Are they based on the same numbers, where do the numbers come from?
The AFL's Fantasy Football uses Champion Data, it's the official AFL service and the same service the clubs use.
I'm not sure where the Jock Reynolds data come from, I thought it uses a sort of crowd based cloud sourced system. The important thing is that it must be consistent.
The two systems allocate points quite differently, they don't value the same acts equally and they penalize some mistakes quite differently.
The points and how they are allocated are selection / decisions made by a person or panel. So we should not really select one system over the other because the act of selecting is a bias, the bias is not the way the systems work themselves as long as they are consistent.
There is some irony in those stats as well, because Murphy is the only Carlton player over the last decade to regularly make The Hun's own Top 50, yet The Hun's stat engine apparently doesn't rate him! Does that tell us anything about the true value of the Jock Reynolds system, or what The Hun think of it?
