I've read numerous articles on calculating inflation, primarily aimed at those who are new to auction leagues (specifically keeper leagues).
I believe all of them are fundamentally wrong. And I believe I'm right. I know that's extremely naive of me.
Out of curiosity though, before I tell you my ideas, what's yours. How do you calculate inflation?
For the purposes of simplicity lets take the assumption that every team will end up paying the same inflation at auction (which, if you buy expensive assets early, and then wait back for deals, on average, you do). And lets use a round number. Say 25%.
You have 3 potential keepers. Which one is more valuable?
Player X is on a $1 contract and you believe he's worth $30
Player Y is on a $8 contract and you believe he's worth $35
Player Z is on a $14 contract and you believe he's worth $40.
**Note, set aside generalities and recommendations and anecdotes, I'm interested in your objective approach, formulas, etc. I'm not interested in strategies like stars and scrubs discussions, or patterns you follow, etc.
How do you personally calculate which one is worth the most of those 3, in the abstract?
I have my way, which I believe to be correct, but you tell me how you do it first.
