Thanks

Grateful to @davisderodes, @DavisVaughan, @draftydesert277, @scottfrechette, and @TheMathNinja for their contributions to this release - feedback, issues, and PRs!

ffscrapr 1.4.6

The main goal of v1.4.6 is to patch some minor bugs, introduce a unified dependency on nflreadr, and add some support for kicker scoring.

New features

• ff_template() adds a template connection for ff_starter_positions(), ff_scoring(), and ff_scoringhistory() to more easily pull common scoring templates.
• Add kicker stat mappings for ff_scoringhistory() and support ~ most kicker scorings (MFL's may be weird.)

Minor changes

• ff_league() for MFL now returns league type ("dynasty", "keeper", "redraft") if the field is set.
• ff_league() for MFL now returns draft type (e.g. "email draft", "live auction") if the field is set.
• ff_league() for MFL now returns draft player pool (e.g. "Rookie", "Veteran", "Both") if the field is set. (These three changes fix #311, thanks @maat7043!)
• ff_schedule() for ESPN now credits a bye team with a win instead of causing an error.
• espn_getendpoint() no longer returns an error for seasons prior to 2018. (Thanks, @JoeSydlowski!)
• nflfastr_weekly() and nflfastr_roster() now use the nflreadr package functions back-end
• Added some names to the name database, c/o @SCasanova via #320 - thank you, Santiago!
• ff_starters() for ESPN now also tries to return a projected score for the week - thank you, @scottfrechette! Resolves #323.
• ff_schedule() for Sleeper no longer broken - resolves #322.
• ff_schedule() for MFL now returns NA as the result for unplayed games and becomes consistent with other platforms.
• ff_scoringhistory() for MFL now parses decimal ranges correctly
• Refactor ff_scoringhistory() into memoisable pieces (.nflfastr_offense_long, .nflfastr_kicker_long, .nflfastr_roster)
• Update http error messages for user readability.
• Minimum R version bumped to 3.6.0 - nflreadr uses RDS versions that require a minimum of R3.6.

Thanks

Immensely grateful to: Joe Sydlowski, Matt Spencer, Santiago Casanova, Scott Frechette, and all others who raised issues and contributed code towards this release!

ffscrapr 1.4.5

The main goal of v1.4.5 is to comply with CRAN somehow testing our examples.

Minor changes

• ff_league() for ESPN now works for non-ppr leagues.
• Include try() in all examples because apparently \donttest doesn't do anything anymore 😡 (fixes #308)

ffscrapr v1.4.4

ffscrapr v1.4.4

The main goal of v1.4.4 is to patch minor bugs and to add some minor extensions such as an HTML cleaning function. v1.4.4 is also served from a different github organization and website domain.

Minor changes

• mfl_getendpoint() and similar get_endpoint functions have an improved print method that tells you whether the request was successful.
• Added errorhandling for ESPN methods of ff_starters(), ff_transactions(), ff_rosters(), espn_potentialpoints(), ff_draft(). Fixes #297, thanks for the report @jpiburn!
• Added message to warn if memoise is turned off, onAttach.
• ff_transactions() now correctly handles leagues using waiver priority, fixes #299 - thanks for the report @BarkovMVP!
• ff_league() for Sleeper now identifies best ball leagues, fixes #300
• ff_scoring() for MFL now has a points_type column that is either "each" or "once" - this helps delineate fantasy points awarded for meeting thresholds/bonuses from points awarded per-stat, fixes #301
• ff_scoringhistory() for MFL applies the new ff_scoring() points_type column to calculate scoring history. This should result in more sensible results for leagues with bonus scoring! Fixes #301.
• Add more mismatch names (Michael -> Mike Vick, Chris Wells -> Beanie Wells)
• Add dp_clean_html() to clean html from names (cough MFL cough)
• ff_starter_positions() now handles a "range" inside of the total_starters column for MFL, resolves #304
• Cutover to ffverse.com domain and github organization

ffscrapr 1.4.3

ffscrapr 1.4.3

The main goal of v1.4.3 is to patch some minor bugs.

Minor changes

• ff_league() now has a column that returns the platform's season - this is most useful when running ff_league in batch. Thank you to @joeflan for the contribution! (Fixes #287)
• Added helper script in dev/ for switching between test cache versions.
• Added helper script in dev/ for rebuilding test cache.
• ff_schedule() for Sleeper now should extend into playoff weeks. (Fixes #289)
• ff_draft() for Sleeper now has an auction_amount column if it is an auction draft. (Fixes #291)
• dp_cleannames() now can flip names originally presented in LastName, FirstName order into First Last, and also has a custom name database to convert common alternate names to a unified one.
• nflfastr_stat_mapping and dp_name_mapping are namespaced within the package, so that they can be used internally and externally a little more robustly.
• Rebuilt test cache in ffscrapr-tests.

ffscrapr 1.4.2

The main goal of v1.4.2 is to patch some minor bugs.

Minor changes

• espn_rosters now has a week argument to return a specific week of data. (Fixes #276, thanks @scottfrechette!)
• ff_scoringhistory now tries to return a platform-specific player ID, where available. (Fixes #275)
• Roxygen configured to use markdown (with the roxygen2md package) - hopefully fixes the lifecycle badge issues?
• sleeper_players() - gsis_id gets str_squish applied to it to resolve some stowaway whitespaces.
• mfl_players() - add any_of handling for columns to handle column name changes.
• sleeper_transactions now handles offseason transactions correctly

v1.4.1

ffscrapr 1.4.1

The main goal of v1.4.1 is to patch some issues raised by CRAN checks and also correct some bugs in the new experimental ff_scoringhistory and ff_starter_positions functions released in v1.4.0.

v1.4.0 - CRAN data pkg

Test files for ffscrapr v1.4.0

ffscrapr 1.4.0

The main goal of v1.4.0 is to add preliminary support for connecting ffscrapr to nflfastR weekly data, and to clean up bugs from v1.3.0.

New Features

• nflfastr_weekly() imports weekly offensive statistics from nflfastR's data repository.
• nflfastr_rosters() imports team rosters from nflfastR's roster repository.
• ff_scoringhistory() connects your league's scoring settings to the nflfastr data (c/o the functions above), and allows you to reconstruct historical scoring for your league!
• ff_starterpositions() describes the starter rules for each player/position, including min and max starters at each position accounting for flex spots. This should be useful for calculating things like value over replacement!

Breaking Changes

• Removed override_pos column from espn_scoring which only had a value of 16 for D/ST specific rules
• Expanded ESPN and Sleeper ff_scoring rules from one line per rule to one line per position per rule

Minor Changes

• Force MFL playerscores to use season + league specific players call where possible (#239)
• Reduce minimum rows for flea rosters test to 200, which fixes an API check issue (#242)
• Switching memoise backend to cachem package, fixes CRAN check issue where digest is no longer imported by memoise. Cachem also apparently more performant! (#244)
• sleeper_transactions now correctly handles multiple dropped players in one transaction. (#246).
• mfl_transactions - adds numeric string parsing to fix bug in auction bid amount (#)
• mfl_draft now calculates age as of timestamp and also adds an overall column. (#259, #260)

v1.3.0 - CRAN
