Finding drafted teams

If you're not logged in then the draft will not be registered to you. Also, it may take up to 30 minutes after the draft to import teams to your user page. If it has been more than 30 minutes since the conclusion of the draft and your team still does not appear, send an email to FFCalc@gmail.com describing the problem.

Importing drafted teams to the Lineup Calculator

When clicking on a team name in the 'My Mock Drafts' list, the team automatically populates the Lineup Calculator. Changes to the team are saved automatically, but the original team's fantasy points will always be displayed in the summary user page.

Lineup Calculator

Summary

The Lineup Calculator is used to analyze roster transactions and determine who to start each week.

Player Views

There are four views to view player information: fantasy points, playing status, opponent, and location. The colors for each row indicate the player's position. The shading indicates whether that player is projected to have an average, good game or bad game. Light shading indicates a bad game, dark shading a good game, and normal shading an average game. Shading for past weeks shows whether the player had a good or bad matchup at the time.

Analyze Trades and Adds/Drops

The Lineup Calculator can analyze the effect of a trade or add/drop on your roster.

Add a player to your roster with the box at the top of the page. Begin to type the player's name and they will show up in the drop-down box.

Fantasy Football Lineup Calculator Add Player

Drop a player by either typing their name in the drop box, or clicking the Lineup Calculator Drop Button button by their name:

Fantasy Football Lineup Calculator Drop Player

For instance, to analyze the effect of the trade on this specific team of receving Reggie Bush in exchange for Andre Johnson, you would add Reggie Bush to the Add/Drop box as described above and drop Andre Johnson.

At this point, the transaction is not final. The box shows what the effect would be on your lineup if the trade was final. The box shows the average effect it has on your team, and the graph to the right shows the effect it will have on your starter's projected points every week:

In this case, the trade would be beneficial to your team and would increase your team's fantasy points by an average of 1.5 fantasy points per week.

Edit League Settings

The league settings are editable by clicking the link at the top near the team name. Clicking that link will bring up this dialog box:

Editable options include three types of flex lineups, yards, TDs, receptions, interceptions, sacks, 2pt conversions, and field goal distances. After you've modified your settings, click submit. Another dialog will pop up indicating that the page will be refreshed so that the new settings can be applied to your team.

Saving Teams
