IRI popularity index
 

Kind of like what I did with BtB, I made a list of the teams and their draft order in each of the FF divisions. The idea is that the better teams will go higher in the drafts, overall, but occasionally, a division will overlook a team, and somebody will get a steal, by drafting a good team quite a bit later then everyone else, or make a bad pick, by overlooking several good teams to draft one lower on the list.

Now, someone might say that if they know a team will do very well, it makes sense to draft it early (a bad pick, as classified above). However, in that case, you should have traded down and gotten a better pick elsewhere, knowing that team would be availible later, so it's still a "bad" pick.

Anyway, the best teams, based on average draft positions are
The full list is in the team popularity tab of the spreadsheet. Personally, those would be my top 10 teams, also, not exactly in that order, but close.

The people who made the best single picks (by drafting a team later then they should have gone:

The difference shows how many spots later the person got the team then average.
And the people who made the worst single team picks

And the people who made the best and worst picks for all three teams:

Finally, I used the sum of all three picks to figure out who is most likely to win each division. The person who made the best picks in a division but with poor draft position may still get beaten by somebody with slightly worse picks, but better draft position.

All of that information is contained for everyone on the person tab of the attached spreadsheet.

Anyway, I had fun making that up, I hope somebody else has fun looking at it. We'll see how it all plays out at IRI.

Cool, lots of information. So I have a good chance with division 1, alright.
