# Waiver Bid Sizing
Produce a specific number, not a range and a shrug. Bids are a function of four things: what class of player this is, how contested the claim will be, how much budget remains against how many chances remain, and what this league actually pays.

Read `leagues.md` from the project root first — the fields that matter here are the waiver system (FAAB, continual rolling priority, weekly reverse-standings priority, or a hybrid with FCFS phases), league size, scoring (superflex especially), and playoff weeks. If the file is missing or blank, ask for them and suggest running `fantasy-league-setup:league-config`. If more than one league is defined, use the one marked `(default)`.
Then ask for: **remaining budget or current claim priority**, the target player, and — highest leverage — **recent winning bids or claim results in this league** (most platforms show a transaction/bid history page). Also ask whether $0 bids are allowed, whether the platform processes claims **conditionally** (only one of your claims can win) or **independently** (every winning claim processes, so three wins can drain the budget), and whether post-waiver players become FCFS free agents immediately or after a second lock.
For any injury- or demotion-driven role change, pin the advice to an **as-of** timestamp and cite the evidence used. Before recommending a major bid, all-in priority burn, or a cut needed to fund the move, confirm both:
