Background
Which waiver move addresses a fantasy roster’s actual need?
Fantasy GM used a private ESPN league’s snapshots to connect roster balance, projected production and the real game schedule. The public site now includes a season retrospective alongside the league views.

How It Works
- Private access: League cookies stay in a local environment file; the pipeline publishes derived static data.
- Roster needs: Guard and frontcourt production are compared with league averages.
- Waivers: Available players are evaluated against the schedule and the roster’s missing production.
- History: Add, drop, trade and lineup records preserve stable ESPN team identifiers.
- Retrospective: The season review documents the build and the constraints that shaped it.
