I'm in a long running keeper league and am always looking for a competitive edge. I had a thought, what if you could better predict what positions your league mates would target in specific rounds during the draft?
Has anyone ever done this or figured out a way to chart or statistically analyze your fellow league mates drafting habits?
I have roughly 8 years of old drafts on spread sheets which should be ample data for this project.
I started logging data last night but am a little fuzzy on the best approach or formulas to make this useful. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated!
I 100% do this- there is a lot of info to gleen. 10 team league.
1. Me
2. goes bpa but skews toward need, will panic pick on a run, will take a qb in any rd. Favors older proven players over poised for breakout.
3. Savvy fbg that uses any and every resource he can, uses dominator, will load up on rb/wr and wait on a qb, will target a top te if it fits where he drafts.
4. Good player who seems to have the same targets as me year to year. Waits on qb, uses extra bench spots on rb/wr. Tough to draft around.
5.Wildcard. The “Taco” if you will, who will draft an injured guy, will take a random player from his home team if he doesn’t know what to do late in the draft, even if it’s the backup or 3rd string qb. Oh, and will go on to win the league several times.
6. Fairly new replacement guy, but it’s a hometown league so we all know each other well enough, not random internet replacement. His only league, doing it for fun mostly.
7. Early qb, will take the “best” defense by rd 10, Fills his starters out before moving on to bench. Knowledgeable but goes against the grain in that respect.
8. Will draft RBs/wrs early and often but will make some questionable reaches and then double down by ignoring that position because he’s so sure of that pick.
9. Smack talker that will say “I was going to take him” after every pick, then says “hope he tears his acl” and not feel bad for actually wishing that.
10. Homer. Will prioritize his home team a full 1-2 rounds ahead of where they should be. Strategy is to get his favorite players over any discernible “wait for a qb” or “zero rb.”
