Episode notes
Auction Drafts Are More Flexible
- Auction drafts are more flexible than snake drafts because any team can buy players rather than being forced by draft position.
- That flexibility makes being reactive and nimble the most important skill in auctions.
Know Your League Rules And Economy
- Before the draft, figure out your league settings: lineup requirements and total dollars in the auction economy.
- Adjust expectations because more teams or keepers raise market prices for non-keeper players.
Use Platform Prices As Baseline
- Research the drafting platform's listed auction prices because they often anchor real spending in your draft room.
- Mark players where platform prices diverge from your rankings to spot market inefficiencies.
