I'm reposting this here (originally posted in the fpl3 daily rankings thread) and I'm currently adding some more interesting stats that I think of.

If anyone would like me to investigate some stats feel free to let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Here's some interesting stats I examined (thanks to Hot_Bid releasing all the team rosters):

Most common player pair (note that these may overlap with each other ie one person having ((Z)sAviOr & (T)Flash) + ((T)Flash & (Z)Jaedong):


1. (Z)sAviOr & (T)Flash (10 pts) - 186
2. (Z)sAviOr & (Z)Jaedong (12 pts) - 130
3. (Z)Jaedong & (T)Flash (18 pts) - 121
3. (P)Stork & (T)Flash (14 pts) - 121
5. (P)Bisu & (T)Flash (17 pts) - 112
6. (Z)sAviOr & (P)Bisu (11 pts) - 108
7. (Z)Luxury & (T)Flash (11 pts) - 104
8. (Z)sAviOr & (P)Stork (8 pts) - 102
9. (T)Flash & (T)BoxeR (9 pts) - 95
10. (Z)sAviOr & (T)BoxeR (3 pts) - 92


Most common player triplet:
1. (T)Flash & (Z)Jaedong & (Z)sAviOr (20 pts) - 55
2. (P)Stork & (T)Flash & (Z)sAviOr (16 pts) - 53
3. (P)Bisu & (Z)sAviOr & (T)Flash (19 pts) - 46
4. (Z)Jaedong & (Z)sAviOr & (T)BoxeR (13 pts) - 39
5. (T)Flash & (T)BoxeR & (Z)sAviOr (11 pts) - 37
6. (T)Flash & (P)JangBi & (Z)sAviOr (17 pts) - 36
7. (T)Flash & (P)Stork & (Z)Luxury (17 pts) - 35
8. (P)Bisu & (T)BoxeR & (Z)sAviOr (13) - 33
9. (T)Flash & (Z)Jaedong & (T)BoxeR (19 pts) - 31
10. (T)Flash & free & (Z)sAviOr (15 pts) - 30

Not too surprising too see most of the names on this list although the (T)Flash/(P)Stork/(Z)Luxury combo seems to be pretty high on this list. I'm surprised Boxer made it this high on the list; it looks like a lot of people were counting on him as a 1 pt player and paired that with a common high pt combo mixing up their middle 3 players. While the player pairs show a lot of similarity in teams it is obvious from the triplets that there is still a lot of variation in teams (mostly from mid point players).

Out of the 943 teams there are 8 individuals pairs of players that have duplicate teams (note this isn't taking into account captains):

8. 4P / 1T / 1Z - 60
9. 1P / 4T / 1Z - 45
10. 1P / 1T / 4Z - 37

or by race preference (percents may not = 100 due to rounding )
Mostly Protoss - 269 (28%)
Mostly Terran - 249 (26%)
Balanced - 221 (23%)
Mostly Zerg - 205 (22%)

[image loading]


Almost even on the race balance, an evenly balanced team with 2 from each race is the most popular most likely due to the trading opportunities and race requirement rule interaction. Unsurprisingly 4 of one race are the least picked options totaling only 142 of the teams; these people probably won't be able to take advantage of most of the trade opportunities arising this round.

874 people chose to use all their points (most likely the best idea) while most of the rest chose in the high 20s for point values the rest where spread around randomly with 2 teams costing nothing (although ironically not copying each other one with ACE and one with KTF in a pool of 6 players and 2 teams with 0 pts).

SKT & ACE show up a lot in the short list of players with only 2 or 1 team(s) represented; ACE is of course easy to grab with a lot of 0 point players (in fact you can make an all ACE team for 0 points). An all SKT team may generate a lot of points from the frequent wins they're expected to get but you probably can't get many points since SKT's wins will most likely come from just a few players.

The general consesus seems to be that more teams represented is better (although only 50 people represent the maximum allowed teams of 7); this is probably mostly due to the all-kill format encouraging picking players on teams that will see a lot of play time and a good amount of wins.

Points spent on players per team:
1. KTF - 4308
2. SKT - 3919
3. KHAN - 3718
4. Lecaf - 3335
5. CJ - 2644
6. STX - 2382
7. Woongjin - 1589
8. MBC - 1095
9. OGN - 1074
10. eSTRO - 810
11. WeMade - 482
12. ACE - 320

Average points spent on players by team:
1. Lecaf - 7.83
2. KHAN - 6.18
3. KTF - 5.62
4. SKT - 5.27
5. Woongjin - 4.31
6. MBC - 3.79
7. OGN - 3.78
8. STX - 3.59
9. eSTRO - 3.42
10. WeMade - 3.19
11. CJ - 3.24
12. ACE - 1.00

KTF the least expensive team (tied with ACE) has seen the most points spent to aquire their players above SKT with a majority of those KTF points most likely coming from Flash & Luxury while SKT points mostly coming from Best & Bisu. I would have expected people to spend more points aquiring players from SKT due to the expectation that they will dominate in this format.

