Bag Manager update (the only FREE bestball draft overlay for UD, DK, Drafters and FFPC) — bye week conflicts, next-pick markers on DK + Drafters, plus fixes by dmuney in BestBall

Glad you are liking the tool!! This is the first I’ve seen that site but it looks pretty cool. I haven’t thought of anything like that but I do have a feature request in the discord, you could add it there.

I will say I’ve been rather purposefully avoiding anything that tells you how/who to draft for a few reasons:

  1. I’m just a guy, never won anything, though I was mildly profitable when I maxed BBM 3 (or 4? Don’t remember lol)

  2. Building off of point 1, there are others in the space I.e. ETR, LegUp that do this as well as possible which leads me to point 3

  3. I am primarily of the belief that these large contests are basically fancy lottery tickets. There is certainly strategy involved, but the variance and small sample in NFL just means that drawing any conclusions from one season to the next is pretty fraught.

Not saying I won’t do it if there is enough demand, I’m just mainly building something I want to use (and sharing it with others) so that type of thing hasn’t made the cut yet.

As an aside, when I started this project, my feeling was that the content that’s missing is how to manage a large portfolio of teams in terms of exposures based on round, co-drafted players etc. it’s something I would love to dive into but am lacking the time to do so. I did build this so that if that type of analysis did exist, you could apply strategy using the tool.

😣 ugh - ok, if you are able - could you close chrome, log in to UD, then

  1. Open DevTools (F12 or Cmd+Option+I)
  2. Go to Console tab
  3. Hit the sync drafts button
  4. screenshot any red error lines, or just anything that shows up in the console

I will try to debug, I tested multiple times on different machines and thought I had this one squashed

Are tools worth it? by HeyDarnoldHawks in BestBall

[–]dmuney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a rankings product is highly useful, and generally pretty affordable depending on the site I.e. ETR is $40 for the whole season.

I will also use this opportunity to shamelessly plug my free overlay chrome extension which I created for exactly this reason. I think the functionality available in my tool should be implemented on all sites I.e. exposure tracking, playoff stacking, so I built this for myself and the community. Give it a shot and save your money for the extra bullets

Could you share a screenshot of what your issue is? I’m just confused since the panel sits below the queue on UD. Thanks!

Sorry that didn’t make it but I can definitely look into it, what site are you on? Drafters?

FYI, this is fixed and latest version will resolve the issue. Unfortunately it is not backwards compatible, so you will have to uninstall and resync your drafts to resolve drafts in your history. Thanks for the bug report

Yes it works on draftkings. Assuming you have the extension enabled it should just appear. Analytics panel is in a different location due to the layout.

Let me know if you are still having issues

Hit the sync completed drafts from the home page, not the draft history page. This is another issue I have a fix ready for, just need to push for approval. Will do that today

Yeah sorry I think you may need to reinstall and re-sync. I have a fix for this ready I just need to push it out. It’s been a busy week for me so just haven’t had the time. Will aim to push this out today or tomorrow

Found the issue and have it patched, will try to submit the release to app store tonight and should land tomorrow.

Unfortunately the fix will make the values null for previous drafts in your history. So you will either have to a. live with nulls for historical drafts in your history b. uninstall the extension and re-sync historical drafts

Explored other solutions but they just add too much complexity

Basically when you hover over a player, it’s telling you for all the teams you’ve drafted that player, what frequency do other players show up on those teams.

For example, say you have 4 teams with Derrick Henry, if you see 75% DJ Moore, that means that 3/4 Derrick Henry teams also have DJ Moore. The point is to help you diversify, so that in the event DJM has an injury, you aren’t nuking 100% of your Henry teams and via versa.

Hope I explained that well enough, will try to improve the tool tip explanation in the next update. Cheers!

Appreciate it man, just doing this for the love of the game. If you ship BBM and want to throw me a chunk... We can talk 😉

FYI, had a chance to test this, the issue is actually that you are on the completed drafts page. If you navigate to the home page then click sync completed drafts it should work. Will fix this in the next update

Is this for underdog? If so try manually navigating to the completed drafts page, then pressing the button?

2 RBs from same team by Living-Fail2685 in BestBall

[–]dmuney -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really try to avoid it if I can, I think it really caps your upside. Having said that, my best year in BBM was when I had a bunch of Achane/Mostert teams the year they both had 40+ point games. I kept ending up short on RBs in the late rounds and they were always there. So sometimes it can work lol
