I believe the best strategy is a flexible strategy that is driven by “opportunity”

You can’t choose when a specific position drops to you in the draft
You can’t choose when an ideal free agent class drops to you
You can’t choose which guys lose their health
You can’t choose when you land a particularly good couple drafts, nor can you choose when you have a tough stretch



If you’re always pushing forward to max, you can’t choose when to make an extra splash that takes advantage of an opportunity, nor can you choose to do that if you’re rigid in staying in a certain cap health situation.

However, your cap health is 100% something, as a GM, you have complete control over. So I believe using that flexibility to surf the wave of opportunity is the way to go.
