A league-average player in Legends might be a star on many league 6 teams. I've tried to calculate something WAR-like based on the stats we have, and I gave up when I found there was next to no information available to calculate a reasonable defensive WAR. The offensive component should be relatively easy to calculate for yourself by using averages from the league stats page. Updated Monday, July 6 2015 @ 3:25:24 pm PDT
