I guess I got a bargain. Mine would have been $221 in Tiger.

. Which caused their cost to increase considerably in some cases.


I definitely see that with some of my 2nd tier guys (Adams, Montgomery)

McBride was quite expensive for y'all as well

Based on this the only player I “overpaid” for was CMC.

But he went (in Tiger) for the same cost as Chase Brown & Jon Taylor. Josh Jacobs got a premium there.

If CMC is healthy most of this season STTBD got great value.

It just seems Tiger had 9 or 10 guys all go pure tier based strategy. So many of the bids ended up between 2 guys very early instead of having 4 guys going at it. I know I was willing to let some guys go because I felt I could get another player in the same tier for cheaper. In the past I've just paid up for the 2 or 3 guys that I wanted and let the rest fall, but I tried something different this year.

The only two I specifically targeted were Egbuka and Jameson. That's the main reason Jameson went for so much. The other guy wanted him more and had the budget to spare.

I didn't mean to draft Saquon, and that $ hurt when I was trying to get a couple of 2nd/3rd round RBs. I was clicking at like $57 because I knew he would hit $60. Suddenly I had him for $61.

Not a big deal as I like him and that's where he should be. Just not the build i was going for.

One of the guys in Tiger was trying to drive up the price on Josh Allen and ended up getting him for $30. Not bad value at all, only problem was he already had Hurts for $20.

25% of your budget on 2 QBs in a full PPR league stings.

I was curious how he got both of those.

Aye.

I bid up Achane and "got caught". TDFL is an amazing testament for true FF prowess.

I love other friends strategy so much... you never know in a league like this.

Manual bid got me on CMC.

It went from $25 to $55

I don't remember who, but I fricked up someone by manually entering an amount.

I don't even do this to specifically "bid up" guys, bust just to save time. Don't frick around with a guy like Barkley in the 20s. Start in the mid-40s or 50s and save some time.

They got caught after I did that and thought they had connection issues

I did get caught bidding up Nabors, but $51 isn't too bad for him.

Didn't you 4 QB once?

I did a 4 QB by accident (not paying attention/life stuff) and Voodoo called me out (love that bro, we play in so many leagues), and I was like you know SFP drafts QBs and wins TDFL.

If you get it, you get it.

I’ll bid up obvious guys who will go $40+ when dudes are bumping the bid $1 from a starting bid of $1.

I’ll update the OP on who has paid and those still missing later.

100%

I get caught bidding up guys too often, but am usually okay if I win.

Last season I got Josh for ~$17 and was kind of pissed.

Yeah I used to just go with value for value's sake.

Traditionally I did that until this year (where I went with a more polarized approach), but I would not over-buy QBs. Typically I will pay top money for a QB or TE. The last time I won, I had both (Mahomes and Kelce, IIRC, but I was a year ahead of TEs getting premium bidding).

I did have a good team last year with the value approach but injuries fricked me. In the Sleeper Auction league (RIP), too.

I play in a 16-team league with team QBs, and I'm known for drafting 3 in that one. The QB out-scores all other positions, so if you have a bye week without a QB you're losing.

Can be revived next year I bet. Start organizing earlier

As for this league....completely whiffed on the tier 1 guys and just did my best after that. A bit disappointed. Then again I've loved my teams after drafts and they ended up being arse.

I'm the guy who overpaid and you sent the extra back.

The TD Sleeper Auction leave may be back up, but I think we need a couple.
