Abstract: A system and method calculates discounted projected values (DPVs) of players of a fantasy sports league. Weighted average logic receives prior season value based drafting (VBD) values corresponding to athletes of a first position. The weighted average logic calculates weighted VBD values of players of the first position based, at least in part, on the two or more seasons of prior VBD values. A curved line fit logic configured to fit the weighted VBD values to a curved line. A projected value (PV) logic calculates new PVs of players of the first position based, at least in part, on the curved line. Discount PV logic creates discounted PVs (DPVs) of the first position players by subtracting a constant value from each new PV. The DPVs provide a draft selection guide that is an indication of future performance of athletes in the first player position relative to other player position types.

Abstract: In a system and method to facilitate the evaluation and selection of players to be used for collective scoring in a fantasy environment of competing groups sports players can be evaluated for inclusion to a fantasy sports roster by evaluating past and projected performance statistics to maximize a team manager's opportunity to defeat other teams based on the particular scoring system employed by a fantasy sports league.
