Power Rankings
Power Rankings are published weekly during the regular season and give a better picture of team strength than the standings alone. A manager on a bad-luck streak can still rank highly if he's putting up big numbers.
How the Score Is Calculated
Each manager gets a power score built from three components:
| Component | What It Measures |
|---|---|
| Recent scoring | Average points over the last 3 weeks |
| Season average | Average points across every week this season |
| Record | Head-to-head win percentage |
Each component is scaled from 0 to 100 across the league: the best team in that category gets 100 and the worst gets 0. The commissioner sets how much each component counts (they add up to 100%). The default is 50% recent, 30% season, 20% record. The weights in use are shown at the top of each week's rankings.
So a power score of 100 means best in the league at everything, and 0 means worst at everything. It doesn't mean zero points scored.
Record is head-to-head only. Extra wins and losses from the league median aren't part of the power rankings.
Reading the Rankings Page
Power Rankings shows the most recent published week, with each manager's:
- rank
- record
- this week's result (W/L, score, and opponent)
- recent and season averages
- power score
- blurb, the weekly trash talk
Earlier published weeks are listed below so you can browse back through the season.
Week Page
Click a week to see its full rankings table, with the same columns. Use the arrows at the bottom to step between weeks.
Lineups Page
Click Lineups on a week page to see each manager's lineup for that week:
- Starters and their points.
- Bench players and their points, plus the total points left on the bench.
- A "Left on bench" note when the highest-scoring bench player outscored the lowest-scoring starter. This compares any two positions, so it's a rough guide, not proof of a bad decision.
Blurbs
Blurbs are written by an AI using real stats and the Trash Talk Profiles league members write about each other. The commissioner reviews and edits them before each week is published.
Important Notes
- Rankings are updated automatically from matchup data, but a week only appears once the commissioner publishes it.
- Rankings are not the same as standings. A 4-7 manager who's been scoring well recently can rank above a 7-4 manager who's gone cold.
- Rankings don't affect playoff seeding. That comes from the official Sleeper standings.
