2024 Redraft Game Plan: The Upside Mega-Tiers Combine Optimism and Humility to Crush Your League

August 17, 2024

Shawn Siegele breaks down his 2024 redraft plan and discusses the benefits of mixing humility and optimism through the “upside tiers.”

Earlier this season, I wrote about the tier-based philosophy that will help you crush best ball leagues. As we’re about to reach peak redraft season, we can apply a tweaked approach to defeating your co-workers, besting your in-laws and cousins, embarrassing your college friends, and taking down huge tournaments.

By building a plan that deploys the upside-oriented Mega-Tiers, you’ll unlock the power of humility in an explosive cocktail of patience and swing-for-the-fences league-winning selections.

In today’s exercise, I’m going to combine my philosophy on upside-based tiers with a look at the Apex Experts League. And we’re going to use the insights from the best analysts in the world to put together a plan for absolutely crushing your draft.

But this is not a draft recap. I will be pointing to 2024 draft trends and mentioning examples from an elite industry draft, but in this piece I’m unveiling my mega-tiers at each position and crafting a blueprint for winning 2024 redraft leagues.
