I’m looking for input on whether or not this is a stupid way to go about estimating auction values – as a starting point. I have the results (prices)of the last 3 years worth of auctions. I then sort all the prices from highest to lowest within each position (all player names are irrelevant at this point) and average them between the 3 years. Then I take my own rankings/projections and copy them straight over to lineup with the average price. E.G., The avg. price paid for the most expensive QB has been $68. So, if Peyton is my #1 ranked QB, his value will start at $68. The prices will decrease from there according to QB2, QB3, etc…. Apply this theory to all positions. I will use that as a “base” value for each player since this is factoring in the spending tendencies of my own league. Then, I can have a separate column to set my “true” value for each player by either adjusting the given value up or down from that base value.
I realize this method may be simplified to the point of being worthless and since I’ve made no mention of VBD or ADP or DD or baselines or XYZDPDQ, I should be embarrassed to consider myself a FBG.
Thoughts?
