Auction league allocation (1 Viewer)

[mrgerty]

I'm interested to find out what percentages everybody allocates funds by position, and more importantly, a rationale for why they do so.

Obviously this depends upon how many positions you need to fill, so please give a description of your league's roster size for the auction. For example, my league needs to fill 2 QB, 3RB, 3WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1D, 1 "Back," 1 "Receiver," and 1 Utility spot. I have to allocate my funds over 14 positions. Not looking for assistant coach type help. I want to see how you all do this for your teams.

The best way to do it would be to look at the scoring for your league from last year and allocate the budgets for each position relative to the scoring in your league - so if RB points (for starters) was 57% of all FF points, you would allocate 57% of you budget (to start with) for RB. Get them all done and then you may need to round down depending again on what normally happens in your league's auctions.

We start:1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF, 1 ultimate flex10 starting positions, PPR. 5 bench.12 teams - experienced$200 auction + $200 for claims during the season.With that, I would strongly recommend 75-80% on RBs. Corner the market if you can and corner it early. Keep them until at least week 3 when bye weeks hit and start making deals to the folks who are dying at RB. Look hard at buying at least one "aging starter" and making him the player you trade early. Warrick Dunn types (someone is going to pull some meaningless stat to say why this isn't a good example....relax, its just for perspective) who shine big early and develop trade value. Then make a deal for a talented but underperforming WR.You can always find a filler at WR during the season, but RBs are the most valuable of commodities. See the roster below, that's what I ended up with by using a similar strategy (with a bunch of trades).
