EP4: INFLATION VALUES FOR AUCTION KEEPER LEAGUES
INFLATION VALUES- how to prep for drafts with owners having keepers whose values are above/below the market value. I go over how to set the inflation rate for the draft and how to use that as a tool in rostering the best talent for your team.
I go over :
Average Auction Values
INFLATED values
League specific value
Positional scarcity value
ROTOLAB software
This episode introduces some key tactics to employ versus your league mates in order to crush your draft. Understanding what inflation is in auction keeper leagues and how it is crucial in determining the value of the player pool for your specific draft. I also go over why knowing the tendencies of other owners is just as crucial as understanding the player pool.
