Alright, so me and some friends have been doing our fantasy league for 5+ years. We've gotten tired of it, too much luck involved with what position you are put in drafting.
So we are deciding on an Auction League so that every player is 100% in control of the team they get. We aren't sure where to salary cap it yet, we are thinking maybe $50 for the first year. But anyways, who has done an auction league?
Any tips how to run an Auction League or an Auction team? Any experience/tips appreciated.

Well my league is a dynasty league. So roster size may be bigger than you'll be doing. We have an 18 player minimum. A 22 player maximum. We started our cap out at $100. That didn't seem like enough. Raise it to $125 in year 2. In year 3 raised it to $135 and it's been there ever since. Seems perect for our league.
If you're doing a traditional 15-16 man rosters i'd suggest $125. $50 won't nearly be enough.
This is the kind of prices you can expect. (numbers will be skewed because our rookies are only $2) ** indicates guys still on rookie contracts
14 players signed
33 years 22
$101.00 in salary $34.00 left
Brees $20/2yrs
Steven Jackson $31/3yrs
Lendale Whte $2/1 yrs**
Steve Slaton $2/3yrs **
Mike Goodson $2/4yrs**
Larry Fitzgerald $21/3yrs
isaac Bruce $1/1yr
brandon tate $2/4yrs **
Anthony Gonzalez $2/2yrs**
Santana Moss $9/2yrs
Kevin Boss $5/??yrs
Anthony Fasano $1/2yrs
Rian Lindell $1/??yrs
Seattle $2/??yrs
Auction leagues are 1,000 x funner in my opinion. Especially doing a dynasty because you A: have to build for the future as well as the present. B: From May until August we're bidding which makes the offseason go by faster
Only advice I have for running a team. Save you some money until the very very end. There are always bargains to be had after everyone else runs out of money. Then again mines is a dynasty league. So the bargain may not help us in year 1. But will eventually. either way save some money.
