I use the following R code to optimize Soccer lineups for my fantasy sports league. It has been working great up until now, but a new wrinkle has been added into the list of constraints that I would like to resolve.
A lineup consists of 8 players. 1GK, 2D, 2M, 2F, & 1 Util.
When creating the model Matrix, I now have to account for hybrid player positions such as M/F or D/M
In R what is the correct way to add a 1 in the column for M and a 1 in the column for F if a players position is M/F? Is this the correct approach to resolve this or should I be looking at other ideas.
Working Solver code with GK D M F positions accounted for but not D/M or M/F
df <- read.csv("players.csv",encoding = "UTF-8")
mm <- cbind(model.matrix(as.formula("FP~Pos+0"), df))
mm <- cbind(mm, mm, 1, df$Salary, df$Salary, df$FP)
colnames(mm) <- c("D", "F", "GK", "M", "D", "F", "GK", "M", "tot", "salary", "minSal", "FP")
mm <- t(mm)
obj <- df$FP
dir <- c("<=", "<=", "<=", "<=", ">=", ">=", ">=", ">=", "==", "<=", ">=", "<=")
x <- 20000
vals <- c()
ptm <- proc.time()
for(i in 1:5){
rhs <- c(3, 3, 1, 3, 2, 2, 1, 2, 8, 50000, 49500, x)
lp <- lp(direction = 'max',
objective.in = obj,
all.bin = T,
const.rhs = rhs,
const.dir = dir,
const.mat = mm)
vals <- c(vals, lp$objval)
x <- lp$objval - 0.00001
df$selected <- lp$solution
lineup <- df[df$selected == 1, ]
lineup = subset(lineup, select = -c(selected))
lineup <- lineup %>%
arrange(Pos)
print("---- Start ----")
print(i)
print(lineup)
print(sum(lineup$FP))
print(mean(lineup$own, na.rm = TRUE))

By using an empty matrix and filling the rows with the correct values for each position I was able to get this to work.
