My friends play Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Draft every season. Let me translate American friends, think Fantasy Football but with Soccer. Anyways, I've refused to join for the past 7 years because I always end up drafting a player from a rival team. Inevitably, somewhere along mid-season I find myself rooting for that player against my favorite team, Manchester United. The guilt eats me alive. It's awful.<br><br>

This year, I caved. We go through the draft and I don't recognize 90% of the players. Despite my struggles I land a decent team. I think to myself, "I think I got this."<br><br>

*Wrong.*<br><br>

I lose the first week's matchup 41-38. I realize that I can't do this by myself. So, I turn to the internet and all it's wisdom. I find a pretty nifty website, Rotowire. They have rankings and projections every week that helps clueless people like me pick their teams.<br><br>

Awesome! Now I can just cross check players against Rotowire projections and pick up free agents and build the statistically best team. Easy peasy, right?<br><br>

*Wrong.*<br><br>

Going back and forth from the Fantasy Premier League Draft website and Rotowire website is tedious. It involves a series of Ctrl+F commands. I get tired of it easily. Then I remember something, "Hey, I know how to code. Maybe I can just make a chrome extension to overlay the Rotowire projections on the FPL Draft website right?"<br><br>