Points spent on players by Race:
Protoss - 9137
Terran - 9024
Zerg - 7515

Average points spent on players by Race:
Terran - 4.73
Protoss - 4.70
Zerg - 4.15

Players seem to be spending the most points grabbing the Terran & Protoss players with the currently slumping zergs costing less or not drawing as much attention.

The following is a duplicate of info posted in my KTF or not blog post
+ Show Spoiler [KTF or not blog post] +

Frequency distribution of the sum of each teams players pts squared:
This is designed to show whether teams are buying lots of average players or focusing on several very high cost players. Low values are teams that have a lot of cheap/average players and not many or no high cost players (the couple of 0pt teams are still 0 when squaring pt values so they're the anomalies at the low end); high values represent teams with a lot of high point cost players.
Example calculation using my team:
+ Show Spoiler +

(9) (P)Bisu - 81
(6) (P)Stork - 36
(8) (T)Flash - 64
(4) (Z)Calm - 16
(2) (Z)sAviOr - 4
(1) (T)RuBy - 1
Total: 202

[image loading]


For reference my team is slightly on the high end of what the average fantasy player picked with Bisu, Flash, and Stork being my 3 high cost players. The second spike around 200 is probably caused by all the players that picked KTF having extra points to spend on more expensive players. For reference here are some teams covering several calculated values:

DrywMz(140) (Z)EffOrt/(Z)July/free/(T)sKyHigh/(Z)sAviOr/(T)RuBy/STX SouL
GTR-2-Go(170) (P)Horang2/(P)JangBi/(T)fOrGG/(T)Sea/(Z)July/(Z)Luxury/KTF MagicNs
Abydos1(202) (P)Bisu/(P)Stork/(T)Flash/(Z)Calm/(Z)sAviOr/(T)RuBy/KTF MagicNs
keit(250) (T)Leta/(P)Bisu/(Z)by.hero/(Z)hyvaa/(Z)sAviOr/(P)Horang2/KTF MagicNs
Kennigit(308) (T)Leta/(Z)Jaedong/(T)Flash/(T)ClouD/(P)DaezanG/(P)Reach/KTF MagicNs

And for the curious here's where intrigues insane team building skill stands:
Intrigue(212) (P)Bisu/Best/(P)Stork/(T)iloveoov/(P)GuemChi/(Z)Luxury/KTF MagicNs

From a quick glance the 250 spike is most likely from people picking Leta (he totals 144 by himself). My guess is the 200 spike is where most of the top scorers will end up having KTF, several high cost dependable players, and some cheap but productive players to round out the teams.

[image loading]


This graph is the same but broken down into teams with KTF(red) and teams that didn't pick KTF(blue). Clearly obvious from this graph is the fact that all KTF owners were able to afford more expensive players and while the shapes are similar KTF owners had a tendency to favor more higher point players as evidenced by the spike at 250 and the large spikes around 210. Higher point players are going to most likely generate the largest point totals with high win streaks and the occasional all-kill; I believe this round is going to favor teams with high point cost reliable players and productive low cost players and this should clearly favor KTF owners. With the high amount of points being generated by players on a daily basis (8+ with win streaks) the difference in points generated by a players team pick just don't make it worth picking any team over KTF this round; maximum points generated by a team going 4-0 in all its matches is 55, this is not going to happen and a more likely total for teams is in the 20-30 point range.

Most Common Player pairs for KTF owners:
1. (T)Flash & (Z)sAviOr -108
2. (T)Flash & (Z)Jaedong - 105
3. (T)Flash & (P)Stork - 82
4. (Z)Jaedong & (Z)sAviOr - 75
5. (P)Bisu & (T)Flash - 73
6. (T)Flash & (Z)Luxury - 69
7. (T)Flash & free - 55
8. (T)Flash & (P)JangBi - 53
9. (Z)by.hero & (T)Flash - 50
10. (P)Bisu & (Z)sAviOr - 47

Most Common Player pairs for non-KTF owners:
1. (T)Flash & (Z)sAviOr - 78
2. (T)BoxeR & (Z)sAviOr - 70
3. (P)Bisu & (Z)sAviOr - 61
4. (Z)sAviOr & (P)Stork - 57
5. (Z)Jaedong & (Z)sAviOr - 55
6. (T)BoxeR & (T)Flash - 49
7. (P)Bisu & (T)BoxeR - 46
8. (T)BoxeR & (Z)Jaedong - 42
8. (P)JangBi & (Z)sAviOr - 42
10. (Z)sAviOr & (T)sKyHigh - 41

Upon examination of the most common player pairs for KTF and non-KTF owners is clear that KTF owners are favoring a high cost pair such as (T)Flash & (Z)Jaedong while all of the most common pairs for non-KTF owners contain either the cheap (Z)sAviOr or (T)BoxeR; those teams are going to be hinging more on the performance of all of their low cost players which is going to be harder to guarantee than with a couple high point cost players.

