Mimic the Rotogrinders Daily Matchups chart

[dmaclean]

I have all the data necessary to make this happen. It's a good tool (which is why it's premium content), so making my own shouldn't be terribly difficult.

The columns are:

• PLAYER
• Pos
• Tm
• Opp
• Salary
• $Rk - How the player's salary ranks amongst other players at that position (1 is most expensive)
• MPG
• AvgFP - Average of Players FPPG for the season and FPPG for the last 7 days
• FP/Min - Fantasy points per minute
• Avg-DvP - Average Defense vs Position FPPG-A
• DvP-Diff - Percentage difference between opponent vs. position and league average in terms of Fantasy Points Allowed Per Game
• Wtd-FP - Weighted Fantasy Points – Player Fantasy Points Per Game * Opponent DvP Differential Percentage
• Wtd-$/Pt - Weighted Fantasy Points / Player Salary – A lower $/pt value implies better value

This came up on a google search. Great idea. We're you ever able to duplicate the daily matchup chart? I would love to know the degree of difficulty to this.

I'm working on it when I have spare time, but it's not ready yet. Right now I'm trying to finish up porting the data source from MySQL to MongoDB. Once that's done I'll move back to this.

Generating the chart itself shouldn't be too hard. The majority of the difficulty is acquiring data, and that part (aside from any bugs) is done.
