Well, all the gloom and doom talked about in weeks past about "one bad week by Gore owners and most of them will be gone" may actually become true.....if you change Gore to LT2. His ownership is LESS than the cut % this week and next, so a poor performance could literally wipe him off the map if thigs fall just right. While LT2 has carried many of his owners (and very disproportionately so based on Drinin's numbers), a slip by his $71 committment could very well end your show when compared to a slip by the "blue light special" of Gore.

That said, I was able to distill the data down to get the weekly results of all remaining 1501 teams (what can I say, it was a slow day at work...). There are about 10-15 POWERHOUSE teams in our midst. They are literally blowing the field away on a week by week basis. Topping this list is Grant Downing, who is a full 26 points ahead of the second best team in YTD total scoring. Realize that after the top 13 or so, you see the incremental drop to the next team dwindle to about 1 point per place, and outside of the top 50, just a few tenths separate the places. Needless to say, Mr. Downing has LT2 as his centerpiece, so I'm hoping he gets shut down soon!

I'll post my results table later tonight, when I get it properly formatted for your dissection!

 
OK, I give. I'm pretty good with Excel, but I can't make the table readable at all on the forum. I tried the whole "code" thing, but it still got all crooked. I was able to test a post with my team stats and it worked properly, but with the original text in either Excel or Word (and I was able to make it pure text in word), things look pretty bad here. I even tried converting everything to native truetype fonts, but no change. :confused:

Anyone able to help here? :bag:

I want to post the per week scores, as well as the season totals for the top 50 teams (could do more but 1500 lines of info is a bit overwhelming). This info would seem to me a decent "power ranking" to judge how your team stacks up against the strongest teams. With everyone past their byes, that problem should be equalized now, so you can see what the better teams consistently put up. Now if I could only find a good way to autoextract the individual players producing the scoring I'd have a nice tool built!

 
While I'm waiting to get the formatting help, I'll drop a few more tidbits. Using the remaining 1501 entries as the data pool, a grand total of THREE teams have been in the top 50% every week.

Player Min %

Jack Downing 63.8%

todd anderson 63.0%

Kimberly Regester 57.6%

Min % is their lowest percentile ranking, meaning for example Downing has beaten at least 63.8% of all entries EVERY week

All 3 of these teams look strong and are among the ones to beat from what I can tell.

To give an idea how fast this drops off, my min% 57th overall at 30.8%. I'm also only in the top 750 for total points (I've never been above the top 74% either not looking good for the home team!). The teams I listed above also have been in the 92nd percentile and above as well so they can score big with their players. What REALLY scary is that Mr. Downing has a MEDIAN percentile of 94.6% so HALF the time he is in the top 5%! The only other player with this number above 90% is Mike Pontius (and since there's 2 Mike Pontius, they'll have to figure out which is which)...and there's only 36 teams above 80.

Anyone else ready to crown Downing as king? As long as Tomlinson keeps him alive he's looking more and more dangerous to me. I don't thing I've sliced the data in any meaningful way that doesn't have him out of the top 3 teams, and things drop quickly off the top as you may have started to notice.

I WANT A CHANCE! GO BRONCOS D!

You meant Jack Downing, but that aside... see posts #2736-2738 above where I had a little chat with Downing (Grizzly One) about his team and folks can see his roster. I first noted the strength of this roster in post #2581. It really is very good.

are you sure you have the todd anderson name right? i cant find his team. i did compare my team with the downing and regester teams and after looking at it, my team doesnt stack up too well with the downing team, i would need alot of luck, which in my opinion, i would have no chance against that team. on the other hand, i do feel my team is pretty competive with the regester team which gives me some hope, if her team is one of the top contenders. thanks for the info

Good Catch on Jack vs. Grant. Guy who was at the top this week was Grant Logan and his first name was stuck in my head. My spreadsheet was on a flash drive in the car when I made the first post and I was going from memory! :bag:
 
thank you. as you already know, the common denominator of these teams is LT point machine. comparing those 3 teams, the downing team seems so rock solid. the regester and anderson teams have some holes, though my team is perfect either.

thanks for the info. looking at the top 30 gives me some hope. but unfortuneately my team is too generic by having too many of the same players that the other teams have. wish i would have taken a few more odd balls. still have some hope to make it to the top 500 though.

Hadn't had the time to look up individual rosters, but here's what I find in the top 12 rosters on a casual review...

LT2 is on 9 of the top 12

McNabb is on 4 of the top 12

FWP is on 8 of the top 12

Gore is on 8 of the top 12

whosyourmamma is on 6 of the 12

Didn't look closely at the TE/PK/D positions. Manning, Wayne, ROY, and Glenn pop up on several rosters too, but didn't write them down to count. Counted/observed on the fly as well, so don't take these numbers as absolute.

 
Wow, 1501 Robert Andrews must be praying to the right football gods.

Here's how much he's survived by each week:

2) 19.9

3) 3.1

4) 1.4

5) 40.7

6) 3.2

7) 1.0

8) 3.5

9) 5.7

10) 9.2

That's less than a TD in 6 of 9 weeks.

