Keep note of the salary cap. Since you will have a limited budget on your team, make sure not to spend it all on the best players because they are expensive to draft. Instead, go for a balanced fantasy team.

2). Expensive is not always better

When drafting an expensive player, search for alternatives. There are always players who are nearly as good as the one you initially chose but at half the price.

3). Go big in the first three rounds

Your first three picks should always be the best possible players, as another team maybe pick them up. After that, start looking for discounts.

4). Save your money in the last rounds

Rounds 10 through 14 are the money-saving rounds. These players won't be playing anyway, as most people adhere to 10-man rotations. The goal is to hire someone who you can develop into a solid player. But if you want to save money, just pick someone with a lower salary.

5). Search for valuable players that have good contracts and badges.

6). Make a rough list of the players you want to hire so that you have something to guide you through the process.
