Build a draft plan that wins.
Hold it together when the bidding starts.
Build a roster plan around the categories you intend to win, prove it out against your league’s own draft history, then adjust it in real time as players go over, go under, or go to somebody else.
Capologist is built for 9-category head-to-head salary cap leagues, where every pick is a price. Leave your email and you’ll hear the moment it opens.
New league or first year? We start from market baselines and re-fit to your league after your first draft.
Built on real results from a live 12-team league running since 2011 — actual winning bids, not generic mock-draft prices.
Three steps, one plan.
Connect your league
About two minutes. Capologist reads your scoring settings and every draft your league has run.
Build your plan
Tell it which categories you’re prioritizing and which you’re not. Every player is re-valued for your build.
Draft with it open
Every nomination is priced against your plan in real time. When a target gets bid past your number or a player falls below good value, you see what it does to the rest of your roster.
Build the roster that wins your league.
Every league values players differently and yours has a pattern. Capologist prices every player at what a real salary-cap league pays — fit on fifteen seasons of winning bids — and tightens that fit to your league as your drafts import. Then it builds your target roster around the categories you’re committing to and shows you whether that plan can win.
- Surplus on every target — your value next to your league’s projected price, so you can see where you’ll gain.
- Built to your strategy — commit to categories, contest others, give up the ones you don’t want. Every player re-values to that build.
- Punt explorer, position screener, tiers — see what one more punt unlocks, and who clears the bar at each roster spot.
Your keepers are already priced in.
Every kept player comes off the board before you plan, and the money your league keeps with them inflates every price that’s left. If your league keeps twenty players, you’re drafting in a different market — Capologist prices that one, not the generic one.
Prices move all night. Know which ones change your plan.
Some targets get bid past what they’re worth to you, some come in cheap, and some get taken. Capologist re-values your whole board with each pick and tells you what it means for your build: who you can still afford, who just came into range, and where you need to find a different name.
- Bidding for a player exceeds your target — your next-best option and target price are already on screen.
- Pivot while sticking to your strategy — see whether each nomination fits your build, and the price that would make them a better alternative.
- Spending runs hot — budget pace shows whether the money you have left still covers your remaining targets.
- Live re-pricing — your targets automatically reprice after each pick so you stay on track.
- Live per-category standings — so you know what your roster still needs.
The prices are measured, not guessed.
Capologist’s price model is fit on real winning bids from a live salary-cap league that has drafted every year since 2011 — 1,696 of them on file. Keeper prices never train it: a keeper is a contract, not a bid.
Held out one season at a time — each season predicted by a model that never saw it — it misses the real price by $7.34 a player, $8.73 on the $20-plus players that decide a draft: 29% less error on those players than pricing off projections alone.
- 1,696
- winning bids on file
- $7.34
- average miss per player
- 29%
- less error on $20+ players
How to read $7.34: each season in the test was hidden from the model and predicted cold. $7.34 is the average miss per player, on a $200 budget.
Your league starts on this fit and tightens to its own history: import your drafts and Capologist fits your league’s tiers and spending curve immediately; prices re-fit as your seasons accumulate. And after your draft, the recap runs the same measurement on your own league — you’ll know exactly how far off it was.

Straight answers.
Where do the projections come from?
Our own model. Recent play is weighted more heavily, minutes and games are projected separately from per-game rates, and veterans get age-based decline curves rather than an assumption that last season repeats.
How do the prices fit my league?
The model is fit on real winning bids back to 2011, and it reads your league’s settings, roster shape and keepers. Import your history and it fits your league’s tiers and spending curve immediately; the prices themselves re-fit as your drafts accumulate.
What if my league is new, or I only have a season or two of history?
You start from market baselines and the fit tightens as your league’s drafts accumulate. Every draft you run through Capologist sharpens next year’s prices.
Do I need a plan to use the live draft tool?
Yes. A walk-away price only exists because your plan defines what a player is worth to your build. No plan, no number.
What do I get in the free preview?
The full pool and 9-cat projections, a starter board and a 16-pick mock draft on your own league. Enough to see the math before you pay.
Is it only for salary cap leagues?
Today, yes. Capologist is built for 9-category head-to-head salary cap leagues, where every pick is a price.
What happens if it breaks mid-draft?
It’s built not to. About 1,100 automated tests run against every change, the live math runs client-side, and if you lose connection the draft log picks up where you left off.
