Guides

Longer explanations of how to read the numbers this site shows you, kept separate from the tools themselves. Every one is built on figures from this site rather than from memory, and each says where its numbers came from and when they were read.

Guide

How to read a career stat line

Volume against efficiency, what targets and per game rates actually tell you, rookie rows, ageing, and the things a stat table cannot see.

Guide

Guide

Where a room is drafting somebody is a fact about drafters, not about players. Where the two come apart, and where they surprisingly do not.

Guide

Value above replacement: why the second player in a two-for-one is worth so much less than his points suggest, and what the tool cannot know.

Guide

What changes in a 14-team league

The same player is worth more, and not evenly. What replacement level actually does between 10, 12 and 14 teams, from this site's own model.
