Trying to construct the best possible Super Coach team

[scoop 3,447]

At the end of the regular season, I always like to take a look at the results of the VHFL and Super Coach to analyze the best possible roster construction. While I don't have a definite formula to show me the best possible team for Super Coach, given that there is a salary cap, I have tried to put together what I think may be the top scoring combination possible.

 

Before I get into the best possible team, I will first reveal the Best Value Team. This would be a roster constructed of all the top fantasy scorers per salary.

 

Pos	Player Name	$	FP	FP/$
F	Jeff Lewis	4	159.5	39.9
F	Lorenzo Cobberson	4	157.2	39.3
F	Lucas Grey	4	146.1	36.5
D	Tord Yvel	4	187.5	46.9
D	Curtis Crumb	4	174.2	43.4
G	Wumbo	3	136.1	45.4

 

This roster combined costs just $23 but scores a total of 960.6 fantasy points. For $19 less than the limit, this team would have placed 10th. Of course, you can utilize that extra $19 to improve on this roster, even if these players do give you the best bang-for-your-buck. In fact, the roster that I came up with as being the best only contains one of the players listed above. (Again, this is not a definite statement; I simply got to a point where I didn't feel like looking for more improvements, but this is definitely close to the best if not number one.)

 

Pos	Player Name	$	FP	FP/$
F	Cobalt Burns	5	174.7	34.9
F	Jason	10	302.7	30.3
F	Alfred Champagne	8	240	30
D	Tord Yvel	4	187.5	46.9
D	Brian Kowalski	9	288.6	32.07
G	Karl Pederson	6	208.8	34.8

 

This team would score 1402.3 points. Obviously no one would ever come close to this, but it's still fun to look at. Although Wumbo looks like a very good value, it became evident pretty quickly that spending $3 more to get a 72.7 more fantasy points was the way to go. Jason was another one that it was pretty clear should be included. He was the 6th best FP/$ among forwards, and the only one that was at a value of more than $5, making him a valuable upgrade. Some other players that I had initially looked at were Mark Calaway and Skor McFleury, but Kowalski fit better as the first defenseman to upgrade to, and sticking with Yvel as opposed to the high-value forwards ended up making more sense.
