The Whiskey League

Across Every Season, 2015–Present

All-Time

Career records, head-to-head, and who's actually been the best over the life of the league — not just this year. Stats follow the manager, so a roster that passed to a new person only counts toward the years that person actually played it. Updates in real time as the current season is played.

Descriptive, not causal. Expected performance is based on the league-wide Early/Middle/Late results corresponding to each manager's own draft-slot mix — not the league average overall.

Draft Resilience

How managers with real Late-draft experience actually performed those years, compared to the league-wide Late-draft average.

Minimum 2 Late drafts to qualify. With only 11 seasons of history, 2 is the real floor — marked below — while 3+ is a decent chunk of a manager's career and reads normally.

Does FAAB Spending Matter?

Additional Analysis →

FAAB data covers Sleeper seasons only (2019–2025), regular-season spend only — playoff-phase FAAB is excluded. The budget itself changed too: $1,000 in 2019–2020, $400 from 2021 on — so a manager's dollar average can land above $400 even though no single season ever let them spend more than that year's own cap. Win %, playoff appearances, finals, titles, and GOATs below are scoped to those same seasons, not a manager's whole career, so the comparison is apples-to-apples.

Every column here — not just Avg FAAB — is scoped to Sleeper seasons only, so a manager's pre-Sleeper years never dilute the comparison. FAAB itself is regular-season spend only; playoff-phase spending is excluded. The budget also changed over time ($1,000 in 2019–2020, $400 since 2021), so Avg FAAB can land above $400 without any single season having exceeded its own cap.