Most common player triplets for KTF owners:
1. (T)Flash & (Z)Jaedong & (Z)sAviOr - 50
2. (T)Flash & (Z)sAviOr & (P)Stork - 33
3. (P)Bisu & (T)Flash & (Z)sAviOr - 30
4. (T)BoxeR & (T)Flash & (Z)Jaedong - 28
5. (T)Flash & (Z)Jaedong & (Z)Luxury - 23
5. (T)Flash & (Z)Luxury & (P)Stork - 23
5. (Z)by.hero & (T)Flash & (Z)Jaedong - 23
5. (T)Flash & (P)JangBi & (Z)sAviOr - 23
9. (T)Flash & free & (Z)sAviOr - 20
9. (P)Bisu & (T)Flash & (Z)Jaedong - 20
9. (T)Flash & (Z)Jaedong & (P)Stork - 20
9. (T)Flash & free & (Z)Luxury - 20

Most common player triplets for non-KTF owners:
1. (T)BoxeR & (T)Flash & (Z)sAviOr - 23
1. (T)BoxeR & (Z)Jaedong & (Z)sAviOr - 23
1. (P)Bisu & (T)BoxeR & (Z)sAviOr - 23
4. (T)Flash & (Z)sAviOr & (P)Stork - 20
5. (P)Bisu & (T)BoxeR & (T)Flash - 16
5. (P)Bisu & (T)Flash & (Z)sAviOr - 16
7. (T)BoxeR & (Z)sAviOr & (P)Stork - 15
8. (T)BoxeR & (T)iloveoov & (Z)sAviOr - 14
8. (Z)Luxury & (Z)sAviOr & (P)Stork - 14
10. (T)Flash & (P)JangBi & (Z)sAviOr - 13
10. (T)Flash & (T)NaDa & (Z)sAviOr - 13

Again this is showing the differences between KTF owners and non-KTF owners most of the common triplets for non-KTF owners feature (Z)sAviOr and (T)BoxeR two cheap players or two medium/high cost players with a cheap player while in the KTF owners rankings we can see a lot more high rank players and a lot more picks of (Z)Jaedong.

Most common players on KTF owners teams:
1. (T)Flash - 263
2. (Z)Jaedong - 155
3. (Z)sAviOr - 150
4. (P)Bisu - 124
5. (P)Stork - 115
6. free - 97

8. (P)JangBi - 90

Again, this is just showing that non-KTF owners are relying more on their cheap players as evidenced by the huge prevelence of teams with (Z)sAviOr (41% of teams). Due to all of these factors we shouldn't be seeing many non-KTF owners in the run for first place with those near the top being people who's cheap picks all payed off for them.

Differences in prefered players between KTF and non-KTF owners:
With the extra points who did KTF owners pick more than non-KTF owners?
With less points to work with who where the cheap players non-KTF owners are counting on to score big this round.

Top 5 players picked more frequently by KTF owners:

#1 - (T)Flash - 67.96%/31.60%
Picked more than twice as often by KTF owners as non-KTF owners people looked to (T)Flash as their leading point scorer, combined with KTF to get even more points when (T)Flash helps the team to victory.

#2 - (Z)Jaedong 40.05%/22.80%
Yet another expensive player picked twice as often by KTF owners; the very expensive (Z)Jaedong (10 pts) would take a big chunk out of any non-KTF owners teams while KTF owners had the extra 4/5 points to work with allowing them to make this big pick.

#3 - (P)Stork 29.72%/22.08%
At only 6 points the top Protoss in this list is the cheaper (P)Stork, surprisingly more favored by KTF owners than (P)Bisu or Best the SKT top protoss pair with (P)Bisu seeing higher picks than (P)Stork more KTF owners are leaning towards (P)Stork as a mid level player.

#4 - (P)JangBi 23.26%/16.70%
(P)JangBi at 7 points is yet another high level protoss player picked more often by KTF owners.

#5 - (P)Bisu 32.04%/27.11%
Rounding of the top 5 is (P)Bisu only picked by 5% more players with KTF; a popular choice among both teams as one of their expensive picks.

