Build and print a cheat sheet

A generic top 200 is built for a league that is not yours. RotoAlpha's cheat sheet builder takes your scoring, your roster slots, and your draft slot, and gives you a board that reflects them.

It is free, and it needs no account.

Build one

Go to the cheat sheet builder and describe your league:

• League size and starting lineup. Which positions start, how many of each, and how many bench spots.
• Scoring. Use a preset, or Set my own point values to enter your league's own numbers. Kicker and defense stay on standard values.
• Your draft slot, or Not sure yet if you do not have one.

Rather than filling that in by hand, Paste your league settings instead takes the settings text from wherever your league is hosted and reads size, scoring, and roster out of it.

What comes back

A ranked board with two things a plain ranking does not have.

Tiers. Players whose projections sit close enough that the order inside the group is noise are grouped together. On the clock the real question is never "who is ranked 27th", it is "does anyone from this tier make it back to my next pick". Tier breaks are marked so you can see where the cliff is.

Your picks. Set your draft slot and every overall pick your seat owns is marked in the board, so you can read a tier against the pick number where you will next be choosing.

Roster shape is what makes the board yours. In a 10-team league that starts one running back, running back scarcity barely bites. In a 14-team league that starts a flexible quarterback slot, quarterbacks become the scarcest thing on the board. The same player list would be wrong for both.

Print it

Print straight from the page. The layout is built for it, so you get the board and not the site around it.

Get it rebuilt for draft morning

Projections move every day through late August, so a sheet built two weeks out has drifted by the time you sit down. Leave your email and RotoAlpha emails you the sheet now, then rebuilds it off draft-morning projections and sends it again before you are on the clock. The draft date is optional: leave it blank and the rebuild comes the Saturday before Labor Day, the big draft weekend.

For auction leagues

The equivalent tool is the auction values calculator, which turns the same league description into dollar values against your budget rather than into a pick-ordered board.

Inside your league

The cheat sheet builder is standalone by design: nothing saved, no league, no sign-in. Once you have a league in RotoAlpha, the Players page is the same idea with your own data behind it: your projections, your notes, your keepers, and the ability to export the table as a CSV.
