Fantasy Football Tool to calculate stats for any of your mini-league!

TheSetMiner

Hey. Some of you may have seen some of the stats I've been posting on this forum the past few gameweeks. Well I thought I would make a chrome extension so others can do the same for any of their leagues.

It's free to download here:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fpl-mini-league-stats-cal/ofjikfigpedfahjpninpbegobibogbda

You can run it for any of your leagues simply by opening that league page and clicking the icon which appears in the right side of the address bar. It will get stats such as gameweek average, most captained, starting selections, benched players, transferred in/out players, average transfers made etc. just be aware that if there are more than 50 in your league, this program will calculate the stats for the top 50 in that league.

I'd appreciate any feedback you have! And if anyone needs help understanding it or anything let me know!

Thanks man. I learnt a lot making it and I think it is genuinely a really useful tool so hopefully others agree!

Thanks so much man, this makes it so much easier to calculate the actual average for my leagues (i.e.e top 50). Really helpful tool!

Minor update to show: Average point hits per person in league and League Standard Score [average of top 5 teams in a league]

Just got around to playing with this, best thing ever!

No harm bumping it for those who missed it.

If there was enough demand for this I would look into it? I haven't developed an android app before, however, so it would likely take a while to learn the basics etc.
Also for an app you would probably have to enter the league ID into a form box to get your calculations whereas with the extension you have the ability of just clicking the icon on a given league page which is more user-friendly I think.

Does this still work for anyone? Mine half works. Can't see transfer or league stats, just what % each player is. Very handy last season!

Hey, sorry to anybody trying to use my extension so far this season! It seems something had changed slightly with the FPL website that was throwing it off. I am working on fixing it at the moment. Hopefully it will at least be user-friendly again by the end of today!

Are you gonna run the twitter account again this year? Some fun/interesting stuff on that last year

Hi, I probably won't be able to comment as frequently on the twitter this year but from time to time I will try to tweet a little!

Update: The Extension seems to be working now apart from the transfers in/out section. Is that the same for everyone else?

Yes it's working for me now. Could do with the transfers section added though, I found that really handy!

All sections work for me, including transfers in / out

The transfers in/out section seems to be kind of hit or miss at the moment. I had a look a few days ago and couldn't work out what was going on with regards some of the output. I will try to find the time to take another look in the next few days. In the meantime if anyone has any idea what might be happening, please let me know. I am by no means an expert in javascript!

Just had a look there and played around with a few leagues I'm in, it seems to work fine till ya get to a team that hasn't made transfers, then breaks up. You need to put in a line that handles if there's been no transfers.

eg, I have a league that has 20 teams... http://fantasy.premierleague.com/my-leagues/79715/standings/
If ya run it on that, each transfer should weigh 5%.
Team 5 hasn't made any transfer
So it just shows the players each of the first 4 teams transferred in as 5% and same for out.

Thanks mate that is a really useful insight. I'll have a look at the code again with that in mind and hopefully work something out!

TheSetMiner

Update: I believe I have fixed the bug with the transfers in/out section thanks to shedite who pointed out where my code was breaking down! An extra line or two of code was all that was needed in the end and I can't figure out why that wasn't needed last season! Anyway I am hopeful this is the problem fixed and I have updated the extension on the store. It may take a couple of hours for this to come into effect and it will update automatically. You shouldn't need to uninstall and reinstall though that may update it quicker - I'm not sure. Thanks to all who have been in touch and who have motivated me to get back to work on the extension!

Fair play for the effort. It's a very useful add-on. Thanks for the work!

If I remember correctly you made this app available for us during the season last year. So maybe there just was no team with no transfers in all the leagues we all were in.


Anyway as many said here fair play for the effort for this interesting and useful add-on .

Quick question on this. The average team value stat refers to what? (a) total team value including bank or (b) total current value of players excluding bank.

Ran it on my main mini league and it gave 100m on Team Value Average and 1.1 bank average. Quite low especially if (a) above.

That would refer to (b), excluding bank. I have no reason to believe it is inaccurate but let me know if you suspect there might be a bug and I'll work on it.

TheSetMiner

If anyone has any suggested features for the extension please let me know here. I think it covers most of the important stats but maybe I'm missing something. If there are some good ideas, I will try to find the time to implement a couple.

FHFC

Thanks set miner. Not questioning the figures at all, expected the figures to be low given the price rise situation this year. That's why I wanted to know what the figure was.

Its harder to gain value this year and easy to lose it if you are not on the ball. Unlike many I think it will still be quite an advantage this year, although the numbers will be smaller.

I'd imagine it would be unfeasibly complicated to extract people's resale values in the app?

What do you mean by resale values?

See the Team Value thread. The value of people's team less the transfer 'tax' they lose if they sell their players. It's the true indicator of what you can buy with your team value. For example my team value is 102.1m but if i sold all my players it would only be 100.8m

My Differential FPL app give me a sell value figure for me, but not for other players, I'd expect if would be too hard to extract for an app like yours unless you can pull info from the Stats View page on people's transfers view.

Ah, I know what you mean. It's certainly possible but it would require a fair bit of coding I think and probably would slow the current extenion down a considerable amount. Nonetheless I will consider it for future updates or perhaps for a new seperate FPL extension which I am considering making.

To be honest it's probably not worth the effort. While it's interesting to know if your resale team value is much ahead of the rest of your league, its probably something more relevant to an individual rival. And you can figure that out longhand if you really want to.

Have only got round to using the app this year today so will see if any more useful tweaks spring to mind!!

One thing I'd love to see is a lit of transfers by team for the gameweek. So for example.....
Team A; Mata out; Di Maria In
Team B; Debucy out; Chambers In
etc

Wuld be easy to see at a glance on a SAturday midday who has done what to their teams.

I dont think it's possible to do this as the transfer price data(buy price and sell price) you would need to pull down is not listed on the event history page(it's on the transfer page) which I think is the page you are using to pull down all the data.

Differential FPL Android app gives you this for any player you have checked as a rival. Very very handy indeed.

Yeah I love the way you can set everyone in your league as a rival on that app.

I have all the FSA Premier League checked as rivals.

It normally gives this info as soon as the game has updated at 12.30. The reason the time is last Monday is that I had to reboot my phone last week so I only got around to re-checking yis all on Monday there.

Are those the transfers he made this week??? as in the ones you can't normally find out about until after the GW deadline on Saturday!?

While it does involve pulling data from a different page it's not impossible. I could, in theory, get the list of players on a team and then get the sell value for each player on the FPL api pages like this http://fantasy.premierleague.com/web/api/elements/180/

But yeah, a lot of effort for one statistic.

No. That's what I was trying to explain above. Usually your rival's transfers come up on your news ticker when the game has updated just after the gw deadline. I had to reinstall the app last week so when I added the lads as rivals on Monday their transfers from last week updated then.

It also gives you all injury flags, price changes and fixture changes among other things to that ticker.

When you get up in the morning all price changes are there as notifications. Great app.

BTW, I did put up a very lengthy post preseason on how to find out those transfers mind you. strictly for the obsessive stalker types though.
