What is Surplus?

A live fantasy baseball draft board at surplus.football. Every row is priced in projected points and VOB in points leagues, or in season z-score (Z / Z/base) in category leagues. The default league in the app is categories. Open the board, switch the sport to MLB, start picking.

Is Surplus free?

Yes. Free at surplus.football. Guest drafts stay in this browser. Surv% and Δ pick lock behind a free sign-up.

Is Surplus the same as surplus value drafting?

No. Surplus value is a strategy. Surplus is the product that puts Proj / VOB (or Z) on the baseball board.

What is VOB?

Value over baseline: season points above the last startable player at that position. Season points are per-appearance fantasy points × eGP (expected games, starts, or appearances). The football missed-game haircut is not applied. The points board prints Proj/g and VOB/g (season VOB ÷ eGP); the sort still uses season VOB. Hitters and pitchers are separate pools. Category leagues print Z/base — season z already includes playing time, so it is not multiplied by eGP again. More on the MLB draft board that prices picks in points.

How is a player ranked?

The spine is in-house Marcel (per appearance). ESPN Fantasy Baseball rest-of-season totals are scaled to a rate before they blend with Marcel — hitting and pitching independently, so a two-way line is not divided by the wrong volume. If a blended line still looks like a season total, Marcel is kept. Surplus does not run the football house model on baseball, so there is no published accuracy percentage for MLB. The house-model backtest at /backtest is football only.

Live parties / remote owners?

HDMI or cast the tab. The commissioner records picks on that machine. There is no shareable room URL. Surplus does not import Sleeper baseball leagues.
