fantasy-ga 0.2.1

Genetic algorithm library to generate fantasy basketball lineups

fantasy-ga

fantasy-ga is a Python module and a command line tool that uses genetic algorithm to automate the generation of fantasy sports linesups. Currently supports DraftKings basketball rules.

Installation

• Dependency
  • numpy

pip install fantasy-ga

Usage

Export a csv file from your daily fantasy basketball platform for a given contest, and read the file with fantasy_ga.read_csv. Currently DraftKings is supported.

Alternatively, you can provide a numpy.array where the columns correspond to player ID, salary, fantasy points (FPTS) and position information i.e. id,salary,fpts,PG,SG,SF,PF,C,G,F,UTIL.

Python

import numpy as np
from fantasy_ga import LineupGenerator, read_csv

# load data from DraftKings salary csv
id_to_name, id_to_salary, m = read_csv("examples/DraftKings/DKSalaries.csv", site="DraftKings")

# initial population of random lineups
n_pop = 1000
# number of evolutions to itererate breeding and mutation for
n_gen = 16
# number of children lineups to choose from two best lineups
n_breed = 30
# number of random mutations for each evolution
n_mutate = 30
# number of compound evolutions with additional random lineups
n_compound = 5

model = LineupGenerator(m, n_pop, n_gen, n_breed, n_mutate, n_compound)
model.fit()
optimal_lineups, top_n_scores = model.get_top_n_lineups(1)

print(
    f"Players: {[id_to_name[id] for id in optimal_lineups[0]]}\nSalary Total: {sum([id_to_salary[id] for id in optimal_lineups[0]])}\nExpected FPTS: {top_n_scores[0]}"
)

CLI

As a Python module

$ python -m fantasy_ga --filepath=examples/DraftKings/DKSalaries.csv --site=DraftKings --n_pop=100 --n_gen=5 --n_breed=100 --n_mutate=100 --n_compound=10 --top_n_lineups=1

or a CLI command

$ fantasy-ga --filepath=examples/DraftKings/DKSalaries.csv --site=DraftKings --n_pop=100 --n_gen=5 --n_breed=100 --n_mutate=100 --n_compound=10 --top_n_lineups=1  

which generates

Generated Top 1 lineups

Players: ['Russell Westbrook', 'Bruce Brown', 'Michael Porter Jr.', 'Jerami Grant', 'Mason Plumlee', 'Paul George', 'Aaron Gordon', 'Marcus Morris Sr.']
Salary Total: 49100
Expected FPTS: 254.11
