💡 Understanding Draft Retention
What is Draft Retention?
Draft retention measures what percentage of your drafted players are still on your roster at the end of the season. It's calculated by dividing the number of drafted players remaining on your roster by the total number of picks you made.
High vs. Low Retention
- High Retention (70%+): Indicates successful draft strategy, player loyalty, or conservative roster management. You drafted well and stuck with your picks.
- Moderate Retention (50-69%): Balanced approach mixing draft picks with strategic waiver wire additions and trades.
- Low Retention (<50%): Aggressive waiver wire strategy, poor draft performance, or active trading. You're constantly improving your roster.
Neither is "Better"
High retention isn't always good and low retention isn't always bad. What matters is results. A championship team with 30% retention found gold on waivers. A last-place team with 80% retention drafted poorly and didn't adapt. The key is winning, not loyalty to draft picks.
Season Trends
League-wide retention trends can reveal interesting patterns:
- Increasing retention over time: League is maturing, managers are getting better at drafting
- Decreasing retention over time: League is becoming more competitive with active waiver wire play
- Stable retention: League has found its equilibrium between drafting and roster churn
⚠️ Remember: Use this data to understand your league's behavior patterns. Are you more conservative or aggressive than your league average? Does your retention rate correlate with your success? There's no "right" answer—only what works for your strategy.
