Okay, this stuff is around here and there, but a quick catchup:
-Chemistry works among your 5 position groups: RB/FB, WR/TE, OL, D7, DB
-There's one leader per group, other group members interact with him
-Your QBs all interact with the three offensive group leaders
-It's all based on zodiac, three groupings, each sign has 2x good and 1x bad
-Leaders assigned based on a combination of total experience and leadership
-The precise formula for who leads is unknown, but exp counts up to 8 yrs
-Players don't activate chemistry until they have starts, typically 8 games
-Rookies from rounds 1-4 are the exception, they get it for free for a year
-In a redraft league, looks like everyone counts for year one, no matter what
-The strength of the affinity is a function of leader+follower personality
-A "potential affinity" means the player hasn't gotten his starts yet to click
-Affinities affect the performance of the position group, not just the individual
-Everything about affinities, presumably, is reversed with conflicts
-The overall magnitude of this effect is very hard to measure
-One study a long time ago suggested it's more than 1 win/yr on a good team
-There's anecdotal evidence saying it's valuable, not much rigorous testing
