Just wanted to start a topic here- what sites/projections are you all using to create your auction price sheets? Any questions or advice for those that might be overwhelmed?
Here are some of the sites/components of my personal sheets:
My league mostly went off of existing average values and gut feel, based on how the draft went last nightā¦ Though @chy924 was touting his spreadsheetā¦
I only had 5 roster spots and when I was in a bind, I looked at existing average values, knowing full well that those tend to be deflated because right now they reflect where players were kept.
But again, I only needed 5 players and the three big spends I had (Demaryius Thomas $45, Isiah Crowell $20 and Teddy Bridgewater $25) were all pretty justifiable. Spend $1 on Royce Freeman (Oregonās RB, I think I got a steal) and $8 on high-risk, medium-upside Phillip Dorsett (where an extra $1 is easily justified because of how cap penalties work) and my gut did okay.
The true āmistakesā were a couple of the players I kept, if anything.
Well, I target players based on roster/PPR, and then decide that Iām willing to pay about average value. Good enough for a first-round playoff exist last year
Well, if you donāt have a sheet prepped, there really isnāt any other way to do it, right? I keep trying to convince myself that I should go into one auction having done all my prep/sheets, but then not actually use the sheet during the auction. Just trust that I will subconsciously integrate all the information from my prep work and make bids based on intuition.
I did have a spreadsheet. Though I created it just by entering league settings at FantasyPros, which did not make Justinās list above.
And the spreadsheet was pretty accurate to what people paid, with a few exceptions. The big one being it thought AJ Green was way overpaid in our league.
in me just shuddered when you mentioned drafting by gut feel
