Hey FBG. Finally got my account approved
So I run a league through Fleaflicker.com with a fully custom scoring ruleset that I developed to replicate real NFL player/positional value. I'm not a math guy at all, but I started wondering if it might be possible to develop a PFF-ish stat for my league that can fully represent a player's value with one number (obviously a lot easier in fantasy where points are the only consideration). Running into some issues so I thought I'd drop them here.
First, Fleaflicker has no easy way to export stats. They have an API but I'm not a coder at all (and my coder friend said it'd be tedious even for him) so the best thing I have is a really clunky copy/paste method that takes forever. Does anyone know anything about the API/alternate tools that might help me?
Second, I'm fairly sure of how the calculation would work but I wanted to get a second opinion. The factors would be
I think that's all for now. Whole thing is never going to go anywhere if I can't make it so it's really easy to update all the player values.... probably a tall order, especially for an English major such as myself.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Second, I'm fairly sure of how the calculation would work but I wanted to get a second opinion. The factors would be
- Average scoring per week
- Total scoring season-to-date
- Average scoring percentile relative to position
- Total scoring season-to-date relative to position
- Consistency (fleaflicker stat that quantifies week to week scoring fluctuation)
