MAGIC NUMBER

[DT-SC]

What do people predict next year magic number will be?

[DT87]

If it is kept approximately in proportion with the rising salary cap, which I think is likely, it will be about 5100.

[Torpedo10]

I reckon around 5200.

Its the way they calculate the players' prices at the start of each year, they multiply the players' last year average by the magic number.. so if a player averages 100 and the magic number is 5,000 that makes it 5,000 x 100 = $500,000.  They change it each year in correlation with player salary cap increases or decrease it like in 2010 for the expanded bench to allow us to select 33 players instead of 30

5000ish....

it was approx 4950 this year, cant see it being any less, unless they go back to a 3 bench players per position. According to fanplanner we will have 9.139 million, which is a rise of $359000. Based on the rise and if its still 30 man squads the magic number will be approximately 5150.
