Perfect League for Stats & Analytics Lovers

[TheMathNinja 0]

The Analytics Fantasy League is looking for dedicated owners to fill two franchise vacancies for the 2016 NFL season. We are a statistically-minded, 32-team NFL-like redraft fantasy league modeled to simulate real NFL team management. The AFL is a full-IDP money league with an analytics-based scoring system that creates for NFL-like player valuations. The format's target fantasy player is the competitive, active fantasy football addict who wants a more realistic fantasy football experience.

 

The AFL was featured on RotoViz's "The Numbers Game Podcast" on July 16, 2015 because of our innovative approach to a more realistic fantasy football format. Find the discussion here.