Hard to get knocked out, because so many of my players influence the cut pretty dramatically. If I do poorly, lots of guys do poorly, but if I do well, so does everyone else. Feeling very good about making the final 500 but will likely finish about 225-275 if I make it.

your team is as vanilla as mine!! exchange palmer for manning and your team is basically the same as mine. great minds think alike. haha. the one edge you have is Gates. i went weak on tight end and i have regretted that decision all contest long. i do agree with your logic about making it threw the cutdowns.
 
Let's just say my weeks 2-10 total is a lot closer to the bottom 30 than the top 30... :sadbanana:
thanks for pointing out what I think I forgot earlier, the "season total" is for weeks 2-10, not 1-10. The posted results from week 1 only included the top 100 (I think it was 100 anyway), so I didn't include it in the totals.
 
Where does 1260 fit in terms of rank on your spreadsheet?
1259.9 is T939
Thanks - top 1000 (im actually 1258.6). I need the big names to take a dive for my team to keep going.
Was going to say that top 1000 isn't something to make me all warm and fuzzy (actually you are #954 Mr. Lee!), but your median weekly percentile is 61.9, not too shabby! Looks like a few bad weeks pulled your total down, but when you hit, you hit pretty well.

Thanks. Does that mean I have beat 61.9% of all teams each week?

Maybe I"m missing something but this is calculated on 9 weeks, not 10.
Doesnt include the first week as that data is unavailable.
 
Gamblor:

No, but I'm not a stats whiz either(just an obsessive engineer :nerd: ). I learned all my "real" statistics on the fly at work and have a decent understanding of math in general. The number I quoted was the "median" function from excel, which if I understand correctly gives you the number that is the "middle" of a population of the data you are looking at. Half of your scores should have you beating 61.9% of the field or better (your best was 80%), and half of your scores less than 61.9% (worst was 0.8%). I understand it to be better than "average" in things like this (where bye weeks can skew your results), because one really bad week will bring down your average, but it just counts as a "worse than the median" week in this calculation. Maybe a true math guy can explain it more accurately, but the guts to your question is that this number is the result of the excel "median" function on your percentile ranks from weeks 2-10

Just for posterity I checked my old contest in 04, I got axed in the final cut down from 400 to 200 in week 12.

Is this game luck or skill?

do you have the results for everyone in that contest? I deleted my files on that one and was trying to remember where I got bounced. It was either the 400 to 200 or the one before that (1000 to 400?) Think my team name was frigntnin' illini...

This will get you to the 04 pages, links to contest and files from there.
 
Hi ctriopelle...my total being 1296, could I assume to be somewhere in the 550-650 range...thanks in advance.....by the way I was eliminated after week 9 in that '04 contest, so happily I'm already ahead of that pace...

 
are you sure you have the todd anderson name right? i cant find his team.

Hello - I'm team todd anderson checking in. Thanks ctriopelle for all the analysis. I've been so happy each week just to be alive that I wasn't paying attention to where I was ranked. Until we get to 500 all it takes is one off week. I'm actually quite nervous about making it by this week for the following reasons- Tomlinson against Denver defense- Will Gore play because of the concussion- Will TJ Hous play becuase of his concussion- Will Terry Glen's knee keep him out another week?- Will Norwood be out another week?- How will the new QB in Washington affect Cooley's numbers?We will see what the weekend brings!
 
Just for posterity I checked my old contest in 04, I got axed in the final cut down from 400 to 200 in week 12.Is this game luck or skill?
Personally, I think it is mostly luck, especially since we are all probably relatively knowledgable in fantasy football.Luck as gotten me this far. Now after reading this great analysis, I still need a ton of luck to do well from here on. It looks like I am in the middle of the pack of the remaining 1501.One more comment after reading more posts: If you have done well in multiple years, you are clearliy doing something right. I seriously doubt I could make it this far again in subsequent years (this is my first time in the contest).

It is all skill unless I get knocked out, then it is all luck.
 
I was all :banned: when I first added up my scores and got 1381.4 (just outside top 30), then I saw that is was based on 9 weeks :kicksrock:

Happily was first week was total crap, so I still total up to 1282.0 - not so bad IMO.

Just looked at Downing's entry - I've scored better than it exactly once in the first 10 weeks :unsure:

1348.4 weeks 2-10. Not bad for the Riptide boys. Here's hoping to at leats make the top 500 and get to play for 4 more weeks.

 
not feeling that confident at 1291.60, but my team is centralized to the max.... which should hopefully get me to the "playoffs" (then again, anything can happen in one particular week) :wall:

QB - Rivers, Delhomme & C. Simms

RB - FWP, Rudi, Jacobs, Gore & Norwood

WR - Wayne, Housh, Roy Williams, Glenn, Edwards, Williamson & Jennings

TE - Watson & Franks

K - Graham & J. Brown

D - Cincy & Miami

Mostly skill involved to last this long. A lot of luck on a weekly basis when you add in byes, injuries, and weather. Probably more luck then skill the rest of the way as TE2, K, and D will separate many of these similiar teams.
 
You know what an interesting turn on this contest would be? After week 10 have every team redraft with updated values.
