*NSFL S6 Budget Visualizations

[bovovovo]

I made some Sankey Diagrams to visualize each NSFL team's budgets, so we can see how much each team is spending in different areas and how budgets are being used.

Disclaimers and Method: There's some complexities with categorizing some stuff, and different teams categorize things differently in their budgets (especially when one team is covering the cap of a player on a different team). Instead of trying to figure all that out I just went by what was on the team's budget sheet. So if anything looks like a discrepancy it's just because teams budget things differently. Or maybe I made a mistake. That's possible too.

I used SankeyMatic to make these.

Observations

~The Outlaws are spending the most on their OL, spending $32.5m
~The team spending the most on their Offense is the Otters, spending $48.5m, while the team spending the least is the Liberty at $36.5m
~Teams are spending much less on defense than they are on offense, due to the OL bots
~The team spending the least on Defense is NOLA who is spending $20.5m, the Sabercats are spending the most at $30m though the Wraiths and Hawks aren't too far behind, both spending $29m
~The Hawks Are spending $17.5m on their DBs, much more than any other non-OL position group. Comparatively, the Yeti are only spending $6m on their DBs
~The Yeti are also only spending $4.5m on their WRs, though the Outlaws are only spending $5m as well
~The Liberty have the most cap tied up in Miscellaneous spending at $7m, due to penalties and position switches (this is actually $7,000,002), though NOLA is spending $6.5m on miscellaneous costs (including trading away cap space and position switches)
~The Hawks have the most currently unused cap at $6.5m, and Liberty and NOLA both have $4.5m free


If you want to compare these to last season, you can find last season's budget visualizations here (the Wraiths and Legion had some wacky ones)

That is dope, definitely going to use that tool too.

It would be interesting to see total amount of players at each position too.

btw. DBs = Safeties + CBs?

Yup. I combined DBs and DLs together because teams use them interchangeably pretty often

That's a good idea to show number of players at each position too. If I can find a good way to display that without it looking cluttered I'll definitely see if I can add it

NOLA has a rather young defense.
