mbuser   4/2/2013 1:45 PM

Enter and save the default settings for your preferred daily fantasy site

Click "League Settings" in the "Settings" drop-down" menu:

Click the "Quick Settings" button for your site of choice and then "Save Settings":

To get to the daily projections, click "Daily Projections" in the "Rankings" drop-down:

The daily projections page

Show Injuries - display player injuries for selected games/teams
Quest Only - display player injuries for selected games/teams for only questionable players

Apply Ease to Results - qualify player projections with opponent Ease. Daily Ease considers quality of opponent, LH/RH splits, and park factors

Values - projected point value for the day
Stats - individual stats projections
Own - designate players on your current roster
Status - misc. player statuses
Injuries - player injury statuses
Daily $ - player salary for the day
News - recent RotoInfo player notes
Daily Likes - view user opinions of players for the day and add your own

Comparison Column - view/compare cumulative (Totals) or per-game (Per Game) stats for a custom date range
Use Custom Projections - use your Custom Projections instead of Baseball Monster's

Value Type - Total Value and Per Game Value will currently be the same (today's game, based on 2013 projections)

Analysis Source - 2013 Projections are the daily projections. More choices will be added soon: Full season for actuals from the entire season, or actuals for custom date ranges (Past # Days) or game ranges (Past # Games)

Position Filter - limit displayed players to only a certain position or positions

After you click "Get Projections:...

+/x = add or remove a player from your daily roster
Ratio = player projected value divided by daily salary. Use this column to establish the day's best low-salary options, in particular
stat columns (HR, SB, W, SO, ER, IP, etc) = projected individual stats for each scoring category
statV columns (HRV, SBV, WV, SOV, ERV, IPV, etc) = projected individual scoring for each category

Thanks for this walk through. I used this site for basketball which i understood great but I got a few questions were I couldnt see an explenation anywhere. At the top of the daily projections what does these top tabs mean? The basic and common ones are easy to figure out but a few I never heard of. Could somebody explain?

The first set HR-Outs are the projected stats for the player, and the second set HRV-OutsV are the values based on FanDuel's scoring.  The only value you care about is the Value of the players, but these are shown since they determine the Value.  Does that answer your questions?

yes thank you!

Hi,

I know there was an auto price grab for FanDuel on BasketballMonster so that prices showed up sooner. Is it possible to get that for baseball as well?

ken_admin  4/7/2013 8:20 PM

We'll work on that.  I have updated FD for tomorrow though.

under the Analysis source in daily projections, are you going to add the different options other that "2013 projections"? Maybe like basketbal where you can choose past # games or past # days. Thanks

ken_admin  4/10/2013 10:32 AM

Yes, after a couple of weeks into the season, we will add Full Season, Past Games, etc. as an Analysis Source.

ken_admin  4/11/2013 9:01 AM

The Daily Projections now sort by and show the time of the games.  This should make it easier to filter the early or late games.

Do you expect to have DK pricing soon?

#25973  4/16/2013 10:23 AM

FOr some reason, I can`t get the Daily Projection page to appear??

Can Admin fix this??

ken_admin  4/16/2013 10:27 AM

I believe you have two accounts under your email, and you're currently logged in with the one without a membership.  Send me a message if you need to get your other username.

Thanks

#25973  4/16/2013 10:39 AM

I'm not sure I understand.  I have a basketball account account and a baseball account with the same e-mail address.

Do I have 2 baseball accounts????

ken_admin  4/16/2013 11:56 AM

You have two logins both using the same email address. I'll send your a message.

I am not sure if I am posting in the right thread but Draftday postions are wrong in the daily projections. 

For example Victor Martinez has eligibility as C and 1B on Draftday but not in the daily projections.

ken_admin  4/17/2013 7:44 PM

I'll check this.  I'm guessing we're only including the first position for each player.  Thanks for mentioning this.

ken_admin  4/17/2013 8:47 PM

On our DraftDay data feed, they report Martinez as a DH.  I will check with them to see what's up.

chad0001  4/17/2013 10:53 PM

Thanks!

This is all great info. Great job. Just curious on the daily projections, it says opposing pitcher and left right match ups as factors to apply to projection, but it doesn't have a column that has the actual stat in it. It would be great to have a couple extra column stats for those two things next to the home away column. Thanks

ken_admin  4/19/2013 7:15 AM

We are planning on adding a single column showing the plus/minus effects of the selected eases rather than a column for each.  If you needed to see a single factor effect, you could select the one factor.  This would speed up processing on our end since we wouldn't have to recalculate the values for each individual factor.  Either way, we do want to show the changes to values based on factors and also color the matchup based on these effects.

#12633  5/8/2013 10:49 PM

Great work so far. New additions to daily projections are great. I believe it may be time now to add the "analysis source" under value options to display some different, more current, time frame options. Thank you. 

ken_admin  5/10/2013 8:26 AM

We'll have the new Analysis Source options ready for Monday.  You can preview them here.

Having the past # of games/days as an analysis source is TERRIFIC.  The 2013 Projections source is not very helpful for daily leagues and usually misses out on players that are currently on a hot streak, etc.

jaw4527  3/24/2014 3:44 PM

i dont see any of the quick setting options for any of the daily sites when i go to settings. what am i missing?

mbuser   3/24/2014 4:17 PM

This is last season's thread. We are revamping the daily site pages and will reintroduce them towards the end of the current week.

jaw4527  3/24/2014 10:52 PM

ok great thanks for the update
