How to (Best) Construct Your IDP Best Ball Rosters

Josh welcomes David Kelly to the show to discuss the trends he noticed while writing his article about IDP best ball roster construction.

When all you have is the draft, how you construct your rosters is critical to success. If you're too light on one position or too heavy on another, it can totally sink your chances of taking home the prize. While our knowledge of IDP best ball in general and roster construction specifically is still evolving, it's important to react according to the data we have right now. For this conversation, Josh Raymer brings on David Kelly, author of the two best articles on IDP best ball roster construction you'll find online. The duo discusses best ball versus managed leagues, how the ADP has shifted from 2023 to 2024, how drafters approach IDP Madness versus other IDP best ball drafts, and how they think draft trends will change.
