About these numbers
Figures cover every PPFL team with a locked lineup for that round. "Picked by" counts teams with the driver in either of their two driver slots. The active managers view on the interactive page counts only teams that have changed their lineup this season or whose manager has signed in during the last 30 days. Nothing is published for a round before teams lock, and league-level breakdowns are only shown to league members.
