Y! 2019 Fantasy Hockey Rankings Analysis (Year over Year)

[jer_33]

As the title states, comparing rankings and positions from last years ranking and this years.

What ranking system are you using that has Korpi inside the top 100 and Grubauer at 14 (As examples).

I think he is listing from Yahoo Rankings. - here is where I was incorrect

I remember Yahoo has 2 separate draft tiers, is that what you mean? - to go on this, which one of the tiers are you basing the analysis off of?

Also if this is the Yahoo list, and rankings Thanks!

Edit: I realized I can't read haha

[jer_33]

Sorry guys, going to have to go back to the drawing board.

I'm using Yahoo Default Rankings - but something is amiss.

[Eskimo Brother]

Sorry guys, going to have to go back to the drawing board.

I'm using Yahoo Default Rankings - but something is amiss.

I'm wondering if you might be going into a league specific default where goalies are weighted differently.

[jer_33]

As I've done in the past, I generated a "new league" in Yahoo in order to copy the default draft rankings.

I've realized now that I get different rankings for a running Yahoo league, and wonder if the rankings are now dynamic based on your league's scoring?

But yes, Grubauer is listed as a top pick in whatever the standard Yahoo scoring format is.

But yes, Grubauer is listed as a top pick in whatever the standard Yahoo scoring format is.

Well that is crazy

[Eskimo Brother]

Yes that is an immensely goalie heavy league, completely skewing your numbers.

In one of my leagues that follows the yahoo default scoring, Grubauer is listed as the 79th ranked player (and reasonably the 14th goalie).
