Automated Fantasy Football Manager

Supervised by P.McMinn

Abstract

This project will aim to investigate whether computer science techniques can be used to create an automated manager for a popular online  game known as Fantasy Football. Human mangers play fantasy football on a weekly basis and are required to perform tasks including: team selection, team management and player forecasting. A solution will be attempted that can perform theses tasks using the power of computation. An automated manager should be able to perform all tasks listed while adhering to any constraints imposed. The problem is complex and this project will look to assess if a feasible solution can be created.
