I am working on a report for FOF that shows who the leading candidates could be for Player of the Year, Defensive POTY, Rookie POTY, etc. I tried to do some searching on the FOFC boards but came up with only a discussion on Player of the Week honors.

What I'd like to do is have the report update after each sim, and by using stats provided from FOF, determine who at that moment would be the top candidates for POTY honors. Does anyone know of a place where to get any such calculations or formula to determine this?

I would just make something up that looks good. Then when it's wrong everyone in your league can complain about the voters, just like in real life.

This is the tack I take with the "Mock Draft" utility in DraftAnalyzer. It has some gaping holes (like using the "team needs" report from FOF which doesn't match what any human would actually consider drafting most of the time, as it doesn't account for youngsters who'll start in a year or two), but I figure it's just as accurate as any other mock draft out there...

I think a good start would be to try and figure out how the actual game makes the calculations, but I can't figure that out either. I started doing some calculations but it didn't look right at all. I have been searching online for some sort of development of a formula to calculate a predicted MVP, POTY, etc but I am just failing left and right.
