Very nice!! This could be used in sooo many ways. Gonna use it in our free agent period to see which player would benefit my team more! Good work.

 
Doug put an amazing amount of work and care into this project. It's an incredible tool that will knock the fantasy world on it's butt!

Great job to FBG's for coming up with this!

 
Pretty cool. :thumbup: I like how it recognized that I also had Grant when it was talking about Brandon Jackson. I'm sad to find out that Green-Ellis is a shakey 8th rb. :(

Your bench also looks good. Steven Jackson looks great as a third running back; he's a likely flex starter. Pierre Thomas will also be among the best RB4s in the league. Ryan Grant looks great as a fifth running back. We also very much approve of the selection of Brandon Jackson, and not just as insurance for Ryan Grant. He's a fine sixth running back in his own right. Not only do we like Chauncey Washington as a seventh running back, we love that you stole him from the Maurice Jones-Drew owner. BenJarvus Green-Ellis is shaky as a eighth running back.

Good job Doug!!!! One minor issue, VERY minor. When entering one of my teams, I still have Warrick Dunn that needs to be entered but he is not listed as a RB to enter.............

Edit to add: He will not be on my roster come August, but others may be trying to enter him as well..............

Yeah, it didn't like my rb's, even though I only have to start 1 in the league I put in. I think they are fine, and it didn't seem to give enough credit to my wide receivers who will be the best in the league, as usual.

No Free Agents are loaded because they aren't ranked by the Staff.

This is a great app

This concern is to help and not criticize. I hope.

I am doing all the teams in my league as I try to get a gauge of it but it still needs to be a little more intuitive. Only at 4 of 16

Just doing team #4 in a 16 team 24 man roster that starts 2 QB's, so getting one is rare.

This comment came up for one team

For instance, last year, useful quarterbacks like Matt Cassel, Tyler Thigpen, Matt Ryan, and Joe Flacco likely went undrafted. Even Kurt Warner wasn't drafted in early leagues. Likewise, running backs like Steve Slaton, Chris Johnson, Le'Ron McClain, Derrick Ward all could be had dirt cheap at the draft or shortly after

Thigpen was the only guy that was on waivers last year

Same league has put nice value on PK and it kind of throws it to the side. 16 team were most teams must start 2 and they score better than most leagues and it tosses them kind of aside as non important.

Few other thoughts to this point (see I should have been part of the testers :thumbup: )

-would like to see it done towards dynasty also down the line. Like this team will take a year to grow but some young talent if it is a rebuilding looking team

-I am still working on this but want to see how it compares to all 16 teams in the league. I did love the writeup on the worst team in our league

-Cant wait to see how it works for my 24 team league as something not usual. Seems more to work towards 12 teams. PK thing kind of shows this

Although it's much better than it used to be thanks to the beta testers' suggestions, I have to admit that this machine still doesn't quite completely comprehend the ramifications of start-only-1-RB and leagues with 2 or 3 flex slots. That's still something of a work in progress.

By all means feel free to offer suggestions.While I hate having to say this, I have no choice: we tried to make this pretty flexible, but the further you get from standard rules, the more likely this thing is to be, well, wrong, on some of its assessments. I'm not sure a 24-team league or a start-2-kicker league have ever been entered in here. That's why we release it in here first :lmao:

You're thinking in terms of a dynasty and this thing is geared toward redraft to give you an idea for this year. Thus, Flacco and Cassel likely weren't drafted. Same can be said for McClain and probably Steve Slaton. Of course, it depends on # of teams and roster spots, but it's to give you an idea that there are gems to be had even if they weren't available in YOUR league.

If you don't think these points were brought up by the testers then you are highly mistaken.

I'm sure Crippler was just playing around.For the record, the beta testers did a FANTASTIC job. They investigated every nook and cranny of this thing and saved us a ton of embarrassment. A ton. But I'm sure there are many other people like Crippler could have also offered a lot of assistance, and I'd welcome their doing so in this thread. I'm sorry we had to limit the number.

I am pretty sure that in any 16 team 24 man roster that all QB's would be taken. Even Flacco, Ryan and Cassell. Makes it the most important position by far. That is 32 starting QB's so you got to have the backup. I am thinking redraft. My comments about dynasty would be something I would like to see incorporated for the future as I do a few teams in my league that have nice developmental players. I am doing for just this year which is than just redraft. All about how you do for this year when I do reports for our league.

Exactly. Crippler, no disrespect intended with my post at all.

Import/export to/from MyFBG (and maybe even MFL) is something that will probably* happen later in the summer. After you've entered a team, you'll see an "edit this team" link near the top. Hit that and your players will be there for editing.* - not a guarantee
 
Odds that the 12 teams in my local league make the playoffs (using the third odds column)...

Team 1 - 74%

Team 2 - 71%

Team 3 - 66%

Team 4 - 64%

Team 5 - 57%

Team 6 - 48%

Team 7 - 46%

Team 8 - 33%

Team 9 - 31%

Team 10 - 20%

Team 11 - 13%

Team 12 - 2%

Totals 525 (in a perfect world this would be 500 correct?)

Are the formulas slightly overestimating the odds teams will make the playoffs?

Doug will better be able to answer this, but it depends on # of teams that make playoffs.

Export from MFL would be cool.I have a league where we can start 0-2 RB's and up to 5 WR's but it says We're sorry, but right now we can't properly rate a team in a league that requires zero starters at either QB, RB, or WR.Still cool. :goodposting:

Wow that is freaking sweet, well worth the price of admission. Couple things though, while this is geared toward redrafts it would be nice for some sort of Dynasty toggle so we don't have to read that our draft sucked..lol I would also like to be able to add Free Agents. Otherwise awesome tool.

 
I had serious reservations about the usefullness of this app. While those reservations haven't been completely erased, I'm still absolutely blown away by this thing.

SERIOUS PROPS!!! :shrug: I mean...the detail is amzing, and the way it brings up news, etc., is fantastic.

A couple of minor nitpicks:

How did you manage to leave off safeties? :lmao: Or did you assume that they were universally worth 2 pts. for DST? (They aren't)

Missed FG's and XP's are often negative for kickers, and FG's can be more closely yardage based.

Some scoring systems account for things like blocked FG's, and QB ratings.

The ranges for pts/yds for DST scoring aren't likely to exactly match many leagues...but I'm not sure that matters much.

Those are minor though, as DST and PK are (rightfully) glossed over to begin with.

It would be GREAT if this could be tweaked just a little bit to cover dynasty. Since it's based on staff rankings now, it doesn't seem like it would be too huge an undertaking to make that adjustment.

AGAIN...SERIOUS PROPS! :rolleyes:

This is a little bit tricky. The odds are based off of your team against an "average" team with really no direct association to your individual league. It doesn't compare teams in your league against each other, only the average team based on FBG's rankings. I hope I made sense here.The numbers won't work out to be exact, but they should be relatively close I'm guessing. Doug should be able to paint a better picture of that.

Nice 1.0 release. I would like to see a better interface for selecting players. The list boxes with all the players of a given position suck.

What are you suggesting? As one of the beta testers, I thought that auto-complete with AJAX would be nice, but most of the time we would be importing a team and possibly changing one player or two to see what it says. What other manual entry approaches would you take for positions that are at least 30 or more players?

Gotcha. 6 of 12 in this case.
