How much do you suppose a QB with a projected 70+ avoid int bar would do in a heavy affinity build? I have seen in several leagues that people don't bother going for heavy affinity set ups for the most part. We have a fair few heavy affinity set ups here. No doubt it brings some advantage, but it isn't the be all and end all. In fact it ties your hands in terms of other players you bring in. We have a high interception QB with great receiver and backfield affinity. 3 quality WRs too. Just had my worst season in 20 years. In my opinion because I was too focused on affinities and lost sight of getting the right team on the field. I think there are people out there who overrate affinities. Some who wrongly don't buy in to it at all. I think finding the right balance is key, obsession can blow up in your face IMO.

No sound scientific studies to back it up, but in my totally anecdotal too small sample size experience, conflicts have a much more negative effect than affinities have a positive.

Hello, i have put in the Browns QB Hardy into the spreadsheet, firstly i guess i use his potential bars to find out what his avoid int could end up as ?
He comes out as: Actual 70 and the yellow bnox as +20.3, now according to the key it says +3 is really really good, so does this mean Hardy is the dogs dangly bits when it comes to avoid ints? thanks

does this mean the spreadsheet attached on the 1st page is wrong then? I'm not sure it can accurately calculate potential. I think you would have to use the current bar numbers or wait until he's fully developed. But I know that spreadsheet has been squirting out weird numbers recently. I thought squirrel looked into it and fixed it

yep use that - the spreadsheet isn't as good Why do you say that? Your spreadsheet is more accurate from what I can see. Tzach's tool is putting out guys with 115 AI. It must be off. Every player works out perfectly between 0 and 100 on your spreadsheet.

Every player works out perfectly between 0 and 100 on your spreadsheet. I think the calculations are about the same, so nothing in the analytics. Just my spreadsheet can be amended by anyone so from time to time it stops working as it should, and I need to maintain it (I think it's OK now by the way) whereas tzach's thing will just work all the time. So it's a bit more reliable

Tzach's seems to work with potential guys a little better and yours is great with a fully dev guy.

Hi all. I'm new here and new to FOF. I have been reading your forums and there is so much great information. The last post in this thread is from 2019. Is it still relevant and how is that spreadsheet (still usable?)? As suggested I have tried the form on Tzach's page, but not sure if the information is still correct. It tells me my starting QB on my SP team has a 5 bar. So immensely helpful!!!
Thanks for all the great insights!

Yeah, still relevant.
I actually think this one is a little more accurate, if you do the easy equation with it than zach’s

On a quick visual inspection you will see some players have more red bars than you would expect for their rating, and some have less. Those that have less have high AI. This is because the hidden AI bar is a fairly large proportion of the players overall rating calculation.
