I don't know why I did this (and spent quite a bit of time on it) but here is a pairwise matrix of which drafter along the rows had how many picks for nth player before each of the other along the column for their nth player. So I picked 6 players before ataraxia while he picked 5 before me. Overall I had advantage over him.

On the whole, I had advantage over 6 drafters. Most drafters anyone had advantage over was weldone with 8. And least drafters anyone had advantage over was Line and Length against only 1. This despite being the very first in the draft order.

There are many circular relationships too. For example Line and Length was advantaged over Margrat Garlick (6) who in turn was advantaged over Michaelf7777777 (6) who in turn was advantaged over Line and Length!

Here let me explain @trundler. Below are the overall positions for LL and MG over the entire draft. LL picked his 1st, 2nd, 3rd players before MG picked his 1st, 2nd, 3rd players. But MG picked 4th to 8th players before LL picked his corresponding players. For 9th to 11th player, LL was again before MG. On the whole LL picked 6 players before MG picked corresponding players and therefore has advantage over MG (6/11 > 50%)

Drafter 2

Is LL before MG?
