Fantasy Superpesis

Can you manage the perfect fantasy team?


If you are a regular listener to the podcast, you will have heard talk about fantasy sports and the old fantasy pesis site. We were all hoping that there would be an updated fantasy game to go along with the new statistics site, but sadly that hasn’t happened. Instead I have decided to test out my own ideas. 


Pesis fantasy rules


Overview

Each team has a roster that is set for a full 7 days. Points are scored daily  by active players on the team’s roster. 


Batting points

2 point successful hit (moving point runner)

6 points RBI

6 points for run

Points for Home run (kunniajuoksu) are counted as an RBI and run combined and is worth 12 or more points.


Fielding points

0 runs conceded = 10 points

-1 point for each run conceded

1 point for each defended 3rd base situation


Roster

A roster consists of 15 players and there are a maximum number of players for each position in the lineup:


2 x OF (Outfielders)

2 x SS (Short stops)

4 x IF (Infielders)

1 x P (Pitcher)

3 x J (Joker)

3 x Subs (Substitutes)


Player positions are determined by the active roles they have in the 2021 season. If a player plays 1 or more games in a different role, they are eligible for that role. There are no limits on how many different positions a player can be eligible for.


Pitcher - each lineup can have 1 pitcher. The pitcher will score double fielding points and must be eligible to be a pitcher.

Joker - each lineup can have 3 jokers. A joker will score double batting points and must be eligible to be a joker. Jokers can score fielding points if they score them in any game where they are not a joker.

Substitute - each lineup can have 3 substitutes. A substitute will score points like any other position player (not a joker or pitcher) and can be any fielding position.


All lineups must be set before the Monday night game. A current lineup cannot be changed at any point during the week, but the lineup for the following week can be changed at any time up until the first game of the week. 


Draft

For this season I will be organising a simple draft for anybody who wants to join this league. This will take the form of a draft list, where each person ranks their picks in a draft list and I calculate which teams sign which players based on a draft list order (chosen at random).


Interested?

If you want join this experiment please comment on this post and I will add you to the draft.

Elimination preview: 2021

Image
Can Hamina turn their fortunes around and break SiiPe’s home record? Whilst the spotlight is on the top 8, the most intriguing matchup is the elimination series between SiiPe and Hamina. The loser will be relegated, the winner will have the change to stay in Superpesis if they can beat the league leaders in Ykköspesis (which will be either Oulu or Kuopio).   (14) SiiPe v (15) Hamina SiiPe start this series coming off the back of a remarkably up and down season. Siilinjärvi have beaten the likes of KPL, KiPa, Seinäjoki and Tahko - all at home. In fact, their home record has been so much at odds with their away record, that their points won from home games was 13 (an average of 0.93 per game) and points won from away games was a disastrous 2 (an average of 0.17).  On the other side, Hamina have struggled to reach their potential in 2021, mostly as a result of a series of injuries to Sasu Toikka and Matias Hangasmaa, but the lost opportunities and games where points were given away

Playoff previews 2021: Semifinals

Image
The semifinals promise to be action packed and full of surprises… The first round of the playoffs are now over and the semifinals are set. Here is my preview of the last 4: (1) Manse PP v (4) Sotkamo Both of these teams played a tough series to reach the semifinals. Manse almost became the victims of a surprise series win by IPV; however Manse came back from losing their opening 2 games and won in 5 games. Sotkamo’s road to the semifinals had a substantially more threatening roadblock in the form of a hungry Joensuu side. If JoMa had home field advantage for the series, or the ball had bounced a certain way, this semifinal would look very different. Sotkamo’s regular season games against top 4 sides were not great and they lost more games than the other 3. Despite a dazzling performance at Kaupi on 30th July, Manse still got the better of the reigning champions in their most recent matchup. Manse now have to prove that they are the championship contenders they claim to be. Expect th

1952 - an exhibition of Finnish sport

Image
Emblem of the 1952 Summer Olympics, held in Helsinki I have had this post in my mind for quite some time after doing research into the origins of pesäpallo. Whilst the beginnings of pesäpallo date back even prior to the official commencement date in 1922, 1952 is actually an important year for showcasing pesäpallo on the world stage. Post war Europe  With political and social divisions in Europe in a state of self-reflection, the ideals of cooperation and prosperity took on an international element. Whilst gripped in an ideological struggle between the free-market west and soviet east, many countries sought strength in the form of cooperation and mutual economic practices. In stark contrast this period saw the birth of nuclear and atomic weapons testing. This atmosphere culminated in the birth of 2 organisations: A. The Nordic Council - which was established by agreement in 1952 and met in 1953; and B. The European Coal and Steel Community (the foundation organisation
