Best Strategy for Auctions

[Shanemansj13]

I have my very first auction draft tomorrow.

I already selected 8 keepers and minor leaguers.

I have $140 of my total $260 budget available. I used $120 on 8 keepers.

I need a total of 13 players.
C, SS, 3B, OF, UTIL, 2 RP’s, 6 bench
I plan on using 2 bench players for BPA positional players and 4 SP’s.

This is a daily league.

I laid out a budget per position but it is hard to budget for an auction. I was thinking going after a $20, $30 and $40 player (for example) then using the rest to fill in the other positions. I’m sure some will be filled with $1-$5 priced players.
I would think a catcher and RP’s won’t cost much unless you are going for top tier.

So what is the best strategy?

best strategy is flexibility... decide whether you want to be the heavy spender for the better available players... no clue how much they will go for, as every league is different...

personally, I am a fan of spending for the elite guys... there will be lots of value players later on... especially at catcher and RP...
