breakeven.

i know it's too early in the season, but im struggling to grasp the concept of breakeven. please explain?

basically, not really a term you have to worry about until after a player has played their second game. After a players 3rd game, their price begins to rise and fall in value week by week depending on their score, the 'break even' is the score a player would need to achieve in order to 'break even' or maintain their current price.

for instance, barlows breakeven by the end of round 2 last year was something ridiculous like -90 because he'd been doing so well for a rookie priced, while hargraves was something like 160 because he'd been scoring so poorly for an expensive player.

hope that clears it up :)

plays with minus breakevens have more value to be had... players with high breakevens will drop in value... so generally buy with low be and sell once a player reaches 0 if they are a cash cow, and if you want to buy a good player cheaper you have to wait for the be to bottom out.

so basically you'd trade out a rookie once they hit around about 60-70 breakeven???

[Ziplock]

depends on their average...

for instance, like pods/barlow, you wouldnt trade out with a 60/70 breakeven, because their average was so much higher.

in most cases this is true

Sell when you think they can no longer maintain there break-even as this is when they ll start declining in cash

What everyone is saying is correct about the breakevens.

or if there is another good rookie on the bubble, or you dont think your cash cow will be making money quickly ebough for your liking.

just to clarify when a player hits 0 b/e shouldn't they keep on rising up? therefore don't trade until they hit their peak :)

Yea Wes has slipped up there. He means to say sell once their BE is around the same as their avg.
