Analysis, not standings

Luck

A fantasy schedule is drawn at random, so you can score the second highest total in the league and still lose. These two tables take the draw out of it: they count every week against everybody who played it, and against the middle score of it, and put the result beside what actually happened.

Luck is that record subtracted from the real one: a plus means you have won more than your scoring earned, a minus means less. Expected is the wins the all-play rate would have given you over the same number of games, and Combined is the median record added to the real one.

This league does not score median matchups. The combined record is what the table would say if it did. It is here to be argued about, it is not a standing, and it is not what any of these seasons was decided on.

Regular season games only, every season since 2022. A playoff opponent is earned rather than drawn, so measuring the luck of that draw would measure nothing. Each week's median is taken over the teams that actually played it.
