Effective Auction Strategy
A flexible budgeting approach is key for successful auction drafting. Initially, it is beneficial to allocate funds for two high-quality players, typically in the $100 to $110 range, which secures strong starters. Having a remaining budget of around $90 to $100 allows for the opportunity to bid on value players as the auction progresses. This strategy helps ensure that most of the allocated money goes to starting players, maintaining a competitive lineup while allowing for depth through undervalued picks.
