About - Survive The Chop

What is Survive the Chop?

Survive the Chop is the first AI-powered assistant specifically designed for guillotine fantasy football leagues. We help you navigate the unique challenges of this high-stakes format where the lowest-scoring team is eliminated each week.

Why We Built It

Guillotine leagues are incredibly exciting but notoriously difficult to manage. Unlike traditional fantasy football, every week is an elimination game, and FAAB (Free Agent Acquisition Budget) management becomes critical for survival. We saw fantasy players struggling with:

Knowing how much to bid on waiver wire players
Understanding their survival probability each week
Managing their FAAB budget throughout the season
Making data-driven decisions under pressure

That's why we created Survive the Chop - to give you the analytical edge you need to outlast your competition.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: help guillotine league players make smarter decisions and have more fun. We believe that advanced analytics shouldn't be reserved for DFS pros or statisticians. Every fantasy player deserves access to powerful tools that level the playing field.

How It Works

We integrate directly with your fantasy leagues to provide:

FAAB Recommendations: AI-powered bid suggestions based on historical data and current league dynamics
Survival Analysis: Monte Carlo simulations running 20,000+ scenarios to calculate your survival probability
Optimal Lineups: Automatic lineup optimization based on projections and scoring settings
Strategic Insights: Position-specific recommendations based on your risk level

Our Technology

We've analyzed thousands of guillotine league transactions to build our proprietary FAAB algorithm. Our system considers multiple factors including:

Player tier and positional value
Your current roster composition
Remaining FAAB budget across the league
Week of the season and urgency level
Historical bidding patterns

The result? Survival projections and FAAB guidance grounded in real historical bidding data from guillotine leagues — not gut feel.
