How do you come up with a plan in cap leagues?
Hi guys,
General question : How do you figure out your course of action year after year? I'm trying to figure out what to do and if I need some quinquennial plan or what not to continue thriving in the league.
Some background in my particular case :
The league I'm in started a few years ago and at the time my plan was simple : Build the best team to win it now. I think I've managed to do so (not sure if helpful, but humble brag : 3 times in a row defending champ ). I'm now at a point where salaries of my top core players far outweigh their production. I'm wondering if a rebuild is necessary or if I should fight it off and risk finishing middle of the pack.
- Currently sitting at 50M (!!!!!) over our cap
- A certain team in the league has gone all-in in the offseason and is projected well above everyone else in points when using Dobber projections.
At the moment, I would rank similar to this team for total points, but I need to shed 50M cap, which will reduce production significantly.
I believe I should be in the top 7 after the purge, with a shot at fourth position at best if my strategy is to make most points this year
- Notable big contracts that seem to outweight production(we use SALARIES, not AAV):
Auston Matthews (15.9M), Brayden Point ?? (~10M, TBD), Mark Stone (12M), Sergei Bobrovsky (11.5M), Max Pacioretty (10.5M), Evgeni Malkin (9.5M), Anders Lee (9M), Esa Lindell (7M)
What would you do in my situation? Complete rebuild? Try again this year with moves/trades to improve my cap situation? Something else?
Thanks!
