Good to hear from you and hope you've been enjoying the offseason. Off the top of my head, I can't think of anyone who has done that kind of analysis, but there's a chance it's out there somewhere. I say give it a try and see what you find.<BR/><BR/>As for the drafting methods that I use, I would say that I use basically anything I can get my hands on...and then sort of go by gut rather than anything too scientific. I don't really believe 100% in any of those individual drafting tools, so I think a combo is the best approach.<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps!Fantasy Football Librarianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08698130238500266869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34425107.post-54677662264763673242008-05-09T06:28:05.080-04:002008-05-09T06:28:05.080-04:00After posting this I received a message from the manager of the web site and the broke down the data over 1-5, 6-10, 11-15 weeks. While I haven’t spent a lot of time looking at the data yet, I do see some movement of teams comparing the 1-14 and the 1-5. So now I am thinking has anyone done a comparison between say the year before and actual performance over that period of time? Have you seen anything? If not, I think I might tackle it if I can find the data from prior years.<BR/><BR/>TonesTonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05282779810752339874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34425107.post-89845643661669820622008-05-08T09:19:21.163-04:002008-05-08T09:19:21.163-04:00After reviewing your post, I recalled another SOS post from another site recently posted: http://www.fftoolbox.com/football/strength_of_schedule.cfm . It is pretty cool because it breaks down the schedule into the whole season, regular season, etc. I find the numbers useful in the first 4/5 weeks by then you have a sampling of data to use the current year play. <BR/><BR/>The reason why it stood out to me was it ranks the Patriots in the top 5 but not number 1. So now I am trying to figure out what the methodology is that would create the differences. What am I missing?<BR/><BR/>Also, I would be interested to know what drafting methods and tools you use VBD, VBD baseline, Positional, Ranking, etc. <BR/><BR/>TonesTonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05282779810752339874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34425107.post-39100304309828419272008-05-07T22:37:45.071-04:002008-05-07T22:37:45.071-04:00Good stuff!
