We'll start by loading the packages: ```{r setup, message=FALSE, eval = eval} library(ffscrapr) library(dplyr) library(tidyr) ``` In Sleeper, unlike in other platforms, it's very unlikely that you'll remember the league ID - both because most people use the mobile app, and because it happens to be an 18 digit number! It's a little more natural to start analyses from the username, so let's start there! ```{r eval = eval} solarpool_leagues <- sleeper_userleagues("solarpool",2020) head(solarpool_leagues) ``` Let's pull the JML league ID from here for analysis, and set up a Sleeper connection object. ```{r eval = eval} jml_id <- solarpool_leagues %>% filter(league_name == "The JanMichaelLarkin Dynasty League") %>% pull(league_id) jml_id # For quick analyses, I'm not above copy-pasting the league ID instead! jml <- sleeper_connect(season = 2020, league_id = jml_id) jml ``` I've done this with the `sleeper_connect()` function, although you can also do this from the `ff_connect()` call - they are equivalent. Most if not all of the remaining functions after this point are prefixed with "ff_". Cool! Let's have a quick look at what this league is like. ```{r eval = eval} jml_summary <- ff_league(jml) str(jml_summary) ``` Okay, so it's the JanMichaelLarkin Dynasty League, it's a 1QB league with 12 teams, half ppr scoring, and rosters about 300 players. Let's grab the rosters now. ```{r eval = eval} jml_rosters <- ff_rosters(jml) head(jml_rosters) ``` ## Values Cool! Let's pull in some additional context by adding DynastyProcess player values. ```{r eval = eval} player_values <- dp_values("values-players.csv") # The values are stored by fantasypros ID since that's where the data comes from. # To join it to our rosters, we'll need playerID mappings. player_ids <- dp_playerids() %>% select(sleeper_id,fantasypros_id) player_values <- player_values %>% left_join(player_ids, by = c("fp_id" = "fantasypros_id")) %>% select(sleeper_id,ecr_1qb,ecr_pos,value_1qb) # Drilling down to just 1QB values and IDs, we'll be joining it onto rosters and don't need the extra stuff jml_values <- jml_rosters %>% left_join(player_values, by = c("player_id"="sleeper_id")) %>% arrange(franchise_id,desc(value_1qb)) head(jml_values) ``` Let's do some team summaries now! ```{r eval = eval} value_summary <- jml_values %>% group_by(franchise_id,franchise_name,pos) %>% summarise(total_value = sum(value_1qb,na.rm = TRUE)) %>% ungroup() %>% group_by(franchise_id,franchise_name) %>% mutate(team_value = sum(total_value)) %>% ungroup() %>% pivot_wider(names_from = pos, values_from = total_value) %>% arrange(desc(team_value)) value_summary ``` So with that, we've got a team summary of values! I like applying some context, so let's turn these into percentages - this helps normalise it to your league environment. ```{r eval = eval} value_summary_pct <- value_summary %>% mutate_at(c("team_value","QB","RB","WR","TE"),~.x/sum(.x)) %>% mutate_at(c("team_value","QB","RB","WR","TE"),round, 3) value_summary_pct ``` Armed with a value summary like this, we can see team strengths and weaknesses pretty quickly, and figure out who might be interested in your positional surpluses and who might have a surplus at a position you want to look at. ## Age Another question you might ask: what is the average age of any given team? I like looking at average age by position, but weighted by dynasty value. This helps give a better idea of age for each team - including who might be looking to offload an older veteran! ```{r eval = eval} age_summary <- jml_values %>% group_by(franchise_id,pos) %>% mutate(position_value = sum(value_1qb,na.rm=TRUE)) %>% ungroup() %>% mutate(weighted_age = age*value_1qb/position_value, weighted_age = round(weighted_age, 1)) %>% group_by(franchise_id,franchise_name,pos) %>% summarise(count = n(), age = sum(weighted_age,na.rm = TRUE)) %>% pivot_wider(names_from = pos, values_from = c(age,count)) age_summary ``` ## Next steps In this vignette, I've used ~three functions: ff_connect, ff_league, and ff_rosters. Now that you've gotten this far, why not check out some of the other possibilities? ```{r include = FALSE} httptest::stop_mocking() unlink(c("ffscrapr-tests-1.4.7","f.zip"), recursive = TRUE, force = TRUE) ```
