Is it worth leaving say 100k in the bank before round 1 ?

[Holz]

For me money sitting in the bank is wasted points. I spend unroll there is no way I can improve my team. Have faith in your rookie picks and if you do make a mistake than double trade instead of maybee doing a single trade with the cash in the bank.

This is if you go for overall.

You have to go all out, which means trade hard and get as many points as possible out on the field.

Agree H, but what about for this first round coming up?

I think a small slush fund (or a plan to liquidate someone) to cover the 2nd weekend is worth considering.

I have a definite aversion to donuts.

As you say though - dollars = points.

I reckon there is merit in holding 40-50k for the split round. If u are completely happy with ur team.
In saying that I probably wont

I feel you should be able to survive the first 2 rounds. I double traded round 3 last year and have no issue doing it again. Never cop a donut if you can avoid it. I'll burn trades before I waste points.

40k is the absolute maximum. I usually go in with under 15k.

I plan to have zero dollars at the end of round 1.

I plan to have a small amount to use after the first weekend of the first round.

I'm thinking similarly to this, these split rounds are a freaking nightmare.

I agree with Holzman too, need to spend your $10mil otherwise that rookie scoring 50points could have been a mid scoring 80points or even a prem scoring over 100points...

I've got plenty to spare atm, just waiting to find out which rookies won't play and adjust my team to a mid/prem where needed... esp with the rolling lockout makes it so much easier to chop'n'change...

At this time I  have about 250K in the bank but that is only till I see part 2 of round 1 teams named and will use it up or most of it then

[felsty]

The right answer is there is no right answer, but I think you would be mad not to have $20-$60k left in your kitty over the split opening round. The hardest thing is sticking to your guns, if last year for me is anything to go by (Had Kommer but left him out for Crouch who was a slow burn, sticking with Zorko etc). Money is needed to correct this, particularly with the rookies.

After Round 1 though and definitely after Round 3 majority of money should be out in your park to invest

Will be keeping about $50k if I can.  Seriously don't want to get left with a rookie or mid pricer that I feel needs a "correction trade" in rd 2 or 3 only to be left $5k short of a player I want to trade him to and have no options!

[eaglesman]

I had 150k plus before last night ... i now have 24k

I have 4 players that are of my most concern to this stage and happy to say they are not at d5d6 f5f6 :)
