All-around Fantasy Scout

A version of Fantasy Scout.

Each year, each scout (i.e. contestant) must:
  • pick some under-20 players, up to 10
  • select 1 out of the players picked the previous year to permanently represent him

Points are given to players according to their performance in each official competition, be it for club teams or national teams. Data can be taken from sites like zerozerofootball.com (see e.g. the stats of Messi in 2008/09). For each competition, the points scored by a player are given by the following formula:
competition coefficient * ((3 * goals scored by the player) + (1 * points gained by his team in the matches that he played))
The competition coefficient can be computed using a formula similar to the one designed by Marcelo Leme de Arruda to rank club teams.

For each year, a ranking of the players picked in that year - i.e. of the scouts that picked them, since each scout is represented by one player - is computed.
