    Do you guys have troublewith 'leaving money on the table'?

    Let's say you are entered in a 20+2 dollar daily league.
    The salary cap for your league is $110,000.

    You put together a line up you absolutlely love, the total salary is $98,000 for your team you just put together.
    You are under the cap by $12,000, but you don't want to tweak anything, you got the players you want at all the postions, but you still have 12K to play with.

    Do you hit the 'submit' button, and leave the 12K salary cap room 'on the table', knowing this is the team you want to go to war with tonight?

    Do you have a problem with leaving unused cap money on the table?

    It's not the end of the world, I'd just do a double check to make sure I'm not leaving something better on the table.

    yeah I always try to use up the cap. But honestly I think that could be my downfall on many nights trying to find a higher value player instead of just keeping what I like

    Have the courage of your convictions, your best team doesn't get better just because you spent extra money. Ask the Dodgers and Angels

    Dammit! This was the exact analogy I was going to use.

    Well done.

    I left 23K on the table the other night, loved my team, could have upgraded for the sake of upgrading, did not, and finished 8th in a 250 GPP.
    Nice cash.

    Don't care if the best team available to me is 91 percent of the cap allowed.

    Choose your best players for that day regardless of the limit. As long as you are below, then you are fine
