What is Surplus?

A live fantasy basketball draft board at surplus.football. Every row is priced in projected points and value over baseline (VOB) in points leagues, or in z-score (Z / Z/base) in category leagues. Open the board, switch the sport to NBA, set the league, 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 drafting strategy. Surplus is a product: the free NBA board that writes Proj / VOB (or Z) on every row.

What is VOB?

Value over baseline: season points above the last startable player at that position. Season points are per-game fantasy points × eGP (expected games), never × 82. The football missed-game haircut is not applied — eGP is already in the total. The points board prints Proj/g and VOB/g (season VOB ÷ eGP); the sort still uses season VOB. Category leagues print Z/base — per-game z × eGP/82. More on the NBA draft board that prices picks in points.

How is a player ranked?

Sleeper already ships per-game counting stats. Season value is that rate × eGP. Surplus does not run the football house model on basketball, so there is no published accuracy percentage for NBA. Surv% uses ADP and rival starting slots. 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. Optional read-only Sleeper follow is available for NBA.
