The main function of the package - uses bootstrap resampling to run fantasy football season simulations supported by historical rankings and nflfastR data, calculating optimal lineups, and returns aggregated results.
Arguments
- conn
an connection to a league made with
ff_connect()and friends (required)- n_seasons
number of seasons to simulate, default = 100
- n_weeks
number of weeks per season, default = 14
- best_ball
a logical: are weekly wins based on optimal lineups?
- seed
an integer to control reproducibility
- gp_model
select between "simple", "none" to apply a model for whether a player played in a given game, defaults to "simple"
- base_seasons
a numeric vector that selects seasons as base data, earliest available is 2012
- actual_schedule
a logical: use actual ff_schedule? default is FALSE
- replacement_level
a logical: use best available on waiver as replacement level? defaults to TRUE
- pos_filter
a character vector of positions to filter/run, default is c("QB","RB","WR","TE","K")
- verbose
a logical: print status messages? default is TRUE, configure with options(ffsimulator.verbose)
- return
one of c("default", "all") - what objects to return in the output list
Value
an ff_simulation object which can be passed to plot() and contains the output data from the simulation.