Top 5 players picked more frequently by non-KTF owners:

#1 - (T)BoxeR 26.39%/16.80%
At the top of this list is a 1-point player (T)BoxeR clearly showing the difference between KTF and non-KTF owners; non-KTF owners are looking for those cheap picks that could pay off big for them but are more riskier than the high end players like (T)Flash & (Z)Jaedong.

#2 - (T)NaDa 13.82%/5.17%
Another cheap Terran at 3-points non-KTF owners are looking for those cheap picks.

#3 - (T)UpMagiC 14.18%/8.79%
While only picked by 103 teams this 4-point Terran was picked almost twice as much by non-KTF owners hoping for a good mid level player to round off their teams.

#4 - (P)BackHo 7.18%/1.81%
While only picked a total of 47 times apparently non-KTF owners were looking for the cheap (currently injured) (P)BackHo to make it back into playing form by the end of this round and score them some points.

#5 - (T)sKyHigh 17.06%/12.14%
The fourth Terran player on this list, the 5-point (T)sKyHigh is another mid level player more non-KTF owners are relying on to help outproduce the powerhouses in this format.

+ Show Spoiler [List of common players] +

[image loading]

Green > 5% difference
Red > -5% difference
Positive difference mean more KTF owners picked them.


These rankings show the clear divide in this rounds fantasy proleague rosters with KTF owners picking more expensive players relying on their huge potential in this all-kill format to carry their team while non-KTF owners are looking for the cheap steals that might just make it big this round. Yet again this should lead to more KTF owners on the top of the scoreboard but it may pay off for that lucky person or two who picked just the right combination of players.


Top 10 picks that people think are worth more than their point value:
1. (T)BoxeR (1pt) - 212
2. (Z)by.hero (1pt) - 181
3. (Z)sAviOr (2pts) - 381
4. (P)Tazza (1pt) - 57
5. (T)RuBy (1pt) - 39
6. (P)GuemChi (1pt) - 30

+ Show Spoiler [How the calculation was done] +
I ranked everyone based on # of picks / pts^2; I squared the points to have a higher preference for cheap players (and even with that Flash is pretty high up on the list)


At the top of this list we find (T)BoxeR, returning from his less than desirable performance while in the Air Force people are expecting him to get back up to shape quickly with the increased practice time. Next we find (Z)by.hero boosted by his recent defeat of + Show Spoiler +
Bisu
catupulting him to the #2 spot on this list. At #3 we find (Z)sAviOr who has been slumping lately but people clearly expect him to turn around and win a lot of games in this new all-kill format. Already proving themselves useful are (P)GuemChi, (Z)Luxury, and (T)iloveoov having great first days and possibly even paying for themselves already. High point players making it near the top of this list are (P)free at #26, (T)Flash at #31, and (P)Stork at #32.

Note that the 0 point players were excluded from this list.

Not a big surprise is the concentration on the top players of each team since they'll be the ones seeing the most playing time and getting the large win streaks. Some oddities are (Z)sAviOr being the #1 pick from CJ, picked twice as often as (T)sKyHigh (the #2 pick) players are obviously counting on (Z)sAviOr performing well in this format and being worth the 2 points to pick him up. The currently injured (P)BackHo is the #2 pick from Lecaf surprisingly just edging out (T)fOrGG for the spot. The most expensive player (T)Leta is 4th picked on OGN, clearly not a favorite of players due to his high cost although he is performing well so far this round. The KHAN favorite is (P)Stork over his more expensive teammate (P)JangBi. SKT sees (T)BoxeR rank second far above (P)BeSt with players favoring (P)Bisu over the equally priced (P)BeSt. STX Soul has a large variety in its picked players with (Z)by.hero leading the pack after his recent defeat of + Show Spoiler +
(P)Bisu
. WeMade FOX has only one notable pick with (T)NaDa showing up on 97 teams.

Updated with the top picks from each team; not many surprises but still an interesting look into people's mindsets going into this all-kill round. Also added some additional graphs.

I'm glad people are finding this stuff as interesting as I am; please leave a comment if that is the case and feel free to post your own thoughts on any of these statistics.

nice job, i love looking at stuff like this

once week 1 is over you should do projected scoring/cost ratios, first figure out what the average player score will be (like 20-30 or something) then project out who will have the most points relative to their cost

i'd love to see that

Good idea, I'd like to do some more stuff like that as the round develops; I've already done a couple things and created a thread for ongoing discussion here http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=86363
As for now about the only thing worth looking at has been team compositions

That'll make it much easier to know who to pick for the next round of Fantasy Fantasy Proleague... and to get an idea of where my regular Fantasy team stands.
