I've been in an PPR auction league for 4 years now and this is great! One word of advice is to NEVER put your "sleepers" up for auction. I always go with the "studs and sleepers" strategy as I like to call it. Try to get as many sure things (if you can call anyone that) then try to get some bargains later in the draft. But like I said never put your sleepers up for bid. 2 years ago I had limited funds at the end so I'm filling my roster with cheap-high quality prospects. So I put Wes Welker up because I had a "hunch" that he would have a good year. I bid $1, someone else bids $2 just to spite me and I couldn't get him because I was out of money. Needless to say in a PPR league Welker was the #1 receiver that year. I love this guide! I’ve been in an PPR auction league for 4 years now and this is great!

The one thing that I do not want to give up is the draft pick trading. How could we still allow "draft pick" trading in an auction draft? I was thinking of allowing the trading of draft dollars, but it is difficult to figure out what a fair number would be. Is there a chart that shows what $ amount would be equal to a draft pick. I.E. based on a $100 salary cap, a 1st round pick is worth $15 2nd worth $10 , etc....

Dougied, I don't pay more than $1 for any kicker either, but more than likely a lot of others will. Putting up kickers early is a good idea, I have seen the top rated ones go for $10 or more in bidding wars. And yes, same goes for defenses too - a dollar or two is the most I will pay, but the early ones up for bid will go as high as $15. Thanks everyone – glad you enjoyed it.

Quick Kicker Question. I personally would only have 1 on each team in a 16 man roster league... and I wouldn't value any of them at more than $1, so it winds up being 0.5%. Now would you recommend bidding on a kicker early like Gostkowski for reason number 6 as people will likely spend 2,3 or even more early on? Same thing with defenses.

I have been in fantasy football since 1999 and have been in an auction league for the past three years. I love the auctions they are great, and your tips are on the money. Our salary has an increase each year so $4.00 the next year is $8.00 when you get into the $20's and higher you add $14 to $19. We even get so into it that we have a rookie draft 10 days before the NFL draft. Each team gets 3 picks a 1st, 2nd, 3rd for the upcoming draft. We can also trade those picks. I am truly in a year round league and have to say this site is by far the best I have come across. No lets get those week 1 predictions under way already guys...

WOW, what a difference than sepentine drafting. I actually landed 7 starting RBs, and had trade bait all year long. As it is a keep 1-3 league with salary cap/contract terms, its going to be a very different draft than last year. X has excellently explained what possitions QB vs. RB might sell for. Having a "guided format" to follow will make it much easier this year... Especially keepers and salaries are known going into the draft. Having all this in excell and KNOWING who needs what possitions based on keeper situations and salary remaining will help me to avoid bidding was with certain owners that have more cap room than I do going into the draft... Info is helpful, knowing how to organize and use it properly is the key to success... Great article in explaing how to use the info X!
