs projected to score between 300 - 325 points is a tier - so every 25 points is your cut off for the tier).

2) make your tiers based on fantasy points. 16 fantasy points = 1 point per game difference between players (so if player A is projected to score 200 points and player B is projected to score 184 points, the 16 point difference is 1 ppg). So, just figure out how many points (or ppg) you want your tier to be.

With both of the above methods, take your current cheatsheet and count down from the top ranked player the number of points in your tier (25, 16, 32, or whatever number you come up with) and draw a line on your cheatsheet.

3) look at your cheatsheet and scroll down the list and where you see a significant break, make that a tier (so if your RB points go like this: 344, 337, 332, 305, 300, 299, 291, 275, you can probably assume that your first tier is 344-322, and your next is 305-291, etc.

4) use the search engine on this site to look for a poster named "skippy the one eyed beagle" he has a custom tiering program that works great with the VBD spreadsheet. He used to post it, but hasn't for a few years, but if you track him down, he might be able to shoot you a copy.

I still use Skippy's app with FBG's VBD sheets. Skippy's app takes the VBD cheatsheet and let's you put it into tiers. It also let's you tweak the formula for the cheatsheet using Joe's formula, last starter, avg. starter, last drafted or custom.

Saw a post from him earlier in the week...

Would love to get his spread sheet again as well....did a search on skippy's name, but did not find it.

 
I use Draft Dominator and update the projections with what I feel is comfortable and put in my leagye scoring system and then print the cheat sheets they are basically color coded in tiers....you may have to make a few adjustments.

 
I found my "skippy" cheatsheet from 2002 (pretty amusing). I can e-mail it to one person. I'll e-mail it to one person, if that person agrees to post it somewhere for others to use.

Respond in this post with your e-mail address, because I don't check PM's. Use the format like this:

joeblow (at) yahoo (dot) com

I'm at work, so can only check this every few hours, but I'll try to check either before 5:00pm today, or later tonight from home.

Great way to do it and I echo that you will want to make your own adjustments. Don't just determine teirs based upon projected fantasy points because risk (injury, new situation, suspension, etc...) should affect which tier you juggle these players into. Not every tier will have the same number of players either because there may be 10 RB's that are close enough in pts, risk and upside that they can all be lumped together. Teirs are a great way to structure your draft cheatsheet. I did this the last two years and it helps a ton. Other Draft Dominator type info that helps is having a breakout of how many of each position you have drafted as well as a breakout of how many players at each position have been drafted compared to the number of teams in your draft. Draft Dominator is awesome for keeping track of this info. If there are only two QB's left in the B Teir and you don't have one yet and your fifth round pick is coming up and you can see that two other teams haven't picked up a QB1 yet then you know when you have to make a move. You can also use the DD to start runs on various positions such as TE's and you can get ahead of the curve. There's a fine line dance of lletting the draft come to you and taking the draft to everyone else. Damn, let's lace em up and draft today
