Some websites (don’t know which) set it up so you’re playing multiple teams each week. That way, if you score the 2nd most points, you’re guaranteed at least one win.
I wasn’t sure where to post this, so here seems as good a place as any.
I have the Giants defense in all four leagues I’m in. So of course, last night when they got 10 sacks, a couple turnovers and held the Bears to 3 points, I didn’t start them in any of my four leagues. Instead I started the Jets, Jets, Chargers and Steelers. sigh
My coaching grades are gonna blow this week.
Well, you presumably did alright with the Chargers.
Good point. That’s the All-Pro league, and amazingly enough the Chargers DEF outscored the Giants DEF 32-27.
Chargers allowed 4 points to Giants 3, got 9 sacks vs 10, both got 2 picks and a fumble recovery, but San Diego got a defensive TD to pull into the lead.
Not hating my team defenses in any of the leagues.
I was heavily targetting Arian Foster in all my leagues, but I only managed to snatch him in the auction league for $19. I think his stock really started to rise that week and people (he went one damn pick ahead of me in the all pro league - I’d have had a core of Adrian Peterson/Arian Foster/Matt Schaub/Calvin Johnson) and I couldn’t quite afford him at $39 in the big league - I basically took Best instead, which is working out pretty well anyway.
Ok, I need suggestions for a mathematical way to compare multi-league performance. Since we’ve got all the SDMB league data ready to go, we want to come up with some system to compare how everyone is doing on average across leagues. It has to account for league size (ie being 4th in a 10 man league is not as impressive as being 4th in a 20 man league) and has to deal with some people being in 5 leagues, some only 1, etc. Any ideas?
On yahoo, how long do trades take exactly? Is it always 48 hours, or is it the morning of the third day after the trade was made, or what?
When on Friday do you need to get them in for it to go through before Sunday?
Always two days. 48 hours from acceptance to finalization. You can change that in the league settings though.
How are you guys doing across multiple leagues? I’m having what might shape up to be my best fantasy year ever. I almost had a 4-0 this week again across my 4 leagues (had a trade accepted at friday at 3pm - 2 hours later than the cutoff for having the trade go through that week - had it gone through I’d have won).
In the all pro, auction, big, and dynasty SDMB leagues I’m 4-2 (4th), 4-2 (1st), 5-1 (1st), and 5-1 (2nd) respectively, for a combined 18-6 record. Anyone else doing well across multiple leagues?
I was doing great – 1st in two leagues and 4th in the other two – up until this week, where I went 1-3. It’s all downhill from here.
We have a new feature in the fantasy rankings: Aggregate Rank. It’s a combined ranking for those of us in multiple SDMB leagues.
The Aggregate Rank is based on the GM potential scores, as opposed to the actual scores you earned. The rank is expressed as a win/loss record. This record isn’t your actual record in your various leagues, but instead your potential record if you played a head-to-head matchup against every team each week.
For example, let’s say your GM ranking for a given week puts you at 4th of 10 in one league and 8th of 14 in another. In the first league, you finished ahead of 6 players, so this counts as 6 wins. You finished behind 3, so that’s 3 losses. Add in the second league where you finished 8th of 14 (6 “wins” and 7 “losses”) and your combined record for the week would be 9-10.
The Aggregate Rank does not include players who are only in one league, as their performance is perfectly measured by that league’s rankings.

My ego is forcing me to point out that in week 6 I went a dismal 17-27. My #1 ranking looked much more impressive last week.
I’m doing horribly. After making the playoffs in 3 of 4 last year, I’ve started 2-4 in all three I’m participating in this year. On the other hand, I’m about to thump Ellis in the dynasty league, and I think I’m probably better than a 51% shot to beat him in HHM.
Very cool feature Ellis. I’m kind of shocked that you’re ranked higher than me, you must be doing pretty well in HHM.
I do wonder why you chose to do the win/loss based off the GM score rather than the actual score. You have both stored so it’d be as easy to do either or both. It seems like the actual score gives a better picture of how people are actually doing.
All 4 of my fantasy games have been within 10 points all afternoon. Kinda nuts.
Wish you’d done that aggregate rank thing last year. Pretty sure I would have finished on top.
These rankings are intended to measure the same thing the league-specific rankings measure: how well you assembled fantasy talent compared to your peers. Getting hosed by a gametime decision or just flat-out picking the wrong guy to start is more a measure of luck than skill, IMO. Getting the talent in the first place is the better measure of FF prowess.
I started off strong but have fallen off the cliff. It’s a 14-man league, and the first six weeks I finished 2nd, 1st, 5th, 2nd, 5th, 14th. Oofa. I’m currently ranked 3rd overall in the GM rankings, 2nd overall in actual points scored. Sadly the matchups have been killing me, limping to 6th place with a 3-3 record.
EDIT: I suppose I could add in a second table on the right using the actual points scored.
Looks like I might get to give you a drubbing in both HHM and the dynasty league this week, Ellis.
I strongly disagree. Picking which players to play against what matchups is half the skill required in any FF league. It’s certainly not random. I spend a lot of time going pretty deep into the matchups - like sometimes I’ll think “ok, he’s going to be seeing the second corner most of the game, and he has a 4” height advantage over the guy, and the corner just had a hamstring injury two weeks ago he’s not quite over so it’s looking good" type stuff.
That’s why it’s so interesting to have the GM/coach stats. We get to see who’s good at assembling talent and how good they are at picking the matchups from week to week. Those are two seperate skills and it’s interesting to see the results.
But I think both skills combine into creating one output - that being the actual points scored by the team - so I think when comparing people across seperate leagues, using the combined output (actual points scored) is a better indicator of fantasy skill.
Yeah, that’d be cool if it’s easy. This is all just informational anyway - it’s not like we’re determining the outcome of an official contest - so people can evaluate the data in any way they’d like.
Based on the coaching grades, it looks random to me.
Forgot about this. It’s not particularly easy, (though not hard of course,) but I would find it interesting. I’m expecting to have it set for the week 7 rankings.
Because the coaching grades don’t correlate strongly with GM grade, or because it varies for the same owner in different leagues, or what?
No big deal. But wouldn’t you just have to swap out the variable that stores potential score for the one that stores the actual scores? The actual scores have to be calculated/stored anyway, in order to do the Actual Score / Potential score percentage.
Guess I should just take a look myself. /lazy
