Stats and roster questions 5x5

With respect to your second question, this is an older post and Justin based it on FGPts, but I’ve found that his numbers hold for 5x5 as well:


In terms of SGP data, I’m not aware of it having been collected for the site. But the following are based on the average of four competitive 5x5 leagues that I was in 2019 for average 25th, median, and 75th percentiles as well as average min and max (I didn’t record 90th percentile):

BA: .261/.265/.270 [.254, .278]
HR: 279/319/345 (250, 366)
RBI: 928/998/1138 [820, 1138]
R: 968/1041/1105 [882, 1181]
SB: 97/112/133 [83, 165]

W: 61/87/100 [61, 110]
SV: 47/75/112 [31, 125]
K: 1318/1482/1661 [1113, 1725]
ERA: 4.23/3.87/3.66 [4.57, 3.35] (note: reversed order intentionally)
WHIP: 1.283/1.225/1.179 [1.340, 1.129]


Using those data, you can construct the following SGP denominators based on min and max:

BA: .0022 (1764/6650=.265)
HR: 10.57
RBI: 28.91
R: 27.25
SB: 7.43

W: 4.48
SV: 8.55
K: 55.61
ERA: 0.1111 (645/1500*9=3.87)
WHIP: 0.0192 (1838/1500=1.225)

Alternatively, you can base the SGP denominator on the difference between 3rd and 10th (i.e., the 25th and 75th percentiles):

BA: 0.0013 (1764/6650=.265)
HR: 9.39
RBI: 19.07
R: 19.57
SB: 5.11

W: 4.00
SV: 9.25
K: 48.93
ERA: 0.0814 (645/1500*9=3.87)
WHIP: 0.0148 (1838/1500=1.225)
