Landed on this. Im going for players i rate as underpriced. I could probably afford a few extra true guns if i changed structure but im happy with this, mostly.

Am i correct in saying that players who play 3 games in round 1 will have a price change whereas those that play less than 3 wont? If so that adds even more incentive to get the best players who start with 3 games in round 1. That said, there is still reason to pick players with less than 3 games for sure!

I like the balance of my team but i will need several players to perform well above their price point to be competitive. I figure ill have a look at all my players and work out who is going to step up and who i can cut and ill probably use a boost or 2 straight out of the gates if - as im expecting - some of these mid-pricers dont come on.

I like the challenge of giving it a go though instead of picking household names and rookies. With so many trades i can always adjust but i may start slow if the strategy doesnt pay dividends.

Just over 1 Mil in the bank

This is me as it stands, first time playing. Wanted Doncic over Haliburton but worried he ends up missing some time with the calf injury.
Other player I'm most keen on who I don't have is Poole, but don't want to start any more with only 2 games rd 1 so will bring him in for rd 2 or 3 if he goes as well as I'm expecting. Maxey also of interest but also avoiding to start because of fixture.

How much do prices tend to change after the first week for the 3 gamers?
Probably just over $1M for rookies, less for more senior players. The price change will vary based on the player's current price and the scores they get.

You should have access during preseason and the first two rounds to last year's stats for any player by clicking on their name if you want more idea.

Thanks. Is there a way to see their round by round price changes though? Just trying to get a sense of the volume

Okay, have done some research around the fixture, and come back with the following v2. Have some concerns around Thompson from Houston, Miller, and Kuminga starting though. Can anyone give me some reassurance against a NBA site which shows them not in the starting lineups.

Player prices change after the 3rd game played ...

- so any that start with 2 games you get a free look and can trade them in round 2 ...
- hence why most teams aren't starting with Poole, Simmons, Edwards, Bridges etc ...
- also someone like Maxey who only plays 2 games in round 2 would usually be an automatic trade out for one of them etc ...

So Edwards, Bridges, Maxey, Poole could also be Bane, LAVine and ?? etc ..

Points lost can be very hard to make up ... just gotta maximise the schedule ..

I'd swap Edwards and Haliburton for another combo ...

- like both of them but not for round 1 ...

Yeah okay. Thinking Booker in for Haliburton then. Unsure on any of the options for Edwards though, Markkannen maybe? Also thinking Kuminga in for Miller as I'm pretty unsold on Miller and he only has 2 games R1..
