fantasy_pl

An attempt to write a fantasy football bot in a week.

Requirements

• Python 3
• Python modules numpy, pandas, pulp, requests, torch:
  • pip3 install numpy
  • pip3 install pandas pulp requests torch

Installation

git clone https://github.com/ashharrison90/fantasy_pl.git

Running

python3 main.py <FANTASY_PL_USERNAME>

This will use the current model stored under model.pt. To create a new model instead use (note: this may take a lot longer):

python3 main.py <FANTASY_PL_USERNAME> --update-model

To automatically make the transfers and set the starting lineup, set the --apply flag:

python3 main.py <FANTASY_PL_USERNAME> --apply

To ignore the current squad when calculating a new squad (useful when starting the season/using a wildcard), set the --ignore-squad flag:

python3 main.py <FANTASY_PL_USERNAME> --ignore-squad

You can optionally provide your password as a command line flag:

python3 main.py <FANTASY_PL_USERNAME> --password=<FANTASY_PL_PASSWORD>

For help:

python3 main.py --help
