Insights
Two questions. What is happening inside this league, and what is happening out there that nobody has spotted yet.
Part one
Inside the league
How the 10 of you have actually played — separating the coaches who got their decisions right from the ones the fixture list was kind to.
Lineup efficiency
Every week, the best nine players on your roster score a certain number of points. The nine you actually started scored fewer. This is the gap — how much of your own team you left on the bench.
2026 regular season • 8 weeks so far • starters vs. best possible

| 10 | Shedeurs Support Group Reeceparkinson | 84.3% | 136.9 | 1 | 37.0wk 3 |
Perfect weeks are weeks where no other lineup would have scored more. Playoff weeks are excluded — not everybody plays them.
Luck index
Your record depends on who you were drawn against. The all-play record scores you against every coach each week rather than just the one you played — that is what your points actually earned. The gap between the two is the fixture list, not you.
2026 regular season • 8 weeks so far • actual vs. all-play

| 10 | Clapton Catzzancrabbe | 1-7 | 27-42-3 | 3.2 | -2.2 |
Deserved wins are the all-play win rate over the same number of games. Luck is actual wins minus deserved, so across the league it adds up to nothing — one coach’s good fortune is another’s.
Part two
Around the NFL
Everyone else’s waiver page ranks players by how many managers added them, which is a list of what you are already too late for. These rank by what players are actually scoring, and show the adds beside it so you can see who has noticed.
Under the radar
Producing above what a freely available player at their position gives you, still free in this league, and barely being added anywhere. This is the part worth reading.

Heating up
Biggest gap between the last three weeks and the season so far, whoever owns them. Some of these are already gone — the point is to see the direction of travel.

Hype check
Being added in their thousands while scoring below a replacement player. A name, a rumour, or one good week a fortnight ago.

Full PPR, matching this league. Averages skip weeks a player didn’t feature, so a bye doesn’t count as a nought. Adds are across all of Sleeper over seven days. Weeks 1–7 of 2026.
