How to evaluate other teams in my league to find trade partners

Is there an easy way to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the other teams in my 5x5 league so I can easily tell who might be a good trade partner.

Yes, although it takes a little bit of Excel work (no more than 20-30 minutes if you’re proficient with VLOOKUP and pivot tables). Use the CSV roster export function to get rosters into Excel. Export your preferred projection set (I recommend ATC) to Excel as well. Use VLOOKUP to match up projected stats with the players (or use a program like R or Stata to merge more quickly). Then use a pivot table to see where the category strengths and weaknesses are.

I also offer a 5x5 Standings Projection tool on my Patreon, that takes FanGraphs DC projections and shows projected 5x5 standings, just by entering League #

Is that part of the Patreon Surplus Calculator or another sheet?
