Explanation

When people look at the ownership percentages for AFL fantasy, they often wonder why the most selected players are all below 70% (people usually assume this is because there are a lot of casual or autofill teams out there). The reason for this is that a lot of teams are either missing players or are entirely empty. Fortunately there is a solution to this, I have devised the following formula to calculate a player’s true selected number:

$$(\text{Adjusted \% Ownership})=\frac{(\text{\% Ownership})}{(\text{Overall Team Completion \%})}$$

where:

$$(\text{Overall Team Completion \%})=\frac{\sum (\text{\% Ownership})}{30}$$

Note that this is a rough approximation but makes it easier to compare “apples with apples” when plotting ownership percentages over time.
