I believe the platform will use their usual calculator to do hidden price changes. This won't break your structure! But it will change which breakeven shows up... I think it will say Gulden's BE is 144 not 189 🤓

Ridiculous when you consider their ages.
Measuring the impact of a Rising Star candidate is the hardest part - we can't pick it based on disposals or goals alone. I think Player Rating points are a nice balance and what we are witnessing from Jai Newcombe is incredible.

My best attempt at a pricing model that accurately describes Round 1, and uses a 3-game weighted averages. Large price changes mean players reach their true value faster, which makes breakevens more stable.

Some general thoughts about the

From my time interacting with SC content, it's very clear the scoring system is incredibly misunderstood. The lack of education is alarming and simple definitions create more problems than they fix

teams had Sam Docherty as VC in Round 1.
9.7% of them took the VC (110)
42.8% of them captained Rory Laird (57)
11.1% of them captained Josh Dunkley (77)
16.4% of them had a better captain (111+)
The average captain score for non-loopers was 79.5
@jaiden_popowski
are you able to scrape the data on how many folks had Doc as VC but opted to run the gauntlet and not take the loop score, and then how many of them got a better Captain score than Doc?

73 stoppage points is his highest in almost two years (no Libba). Limited CBAs but 15pts better than anyone else around the ground.
56 transition points is solid, but the Dogs averaged 64.2 TP each, he didn't capitalise!
If the

All-Australian team was selected by:
• the highest averages in Player Ratings points;
• with a minimum of 13 out of 16 games;
• and by their main lineup position in 2022.
AFL Player Ratings measure a player’s performance using location and the result of events.
The early byes present a lot of unknowns - but we do get the benefits of Best 18 to help out. If we were to pick an early bye premium, what can we expect as their cover? 😬
In 2023, the average 19th score was 58 points 🤔

Breaking news
#AFLFantasy
🚨
"Double price change" does not exist ⚠️
AF HQ have decided to entirely skip the change that would've typically occur now. It won't be made up for next week.
Instead a single change will occur:
P2 = 0.85 * P1 + 0.083 * Mn * S1 + 0.066 * Mn * S0
Sanders sub obviously makes this last minute trade decision hard, but low time on ground will only help his chances at holding on to that precious FWD status.
I want MORE carnage because it gives better coaches an advantage - a chance to adapt smartly.
