Why You Should Spend FAB as Early as Possible

Genie is here to explain his thoughts on spending your Fantrax FAB early for those of you playing with this version of waiver claims. The Free Agent Budget is a Fantrax setting that allows managers to bid on players available on the waiver wire. Typically, every manager will start with 100 FAB and bid in increments of 1. All FAB is tradeable, adding an extra layer of strategy to Fantrax, as opposed to simply awarding the player to whoever has the highest waiver priority. Deciding how much to spend on an asset is tough, but can you still pick up decent assets when you have 0 FAB left? This article will dive into just that.
