Help needed with auction draft !

[AlexG]

I'm going to play 12 teams 5X5, 260 $ league
Never done auction draft before
Would you give me a hint, or pm to me a recent drafted team with
actual $ spent at the draft for players ?
AM I asking too much?
Thank you all !
PS.I'm not asking to copy your team
just to get an idea about price I could spend on player ,etc
Thanks again

You're asking a lot Alex. Most auctions are long and tedious and a ton of fun but everyone unfolds a little differently.

The things that go into an auction are questions like . Is this a keeper league, what positions and players are being kept and at what prices, what will inflation be based on these factors, how much will most owners spend, what will it take for me to finish in the top three in each category.

Generally in an auction league you want to ensure a couple of things. Just in general.

1. Don't punt any category.
2. Don't overpay for anyone. If others are overbidding early then wait for the value. Winning an auction league is about getting more money out of your players than you put in.
3. Build around solid hitting but make sure you get one proven SP and one proven closer. You may have to overpay slightly for these two.
4. Make a projected budget for each player and track to see if owners are overpaying.
5. Have fun
