Topic: 2nd custom upload column

1 Topic by sangamc
the ability to upload 2 columns of information per player and solve against them would be nice. 1 column could be projections and the other could be ratings. I personally have been tracking NFL ownerships since last year on DK and would like to use the 2nd column for my projected ownership numbers that I have modeled in Rstudio.

PS crunchers looking to take their projection and analysis to the next level should seriously consider learning R. Especially for baseball and basketball.
I'm not sure I understand, what would be the objective that you are maximizing using two criteria?
I am not trying to maximize 2 criteria. Just want to have another option for stats to upload. Just like we are able to solve for floor, ceiling, average or FP projection. It would be nice to have one more custom option in addition to My projection.

When solving i always look at the other columns when judging what lineups to roll with. If I am feeling the mood I may try a high ceiling lineup in MLB GPP or a more stable high avg lineup for my golf 50/50.

Too often I make lineups in FC then load them into RStudio so I can see the lineup with all the other stats columns (that i like) side by side and get a better overall feel for what kind of lineup I've got. They usually end up looking like this (My Olympic basketball example).

The ownership column contains a projected owenershp ive calculated using a model. I use it to get an idea of what kind of team I've got. I could obviously solve for ownership, but i dont think a team with all players over 40% owned would be a competitive one :)

Having the extra column in FC elminates the back and forth. I hope most of us making projections also have a rating in additon to raw projected pts that they would like to upload
If you do this, please also consider some way to be able to upload player exposure settings. That'd be a huge benefit to me.
I will look into adding this in the near future. We have been asked for uploading exposure quite a bit, so I will address both of these at the same time.
Thanks! the extra column could be useful for anything. My immediate uses would be custom rankings or ownership % model numbers. Exposures would also save a lot of time. :)
