2016 Ottoneu FGpts Rankings – OF

Below is the Outfield installment of our 2016 Ottoneu FGpt rankings.

Previous Rankings: Catcher/First Base/Third Base/Second Base/Shortstop

In the context of Ottoneu, perhaps rankings are a misnomer, because you really want to know the dollar value each player is worth. We’ve included this information for our benefit. In all, these rankings should help to give you a spread of four dollar values for each player, as well as a comparison to average prices (post-arbitration, pre-cut deadline) within the Ottoneu FGpts universe. Each player’s Ottoneu eligibility (5GS, 10 appearances) is included as well, though players are ranked at their most valuable position. If you have questions on a specific ranking, or a question for a specific ranker, feel free to let us know in the comments.

Consider this your very early, subject to change, Ottoneu pricing cheat sheet.

Total Ranked 94 105 96 99

Only players who received a ranking from at least one of the four of us were included. Players not listed are likely post-auction pick-ups ($1 players). The line between a $1 player and a post-auction pick-up is very small.

Each owner has different biases to certain positions. To help illustrate these we’ve included “Total $” and “Total ranked” at the bottom of the table. We hope this helps you pick apart some different owner strategies/biases.

The (+/-) column may be helpful in determining which players may generally be overrated by your league mates.

Wow, he’s so high? Or wow, so low?

More of a wow in how fast he has fallen. In last years Rotographs Positional Ranking he was #4 OF.

Yeah, definitely agree. I think a lot of owners bought in on him as a bounceback in 2015 and he just fell ever further instead. Hard to put much trust in him now. To be fair, these rankings for ottoneu FGPTS will likely value him below 5×5 rankings, because steals are much less valuable (He would never have been the #4 OF to begin with in FGPTS) but no matter how you score it he’s really fallen off.
