THE WIF MATRIX v1.0
Elite athletic dominance is a universal language. The WHAT IF Engine translates global soccer telemetry into the exact scoring format of traditional NFL Fantasy Football.
01. Position Classifier
A player’s traditional lineup spot is irrelevant. Our algorithm parses the telemetry to assign an NFL archetype based purely on statistical volume. If a player fights through the trenches for gritty yards like Isiah Pacheco, they are categorized as a Running Back, regardless of the jersey number they wear on the soccer pitch.
