What is CVP?

Here is the math behind the CVP chart:

First I figured out the average minimum score for 50/50’s by looking at nearly a year’s worth of my 50/50 games. That number was about 270 (272 to be exact).

I took that 272 and divided it into $60,000, which equals 220. So to achieve a score of 272 on a salary of $60,000 all your players must average $220 per point.

Example: Player A is $5,500. So the minimum amount of points you need him to score to be worth what you paid is 25, or $5,500/220=25.

That 25 points is what I call a player’s Baseline.

I then use that baseline to determine how a player has been performing by taking his Fantasy Points Per Game (FPPG) over his last five games and subtracting it from his baseline number.

Example 1: Player A is $5,500. So his Baseline is 25 FPPG. Over his last five games, Player A has averaged 30 FPPG. That makes his CVP (cost versus production) a +5. Which means over his last five games he has exceeded his value by 5 points.

Example 2: Player B is $10,000. So his Baseline is 45.5. Over his last five games, Player B has averaged 40.5 FPPG. That makes his CVP a (-5). Which mean over his last five games he has underperformed based on his current salary.

This chart is better used for finding Cash Game players and not GPP players, but it can also help you find players that have been playing well lately, but who’s price on fanduel has not caught up to them yet. Or Vise Versa.

I’m going to try to do this chart for all the “large” slates, and I will put it out the night before so you have plenty of time to look over it.
