That’s right, the GMTR player rater is back for its third season. New, improved, and still in all its Google spreadsheets glory. You may have noticed the new link underneath the logo (thanks Nels).
Unlike last season, I’ve combined the 8 and 9 category ratings onto a single sheet (with color codes!), hopefully simplifying things while making it easier to compare how player value changes depending on how many categories your league uses. Since like 90%+ of the leagues out there are 8 or 9-cat leagues, this rater coves the majority of the leagues out there.
The rater is my little baby and it goes back to a time before I was blogging. I wasn’t satisfied with the “cheat sheets†that were available on the web at the time, so I would create these player ratings for myself to use during a draft as a way to give myself the upper hand over my fellow managers. It seemed to work pretty well, so not only did I keep doing it year after year, but when I started blogging about this crazy game, I decided to put my calculations up for anyone to take a look at. Now, of course, we’ve got things like Basketball Monster, which can show you player ratings for any league type, size, and scoring setup. However, I still like to calculate my own ratings because 1) I get to use the correct mathematical assumptions/formulas (i.e., mine), 2) I can use it to conduct tests (like how valuable will JR Smith be without AI), and 3) it’s cool to have your own ratings.
