Usage - Simulating Seasons
ffsimulator connects directly to your league (via the ffscrapr package) and can be used at a high level with just a few lines of code:
foureight_conn <- mfl_connect(2021, 22627)
foureight_sim <- ff_simulate(conn = foureight_conn, n_seasons = 10, n_weeks = 14)
foureight_sim#> <ff_simulation: 10 simulated seasons of Four-Eight Dynasty League>
#> List of 7
#> $ summary_simulation: tibble [12 × 11] (S3: tbl_df/tbl/data.frame)
#> $ summary_season : tibble [120 × 12] (S3: tbl_df/tbl/data.frame)
#> $ summary_week : tibble [1,680 × 16] (S3: tbl_df/tbl/data.frame)

#> $ league_info : tibble [1 × 17] (S3: tbl_df/tbl/data.frame)
#> $ simulation_params : tibble [1 × 9] (S3: tbl_df/tbl/data.frame)ffsimulator includes a few automatic plots that can be run on this ff_simulation object to get a quick sense of the simulation output:
plot(foureight_sim) # defaults to type = "wins"
plot(foureight_sim, type = "rank")
plot(foureight_sim, type = "points")
#> Picking joint bandwidth of 7.68
You can also access the various component dataframes by name, for further analysis.
The summary_simulation table is a team-level summary
across all of the simulated seasons.

tables both provide individual player-week level scores, with the
difference being that the roster_scores table is attached
to franchise rosters (and thus duplicates rows if there are multiple
copies of players within the league).
