My Team

The My Team page presents an overview of, well, your fantasy team. From this page, a team manager can set their lineup and see statistics and news on the players on their roster.

There are six subsections on the My Team page.

Overview

The team_roster() function returns all rosters in a league. The output of this function is organized to replicate the layout of the table found on the website. Players are listed in order of their "slot" with name and team information followed by projected and actual scores and ownership statistics.

my_team <- team_roster(scoringPeriodId = 1)[[1]] # select first roster
my_team[, -(1:3)]

News

The player_outlook() and player_news() functions return news on your roster. The first returns all outlooks by player and week and cannot be refined beyond setting a limit of players to return (in order of rank).

player_outlook(limit = 1)

The second fiction takes a single playerId value and returns all the recent news on that player, including premium stories in HTML format.

player_news(playerId = "3139477", parseHTML = FALSE)

League

ESPN fantasy leagues have their own unique settings and structure. This package has been tested for a very narrow subset of those possible settings.
