lineup-optimizer 0.0.1

A Python package for optimizing and generating DFS lineups.

DFSLineupOptimizer

A Python project for generating NFL daily fantasy contest lineups.

Installation

Clone the repository onto your machine to get started. Ensure you have Python and pip installed, then set up the virtual environment using:

pipenv install -r "requirements.txt"
pipenv shell

This project currently only uses built-in Python modules, so this step is actually not required.

Usage

To generate an optimized lineup for a chosen DFS contest, go to the contest webpage and download the players list as a CSV, which is an option on almost all DFS sites. Then, place the CSV file into the root directory of the project. You can then call optimize on that file, specifying the site. For example:

python optimize.py DRAFTKINGS DKSalaries.csv

This will output the lineup to the console.

About

Lineups are able to be generated following certain constraints called "Tags". In addition, TagsController can confirm whether a given Lineup conforms to the rules of specific tags, as well as output the list of Tags that the Lineup conforms to. Examples of such Tags are: "Stack: 4x2", "Build: 3 RB", "Punt: TE".
