Shawn Siegele uses the Game Level Similarity Projections and Passing Matchup Rater to help create unique rosters with extreme upside in the FFPC Playoff Contest.
I love this contest. On Tuesday, I broke it down in detail, explaining how every relevant player on all 14 playoff teams fit into coherent contest builds. Here’s a quick look at how it works:
If you haven’t yet played the FFPC playoff contests, you’re missing out on the best part of the reality playoffs. With price points at both $200 ($500k grand prize) and $35 ($100k), you get one more shot at a six-figure prize.
Both contests feature FFPC scoring with Super Bowl points doubled. You get to work with a huge starting lineup: 1-QB, 2-RB, 2-WR, 1-TE, 4-Flex, 1-K, 1-DST. With 12 starters and 14 teams, you have two teams that are faded entirely.
Today we take it to the next level with tools to better understand the game environments for Wild Card weekend. The decisions you make and the story you tell in Round 1 will almost certainly determine whether you win the half a million.
In addition to the GLSP and PMR, I’m going to be referencing stats from the Advanced Team Explorer, the Stealing Signals tool, the Strength-of-Schedule Streamer, and the NFL Player Explorer.
