And here the skill drops in. The question is: “How doI find undervalued Players that can replace underperforming players on my team?”

• Know your underperformers
  1. for this you must define a meaningfull metrix, e.g. WAR per 600 PA forbatters, WAR per 200 IP for pitchers, but take whatever you like
  2. you also need the statistics for at least 1000 IP and 3000 PA, socollect them in a spreadsheet over several seasons
• Know the undervalued players
  1. For this you have to collect the player-data of the other teams in yourleagues
  2. You will get a metrix value and names, for these names you can search theprices in the AH
  3. Identify the positions, where your players suck and there is a highdifference to otherwise relatively cheap players from above
• Spent the minimum PP for the highest difference in pop

Some further thoughts:

• 1. Pitchers like Corbin, Dierker, Whitley, Kopech are way cheaper than10.000, have a look at them
  2. Batters like Ichiro, Simmons, Vizquel, McReynolds are way cheaper than2.000, Martinez is a mega-bargain, have a look at them
  3. As for catchers go with Realmuto since the catchers all suck (except thetotally overpriced ones)

You should get with the strategy eventually to Gold,maybe Diamond; for Diamond maybe Perfect you must dive a bit deeperunfortunately
