As a fantasy hockey enthusiast, I’ve always wondered how to compare the value of skaters and goalies in my league. With 11 skaters and 2 goalies on each team, it’s not as simple as comparing their stats directly. That’s because skaters account for 12 categories, while goalies account for 7 categories. To make things more complicated, each category is weighted evenly.
Recently, I stumbled upon the concept of z-scores, which can help determine the value of players in my fantasy hockey league. However, I realized that I needed to create a multiplier to make the stats comparable between skaters and goalies. But how?
After some research, I came across a possible solution. What if I calculated the ratio of categories each type of player affects, and then multiplied their z-scores by these factors? For skaters, it would be (12/19) / (11/13) = 0.746411. For goalies, it would be (7/19) / (2/13) = 2.394737.
But does this approach make sense? Is it really that simple? I’ve been struggling to figure out if this is the correct way to level the playing field between skaters and goalies. If you’re a statistics expert or a fellow fantasy hockey enthusiast, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
In the end, the goal is to create a fair and accurate way to compare the value of skaters and goalies in fantasy hockey. With the right approach, we can make more informed decisions and dominate our fantasy leagues.
