[P] Something I've been tinkering with - what do you guys think of playing fantasy sports with RL? • r/MachineLearning

In Germany there also exists some manager game similar to fantasy football with soccer. I modeled the team selection as a constrained knapsack problem and optimized the team with an EA/SAT solver (maximize points for a given budget and under the game constraints). Unfortunately, I only have the points from last season and therefore I don't have any meaningful prediction model. Currently, my handpicked team outperforms the optimized team as the optimized team. Need to do some write up...
