You've seen the format everywhere: players priced one to five dollars, fifteen dollars in your pocket, build the best team. The argument usually dies in the comments — "your team has no defense," "mine wins by 20" — because nobody can prove anything. Here, the argument gets settled. Your $15 build plays a real simulated season, and the record is the receipt.
▶ Take the $15 challenge — freeSix roster spots: quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end, one front-seven defender (edge, tackle or linebacker), one defensive back (corner or safety). The market offers five real players per spot — one at each price from $5 down to $1 — and the total of your six signings can't pass $15. Prices are honest: only the top few percent of all-time seasons at a position wear the $5 tag.
At $12 every build looks the same; at $20 everyone buys stars. Fifteen forces the classic dilemmas: the stars-and-scrubs build (two $5 legends, four $1 prayers), the balanced board ($3 and $2 across the board, no heroes, no holes), or the QB-first doctrine (the sim weighs quarterback play 1.5× — does that justify the $5?). Thousands of allocations are legal. On most days, exactly none of them is perfect — about one market in three contains a true 20-0 line.
Every finished season produces a shareable GM receipt — your six hires, their prices, and the record they earned — plus a challenge link that gives friends the exact same market and the same $15. Same shelves, same prices, no excuses: whoever allocates better, wins. It's the comment-section argument, with a scoreboard.

Yes, and your receipt will show it — but leaving money on the table usually costs wins. Cap discipline cuts both ways.
Both play the identical market from the challenge link; the simulated season record decides it. The simulation is deterministic, so the comparison is pure.
