Mission
Market Movers identify the dynasty players experiencing the most meaningful market gains and losses over both short- and medium-term time horizons.
Powered by FantasyCalc market values and enhanced with Fantasy Mate's filtering and ranking methodology, the workspace focuses attention on the changes that matter most.
Overview
Dynasty values are constantly changing, but not every increase or decrease deserves the same attention.
Small movements among low-value players can create impressive percentages, while elite assets can experience significant market shifts that appear modest when viewed only as percentages.
Fantasy Mate therefore combines market relevance with proportional movement. The result is a cleaner view of the players whose market sentiment is genuinely changing.
Primary Question
Which relevant dynasty assets are gaining or losing value the fastest?
Market Movers answers this across both 28-day and 90-day periods, helping users distinguish short-term reactions from more established market trends.
The Four Reports
28-Day Risers
Highlights relevant dynasty assets with the largest percentage gains over the previous 28 days.
28-Day Fallers
Highlights relevant dynasty assets with the largest percentage declines over the previous 28 days.
90-Day Risers
Focuses on sustained market appreciation over a longer time horizon, helping identify players whose values have been steadily climbing.
90-Day Fallers
Identifies players whose market values have experienced the most significant medium-term declines.
How Market Movers Work
Fantasy Mate first applies a market-relevance filter so that insignificant assets do not dominate the rankings.
Once the relevant player pool has been established, players are ordered by proportional value movement over the selected period.
This hybrid approach balances market relevance with proportional change, reducing both superstar bias and misleading spikes from very low-value players.
Market Movers rank proportional value changes only after establishing a relevant dynasty player pool.
Why Two Time Horizons Matter
The 28-day reports capture recent market reactions.
The 90-day reports provide a broader view of more sustained market movement.
Neither horizon is inherently more important. They answer different questions and should be interpreted together.
Primary Uses
- Identify meaningful market winners and losers.
- Separate short-term reactions from sustained trends.
- Monitor changing dynasty sentiment.
- Add context before trade negotiations.
- Discover players attracting increasing or decreasing market attention.
What Market Movers Are Not
Market Movers do not evaluate football quality and do not recommend transactions.
A rising player is not automatically a buy, and a falling player is not automatically a sell.
The reports describe meaningful changes in dynasty market sentiment.
Do not interpret the largest percentage movement as automatically the most important market change. Fantasy Mate first filters for relevant dynasty assets.
Key Takeaways
- Market Movers focus on meaningful dynasty assets rather than every player.
- Separate 28-day and 90-day reports provide different perspectives.
- Proportional movement is evaluated only after applying a relevance filter.
- The objective is to explain market behaviour, not recommend transactions.
