Trying out something on FanDuel

[R0CKnR0LLA]

I'm averaging projected point totals from numerous sources. Then I'm applying that data to the salary cost to figure out which players give the highest expected return in relation to cost. PPPC (projected points per cost) if you will. With this information I'm creating a roster that mathematically has the maximum projected points possible given the restraints of cap space and player cost.

 

The mathematics pushed me into picking players I wouldn't normally. From my own personal eye test it looks like a middle of the road roster but this is what the math gives me as the best possible roster combination overall (at least according to projections). This will be the first week I'm trying this out, I'll update with how it goes.

Would be nice to see the calculations when done.

This is what I do as well using footballguys projections. 

 

Hasn't worked very well lol

You're doing what????

Somewhat promising results, still needs some fine tuning. I had 4 guys really flop and fall way under projections and still came within 2 points of cashing playing the double up. Actually I would have cashed if not for the built in house juice, oh well. Anyway, normally you can only get away with one or two flops for a week and still cash so this is actually somewhat promising even though I just barely missed the money.

 

I did all the calculations by hand this time but I'm gonna go ahead and write a program that will run through all possible roster combinations (I think there's about 600 million) and spit out the top 10 maximum projected rosters possible. Then I'll choose a few to play from there. Also, going to research to find the most accurate projections as those are key.

Side note, the highest projected points per cost this last week was Kelvin Benjamin.

Nice. I think I will do the same and we can compare rosters. Unfortunately I don't have the software to run through all 600M combos but can do a few hundred thousand or use a solver.

Very cool. I would go with my gut instinct first and then run the numbers. Would be interesting to see if your gut instinct ever matched up with a top 10 lineup. And then if it did do risk more considering the odds of that ever happening. Would make a killer line chart too.

hahahahahaha

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

uh huh

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Played 4 rosters this week, going to cash in 3 of them. My worst roster still had 104 points and that's with 4 players flopping pretty hard. Here is my Carolina Huddle league roster:
