How It Calculates
The calculator uses a combination of the player’s average points, the game total points, the game spread, the player’s salary, ownership percentage, and volatility to give an estimated points value. The calculation is based on hypothetical multipliers factoring in the volatility and ownership to provide an estimate of the points the player can potentially score considering the variability and other supplied factors.
Limitations
While this calculator aims to provide an estimate based on multiple factors, the actual performance of the player can vary greatly due to unforeseen circumstances. Factors such as player injury, last-minute changes in the game, and environmental factors are not accounted for in this calculator. Therefore, the estimated points should be used as a guideline and not a certainty.
