I recently did my mixed league draft and here is my team, with comments.
One dicta of conventional wisdom that I rail against is the idea that you should not target specific players. That is hogwash; I almost always target specific players and often will get them. When you see the team I drafted in this league, you will see many of the same players that I have on the expert league team and in my high stakes league auction team, if I ever get around to writing about it! This goes to show that not only is this piece of advice ridiculous but also that no matter the caliber of the competition in your league you can often get most of the players you want.
I like to call the following idea "leverage." When you like a player and strongly think you have a better idea of what the player will do than the masses, then it is usually smart to leverage that player. What I mean is that he should be a building block of all of your teams insofar as it is possible. The reason is that when you think you have a big edge in a specific player that few others recognize, that player has great "leverage" to you and you can leverage that player to victory across multiple teams and leagues.
