% owned and started

Post by Sheep » Tue Apr 29, 2008 4:28 am

I have some players in the Main and also in Satellites and see that the Percentage owned and started differ. Am I correct in assuming the Main teams are based on the 30 leagues that ADP was based on - 26 main, 2 super and two Ult, while the others are based on all the mixed NFBC leagues. A couple noticable differences (+10%)- Soriano (RP) was started a higher % in main and Bonderman started more in Sat's.

Can I piggy back this question?



Is the % started based on the totaled OWNED or on the entire league?



That is, if someone is owned by 60% and starts 30%, is that 30% of the 60% that own him or 30% of the entire sample?



Not a crucial point in decision making, but I wondered.

For the "Main", there appears to be 31 leagues in the pool, and all the rest should be accounted for when you see the Satellite numbers.



Atlas, from the way I understand it, if a player is owned by all 31 leagues, he would show up as "100.0% Owned". If that same player was started in 30 out of the 31 leagues, he would show up as "96.8% Started".



If a player was owned in 29 out of 31 leagues, he would show ups as "93.5% Owned". If all 29 leagues where the player was owned started him, he would show as "93.5% Started" as well.





So both appear to be calculated based on percent owned (PO) or percent started (PS) divided by total available leagues (31)....PO/31 or PS/31.



"% Started" should never be a higher number that "% Owned".

I noticed that, too -- the percentages seem to indicate 31 leagues. This begs the question: which league is #31? (assuming 26 main + 2 super + 2 ultimate).
