We use the points rank for each player as the basis for our extensions.
This player, Derek Dietrich, MIA, has eligibility as a MI, CI, & OF. When
I look at his OF numbers, it says he is our 7th ranked OF with 2433.2
points and 1474 as a MI. The 1474 is listed on his team roster as his
fantasy points. Why is he listed as 2433.2 as an OF--is it a mistake.
This is their response:
No, not a mistake. When you select "OF", it scores him as an OF, and so forth.
Thanks,

With that, we are going to have to go with his #7 ranking for the purposes of contract extensions. So, if you want to extend Derek Dietrich with the 60% rule, his extension will have to be $7.0m (2021).
I know this is not the answer you want, but it is the reality we have to deal with. I can assure you that we are not trying to be unfair to you in this instance. We all rely on the Fantrax scoring system and we utilize it for all scoring aspects in FGM. We cannot disregard its data when we are assured by the Fantrax staff there is not an error.
Please let us know how you want us to proceed.
