JaguarCrazy2832 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Year 3 in our auction league and everyone that joined is hooked. I'm wondering what strategies you guys have for this year? I tend to spend 75% of my budget on 3 players(usually 2 WRs and 1 RB) but I'm wondering if the value(specifically RB is more at the $30 range) where is should spend so more like 75-80% on 4 players Thoughts?

Assuming this is redraft? You have 2 years of track record. Look back to see how the top teams in the regular season are constructed. Is it a couple studs with high price tags then scraps, OR good value players on modest contracts. How the overall league tends to go after the studs is an important way to look at this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still my preferred style, but most avoid it. I tried to set a budget for each position and a dollar value for within a position. Say 200 in total to spend. 40-45 % for RB 40-45% for WR 10-12 for TE 5-10 for QB Within that Rb1 at 25-30% Rb2 10% Rb3 3-5% Rest $1 Have your targeted players at each position and be willing to go a little more for some if you feel the value is still good. But know when to drop out if it gets over your price. My experience was that the better teams at year end found value at QB and TE and spent elsewhere. Found 2-3 breakout players for great value at WR and rb. And do a lot of mock auctions. Get comfortable with dropping out on some players vs chasing Barkley for $100+ and being left with a mediocre team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like this year RB is deep so spending 50+ on any 1 back might not be the best idea but there are several good #2 RB options so you might be able to snag 2 of those for the cost of Barkley and then get 2 elite WRs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Thought I’d give this a bump. My draft is this Saturday. I cant help but feel like going all in on starters and saying screw most of the BE spots is the way to go especially since the WW is FAAB anyways Thoughts?

JaguarCrazy2832 Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 Looks like ESPN has increased the value of everyone pretty much which sucks because i had a plan i really liked based on that but now people will think certain guys i love are worth alot more than what they were going for last week. Sony Michel was $16 a few days ago and now is $30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a4ce Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Just did our draft yesterday. Spent 75% on three players, McCaffery, Conner, and Cook right off the bat. My strategy is to go hard on the RBs. I think the WR depth is good enough to find some viable options. Teams are using more 3 and 4 WR sets. This and $1.50 will get you a cup of coffee at 7-11.

I did my money league yesterday and spent the bulk on McCaffery, OBJ, and JuJu. It does suck sitting around for a while for others to spend their money. Here is my final squad. QB Aaron Rodgers, Kirk Cousins RB McCaffery, White, Brieda, Murray, Darwin WR OBJ, Juju, Hardman, Desean Hamilton, Keesean Johnson, N'Keal Harry TE Andrews, Hockensen (likely dropping one of them for Goedert) some IDP players all for $1. Pretty much I got the three studs and Rodgers and the rest was scraping together 3 and 4$ players. I wish I wouldn't have spent the money on JuJu and split that between RB2 and WR2. I could have had something like Diggs and Mack for a similar price to JuJu and White which I think would be a better combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I like to nominate high-priced players I'm NOT interested in drafting. Take away $$$ from opposition for guys I'm not interested in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i kind of like throwing out DST/Kickers just to see if someone gets suckered in to spending more than $1...like I’ll take the Bears DST for $1 but not more so whoever puts them up wont get a bid from me. I think putting guys you love early is way too dangerous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
