CDG scoring category set-up question

[Tennessee_ATO]

5x5 auction roto league. We have decided to modify our saves category to include holds. The formula we use is (2 x saves) + holds - blown saves. The out-of-the box categories that include holds seem to overemphasize them. Is there a way to mimic that by weighting multiple in the CDG? It wouldn’t need to be perfect, just a reasonable approximation so I can get a sense of how much this will impact the value of closers? I’ve played around some, but what I end up with seems to either over or under emphasize saves, at least compared to my expectations (which could certainly be wrong). Thanks.

What about using the net relief category (Sv + Hld - BS) AND the Saves category, each weighted at 0.5 (and all other categories weighted at 1)? That should get you what you want.

I found the same issue for the values in a league weights holds and saves equally. We use QS+W for starters and W+SV+H for relievers. when I used the CDG and put in all of my inputs everything seemed to work well. I ran it a couple of days ago and relievers were very much undervalued relative to what they were before and my expectations. Closers were valued at just a couple of dollars and in some cases negative. i was going to bring up the issue but decided to forget it until the post above. Any thoughts as to how to get believable values for relievers in a league that uses holds and saves equally? Thank you.

I tried that, but it values all relievers at “NV”. I could well be doing something wrong though. It’s been known to happen.

2XSv+Holds is now included as a category. No more workarounds needed.

I don't think you are doing anything wrong, because I got the same result. But then I tried adding Relief (SV + H) and Blown Saves, all 11 categories weighted as 1, and got positive values for relievers. Try that as a workaround, while Ray adds this to the list of CDG fixes.

I've reported this.
