Local guest state No trackers Published methodology Works offline

Use Surplus when you want every pick priced in points — projections, value over baseline, and the ADP gap, on the board itself. Use Sleeper when the job is to run the official league draft with the rest of the room.

Side by side

Surplus

What: A draft board that prices picks in points.
Price: Free at surplus.football. Guest drafts stay in this browser. Surv% and Δ pick lock behind a free sign-up.
Best for: Seeing Proj, VOB, Tier, ADP, and the ADP gap while you pick.
Room: HDMI or cast the tab running the board. The commissioner records picks on that machine. There is no shareable room URL. Optional read-only Sleeper follow.
Value: Yes. Proj, VOB, Tier, ADP, Δ pick, Surv%, and Inj sit on the board. Scarcity shows how many players are still above replacement.
