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.
