(03:16)
Levels are a simple but effective way to come up with a draft strategy that ensures you don’t fall behind in any position, while maximizing return on every choice. They serve as an alternative form of leaderboards that groups players based on the expected production level, indicating the points in the leaderboards where the most significant drop-offs occur. In the heat of a draft, you will know which position to target by observing which one is closest to having its current level exhausted.
