Where to Start

The reason it is so important to understand — and avoid — that second mistake discussed in the last lesson (focusing too heavily on points-per-dollar) is because this approach will often lead to an entire team of mid-priced players.

More often than not, mid-priced players will be the guys likeliest to hit the points-per-dollar multiplier you are targeting!

You might be wondering why that’s a bad thing.

You’re in luck! Because I am going to tell you.

As you pay attention to player pricing, you will start to discover that the higher-priced players are not priced at a higher level because they necessarily have a higher floor than the mid-priced guys, but instead, these higher-priced guys are usually priced where they are because they have a substantially higher ceiling than the mid-priced guys!

“You’re saying these high-priced guys have a lower points-per-dollar floor, right? That’s not good, is it?”

In a fundamental sense, no. That’s not good.

But this is where understanding “Where to start” becomes so tremendously valuable.
