WAR Budget Draft in Custom league
WAR Budget Draft in Custom league
Couple of questions on doing a favorite team WAR budget draft in our custom league
1. Do I need to populate the player base like normal or will each team see their full allotment of eligible players from the selected franchise regardless?
2. Can I adjust the total budget for the draft? It is currently at 45 WAR which feels low.

Hi there - no need to import players, just turn On the Fav Teams Budget draft in the Set Auto and Supplemental draft page.
You can customize the budget only if you use team budgets. So you would check the box on that page, and then you have to edit each team to make sure they have the budget you want. If you're doing the same budget for every team, you can go to the Bulk Update page in commish tools and #7 on that page allows you to set all team budgets at once.
I should also mention, make sure your years are set as you want in the League Settings page, because that will determine which years are available for the budget draft.

Thanks for those details!
Does a players WAR number actually play into the sim at all or is it just for budgeting purposes? There are lots of guys with lower WAR that happened to play less games that season, but have great stats in that smaller sample size.

Well, dWAR obviously matters for defense, but oWAR only matters if you choose to use WAR for the On Fire factor.
If you are concerned about lower stat players, it might be worth turning on Endurance. But I would say overall, the WAR number is more used as a budget figure for Fav Teams, so yes there are "steals" you can find with low WAR players.

Re: WAR Budget Draft in Custom league
One more quick question (thanks for answering all my questions)
I had the idea to open the draft room back up at the midway point of the season to allow folks to make changes to their team, with no FA available. Would this break things? I’m worried that if someone removes a player from their roster who has accrued stats, unselecting them from the draft screen will remove them from the player pool and mess up team stats or past game results. Is this the case?

@wangosz yes, it is not built to run mid-season and deleting players would mess up stats/box scores, etc.
