... under the salary cap. A team can usually only sign one or two highly priced free agents every year.

I'm picking my ultimate fantasy team but with the restriction of staying within the salary cap. This year's cap is $127 million.

I value young players just entering their prime over older veterans who have one or two prime years left.  The younger players, unless they are recent top 10 picks, are cheaper than accomplished veterans in their early 30's.

I also try my best to avoid players who have had multiple off-field issues or who come across as me-first players.

When I build a defense, I used a 4-3 scheme because more teams in the league use a 4-3 than a 3-4.  Because of this, I left out players like DeMarcus Ware who fit much better in a 3-4 than a 4-3.

As you'll discover, however, this doesn't mean I excluded all players currently in a 3-4 scheme.
