Default Re: Fantasy auction values

Figuring out values this way isn't quite as easy or accurate as it is for Rotisserie Baseball. This is because in baseball, all 25 of your players play each week and accumulate points. So if you have a starter who hits 30 HR and a reserve who hits 5, they end up with the same contribution to your team as a starter who hits 20 and a reserve who hits 15.

In FF, it's different because you have players who don't play each week: if your starting QB throws 30 TD and your backup throws 5, you're much better off than if your starter throws 20 and your backup throws 15.

In your example, you're only concerned with startes, so the way you figure these numbers out is this:
<ul type="square">[*]Find the difference in points between the bottom player at each position and each of the players above him on the list. This gives you the relative point total per player[*]Add the relative point totals together.[*]Assign each player a $1 value.[*]Divide the remaining available salary money by the total from the step above. This gives you a dollar value per relative point.[*]Multiply each players relative point total by the dollar value per point you obtained in the step above and add it to his $1 salary[/list]
