blonde NFL Fantasy League 2019/20

[TightEnd]

but Phil you are implying that I am stupid.

I know exactly what I am doing, and its utterly pointless and spurious to quote draft values of seven weeks ago

I would not have traded the top 3 fantasy rb's this season, McCoy, Charles or Lynch. If you did a re-draft today these three would be the top three on value season to date

AP for Bryant+ is a far closer call, given the potential/performance of Bryant, the scoring potential of the Dallas offense and the changing dynamic of the Vikings offense

I did not put AP out to tender as Bryant was the only player I was interested in, outside the top three RBs

I also know about the points scoring of the league vis a vis RBs and WRs, though you seem to suggest I am too stupid to know this

I am taking a gamble (which could backfire) but its also a gamble knowing what the rest of my roster looks like, and the problems I have with Fitzgerald who was the last WR1 standing when I came to pick at 32 on the day


The trade can be undone, I don't really mind. I'll concentrate on my other leagues

Surely the only reason anyone accepts a trade is because they think there's a chance they got the better end of the deal?

Otherwise, why trade?

I probably shouldn't get involved...

Chaps, sleep on it and let's review on Tuesday when the markets reopen.

Only a general method but one way to gauge the value of the players in a trade is to put their draft numbers into a trade analyser. There are a few around, as the season progresses you might have to revert to a 'where would this guy be drafted now' approach as obviously some players appear from out of the blue and others decline in value, think Keenan Allen and David Wilson off the top of my head. If you are happy that the players draft positions are ok then this will tell you if the trades are ok. It is a rock solid way of valuing player values if they are playing to their expected numbers which it is fair to say the three players involved in the trade today are. The one done today is miles away, draft pick 1 for draft pick 19 and 51 playing as expected can be seen here if you put in the numbers.

This doesn't take into account bye weeks either and Curtis understands that a player who has had his bye week has more value than players that haven't.

[TightEnd]

this is flawed, because you are dealing with today and NOT where they were drafted

It is not flawed if you are judging where the players would be drafted today. Those players are playing to their expected levels, a good wr is worth much less than a good rb which is all accounted for in the draft positions of the league. That is without the added value of AP having had his bye week which increases his value by a lot in this trade.

fine, keep implying I am stupid

I am out. Will leave the team untouched from here on.

Rich,

Why do you keep using the word stupid when nobody else has?

You have been taken advantage of here in relation to the value of the players you have traded ( you must be able to see this by the response of others) yet you are sticking up for the guy that has simply gone thru the league and tried to do that to numerous other people until he got one/two thru?

Again, how is that trying to make the league fun for everyone

[LeKnave]

Calm down guys, everybody else could of had the opportunity to school someone in a trade, props to sheriff for getting one done.  

Dont think sheriff is remotely in the wrong, just made some very good trades to try and win.  Pretty much the point of the game!

[The Camel]

Has Brent got a view on all this controversy?

but is it tho Dave?

Who wants to win by just taking advantage of the other people, and those trades disadvantage everyone else. Was it you that said Brady for Bell stunk, why would we just say well done for doing it again here?

[The Camel]

I'm too scared to do trades, because I always assume I'm getting way the worst of it.

Although I will always listen to offers from Chip Rich.

I did yeah, but I dont think theres actually much wrong with it.  Was more just a bit of banter.  I just look at it as him simply "outplaying" other people, for want of a better word.

If anybody wants to send me a sick player for a couple of pigeons, hit me up  ;-)

fml. Want to let me try win my money back this year btw?

Am absolutely open to any trade offers from anyone btw, fire away. I enjoy opening up a trade offer to see which utter pigeons i am being offered.

[ChipRich]

In terms of the trade - Not too bothered, if Tighty is happy with the trade and has a different opinion to other people about his future production that is fair enough, its upto him. His team might have more needs, to improve it elsewhere etc.

Obviously there is the thing about taking advantage of people, but we dont want to put people off making trades, you live and learn, its sometimes the only way in this game.
