Re: The DLF Dynasty Trade Analyzer

Postby DLF_TylerK » Thu Oct 24, 2019 8:21 am

We've had some discussion on this and we're struggling with how to quantify the differential in value based on league size alone.

How is the 15th overall pick different in value in a 10 team league than it is in a 12 team league? How do you quantify that difference in a non-abstract, meaningful manner? And ultimately, is there really an actual difference in the value of that pick?

Thoughts on this are welcomed.

Thanks

Is there any updated on different pick values for different league sizes? I figure it's a decently simple fix based on average pick value right?

I actually thought we did adjust for that, so, for example, the value of 1.11 (11th) in a 12-team league = value of 2.01 (11th) in a 10-team league, but that is not readily apparent right now because the current season picks are not available. Do you think the values of those should be different? I would have thought the same.

I meant if you put in the value for a random 2nd, isn't a random 2nd worth a lot more in a 10 team league than it is in a 16 team league? The value range in a 10 team league is from 11-20 overall but in a 16 team league, it's 17-32 overall.

One thing I just noticed, is that when going from 1QB to 2QB there are some odd player value changes. Njoku goes from 128.4 down to 108.6, where as Herndon goes from 109.9 up to 110.2. I don't get why Njoku is suddenly worth so much less, yet Herndon increases? Don't get me wrong, I know it's just a tool meant for fun and not meant to be the gospel on dynasty trades. Still, it's odd that there is such a drastic difference when only changing from 1QB to 2QB.

Hey loon... I think I may have said this before, but awesome logo / avi ! Love it!

Anyway, to answer your question, since the TA draws it's data from different sources this can lead to some surprising differences in player value between regular and SF leagues, For instance, the regular player values are pulled and combined from regular dynasty ADP, our overall dynasty rankings, and trades that happen in real world 1QB leagues.

The values for the 2QB / SF trades are drawn from a different data set - our 2QB / Superflex rankings, our SF ADP, and trades in SF leagues. Since these are different people and different data, these curious variations can occur.

There are as we all know pros and cons to every method. While the upside of constantly drawing from continuously updated data is a big plus in our opinion, it can lead to some weird results.

Anyway, hope that helps. Always welcome and appreciate the feedback!

The TA was free last year for a period of time as we were rolling things out and working out the kinks. There are presently no plans to make it available for free, but not ruling it out, either.

Thanks!

We have been discussing how to best assign values to both Devy players as well as IDP's. Both are trick, but IDP's especially so because of the wide variations in league scoring formats, roster requirements, and even just how people use and value IDP's. That said, we are working on it. Just ETA yet.

Thanks!

In the SF calculator (perhaps in the other one also) how can the 1.01 be worth more than any player that can be taken with it? Or are you just trying to show that the perceived value of the pick?

Also, really think that adjusting values for differences in league size is necessary in SF. QBs in 10 tm vs 16 tm leagues are not even close to par.

I love the tool, just making suggestions!

Not a calculator guy, but I assume it's two-fold:

One: There is value in having the choice
Two: There is potential for an elite player to go to an elite situation. Depending on league size if Taylor goes to the Chiefs, he should be the 1.01, even in some SF leagues

Exactly my thought. The difference between the 1.01 and the current highest ranked rookie represents the potential that a different player improves their standing. It’s the difference between the value of holding the pick in leagues that haven’t drafted rookies yet vs. holding the player in leagues that have already drafted.

For example, the 1.01 is more valuable than say, Swift, because while Swift’s value can never eclipse the 1.01 (you will always be able to use the 2020 1.01 on Swift if you choose) the value of the 1.01 can eclipse Swift’s if, say, Kansas City takes Taylor in the first round.

Great addition of MFL sync!
With this integration would it be possible to format a tool that summarized/compared teams in a particular dynasty league using the current DLF trade values?

Could be by totals, players vs. picks, by pos, etc.
Thanks
