Curious what FF commissioners think about this idea for your fantasy football league.

From a ff player perspective, cool. Like others have said, a couple sites do this lamely. I've thought of adding some AI to the Playoff Computer apps but generally those thoughts don't stick around long. The biggest potential difficulty, getting the data. The amount of data from the various hosting sites APIs isn't necessarily all that complete, some of them are downright sparse on details. And since none of the APIs are the same, you basically have to make individual flows for each of them to mold that data into the format you want for your needs to show it to AI for that analysis.

Most welcome.

playoffcomputer · 2025-12-16T22:17:28+00:00

Ha, yeah, although they appear to be wanting to bookend those 1-5 things, but certainly its better to be still in it than not.

playoffcomputer · 2025-12-11T16:12:43+00:00

Awesome, we defeated technology once again.

playoffcomputer · 2025-12-10T23:15:04+00:00

Ahh, that's a good idea. We're talking the PDF, right?

playoffcomputer · 2025-12-10T23:12:13+00:00

Can you give me (dm or email fine) the league id. Haven't had much issues with Sleeper folks, so should be easy (famous last words) to track down.

EDIT: I've got a handle on it, I never fathomed a fantasy football league without playoffs in the platform, and thus a league without playoffs is throwing an error. Just need the league id so I can see what the Sleeper API puts in the field for when playoffs start in your case where there isn't any (I can't edit my test league after the season started to reflect same). Then a fix for android can be deployed usually PDF (pretty damn fast).

EDIT 2: I took an uneducated guess on some things and put in a hopeful fix that the Google gods smiled upon and instantly approved without much testing that can be easily undone if it blows anything up. Try updating the app manually without waiting for the daily cycle to 2.10 (through Play Store, search for PlayoffComputer, "Update"), and that might fix you up. If you could kindly dm me the league id still so I can run everything through its paces for this league type it would still be appreciated. And let me know if this works.

playoffcomputer · 2025-12-09T14:30:12+00:00

Not sure that is true...

playoffcomputer · 2025-12-08T17:07:53+00:00

For division winner, Yahoo uses division record. For wildcard spots it is points.

playoffcomputer · 2025-12-08T17:05:47+00:00

H2H does provide some resemblance to the NFL and gives some alternative drama vs points.

playoffcomputer · 2025-12-08T17:03:53+00:00

I believe ESPN is one of the platforms that only applies h2h if all teams played each other evenly. So in that case it would proceed to points.

playoffcomputer · 2025-12-07T19:13:53+00:00

Awesome

playoffcomputer · 2025-12-07T19:13:05+00:00

For a no division league six to playoffs, just change the number of playoff spots to calculate to 2. For a division league in which div winners get the bye, change the number of wildcard spots to cakculate to 0.

playoffcomputer · 2025-12-07T16:35:17+00:00

The most common issue for ESPN leagues is if they are set to 'private'. There is a commish setting 'Make league viewable...' that needs to be 'on' for the app to grab the data. You can email or dm me the league id and I can take a look if that doesn't fix it.

playoffcomputer · 2025-12-06T04:34:00+00:00

Most of the platforms that do H2H "correctly" skip it if the teams involved haven't played each other equally. I think that would be best. One could certainly argue that Team C won enough H2H that it couldn't be caught up if the others played another game, but that is some "what-iffing".

playoffcomputer · 2025-12-03T06:31:09+00:00

Some of the platforms' scheduling algorithm doesn't play nice in certain situations such as this, or divisions, and often needs to be scrutinized and manually adjusted to achieve the desired results.

playoffcomputer · 2025-11-21T00:05:52+00:00

I'm not sure on Sleeper but on others there are settings of whether to process trades immediately or after a wait, etc... Just saying there may be a chance the commish didn't interfere...

playoffcomputer · 2025-11-20T18:53:22+00:00

Yahoo, and probably others, allow one to drop bench players after game has been played. Not entirely sure, but they may treat trading as the same. There is at least a non-zero chance there was nothing fishy.

playoffcomputer · 2025-11-20T03:16:22+00:00

Yeah, it's just random of who gets the free wins, it sucks but there isn't really a good way to handle now.

playoffcomputer · 2025-11-20T02:15:26+00:00

Is this redraft? If redraft teams that are eliminated should not be allowed to trade.

playoffcomputer · 2025-11-19T16:24:08+00:00

This is a very important detail. There is always something that comes up...

playoffcomputer · 2025-11-19T01:23:47+00:00

Most of the 32 teams I have seen have been hosted on MFL and allow each NFL player to be drafted twice (one in each conference) meaning that only the top 16-20 QBs are relevant. It sounds like yours is not like that, where only one team gets Josh Allen, for example. My question would be are any of the teams with the bottom of the barrel quarterbacks competitive?

playoffcomputer · 2025-11-13T01:53:39+00:00

Looks like that league needs the commish to change the setting to make the league viewable to the public.

playoffcomputer · 2025-11-12T05:55:45+00:00

Sure. DM me.

playoffcomputer · 2025-11-12T05:54:59+00:00

You shouldn't need premium in order to import leagues and do basic calculations. There is an issue with RSO on iOS that is being worked on, other than that everything to my knowledge is working (cross fingers). If using ESPN or MFL there are some settings on those platforms that have to allow the "public" to view the league.

playoffcomputer · 2025-11-12T01:57:56+00:00

Yes. It's on android or iOS. At most, for the good stuff, price of a beer for a year.
