Hey guys is there going to be another update with the 2013 projections? If so does anyone know when that will happen. Thank you for the spreadsheet. It looks amazing

And I’ve noticed in the spring when trying to add new players for fantasy baseball it keeps crossing out my writing. How do I turn this off without completely screwing up the auto-updating?

This inspired me to do a similar idea except for fantasy football. It’s a much more basic spreadsheet, but I like the gray cells on the dashboard below some of the columns. As hard as I tried I can’t get it to do what I want…and obviously you didn’t just change the color and add the strikeout effect, because in yours the cells have the same yellow color as those above. Could you possibly explain how you did this?

Awesome job on the projections.

Can you update the projections for Sean Marshall, given that he will be the new Reds closer (or is expected to share this duty).

Thanks

@JD, Is there any way I could get a copy as well? I can’t assign anyone to teams 13 or 14. Thank you!

I have a 13 team league, where can I change the formula to allow the 13th team to show up in the pull down menu under the “players tab”? Thanks

@wallywojo, I am trying to make this work with my 12 team auction league. I have added a 12th team but in the drop down on the player pages it only comes up with 10 teams. Would you be so kind to let me know what I need to change to get that part to work? THanks!

Does anyone know where the setting is for the strikethroughs, I’m still getting the strikethroughs coming one column below the player they should be for OFs. Thanks.

@Richard Kenno,

On the “Players” tab, start in cell C3 next to Braun and find the Data Validation command in your toolbar. Once you are there, you have to set the source data to from =$AY$1:$AY$12 to =$AY$1:$AY$14.

You’ll have to then copy that formulas all the way down the Owner column and then repeat the same process for pitchers.

Hope this helps.

Guys,
Fantastic sheet, the only thing I am struggling with is that on the dashboard when a player is drafted the team name appears beside the proper player but for OF’s only the next player down gets crossed out rather than the player selected. It only happens for OF’s, the rest of the columns work correctly. Anyone know how to fix? Email me at mdickie15@hotmail.com if you have the fix. Thanks.

@wallywojo, Im trying to make this work with 12 teams. Ive added 2 more teams on the input page but I still cant add players to 11 or 12 and it doesnt show 12 teams on the team page. What am I doing wrong? Again, your help is greatly appreciated!!!

@Zachary Neugut, +1 Im interested too!

Im trying to figure out how to fix the values. I thought they were going to be point shares but I have a 12 team essentially yahoo settings auction league and the values are way low. $40 for Braun rather than $45 for instance on the 160/100 plan.

I readily admit that I suck at excel but is there a way to get those point shares values into the spreadsheet without manually altering each and every one?

Thanks again for the war room. It is sweet!

Thank you guys for taking the time to put this together. I look forward to utilizing it in my upcoming drafts.

For those wanting this, that, and the other thing: each league is unique, so you’re best off customizing it to fit your needs.

@Lava,

Thanks man, I would have never figured this out and the draft is just a few days away

@jay,
I use the CTL F button to search for players. It will pop up a search box.

Can we get an updated War room with all the bugs fixed? This is great, but I’m not excel savvy enough to perform the fixes on my own (I’ve tried… and sadly failed).

My issues are that I can’t get the names to cross off the player lists consistently and I can’t get the bidding column for my hitters to populate correctly in the war room. Thanks!

Do you have an NL only excel doc?

By: Zachary Neugut

Zachary Neugut — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 14:30:24 +0000

I havent read the comments so i dont know if someone asked, but i was wondering is there anyway to change the rankings based on the projected amount of win shares by the projected stats? Also, is there any way to change the money worth of each player based on the worth of those projected win shares over a replacement player? And lastly, does anyone know what the goal statistics should be in a ten person league?

And thank you so much for making this, it’s awesome.

Please ignore my earlier comment 10 minutes ago. I just found Lava’s instructions and used them and they work fine. Thanks for the work and putting out a useful tool.

@Steve-O, sure, you will need to add the category on the player data sheets (Hitters, Pitchers), probably add those categories to the information box below player to draft on the dashboard, and the war room sheet. The War Room Sheet will be the most complicated as there are multiple places where additions need to be made and you will have to make a lot of formatting changes to make it look nice with the borders and coloring. The one thing i pointed out above for a similar question is to be mindful of hidden columns. When you start to make these mods just save as a copy the original in the event your warroom is not calculating things correctly you can just go back and correct the top most entries in each box and fill down. I’ve found that it really is a clean sheet meant for easy modification.

@eightysixants,
That should be easy to add, but one thing you have to be aware (I learned after making additions the hard way) of when making modifications on the war room sheet is hidden columns. As long as you are mindful of that it will not be an issue.

I am trying to do the spreadsheet for 14 teams. I have added two extra lines and teams on the hitting and pitching category ranking matrix on the War Room worksheet and expanded the data retrieved, (e.g. m$73:m$84 to m$73:m$86) for the ten categories and 14 teams. However the dropdown or popup when selecting an owner for a given player on the Players worksheet only shows the first 12 teams. What do I need to do to show all 14 teams on the dropdown?

Thanks.
