Fantasy Points Above Replacement
FPAR: the number that wins drafts.
FPAR is how many more fantasy points a player is projected to score than the best player left at his position once every roster spot in your league is filled.
Citrus works it out for your league: your scoring, your number of teams and every roster spot, bench included. Raw points cannot tell you that.
Example · same points, different value
A 200-point centre
+50 FPAR
Best C left: 150
+50
A 200-point defenceman
+90 FPAR
Best D left: 110
+90
Position scarcity
A 200-point defenceman is not a 200-point centre. When the centres left over score far more than the defencemen left over, the defenceman is the bigger gain.
When to take a goalie
Goalies are measured against the best goalie left over, on the same scale as skaters. When a goalie has the highest FPAR left on the board, that is your moment.

Mock Draft
A 12-team mock against AI managers, no account needed. Good for testing a strategy before the real draft.
Start a mockThe numbers
Projections that show their work.
Most fantasy sites hand you one number per player and never say where it came from. This is what is under the hood here.
An expected-goals model
Every shot gets an expected-goal value from a gradient-boosted model trained on shot location, shot type and the passing sequence before the shot. Player projections start there, not at last season's point totals.
A range, not a number
Where a simulation is available, the projection view gives you a floor, a middle and a ceiling instead of one average. That is the context a start-or-sit call needs.
Live scoring on every shift
Goals, assists, hits and blocks update your matchup during the game, rather than waiting for a next-day recap.
Stormy, the assistant GM
Stormy knows your roster and your scoring settings before you ask, and he quotes the number he is leaning on when he answers.
The stats the pros look at
Player pages bring together xGF%, Corsi, power-play usage and deployment context when the underlying data is available.
Weeks that end on Saturday
Matchup weeks run Sunday to Saturday, so your week ends on the biggest slate of the schedule instead of a three-game Sunday morning.
Stormy · Assistant GM
An assistant GM who has read your roster.
Stormy is plugged into your league. He knows your scoring settings, your roster and this week's matchup before you type anything, and when he answers he tells you which number he is leaning on.
Ask him a start-or-sit, a trade, or who to grab off waivers. He is free while we are in launch, with a weekly question limit.
Talk to StormyYOU
I'm offered a second-line winger and a 3rd-round pick for my top defenceman. Take it?
STORMY
I wouldn't. He is your only defenceman on a first power-play unit and your scoring pays for power-play points. The winger they are offering is on his team's second unit and would slot behind two of your current wingers. If they will add their PP1 defenceman instead of the pick, that is a different conversation.
An example. In your league he reads your actual roster and settings.
