Fantasy Football Dashboard Advantages and Disadvantages

http://overflow.solutions/special-projects/2016-fantasy-football-dashboard/

This Dashboard shows the creator’s Fantasy Football Draft. There are four graphs in the dashboard: Player listing sorted by project score, points by rank, box plot of projected FF points for each player by position, and points by position and team. All the four graphs are interactive, and i believe the interactiveness creates better understanding of the data visualization as well as confusing the audience.

Audience: Anyone interested about the fantasy football, and want to be successful in it.

Purpose: Help the audience to choose a good pick.

Advantage: They are many information in this dashboard. The interactive part makes it easy for audience to filter the data. The use of color help the audience understand the role of players.

Disadvantage:

  1. In the points by rank graph, it is hard to distinguish the cross, circle, square, and etc. in the small interface. Also, in the dashboard we do not know the difference between the symbols.
  2. The audience may get confused by so many filters. Maybe do not group them together and put them closer to the graph.
  3. Do not like the player search option, there are not so many player in the database. Barely use it.

To sum up, is you are new to the fantasy football, this graph will confuse you. If you are a addict player, this data visualization may help you a lot.
