Potential Bargains for your Fantrax EPL Auction Drafts

As we mentioned in our article highlighting essential strategies you should use to maximize your auction drafts, I'm a strong proponent of making a premium asset a priority for your fantasy roster. It is also a good move to let some high-potential players slip through the cracks until the late stages of the draft when at least a few of your fellow managers will have exhausted their budgets. Taking the opposite strategy and building a balanced squad of not-quite-elite but also not bottom-of-the-barrel punts is a completely viable strategy as well, but in keeping with the "Draft for first or last, not mid-table" mantra, I think the more top-end potential you can add to your squad, the better. In order to do that and not hamstring your squad by filling it with a bunch low-value or extremely high-risk players, you'll need to be savvy with holding onto your remaining funds and spending them on the right types of players who have the potential to exceed expectations.
