New Projection Pal Download

[Mike MacGregor 20]

If you downloaded Projection Pal before this morning, then please return to the member download page and download it again, overwriting your old copy. I noticed an error while I was playing around with it this morning that impacted all positions except QB. Sorry for the oversight.

If I'm only going to user fftoday and my own edits in lieu of a Site B, do I even need projection pal?

Nope. Completely optional feature built solely to help pull data from other websites.

Love CC/DB, but haven't matured enough to recommend it to guys in my league. This will be my 3rd year year, and while the last 2 years I have attempted Projection Pal...it became very tedious and a downright headache. Any chance you can provide a head start? The formatting needed to import data is the real headache. I'm not sure you can officially provide site(s) information pre-formatted, but any help would be appreciated.

 

Or if any other posters have this figured out, please share the wealth. I would just like a reference sites or two for comparison. i know most sites deal in lists, and rarely post projections...that is what mags are for.

 

Thanks, and again the product is great. Money well spent.

Hey mggoilers. Welcome back! Let me see if I can find a good example of some data where can use Projection Pal to pull it into the Compiler.

I've managed to copy in Footballguys.com's projections if that helps??

That was helpful Mike, Thks.. Been playing around with this today and was able to figure out some of my questions but....

 

If you only input rankings/notes for "C" and you have actual projections for "B" and use 33.3% for each is that good data? Or should you have projections for "C"?

 

A few observations: Make sure you check your "clean Data" for NA's(error) some names need to be changed so they can match up (I assume) IE a players name which has a team/position after it. Steve Smith, Roy Williams, Alex Smith ETC. Donte Stalledworth is another because of the `.. You have to tab after entering the URL before you click "New Query".

 

If you use "custom1"in both B and C the last one you imported will show? It would be nice if we could change "Custom 2"to "somesite rankings" Guess I have a hard time remembering

 

I'm more impressed every year Mike

Hi NED. Thanks! Some comments on your comments:

 

The Site B and Site C indicator on the setup tab in Pal only applies to player projections. To be clear, you'll be sending data to the Compiler in any one or more of the following sections:

 

- Site B projections

- Site C projections

- Custom field 1

- Custom field 2

- Custom field 3

- Player notes (user)

 

So, if you imported projections in B but no projections in C, then your allocation should not have anything (any portion of 100%) directed to Site C.

 

The custom fields and player notes are not connected to the projections or how the Compiler ranks the players in anyway, so there is nothing in the allocation keys related to custom fields or notes. Data put in these sections will only be there for reference.

 

When you Copy to Compiler, Pal should pick up most of the names and convert them so the Compiler recognizes them (i.e. Alex Smith becomes Alex Smith (QB) or Alex Smith (TE) in the Compiler world).

 

The 2 cases where it becomes dicey are Adrian Peterson and Steve Smith. Because the same name player plays the same position for both of these pairs, Pal can't know which one we are referring to. The best way to combat this is after you import your data into Pal's raw tab, manually change these names to one of:

 

Adrian Peterson (MIN)

Adrian Peterson (CHI)

Steve Smith (CAR)

Steve Smith (NYG)

 

Finally, you can label the custom columns. All you have to do is go to the setup tab in the Compiler, scroll down and you'll see a small box where you can change the heading from Custom 1, 2 or 3 to whatever you like. It will flow through the rest of the Compiler so you always know what you are looking at

Mike,

 

I inputed stats into Site B but I don't have all of the stats that CC has catagories for (Fumbles lost, 300 (100) yard games etc). So when I run Compile some of the projections are 1/2 of what you (other Mike) have them at. I realize that it must be taking a 0 from Site B colomns that I don't have projections and doing the math. Guess I was wondering what could be done so your projections, in full, could be used in those situations.

 

TIA

Do you use those categories in your scoring NED? If no, then it really shouldn't impact anything. I'm assuming yes, otherwise you wouldn't ask. What you can do is copy the FF Today projections for those categories for all players (highlight all the data in the column, CTRL-C), and then paste it under the same column heading for Site B (click cell, CTRL-V).

 

A bit of inconsistency there mixing up projections from different sources, but if your Site B source doesn't provide them (and you need them) then I think this is the best compromise.
