Some fantasy drafting tips to keep in mind
Trying to get the best will bankrupt you
Building a fantasy team can be tough because of the number of high-quality players. You really want all of them on your team, which is obviously not possible.
Since you will have a limited budget to spend on your team, make sure to not spend it all on the best players because they are expensive to draft. Instead, go for a balanced fantasy team.
Expensive is not always better
If you draft players based on their salaries/prices, you are doing it wrong. When drafting an expensive player, search for alternatives. There are always players out there who are nearly as good as the one you initially chose but at half the price.
Go big in the first three rounds
Your first three picks should always be the best possible players around. Spend as much as you can in these rounds to draft them and not risk another team picking them up.
Save your money in the last rounds
Remember that the 10-14 drafting rounds are for players who are mostly going to be warming the bench. There is no need to draft expensive players in these rounds. Considering saving your money by drafting a player you can train to become better.
